I was 25 and looking for a place to train in martial arts because my whole life I wanted to get into it. Sensei Zapfel confidently answered all of my questions and I before I knew it my journey began in MMA. Months passed and as my training became a regular part of my life I became faster, stronger and my body became nicely cut (the gym wasn’t delivering this). The personal reward of seeing me improve week by week is like nothing else.

With the holidays and vacations my body fat percentage fluctuates throughout the year and every time I’ve turned to MMA to cut the weight quickly and transform my body back to my beach body! The curriculum never gets stagnant here and is always evolving slowly which is what I love about the program. I’m never bored and am always challenged. The workouts are humbling and remind me there is always room for improvement no matter how athletic I think I am. This program has helped me find self-discipline and confidence that I never knew I had.

Sensei Zapfel is an excellent teacher and speaker. I’ve been around to other schools in the organization and I wouldn’t trade the quality of my classroom experience for any other school I’ve been to! I also have gotten to know the other students very well and they are a very friendly and welcoming group. I look forward to my training every week.I highly recommend this school and I personally welcome new students to train with. Most IMPORTANTLY… there are NO egos here!

After my first class at Tiger Schulmann's in Wayne in 2007, I was hooked! The beginner class I took was full of energy, and I got an amazing workout while learning basic self defense. The staff and students at the school are great, friendly, hardworking people, and we have a great time while getting a great workout. Sensei and his team work hard to make sure all levels of students are achieving their health and fitness goals, giving you support, encouragement, and personalized instruction. I would recommend Tiger Schulmann's to anyone who was looking for a change to their workout routine - after one class you'll be hooked!

My son, then five, was having some confidence issues and I guess it was showing up in school (kindergarten). It was mild but it sent up a red flag to me. After attempts to get him involved in some team sports, when he realized that he couldn’t play the way he wanted he gave up thinking he was no good at anything. This has all changed over the last seven months that he has been enrolled in Mixed Martial Arts with Sensei Zapfel at Tiger Schulmann’s in Wayne. The family attitude presented from the first day of class coupled with a fun atmosphere has transformed my son into a confident young man. Enrolled in the Core class started it all… now he is in Core, Grappling and Kick Boxing, he loves it all and any and all issues with bullies are a thing of the past (with no worries of him becoming a bully either).Thank you Sensei, Joshu and all of the staff at TSMMA!

I have been athletic all my life, and have experienced many different forms of training and conditioning.

Without a doubt my experience at TSK Wayne with Sensei Zapfel has been the most enjoyable and rewarding.

Whether you are looking to truly experience MMA, or looking for a new form of exercise Sensei Zapfel will adapt to your needs.

The classes are fun, fast paced, and highly motivating. The atmosphere created by Sensei Zapfel and joshu Adler is friendly and welcoming.

I guarantee that anyone who truly commits themselves will find the experience mentally and physically rewarding.

I joined TSMMA 6 years ago after taking a trial class. I was hooked from the first class I took. After years of failed attempts at health clubs , I finally found a place that works. Sensei Zapfel and his staff are dedicated to the school they run. Having Sensei teach each class is like having a personal trainer everytime I work out. They motivate you to achieve excellence and really preach consistency to help you achieve your goals. I f you are an adult or have a child consider trying this. It will get you physically fit,build confidence and just teach you a healthy way of life.And if you think you are to old think again ,I am almost 49 and have no plans of stopping anytime soon.
Thank you Sensei Zapfel and Joshu Adler for an awesome Martial Arts School !!!!

I have been training at TSMMA of Wayne for about five years. I first started as a result of a Woman's Safe seminar and have not looked back! What started out as a place to go just to get fit has become a second home! The staff and student are like family and the martial arts has become a lifestyle. I can't thank the staff at TSMMA enough for their dedication to me as a student and friend. As a result of ALL of the people at TSMMA I am stronger, fitter, clearer, and more confident than I have EVER been! If you are condidering a change, try TSMAA, it changed my life in ways I never dreamed were possible!

I am a single parent and my son trained at the Wayne TS School under Sensei Zapfel and Joshu Adler. I must say that both Sensei and Joshu could not have come at a better time in my life. Sensei Zapfel has helped my son deal with a divorce and has instilled life long values that no therapist could have ever done. I am happy to say that my son is a straight A student with many friends and is always smiling. He does not get bullied on the playground and walks with his head held high.

My overall experience was a win-win situation. We achieved both physical and mental strength. Thank you Sensei Zapfel and Joshu Adler.

An added benefit to the Wayne school is their focus on fitness. Whether you are 5 years old or 70 years old, Sensei and Joshu's Wayne school has something to offer to everyone. If you simply want to lose weight or are struggling with one of life’s challenges then I highly recommend going to the Wayne School under 2 great human beings. I cannot thank Sensei Zapfel enough!

I have been watching my two sons here twice a week for about 2 years. I think in todays world this is the perfect place to send your children to learn how to become better at every aspect of life. Sensei Zapfel is dedicated in teaching these children valuable lessons that they will carry with them forever. So glad that this is in my backyard and my kids attend the classes there.

My sons have been students at this school for over five years. Sensei Zapfel is not only the finest of instructors, but an excellent role model as well. The staff is caring and take a special interest in each and every child at the school. My sons have become fit, decicated and confident young men due to the time they have trained at Tiger Schulmann's.
