Will training encourage my child to fight?

Absolutely not, statistics have shown that people who know how to defend themselves rarely have to fight since they carry themselves in a more confident manner. The discipline instilled in children at Tiger Schulmann’s deters them from getting into fights and starting trouble.

How can I stay involved with my child’s training?

There are many ways to stay involved with your child’s training such as watching them train and attending other Tiger Schulmann events with them. A seating area is designated in schools for parents to be able to watch their children’s class. Schools also hold “Mother’s Night” and “Father’s Night” inviting parents to train one class with their children.
