My boys have been students at Masters Martial Arts for many years, and we couldn't be happier with…read morethe experience. Master Mike and his team strike the perfect balance of professionalism, discipline, kindness, and encouragement. The skills and structure my boys have gained extend far beyond learning Taekwondo, helping them build confidence, discipline, and valuable life skills. What truly sets Masters Martial Arts apart is how much the team genuinely cares about their students and families. They go beyond teaching martial arts to support each student's overall growth and well-being, both inside and outside the studio. We are so grateful to be part of the Masters Martial Arts family!

Masters martial arts is great! After a lot of research and trials at other dojos, Masters turned…read moreout to be a perfect fit for us. My 8 yr. old son has been a member for close to a year now. From the time he was a toddler he struggled with extreme shyness and social anxiety. These classes have helped him dramatically overcome most of these issues. It is also heart warming to see him smiling and enjoying himself in class. He is a talented young piano player that is now able to perform at recitals, something that we never thought would be possible. We were so impressed by this school that my husband and I decided to join the adult classes. I have become stronger, leaner and healthier! (My pre-baby jeans fit again!). Master Mike is a great teacher, he is firm but kind and makes classes fun and engaging for all levels! Stacey D.

Pros: - Dariel or D is the owner of the place and the main instructor for Krav and Fitness Bootcamp, and he is amazing! He knows when to push you for bootcamp (expect some yelling) but he doesn't overdo it. Overall, he is just a great instructor - explains everything in detail and does it slowly so you can grasp the concept he is trying to teach - Krav Maga classes - amazing group of people to work with - everyone is super friendly and is eager to help each other learn (the seniors are grouped in with the beginners which is great bc you learn the techniques faster and more accurately); I go every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday for Krav so I can keep learning new techniques; I am terrible at coordination but Krav is definitely helping me get better at it and making me stronger; besides self defense you learn how to act when there is a gun involved - Fitness Bootcamp classes - each class is different; D actually spends the time and makes sure each class is different so you can work on a different group of muscles and he also makes it fun bc you don't know what to expect; now that the weather is warmer we are running outside which is nice; I go every Wednesday and Sunday to stay fit bc it's a great workout (you get what you put in) and you won't get bored - Martial Blade Concept (MBC) classes - great class to learn about how to act when you're confronted with knives situations - Facility is clean and doesn't smell - Close to the LIRR station - you can easily walk from the LIRR station to here Cons: - No lockers - 1 year commitment

There's so many incredible things I can say about this school. The instructors are motivating,…read moreextremely knowledgeable, and genuinely care to see you reach your goals. My son has been training for over a year, he's now 4 and there's never been a day where he's not super excited to go to class! The cubs program is absolutely adorable, and teaches kids coordination, discipline, to work as team, and focus. I've seen my little boy flourish, and I'm looking forward to his progress in the years to come. My husband and I were so impressed with the instructors that we signed up too! We've now been training for under a year and it's been such a life changing experience. Grateful for the team at Tiger Schulmanns. My child is not held in a 1 year contract as another reviewer mentioned. I'm certain that programs change depending on age. However, karate is a commitment and teaches accountability. In which, I'd gladly sign him up for a year bc I didn't raise a quitter. My honest review, and the countless 5 star reviews speak for themselves. Truly the best! Also, regarding another reviewer not sure how many MMA schools, or businesses for that matter, would honor the same program 20 years later. Programs expire and prices change.

I would like to highly recommend this place to anyone who is interested in martial arts. No matter…read morewhat level of experience you have from beginner to professional fighter there is no better place then Tiger Schulmanns in Syosset. They literally transformed my life. They taught me self confidence, self determination, and helped me when I was down and out for the count. There are many great people over there from students to instructors. I would like to mention two people who are very special. They are Shihan Gravina and Joshu Zhivanaj. They were very supportive and helpful. Cole

I had the distinct pleasure of taking a class with Lisa and Lynn today and I am beyond impressed. I…read morehave a lot of great things to say, so get ready to read a novel Where do I start.... How about personality? I called Lisa the night before the class to see if she could squeeze me in. From the moment Lisa answered the phone right on through the entire class, she made me feel as though we have been close friends for years. She squeezed me into her class last minute and was obviously very accommodating (I called her at 6pm for a class that began at 10am the next morning). When I got to the class, not only did she greet everyone with a smile, but she laughed and joked with us to build an immediate rapport which made everyone feel extremely comfortable. Skills ... This is where I was a little skeptical. I've been shooting for many years (military and police) so I didn't think that I would get a whole lot out of a basic course, I kinda went in with a closed mind. Truthfully, I was only taking it as a prerequisite to an instructors course. But this is where I was beyond impressed. Lisa and Lynn have absolutely amazing skills. They broke the class down to the bare basics so that if this was your first time ever seeing a firearm, you would have an excellent understanding of firearms, the basics of their operations, and fundamentals, nomenclature, and of course safety. During the classroom portion Lisa expounded beyond the textbook to advance her students knowledge.... not gonna lie, I learned plenty from the classroom and this shocked me!!! When it came to the range and live fire scenarios, I watched Lynn and her team work one on one with every student. Some had never fired a gun before and others had years of experience. Somehow they managed to give us all so many tips and tricks that we all left being significantly better shooters than we were when we started the class. I have taken hundreds of different training courses throughout my career in law enforcement, fire services, and military. But I have never met an instruction with such passion, knowledge and skills as I have with Lynn and Lisa. I will definitely be taking ALL of their classes as we move forward. My wife and daughters will also be future students of Lisa and Lynn!!! I tip my hat to these amazing instructors, you truly are the best!!!

Where do I begin... I was a novice and very gun shy when I reached out to Lisa for 1 on 1 firearms…read moretraining. She's a combination of super knowledgeable and patient... the two elements of an amazing teacher. I can confidently say under her training, I've developed gun safety and knowledge and skill with my gal pal, Ms. Sig Sauer. I will continue to work with Lisa and attend her 18 hour CCW course the end of this month.

I'm proud to say I've been here 3 years and am part of the morning crew and can't say anything negative . It has all kinds of classes to suit your schedule. Sensi Neil and sifu Chris have been such a positive influence and motivation for me. The best part is it's a place for everyone. If you're a competitor this is a great place to train as there are many comp ready teammates, more of a hobbiest? We have that here. A female only class we also have that! We have a wide range of black, brown, purple and blue belts who all are very respectful, A newbie? We have a great beginners class. It has it all. Not a BJJ guy? We have kickboxing as well. The first step is always the hardest but once you're here you'll understand.

My son took the trial classes for Kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and was hooked. ECMMA has given my son the confidence, mindset, and skills that most people do not even possess. Then, my wife started taking Sparring classes and Kickboxing where fitness and health became her daily routine. Soon, my youngest son and I followed by taking BJJ classes, along with my daughter who took the same classes with her mom. All the instructors/coaches are dedicated in helping every member to achieve their growth and development, and reach their full potential through fitness and confidence, which is priceless. ECMMA is a family oriented gym, yet also produces competitive home grown athletes from surrounding local schools. ECMMA also added 6am BJJ classes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Once in a while, ECMMA also invites instructors and athletes from different gyms as guests to give tutorials. The facility has two open mat areas, shower, and a weight room that is located in the basement. If I can start learning BJJ at 43 years old, then everyone can - it's all due to the support and guidance of each instructors. Our family have planted our flag here in ECMMA and we invite everyone to experience the positive vibes and energy, while building a better version of yourself through fitness and health.
