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.

I started by looking for a place to have a place for work out and hang out to just have fun, now I'm in love with this place. Master Lee teaches every class in person and monitors every student's progress. The black belt students in class are very helpful and encouraging! This is a great place for learning new skill, making connections with wonderful people and self-improvement.

The Syosset Martial Arts Center is the best martial arts school in the area. When I first started…read moretraining here 13 years ago, I had tried several schools in the area and SMAC was the only place that I got a truly familial vibe. The entire teaching staff is encouraging and helpful, so much so that I began teaching there after several years of training. The style of karate is straight forward and direct with little in the way of frills or fancy technique. Equal emphasis is placed on self-defense and competition style fighting. If you want to learn to fight, Sensei Avi is the man to go to, if you want to compete, well he's still the right man to go to. Now the school is also offering Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu through Soca BJJ. The instructor, Cristian Buitron, is a very dynamic teacher who has competed and medaled internationally at numerous IBJJF competitions.

Their programs reinforce good behavior, respect, and kindness towards others as well as motivating them to work hard toward their goals of earning (stars/stripes) or advancing to the next belt rank. I am glad that I chose this dojang specifically over the others in the area and am excited to see how my children further in their own personal growth and TKD training. Thank you to the entire Syosset Champions Martial Arts team for all your hard work, patience and dedication!

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 mention two people who are very special. They are Shihan Gravina and Joshu Zhivanaj. They were very supportive and helpful. Cole

Martial arts was a perfect fit and was helping him. When we moved to Syosset, we knew we wanted him to continue with martial arts so we spent some time trying to find a school that would be a good fit. He was three at the time so a lot of schools were hesitant to take him. Then we met Sensei Karen at Zanshin Self Defense. From the first sample class we knew her and her school would be perfect for our son. The classes are well structured and no one in the class is left behind. Each class flows from physical fitness to running, skills, and finally ending with some kind of fun game that the kids love. The best part is my son's muscular development is markedly improved and he is now doing drills with ease that used to give him troubles. Sensei Karen is great at empowering the kids and making them proud when they earn a "stripe" or their next colored belt. My son was so proud when he made yellow belt that I couldn't wipe the smile off of his face. Truly a joy to behold. Highly recommended and the first class is free. Give Sensei Karen a try, you won't be disappointed.

My child was recently hired for a summer lifeguard position at Life Time, and unfortunately the…read moreonboarding experience has been extremely disappointing. She is currently a high school senior balancing final exams, end-of-year sports commitments, concerts, and other school obligations she has committed to through graduation. Throughout communication with the manager she would be reporting to, she provided the days and times she was available based on her school schedule and activities. However, no specific onboarding or training dates were clearly communicated upfront, such as mandatory dates for the team. After a misunderstanding regarding "next week" versus the week after Memorial Day -- when she actually has days off from school -- she received a message stating that more availability was expected from her. Shortly after, he informed her that he would have to let her go because of this. What was also concerning was the expectation of ongoing text communication during the school day. In New York, students are not permitted to be using their phones during school hours, yet she felt pressured to respond. Students and parents should be aware of this lack of communication and understanding when dealing with high school applicants. Clear onboarding expectations and schedules should be communicated upfront, especially when hiring students who are still actively in school. A little professionalism and respect for academics would have gone a long way here.
