Sensei David Castro is more than a martial arts instructor—he is a mentor, a guide, and a true builder of character. My son began training with Sensei David at Tiger Schulmann's when he was just 4 years old, and the transformation over the years was extraordinary. Under Sensei David’s leadership, my son developed not only strong technique and discipline, but most importantly, a resilient and confident mindset.
At a time when my son was facing bullying from older children, Sensei David empowered him to stand tall, believe in himself, and respond with strength and self-respect. Through consistent training and compassionate coaching, he helped my son grow into a confident young man who could navigate challenges with courage and clarity.
