Daniel “Tiger” Schulmann, who received his black belt at age 12 and is the owner of an eponymous chain of martial arts academies, has put his two-bedroom, two-bathroom Soho loft on the market for $2.19 million.
The third-floor co-op at 196 Sixth Ave. is 1,362 square feet.
It features a woodburning fireplace with a brick mantle and custom floor-to-ceiling millwork.
There’s also a chef’s kitchen, a master suite with a spa-like bathroom and lots of storage.
“A two-bedroom, two-bathroom loft directly below is also on the market. Combined, they are asking $3.97 million as a four-bedroom duplex.”
The building dates to 1893.
It was designed by Sgt. Nathaniel Bush, who was then the New York Police Department’s official architect, and used as the 10th Precinct police station before becoming the NYPD quartermaster’s storehouse. It was converted into a residential co-op in 1987.
Both listings are repped by Sotheby’s brokers Jeremy Stein and Jennifer Lanza.

I have a story. Back in the early to mid 90s I worked at a mc dojo full time for three years. I already had over a decade of martial arts training at the time mostly in tang soo do, bujinkan budo taijutsu,and some Bak mei kung fu. The school was run by a guy that called himself professor, and created his own martial arts which was an eclectic mix of karate ,boxing and some grappling and others. The system itself was not bad, but the place was run in the usually mc dojo fashion. The PROFESSOR would basically hire people with black belt in other systems and begin teaching them his curriculum to teach to the masses.
During this time there was a guy that worked part time at the school that came from a Tiger Schulman background, he was a black belt in the Tiger Schulman system. He was about the same age as myself at the time and a little taller than me about the same weight.During the black belt sparring classes I had the pleasure to spar with him. I remember catching him with three or four strike combos. I mean clear shoots, four in a row. Never had that before when sparring a black belt from any style, imagine jab cross, then round house kick then side kick all connecting one after the other. Really can't say if it was his ability or the school/systems that made him such a poor fighter, could just be an isolated incident. He also refused to grapple me in sparring.
