MUCH more to martial arts

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a modern coined term that’s been popularized by brands like the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) which is fun to watch! The truth is, mixed martial arts is an old concept that’s been practiced since the inception of martial arts. Systems like us evolve over time, learning new skills, new techniques, new adaptations and then some! Back in the feudal days of China, what we would call “cross training” was standard operating procedure. There’s much more to it, you’ll have to come for that folklore!

What you’ll need to know outside of the cage, as MMA has been affiliated with nowadays, is there’s MUCH MUCH more to martial arts. For us, that includes, but is not limited to learning about health, wellness, meditations, yogic practices, fitness, herbs, tea, weapons, homesteading, and philosophy, just to name a few. We train what’s considered scholars, not just brawlers. Don’t get us wrong, we’ll throw down if we need to, but there’s more to life than fighting.

Authentic Martial Art With Over 400 Years of History.

White Tiger Kung Fu (or "Bak Fu Pai" in Cantonese) is an internal martial arts system that originated in Southern China. Also known as "The Emperor's Art," Bak Fu Pai is a "complete" martial arts system that contains a series of forms, exercises, meditations, and herbal knowledge.

Why is lineage important? If you were interviewing candidates for a marketing position, who would you have certain preconceived notions about before you even meet them: a business major from Harvard or a business major from Oklahoma State University?

There's a certain standard of education you can expect, a proven track record of producing successful students that enter the workforce, and a level of performance to be assumed. This is true with Kung Fu. People come to White Tiger Kung Fu to become scholars, not just brawlers. To learn more about us, click here.

KJ K. | San Marcos, CA

Vi Sifu, Trinni & Jonathan were so awesome with my daughter (4.5 years old) during the introductory zoom class they hosted! My daughter had never done any martial arts and she loved the class, learned a lot, and had a ton of fun. The class was for 4-6 year-olds and they were great at keeping the kids engaged, even in the virtual format, which was amazing to me. They taught principles like respect, healthy living, and discipline, and also did a lot of exercises to wear the kids out, while teaching the kung fu basics. They also went above and beyond to call to check in with me and to send progress emails. This was a free class they did for the community in response to COVID so I was really pleasantly surprised that they went the extra mile to do those things. They really seem to care and have passion for what they do.

I've trained at several gyms throughout the years and I can honestly say that I have experienced the most personal growth from Rizzo's White Tiger Kung Fu School. What drew me in was the fact that it is a complete system where you learn everything from fighting aspects to meditations, to Chinese herbology, and many more. There is so much knowledge to be gained here that I don't need to go anywhere else.

 

I want to thank Sifu Joel for all the guidance in making me the man I am today and for all the help he's given my family. I look forward to many more years of growth through White Tiger Kung Fu.

 

Steffi K. | Dublin, NH

What a place! I studied Kung Fu at Authentic White Tiger with Sifu Jol and his team and it changed my life...LITERALLY, I got so much more than what I actually came for. Yes I started learning Kung Fu, yes I achieved awesome physical shape and never felt any more confident or strong, but there was/ is so much more....

My entire way of thinking changed. Sifu Joel also introduced me to the amazing benefits of Eastern Medicine. I was very resistant until I experienced the astonishing results myself. When I started there, I was a Medicinal Chemist, working in pharmaceutical research, frequently "plagued" by migraines. I became so incredibly fascinated by Kung Fu and Eastern Medicine. Now I am running my own very busy acupuncture/ Chinese Medicine practice with offices in MA and NH. Yes- migraine free for decades (after all doctors/ specialists told me that would never happen) and Sifu Joel became my lifelong friend and mentor. Thank you for all Sifu Joel! I will keep on looking for ways to express my gratitude to you, your family and your team- my brothers and sisters. I do not want to imagine where I would be now, without ever having found White Tiger Kung Fu.
