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 is 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 not limited to learning about health, wellness, meditations, yogic practices, fitness, herbs, tea, weapons, homesteading, 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.

I've been a student at White Tiger since 2010. I started my Martial Arts path as a "weakling," who was dependent on medication to keep my heart palpitations in check.  I appreciated the patience and understanding of all the instructors to allow me to progress at my own pace. There was no judgment and no pressure. Just compassion and encouragement.  Fast forward to 2018 when I reached a point where I was no longer dependent on medication, could literally run laps around the school, and earned my Black Belt.  Today, I'm a 4th-degree black belt and help others grow and thrive, just as the instructors who came before me. Sifu Joel, the owner, and Master of the White Tiger System is my biggest supporter, sharing knowledge in the Scholar's Way of Martial Arts. He doesn't just teach us to kick and punch. We learn about meditations and Ancient Chinese Herbal knowledge.  We also learn vital life skills such as clean eating, cooking, finances and so much more.

Fitness, health and growth-wise, White Tiger is BY FAR and away one of the greatest experiences I've had in my life!! The instruction is as good as it gets and being a "traditional martial art", it is a complete system with more to it than you can imagine. After only four years of training, my self-confidence in self-defense has grown 1,000-fold, and I know with 100% certainty that I have the fighting / self-defense knowledge that is required to protect myself and my love ones (personal growth and self-defense are the main reasons I joined and boy has the School delivered!!!). I KNOW I will be training here for many years to come and I can't wait to see the growth it brings me!

The students are sincerely friendly and upbeat and always work as a team. The School is INCREDIBLY clean and consistently feels like an oasis in all the dirt, grime, hecticness and craziness that exist in our society today.

You "just know" something special happens here. I feel truly fortunate to have even found this school!

If you live any where near White Tiger you just have to come by and see the School for yourself. There really is nothing else like it, especially right here in San Diego!
