MMA Classes in Carmel Valley

Since day one of the white tiger training they have shared their knowledge with no reserves toward higher ranks. Since day one they welcomed us like if we were here for years. I feel welcome and it's a lot of fun practicing with my son. White tiger shows us discipline, knowledge about martial art, friendship, and application. They don't test you for the program that you have bought or how much money you make, they test you when they see how much progress you have made. All of us here are like family. The white tiger martial art includes a lot of fun and healthy exercises. Every day everyone learns something new.

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.

My entire experience with White Tiger Kung Fu has been amazing. I had a great time during my first few trial classes. The character of the practitioners was exactly what I was looking for, especially in the higher ranks. The students were genuinely positive and supportive. The environment had a good feel and I enjoyed the moves I was learning. I decided to join and have been a student for the last couple of years.

This system has many aspects and is truly a martial art. On a physical level there are many exercises that increase speed, power, and endurance. There is conditioning equipment like heavy bags and mok jong (wooden dummy). Also, proper techniques to safely condition the body. On an Internal level, there are forms and chi gung (power meditations). We learn how to build, feel and manipulate chi. The External and Internal techniques combine to create an explosive and fast style.

The school has access to high quality herbal formulas. These aid training in a variety of ways. The external dit dar jow is helpful in the removal of bruises and injuries. There are various teas and tonics that have unique affects. The internal ones taste great too. The teas are very clean and the tonics have a delicious honey flavor. Whatever level you wish to train at, the school will accommodate you: recreational to serious exercise, disciplined martial artist, or anything beyond. I'd highly recommend checking out the school and seeing if it's for you.
