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.

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.

White Tiger Kung Fu is truly as good as it gets! Not only do I get to stay fit, I get to do it in a clean and safe environment. Students and instructors come from all walks of life, many of which are lead professionals in their respective fields. This makes for lively discussions, dynamic workouts and, at times, entertaining banter. I also really enjoy learning daily, simple practices that promote health- from making organic gingerale, to gardening, to power meditations. However, the primary reason that I have been studying at White Tiger for 5+ years is the supportive community. I am thankful to have friends and mentors who not only challenge me to grow but who also encourage me along the way. I am very excited for the journey ahead!!!

White Tiger Kung Fu has filled a need in my life I didn't even know I had! I've never done any type of martial art before but when I signed my kids up, I decided to sign myself up too! Everyone is so encouraging and kind. Every time I leave it's having done a great workout and with a smile on my face! Highly recommend!!
