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.

The owner, the instructors, the staff and the students at White Tiger Kung Fu are all great personalities and great people as a whole.

I've conducted business with them for many years, and I have to say it has been absolutely the best experience in my career. I've referred many people (and many of my own clients) to their school. The staff is so knowledgeable and helpful, I couldn't imagine anyone leaving this place disgruntled. It's really weird to see a bad review, with all these other great ones on here.

The products they carry are phenomenal for health and martial arts training. In fact, great for any kind of physical training and health based arts. They carry this liniment called Dit Dar Jow that I am in love with. Couldn't imagine going a day without it. Excellent for sore muscles, arthritis, stretching....pretty much everything physical.

White Tiger Kung Fu, keep on doing a great job, and thanks for all that you do for the world!

I have been training at White Tiger for 4 years. My initial interest was for my kids. But, years before I had taken some Tai Chi & when they told me that their curriculum included Tai Chi & they had affordable family plans, I signed everyone up. Because of other interests the kids classes do not work for me & they have allowed them to train with me in the adult class. The staff & other students have been very helpful and accommodating schedule conflicts for promotions & such as participation in various sports periodically conflicts with weekend promotions.

I highly recommend White Tiger Kung Fu for anyone who is interested with improving themselves & their outlook on life through kung fu. Not to mention a good workout & acquiring some traditional Chinese martial skills!

Joel Rizzos Authentic White Tiger Kung fu is as good as it gets. I have been training for 24 years, including a very authentic Japanese Art which trains and focuses on self defence, positive thinking and ultimate health. I actually travel 3000 kms every few months to train with them since it is so difficult to find a school with their vast array of knowledge, which includes herb & tea lore. Diagnosed with a severe syndrome I had thought my life was coming to a painful end. Sifu Rizzo and his instructors helped bring me back to a state of health which the physio-therapist could not. Combined with very careful and precise techniques is the most effective qi gong and meditation training you can get anywhere!

I truly believe that if it were not for the White Tiger School in San Diego my life would have writhered away as well as any possibility of a future.
