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 of White Tiger Kung Fu for over 5 years, and I can't imagine training anywhere else. Kung Fu training has improved my health, strength, and endurance. White Tiger has helped me to reach goals in my career and personal life. The instructors are competent, friendly, and really care about your growth, not just as a martial artist, but as a person. Many students who attend the school call fellow students their Kung Fu family because we all help each other grow and learn regardless of our differences. I've never felt unwelcome at White Tiger and older students except new comers with open arms. White Tiger is a school where you can train in peace and not feel the need to posture or show off just to fit in. Come visit White Tiger Kung Fu and I guarantee you'll be welcomed with a smile.

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.

I first came to Authentic White Tiger Kung Fu to learn Tai Chi to help heal myself from a neck injury. Using the Tai Chi AND all the other aspects of the White Tiger system, not only did I end my chronic neck pain, but I also found a traditional system of Martial Arts that has trained my body, mind, and spirit to become vastly more healthy, wealthy, and wise. This school has it all!
