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.

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.

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!!!
