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.

Authentic. This is the real deal! Growing up with a very strong spiritual background, I have to say this is as real as it gets to understanding the world around and most importantly the world within. For truth seekers, light bringers, spiritual warriors...this is the place to be! For those in the martial world seeking a home where the knowledge is endless, the path is continuous...this too is where you need to be!

Complete. Through this fascinating journey of kung fu, we get to explore the depth of our human potential. In a safe, positive environment we find out just how far down this rabbit hole leads. Besides, haven't you ever wanted to know what the other 90% of our brain they say we don't use, is for? The only way to get there is with a complete system that integrates the mind, body and soul in all activities.

Results. As they say, "The Proof is in the Results." Over the years I've seen hundreds of students...they each come for a different reason, but all end up with tangible results. The longer they stick around, the more results are generated. I've heard 7 year olds say the most profound things, do the most amazing things with their chi, and demonstrate skills some adults spend YEARS trying to develop. I've witnessed miracles being performed. My mother's health go from near death to pristine. My aunts arthritis disappear. My grandpa's bronchitis go away overnight. My shin splints went away. My shoulder healed. I'm no longer near sighted. That's just stuff I'm willing to post!! Endless stories!!

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!

~Traditional hand and weapons forms passed down by Authentic White Tiger monks

~Proven highly effective self-defense and offensive fighting techniques

~Dynamic physical conditioning catered to your fitness level

~Ancient Chinese herbal knowledge not shared with the public

~Tai Chi moving meditation and Chi Kung meditation for overall health, wellbeing, clarity, focus

~Diet advice, fasting advice

~Even business building strategies and so much more

Under the tutelage of the very kind and extremely accomplished Jung Shee Joel Rizzo, Authentic White Tiger Kung Fu is a martial arts school that is second to none and I am forever grateful to be a part of such a wonderful community of positive, motivated, and friendly individuals.

I started training at White Tiger Kung Fu almost two years ago and in that time my life has changed so much that I can't even begin to describe how much more different (and better) of a person I am now.

I originally entered into it thinking it would teach me how to fight and defend myself but it quickly (first day of training, even!) turned into so much more! Training at White Tiger Kung Fu has given me the capacity to focus harder and for longer periods of time, to always know that it doesn't matter how hard things get, I WILL get through it and I WILL do my best, and, above all, it's given me an extraordinary feeling of peace and relaxation just by training there. It's run very efficiently by its (super!) friendly staff and instructors and amazingly generous Sifu who together make up one heck of a family-like environment. Additionally they also provide the option to purchase training liniments which help with the training they dish out on so many levels that I don't think I could contain the description in this text box! They have teas (white, green, black, herbla, artisan, you name it!!), tonics (all of which help promote PHENOMENAL health (take it from me, I haven't had any sort of ailment in almost two years since I started drinking them!), and other training liniments that help ease ANY discomfort or injury!

Everyone finds White Tiger Kung Fu for their own reasons, mine was because I wanted to step outside of my normal comfort zone and start doing something that I've never tried before. I find myself looking forward each day to the training I'll be going through that night and how much I can learn in that amount of time.

Whte Tiger Kung Fu is so exciting/fun/different/awesome! You really have to try it out to understand!
