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, and 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.

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.

This is a review from my 7-year-old son Aaron. "I like Kung Fu because I get to learn how to fight and defend myself if I ever need to. I like how they teach me because it is fun! I like how they teach me to encourage myself. Kung Fu is awesome! I always enjoy myself!"

It's true, this place is amazing!!! My wife and I have been students there for over 6 years. I truly enjoy the fun and positive atmosphere made up of the students and staff. We get a fantastic workout (both body and mind) that's safe and professionally taught. FYI, the school has been known to dismiss students that threaten the harmony and safety of others; this is a good thing, I'm glad that our safety is such a high priority- THANK YOU, Sifu Joel 🙂 Another wonderful point which came only through the years of experience is that the curriculum is authentic. This is extremely important these days with so many schools and gyms teaching made-up martial arts/self-defense programs from teachers that are self-proclaimed masters. That's like hiring a bum off the street to teach you how to be a millionaire. So do yourself a favor, check any place out for yourself, you be the judge. As for me and my wife- we love White Tiger Kung Fu and feel privileged to be a part of something great!
