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.

On my first day of training at White Tiger Kung Fu I fell in love with the place, by the second day I was addicted and couldn't get enough. It was everything I was looking for in a martial arts school. I've been training there almost every day for 7 years and I'm still learning new things. Between the kung fu forms, folklore herbal knowledge, meditation's and philosophy there is enough material to keep someone learning for decades!

The best part is how friendly all the people are at White Tiger. It's a great school for people and familes that have always wanted to learn a martial arts without having to deal with "meat heads".

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.

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!
