Tai chi in Rancho Penasquitos

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.

The students and the instructors, to be honest, are some of the most positive people I have ever met. Perhaps it's because of the style they practice - southern Chinese kung fu - but despite being the newbie, they went out of their way to make me feel welcome and were quite patient with me - a major difference from the escrima classes I had taken several months prior set up by meetup.com. Never before had I seen a studio void of students with no egos; the higher ranking students helped out the lower ones without them feeling like the instruction was beneath them. The energy in the room was so positive - not even in my old system did I feel something like it.

My daughter, age 6, just finished her first virtual kung fu class. I was very impressed with the staff and their patience and commitment with the children. My daughter really enjoyed it and looked forward to every class. I was very impressed with Ms. Vi. She kept in touch with us and made sure my daughter was comfortable and answered any questions she had.
