Tai chi in Sorrento Valley

Tai chi in kung fu

Tai chi has earned its place as an inseparable component of authentic Kung Fu classes. In the pursuit of mastering martial arts, practitioners delve into the art of tai chi to cultivate their internal power and refine their movements. Tai chi's slow and deliberate sequences serve as a perfect counterbalance to the high-intensity techniques of Kung Fu. This integration is especially valuable for seniors who find tai chi classes to be a safe and effective means of maintaining their mobility, promoting longevity, and fostering a sense of inner peace.

Why Tai Chi?

Tai chi is a treasure trove of benefits for beginners. This ancient martial art form combines slow, deliberate movements with deep breathing techniques, promoting improved physical and mental well-being. For beginners, tai chi is a gentle and effective way to increase flexibility, enhance joint mobility, and strengthen muscles. It's also a fantastic stress-reliever, offering beginners an opportunity to find inner peace amidst their busy lives. With its accessible nature and relaxing qualities, tai chi stands as an empowering practice for those just starting their journey towards a healthier and happier lifestyle.

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 at White Tiger since 2010. I started my Martial Arts path as a "weakling," who was dependent on medication to keep my heart palpitations in check. I appreciated the patience and understanding of all the instructors to allow me to progress at my own pace. There was no judgment and no pressure. Just compassion and encouragement. Fast forward to 2018 when I reached a point where I was no longer dependent on medication, could literally run laps around the school, and earned my Black Belt. Today, I'm a 4th-degree black belt and help others grow and thrive, just as the instructors who came before me. Sifu Joel, the owner, and Master of the White Tiger System is my biggest supporter, sharing knowledge in the Scholar's Way of Martial Arts. He doesn't just teach us to kick and punch. We learn about meditations and Ancient Chinese Herbal knowledge. We also learn vital life skills such as clean eating, cooking, finances and so much more.

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 has filled a need in my life I didn't even know I had! I've never done any type of martial art before but when I signed my kids up, I decided to sign myself up too! Everyone is so encouraging and kind. Every time I leave it's having done a great workout and with a smile on my face! Highly recommend!!
