Authentic Martial Art With Over 400 Years of History.

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.

White Tiger Kung Fu is truly as good as it gets! Not only do I get to stay fit, I get to do it in a clean and safe environment. Students and instructors come from all walks of life, many of which are lead professionals in their respective fields. This makes for lively discussions, dynamic workouts and, at times, entertaining banter. I also really enjoy learning daily, simple practices that promote health- from making organic gingerale, to gardening, to power meditations. However, the primary reason that I have been studying at White Tiger for 5+ years is the supportive community. I am thankful to have friends and mentors who not only challenge me to grow but who also encourage me along the way. I am very excited for the journey ahead!!!

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.
