Each student is treated individually and we strive to attain a strong respectful bond that will last for years. We provide a variety of different classes in which our instructors have spent years studying and practicing and continue to learn on a weekly basis. It is our goal to allow our students at White Tigers to enjoy the wonders of the Martial Arts by instilling the ethics, the physical conditioning, and the benefits the this lifestyle has to offer. Although martial arts may be a way to get fit, gain confidence, or learn how to defend yourself, in the end a martial artist is born and an enriched way of life is instilled. This is the best investment in yourself that you can ever make. Make the choice now to be the best you can be.
1. Structured classes
We recognize that different people are interested in different facets of Martial Arts. Therefore, our approach is to provide specialized classes that address the various aspects of the arts. Students develop their training regimen based on their interests and preference. They get a sound foundation in the fundamentals of the art, while being encouraged to explore and determine the special areas of martial arts they wish to focus on. A good example of this approach is the way we conduct sparring classes at our school. We offer three types of sparring classes which appeal to students with varying interests and needs:
Light Sparring: These sessions are quite light, designed to increase the student’s endurance and speed without involving hard physical contact. Everyone is well padded with protective equipment, and no contact to the face is allowed.
Competition Sparring: This is full contact sparring, which permits contact to various targets of the body that corresponds to the rules of competition. Students who participate in these classes are interested in competing in tournaments. The classes are augmented with endurance training sessions to help competitors reach and maintain their best physical condition. The experienced competitors in this group compete about once per month in major tournaments around the country.
Integrated Sparring: The aim of this class is to develop one’s ability to use the full range of techniques taught at our school. Students who are interested in practical use and self-defense love this class, as they are tested against various types of attacks. It is like a laboratory for exploring and experimenting with self defense applications. A simple way to explain integrated sparring class is that it is a “no rules” environment. However, the sessions are strictly supervised and controlled to ensure everyone’s safety. We want to keep this a fun learning experience where both men and women develop skill and confidence.
2. Variety of classes
We understand that life is quite hectic, and that it is not always easy to get away for a workout. That’s why we offer many classes throughout the day, six days a week – over 30 classes per week. Some students may opt to do our unlimited program where they can attend as many classes they wish to a week.

3. Professional Instruction - Our world class instructors are certified and have a minimum of 10 years of martial arts experience both in teaching and in competition. Through the years, they have attained the ability to provide proper explanations of techniques with the ability to demonstrate and execute. Patience and motivation are a key factor in the developement of our students and the instructors at White Tigers understand the variety of limitations our students may have, but will strive to help overcome those barriers. The cultivation of a healthy body and a healthy mind go hand in hand. We believe in the balanced development of our students. Physically, this means exercising all of the muscles and strengthening the body systematically, both internally and externally. Mentally, this means developing self-control and self-discipline on a path to achieving inner harmony. The end result is an improvement in the quality of life, both physically and mentally, for Martial Arts practitioners.
Martial Arts, when practiced regularly and properly, helps individuals to maintain fitness and general physical wellbeing. However, we do not view it as a way of treating illnesses or diseases. Our aim is to impart wellness in our students by showing them how to prevent illness, by maintaining a fit and able body and mind that are better able to cope with the stresses and strains of daily life.
Our approach to attaining this benefit is through active participation and experience in physical training, rather than through verbal discussions. It is through the experiential, not the hypothetical, that we attain physical fitness. This is true of any well-structured physical-fitness or athletic endeavor.
