WHITE TIGER
KOREAN MARTIAL ARTS ACADEMY
At White Tiger, we don't care about tournaments, trophies, or winning competitions. We occasionally attend tournaments as a means to test our skills against people we don't know.
We focus on self-defense and self-improvement, developing ourselves both physically and mentally, to thrive in a challenging world. As a wise old Korean master once told me, "I can show you the road, but I can't walk it for you." But we will be glad to show you what we have learned, help you to understand it, and learn it both physically and mentally. Perhaps that will help you on your path to your own excellence.
White Tiger Korean Martial Arts Academy is a member school of the United States Korean Martial Arts Federation. To learn more about the USKMAF, visit their website at www.hapkido.com.
We regularly travel to Jackson, MS for semi-annual training. Annual Tae Kwon Do seminars in Carbondale, CO are also a wonderful training opportunity.
