White Tiger Schools
White Tiger Kung Fu (also known as Bak Fu Pai) is one of the original Shaolin Temple styles. Developed in a time when techniques had to be effective, this martial art is a relevant today as it was back then. White Tiger is a no frills style that incorporates all aspects of a combat system and preserves the health knowledge of Shaolin such as Chinese herbs and qigong.
Ryan has been studying White Tiger style for seven years. He credits White Tiger with building his character, his confidence and his role of “Mike” in Supah Ninjas.
