The White Tiger Martial Arts Association was established in 1992 by Charles Buckner. We teach a form of Kempo Karate created and developed in the United States. Together with several talented instructors, Charles Buckner has been teaching this style of martial arts and self defense to children and adults from all walks of life. Our style utilizes eclectic forms and technical requirements for rank advancement, sport competition and practical self protection/defense. White Tiger draws influence from all of the following styles:
