White Tiger Taekwondo was conceptualized when I was living in Korea as the only Caucasian member of the Korean Tigers Professional Demonstration Team. The fans and the press nicknamed me the †White Tigerâ€. Back in the States, I had been a co-owner of a Martial Arts school near Detroit. My experiences in Korea learning about traditions gave me the idea for a new school, in which I could extract the best of both the Eastern and my own Western culture.
