Preserving the Living Traditions of Chinese Culture, Philosophy & Martial Arts
為學日益，為道日損。
"In pursuit of learning, every day something is acquired. In pursuit of Tao, every day something is dropped."
— Laozi, Tao Te Ching · Chapter 48
Our Purpose
Rooted in Tradition. Open to All.
The White Tiger Association is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation and living transmission of traditional Chinese culture — its philosophy, spiritual traditions, martial arts, and healing arts.
Grounded in the Daoist and Buddhist lineages that have shaped Chinese civilization for millennia, we offer education, community programs, and direct practice to students, scholars, and seekers of all backgrounds in San Diego and beyond.
We believe these traditions are not relics of the past, but living wisdom — as vital and necessary today as they have ever been.

From the Tradition
知人者智，自知者明。勝人者有力，自勝者強。
