Our Approach
Master Taber, along with her dedicated instructors, works hard to create a fun, supportive, and low-stress learning environment. While we are a competitive studio, we strongly believe that students perform their best—both mentally and physically—when they are confident and not overwhelmed. Mental well-being is just as important to us as physical training.
Our Art: Shaolin Kempo
At Lunging Tiger Karate, we strive to help each student become the best version of themselves while remaining true to the roots of Shaolin Kempo.
Shaolin Kempo blends Chinese and Japanese martial arts, including Kung Fu, Karate, and Kempo, along with elements of Jujutsu, Mongolian wrestling, and Western boxing. It is a practical self-defense system that combines circular and linear movements, powerful strikes, and grappling techniques. Its roots trace back to the Shaolin Temple, with its modern form developed through the integration of multiple self-defense systems.
