White Lotus Kung Fu Studio

I’ve been to several schools and systems in my life, but I’ve never felt more at home than I do at White Lotus. The teachers and my fellow students are like my second family. This is a real martial arts school where the true value of what you learn comes not from your rank, but from your dedication and respect for the community at White Lotus and the art itself. If you want to experience the richness, the spirituality, and the discipline the true martial arts have to offer, this is the place.

I attended this studio approx. 20 years ago when I lived in the San Fernando Valley. I can only say they were/​are EXCELLENT AND EXCEPTIONAL. As a overweight woman who thought I couldn’t– they told me I could and worked with me. Unfortunately I gave up on myself before they gave up on me. I now have children and wish I was closer to the area to have my children train there. The staff Master Wong and his wife Carrie are fantastic as well as Sifu Phil and Tom. When I came the children were little son approx. 6 and daughter was approx. 2 and she was already doing push ups. This place is amazing and I highly recommend it to everyone wanting to learn.’

Came here for open gym for $ 5. Heavy bags and lots of space. Mainly came here to hit the heavy bags. Only issue I have with this place is the heavy bag area. Wish there was more room to circle around the heavy bags. Other than that, great staff and ample parking. Definitely coming back again.

I was taken here one night during open gym by a friend who does stunt work. Fantastic gym with a variety of equipment you won’t find just anywhere else. My first impression of this place is very positive, it’s like a giant playground for ninjas! ;)
It might be a little intimidating at the beginning, with everyone flipping and flying everywhere but there is so much room to move around it’s crazy liberating. First I worked on my punches, nice how they have little doughnuts around the punching bags for uppercuts. Then watched some of the guys do some freerunning, the moves they do are so sick! The fact that they are 6-​pack fit with no shirts on has absolutely NOTHING to do with my staring *ahem* observance. =p
It seems like most of the people here are courteous and friendly a few Bboys even taught me some moves. I learned some basic top rock, up rock, 6 step and baby freeze. The wall of mirrors help with self-​adjustment of poses and let me know how goofy I look with my arm wave. =)
At the end I tried out the spring floor, jumped on the various mats they have and flopped about on the trampoline. The only gymnastic move I could do is an awkward cartwheel to my right. My uncoordinated jumps across the large blocks were landed with heavy face plants and belly-​flops. The large trampoline was thrilling with how easy it was to catch so much air. I didn’t even try out the scaffolding they set up because my most recent attempt at a pull-​up just had me hanging with my feel dangling for a few seconds. o_​O;
Despite all my shortcomings as an athlete, working out at White Lotus was pure fun and had me laughing and grinning like a kid in a candy store. I have to say the $ 5 fee for open gym was well spent, you can’t even buy a bag of popcorn at the movies for that price.
Funniest use of White Lotus:

White Lotus was a big part of my life. This place is just awesome. Thank you Sifu Wong. Much respect.

The fact that I’m willing to drive 45 minutes to this place in the morning twice a week should say a lot about it already. Out of all the martial arts gyms in Southern California, I don’t think there is one that makes the most out of its space like White Lotus does. Whether you train for combat, sport, or for performance, White Lotus has something for you in its spacious open training area, sporting several heavy bags for bag work, a large spring floor for tricks and tumbling, a trampoline and mini tramps, weapons, pads and focus mitts, and mats and foam pits along with other equipment for parkour and freerunning. Along with a wide variety of different martial arts classes, the main attraction is the open gym hours which are run during the mornings and evenings which are an affordable $ 5 for 3 hours. During these hours, several experienced stuntmen and freerunners are always there training. Everyone for the most part is friendly and willing to help each other, making out for a very productive training environment.

I try to drive 60 miles once a month to work out or train at this place. It’s such a fun place. Most of the time I end up playing around with Parkour/​freerunning equipment. Other times I sit and watch B-​Boys & Girls practice there routines! If I’m there early enough I“ll watch their Tai-​Chi/​Kung Fu class before I do my workout.
I love their open floor and the line of heavy bags! There’s enough space to do everything I want. I start off with a 10 min. jumprope, 10 – 15 mins. of shadow boxing, then about 1hr. of hitting the heavy bags, if i have a partner some grappling or escrima (stick) sparring. Then the fun begins if I’m not too tireed. Sping floor, trampoline, a wall run and foam obstacle & pad for flips & trix! plus, kewl energetic music is always playin’ to help keep you goin!!!
