About The System
The White Tiger Martial Arts System was established in 1992 by Charles
Buckner. It is a "Hybrid Karate Style" based primarily on Kenpo Karate,
Aikido and Jujutsu. Together with several talented instructors, Charles
Buckner has been developing and 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 defense. White Tiger
draws influence from all of the following styles:
Shotokan Karate
Kung Fu
Tae Kwon Do
Chinese Kempo Karate
Judo
Krav Maga
Jujitsu
Aikido
Tai Chi Chuan
****We do not charge for testing or promotions.
****For what we offer, our class and membership fees are modest compared
to other schools in our area and across the country. We believe in these
martial arts business attributes strongly.

Courtesies and Traditions of Respect
Before we get to these courtesies, it seems prudent to be clear about “traditions of
respect” and “religious worship”.
We know there is a line between the spiritual side of our arts and religious devotion, but
the only one who can truly know the devotion of the heart and mind is the individual
karateka or karate practitioner themselves. Although there are loose similarities, there
should be no mistake, our dojo and our methods are not religious in nature. Envy
and the worship of another person is detrimental to self esteem and almost always results
in disappointment.
That being said, we can move along.
I know that some of this information can be a little confusing so I will attempt to keep
this as simple as possible while still clarifying things when it seems necessary.
The past and our responsibility to the future:
For hundreds of years martial techniques were taught in secret to the select few chosen in
temples or passed down to specific family members. This was often due to those being
chosen having demonstrated a certain level of character. When I opened White Tiger to
the public, it was to teach the system and the honor. Out in the world today there are
plenty of people who believe that respect and manners in kids and in many adults, can be
hard to find. And, while we do not necessarily consider ourselves to be “champions” of
honor and good manners, we have an obligation to teach our students martial ethics.
The Dojo:
This is the place of “the way” or training hall. More specifically it is the area or space
that has been designated as the “main floor”. During classes, all who cross the
threshold of the main floor must bow and pay respect. Why? Students and instructors
train for hundreds to thousands of hours in the dojo. They sweat and even bleed here.
They face triumph and frustration alike. Comradery is developed in the pursuit of
paving the way for the future of the system as each person achieves their own goals with
hard work, sacrifice and passion. We bow upon entering and leaving to pay respect to
all of these things.
NOTE: If the dojo is not open or there is no class in session, this courtesy may be waived
by the instructor in charge.
6
The four walls:
In some dojo, each wall has a name and a purpose. White Tiger only requires the
recognition of two walls in the dojo. These are the Kamiza (top seat) and Shimoza
(lower seat). Whenever possible, the wall designated as the Kamiza should be on the far
side away from the main entrance to the dojo. This is the place reserved for the highest
ranks and special guests. Opposite the Kamiza is the Shimoza where students line up.
The Shimoza is also designated as the place to go when you need to adjust or fix your gi
or belt whenever possible. When it is not practical to do so, face one of the side walls
and only face the Kamiza to tie your belt for a promotion. The primary purpose for
these designations is that in the event the dojo is attacked, the enemy must fight their way
through and possibly be injured and taxed of physical energy by the time they reach the
Kamiza. Along with this tradition is that any challenge made against the chief instructor
is met first by all able bodied students from the lowest rank up.
NOTE: The Kamiza should not be confused with the Japanese word for a Shinto shrine
“Kamidana” which can be found in some of the strictest traditional dojo.
Courtesy bow, salute and hand shake:
- Exchanged only between Kaiso Sensei and members of White Tiger.
NOTE: Instructors and senior students are responsible for making sure that this courtesy
is the FIRST and LAST order of business at the dojo, a tournament, the grocery store or
on the moon, at all times for all students.
Courtesy bow and salute:
- Bowing in and out of class (with Seiza)
- Entering and leaving the dojo main floor
- Between student and instructor for thank you or apology. In most exchanges the
student initiates the courtesy.
- Between “uke” or practice partners.
Any time the phrase “keo sket sensei rae” is announced for the recognized presence of a
black belt that has entered the dojo – NOTE: This courtesy is given only when the black
belt who enters the dojo out ranks ALL other instructors on the main floor at that
moment.
Seiza:
-At the beginning and end of class
-For promotions
-If you are late to class, bow into the dojo and sit in a Seiza position inside and to one
side of the entrance (do not bow) and wait to be invited to class.

Tournaments and Testing:
When in a competition ring at a tournament or you are being formally tested by your
instructor, White Tiger students are required to follow this guideline:
Your name is announced.
Stand and reply with a loud “Hai”
Turn away, adjust gi, synch your belt knot.
Find the center of the line at the back of the ring.
Bow and pay respect.
Walk or run to the front of the ring and stop at least 3.5 to 4 feet from the judges.
Bow, pay respect and present yourself.
In an authoritative and clear voice, give your name, school, instructor’s name, what you
are going to perform (for testing, you would announce what rank you are testing for and
be examined from that point on) and ask permission to begin.
Bow and pay respect.
Find the spot in the ring to begin your performance.
Bow and pay respect.
Begin your performance.
At the end of your performance, bow and pay respect.
Return to the same place you presented yourself to the judges.
Bow, pay respect and present yourself.
While you are scored – I recommend you do not look at the score.
When you are released from the ring, bow, and pay respect and thank the judges.
Walk backwards to where you entered the ring.
Bow and pay respect.
NOTE: If you have a uke (helping demonstrate self defense for example) they should
stand behind and to the left or right of you when you present yourself. So your uke does
not distract the judges, they should not make eye contact with the judges.
Final Note:
Most of us know that it is not all about passing down traditions. And when you consider
that your instructor is teaching you things that will improve your life and possibly even
save your life someday, is it really such a stretch to understand the “why”?
My days at Red Dragon taught me a lot and indeed helped me to stand out as a Karateka
both at Red Dragon and in Kara-Ho Kempo:
“See each student in the forest.”

Protect instructors or designate someone to do so
Safe instructor = more training and knowledge for everyone.
Make sure our instructors are treated well
Happy instructor = happy students.
Take ownership
When you train, it should be with a sense of importance and urgency. You must choose
to be a skilled and humble 7th, 8th, 9th Dan or perhaps Grand Master someday now, not
later. No matter how far you get, you and those under you will benefit from it.

your instructor before competing in a martial arts event such as tournaments for guidance.

Dojo Principles
1. “Grow in the martial arts and in life.” Do this by continuously learning, setting
goals, creating a plan, working hard, staying focused and being supportive of loved ones
and your dojo.
2. “Defend my honor and my principles.” Defend yourself, your loved ones and your
country. Martial arts tournaments and demonstrations are things we participate in to
promote our art. This should not be confused with “revealing our art” which actually
means to defend ourselves or others with force when necessary. Never allow your dojo
or your instructor to be disrespected or harmed in any way.
3. “Never wash my belt or let it touch the floor.” Your belt is a symbol of many
things that include your knowledge, your hard work and the level of rank recognition you
have achieved. Always face away from the front of the dojo and away from other
people when you put your belt on or adjust it. Respect the symbols of your effort.
4. “Bow” Bow when entering and leaving the dojo. If you are late for class, bow into
the dojo and kneel inside and to the right of the entrance. Make a “seiza” bow and wait
to be invited to join the class. Always bow when the highest ranked black belt enters the
main floor of the dojo. Demonstrate your appreciation and respect for their knowledge,
history and skill.
5. “Punctual and Enthusiastic” Tardiness, absenteeism, non-payment or late payment
and minimum effort are signs of disrespect whether you mean it to be or not. Obviously
schedules change or things come up that are out of our control. The wise know that
anything worth doing is worth doing well without excuses or laziness.
6. “Clean and safe” When you attend class or any martial arts function, you should be
hygienically clean and your uniform should be clean and unwrinkled. A plain wedding
band is an acceptable piece of but necklaces, watches, and any type of body piercing can
be dangerous for you as well as those training with you. In some cases a band aid may
be placed over a piercing and you should check with your instructor about this. Do not
touch weapons in the dojo you have been trained to use or that belong to someone else
without their permission.
7. “Salute” (acknowledge) Students will use the proper greeting inside and outside the
dojo regardless of rank, age, gender or any other classification. Instructors of black belt
rank are addressed as “Sensei” and their first name inside and outside the dojo at all times.
Senior students who are given the title of “Sempai” will be addressed the same way.
Black belts should be greeted by offering the right hand with the left hand placed under
your right wirst with your palm facing down for the handshake. When greeting Kaiso
Sensei Charles Buckner; bow, pay respect, and then the handshake. NOTE: We refer to
Sensei Charles Buckner simply as “Kaiso.”
11
8. “Respect” Don’t interrupt an instructor who is speaking. Always pay attention in
class and stay focused on what you are doing. Never lean against walls, sit down
(unless instructed to do so) or slouch during class. Small talk and horseplay are not
acceptable or productive during class. You should not be preoccupied with age or
gender when a student above you in rank is teaching you something. Be helpful and
respect those around you at all times. No shoes, food, gum, candy or drinks (other than
water) are allowed on the dojo floor without permission from the instructor. There is no
spitting, cursing or any other disrespectful gestures allowed inside or around the dojo.
You should check with your instructor before participating in martial arts functions
outside of your own dojo.
9. “Communicate” Schedule changes, special events and questions or concerns are a
few of the reasons to maintain good communication with your instructor at all times.
10. “Practice” Create and stick to a regular schedule you can use at home that is
realistic and easy to follow. This will ensure that your skills improve and training
classes will serve their purpose which is to teach you more to practice.
As a martial artist, wherever you go, your art is with you. Show humility and self
respect and people will be drawn to respect you. Serve your dojo and instructors with
loyalty, honor, and integrity out of respect for those who have trained in the past, train
today and those who will train under you in the future. Never allow despair or obstacles
to stop you from achieving your goals. The only limits you have are the ones you create
for yourself. Always remember, the only failure is in quitting.
