Ito’s White Tiger Kempo Karate Tai Chi Chuan!
ITO’S WHITE TIGER KEMPO KARATE TAI CHI CHUAN is a martial arts school in Novato, CA, that has been offering classes in Marin since 1979. Mr. Ito, our head instructor, began his studies in 1968 in Castro Valley. A decade later, he opened up his family-owned school to focus on training kids and adults how to discipline their mind, body, and spirit.
Our school offers a variety of programs, including Kempo, Karate and Tung Tai Chi Chuan classes. These classes are available to children, moms, and dads of all ages and levels of experience. Additionally, we offer hybrid classes six days a week with flexible hours in person and online using Zoom. White Tiger follows all Marin County Covid-19 safety guidelines for youth and adult indoor activities.
Special introductory and family rates are available to our students to make it even easier for you to afford the helpful training and lessons provided at our school. Call us today for more information about how to take advantage of these offers.

Grandmaster Rene Latosa
4/24/1951-6/4/2022
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our friend and mentor Grandmaster Rene Latosa. The martial arts world has lost a world-class teacher and an exceptional human being.
A master of the Filipino martial arts, Grandmaster Latosa has been studying and teaching worldwide for over 50 years. He is credited with introducing the Filipino martial arts to the European continent.
In 1985, Mr. Ito was introduced to Grandmaster Latosa by mutual friend Master Herb Cody, Senior. Mr. Ito feels very blessed and fortunate to have met and studied with Grandmaster Latosa and many of Grandmaster Latosa’s teachings and principles can be found in the White Tiger weapons curriculum to this day.
Contact us to sign up for one of our Kempo, Karate or Tai Chi Chuan classes for kids or adults. GIFT CERTIFICATES AVAILABLE.

With a feeling of community, the classes are fun, encouraging, but always a challenge. The results for me has been increased flexibility, strength and most important, balance.
