WHITE TIGER FITNESS CENTER
Due to Covid-19 we had to close our school for the safety of others and in compliance with our Governors order. Bill Moy and Jim Durkin have applied for many loans and grants to help with rent and operating cost to no avail. With no funds being collected for the past 3 months we are struggling to stay in business!
Grand Master Tom Saviano had built this school in 1981. It started in his garage with a group of neighborhood children and quickly grew. He than needed more space so he started sharing a school with his teacher Grand Master John McSweeny in Elmhurst, Illinois. As time went by the student enrollment grew again. Grand Master Tom Saviano moved the school one last time to our current location in Addison, Illinois in 1994. He grew and kept a very successful kenpo school that has awarded 70 black belts to date and hopefully more to come!
In December of 2018 Grand Master Tom Saviano retired and made the difficult decision to turn over his school to Bill Moy and Jim Durkin both 6th degree black belts. They have each been training in our school since the late 80's. Both serve on the schools review board and participate in scoring all rank testing. As owners their goal is to continue supporting the community by providing a safe and clean environment for all to enjoy.
We are a small kenpo karate school that also teaches yoga, fitness, boxing, and women’s self defense. At our school you will learn self confidence, discipline, respect for others, improve self esteem, make friends, and have fun all while learning self defense! Our classes include men , women and children. We are more than just friends at our school, we are a big family! What I have learned over the years is that family isn't always by blood, but also those who have your back in a time of need . From the moment you walk in the door, you're a part of our family!
So with that in mind any amount would be greatly appreciated!!! I would hate to see our school and students fall victim to this virus!!! Now we all need to come together during this time and help out the school!!! We owe it to Grand Master Saviano and those we train to carry on the school’s legacy for generations to come!!!
With a $50.00 donation you may choose either a White Tiger Fitness t-shirt or 1 trial self defense class.
