TKDT School of the Month
White Tiger
October
White Tiger is located in Cary, North Carolina.
This custom designed facility offers four training
rooms: the Phoenix, Tiger, Tortoise and the
Dragon dojangs. The facility is also equipped with
a full weight room, tanning, suspended running
track, supervised childcare center with a 20-foot
spiral slide, rock climbing wall, cargo nets, zip-line
and flipping harness. The locker rooms are complete
with showers and cedar saunas. The school
was designed utilizing the principles of Feng Shui.
The calming Zen sand garden tops the hectic
office, while the 30-foot bamboo garden is surrounded
by the Koi Pond Cafe in the heart of the
school. Spectators enjoy stadium seating, surround
sound, Wi-Fi and closed circuit TV. The Masters’
lounge includes an outdoor grilling station and the
spacious patio overlooks to the wooded lot leading
to the creek below. There are indoor and outdoor
jacuzzis and a sun room with a projection theater.
The facility was designed and is owned and
operated by Master Rondy. She uses her former
Korean Tiger Professional Team experience to
continuously recruit Korean Team members for
instruction blended with American management
styles.
In addition to a wide variety of classes, White
Tiger students are involved with various teams
including the Leadership Team, Management
Team, Counselor Team (for camps and children’s
activities), the Redman Team (adrenaline stress
response training), Demonstration Team, Elite
Competition Team (national and international levels)
and the Community Care Team which raises
thousands of dollars for charitable causes.
