Below are the 8 principle beliefs that make up the living philosophy of White Tiger Kung Fu:
- It is better to walk away than to strike
- It is better to strike than to harm
- It is better to harm than to maim
- It is better to maim than to kill
- If the evil intentions of one will not let you pass by in peace, then you must strike with the fury of the tiger
- If that one should persist, you must employ the cunning and wisdom of the dragon
- If that one should still persist, you must employ heaven’s thunder
- Should he fail to yield, you will have but one choice, to separate him from his vessel
