Master Cummings

Master William O. Cummings, who is known as Sensei by thousands of people in the Morgantown area, has been teaching Martial Arts in Morgantown since 1980 and started studying martial arts in the early 1960’s.

“I have been fortunate enough to get to study with many of the best Martial Artists available like Glenn Premru, Sam Pearson, Daniel Pai, John Hamilton, Tom Turcotte, Ted Volrath, Gene Thorner, Roriko Masatani, ‘Xiomin Jin, Toni Farrell. What a wonderful education in Martial Arts ‘I received from this diverse group. With over 40 years dedicated to ‘ the study of the Martial Arts I was able to blend Karate, Kung-Fu, Judo, and Aikido into one of the most comprehensive systems to be found, one that was internationally recognized by the Okinawan Karate Federation. I have found that I have come to many of the same conclusions as Miyamoto Musashi, “You must study the ways of all professions to learn the true way,” and by Bruce Lee who also developed his own system from the study of many. I pride myself in keeping the old traditions alive while taking advantage of modern equipment at the same time. I still look at Martial Arts Training as the tool we use for self improvement; confident people with active minds, good self esteem who have learned how to achieve goals through hard work and perseverance develop leaders that you can be proud of.”

“At White Eagle we have a written curriculum, experienced instructors a top of the line facility. Rank is not given freely, it is earned, that’s why our proud group of students holds their heads up high when they say “I am what I am because I choose to be. I am an Eagle by choice …”
