And there were terrifying scenes when a suspect ran past Secret Service agents and opened fire.
Cole Tomas Allen, 31, is facing firearms and assault charges after being arrested following the shooting.
But White gave a stunning response when he was asked whether he was in fear.
The martial arts supremo said: “It started getting noisy, tables getting flipped over, guys running in with guns.

“They were screaming ‘Get down!’ I didn’t get down. It was f***ing awesome.
“I literally took every minute of it in and it was a pretty crazy, unique experience.
“We were sitting right in front of the table where the president was.
“Nobody got tackled, but guys came in looking for shooters. They came towards our table. I thought the shooter was over by us or something.”

White was spotted casually remaining in his seat while influential figures were escorted to safety.
He was also seen laughing and talking to others still in the room just moments after the ordeal.
President Donald Trump, who was rushed out of the Washington Hilton alongside wife Melania, posted a chilling video to Truth Social appearing to show the suspect charging the security at the event.
Other guests fearing the worst scrambled to hide under tables for cover until they were given the green light to leave.
White announced the traditional pre-fight protocol will be broken for the historic White House card on June 14 as the national anthem will be played.
