| Sifu Toutonghi, began his studies in martial arts over 20+ years ago. Having taught abroad in Asia, he took the opportunity to also study Kung Fu under Sifu Yi in Taichung, ROC, as well as instruct in the United States and Canada. David then took the role as the Chief Instructor of Temple Kung Fu Studios from 1998 to 2005. Sifu Toutonghi currently is also the owner of the Kung Fu for Life martial arts studios. He has been teaching Kung Fu now for over 15 years. His philosophy on training Kung Fu draws from a balanced, student-centered approach. "My training method helps each individual student unlock their fullest potential in the art, through achievement of a healthy, fit, and active lifestyle. We adapt the art to you rather than the other way around, so we really do guarantee longevity in this activity." |
