Sifu Dan Walls

 Sifu Dan is the director and chief instructor at Kung Fu Ottawa. He has been practicing martial arts, specifically Choy Lee Fut Kung Fu, Lohan Qigong and Tai Chi for over 25 years. He is a Leopard Disciple of Master Chen Yong Fa.
 

Sifu Dan has trained with many Kung Fu brothers and sisters over the years. During that time, he has had the honor and privilege of training directly under Grand Master Chen Yong Fa and alongside the Grand Masters other disciples. He was also fortunate enough to visit King Mui village in China's Guangdong Province, the birthplace of Choy Lee Fut and where the Ancestral School is located.

Sifu Dan has competed locally as well as internationally and has won numerous awards.

His training began under the tutelage of Sifu Sergio Arione with Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan and Chan Family Choy Lee Fut Kung Fu. While still training Tai Chi, his main focus became Kung Fu. He was driven from the start to train as hard and as often as possible. Since then he has continued to follow the teachings of Grand Master Chen Yong Fa, who is a fifth generation direct descendant of Choy Lee Fut's founder Chan Heung

Sifu Sergio urged Sifu Dan to start teaching, but he was reluctant at first. Trusting in his own abilities, Sifu Dan began to teach anyway. He realized almost instantly that this was his true calling, and that he wanted to share this art and to mentor others as Sifu Sergio had done for him

Over time, and through hard work and dedication, Dan became certified to teach the Chan Family Choy Lee Fut system under Grandmaster Chen Yong Fa, the current custodian of the system.
 

Sifu Dan now resides in Ottawa and is on a new journey, to share the wonderful art that has been his passion and which has brought him so much in life.
