A notable aspect of David's journey is his thirst for knowledge and the way he seeks to refine his craft. Beyond the dojo, he pursued masterclass sessions with Sifu Adam Chan, a testament to his commitment to constant improvement.
However, David's approach to martial arts goes beyond technique. Rooted in principles of respect and humility, he sees martial arts as not only a physical discipline, but also a mirror for self-discovery and personal growth. With an altruistic spirit, David is determined to share his insights and help others uncover their own potential through these ancient traditions.
