Master Daniel Tomizaki |
Master Tomizaki was born and raised in Brazil. He started practicing kung fu in 1980 studying Seven Star Praying Mantis and Eagle Claw. In 1989, he relocated to the USA where he started learning Choy Lay Fut. He became a sifu in 1997. He is also a black belt in Shuai Chiao. Master Tomizaki introduced the Choy Lay Fut style to Brazil in 1992. He is also the co-founder of the International Traditional Kung Fu Association, with his long time friend and partner, Master Marco Serra of Brazil.
During his competition years, Master Tomizaki accumulated numerous awards, including 8 Grand Champion titles and 4 STAR International Grand Champion. He was also trained by the Center for Human Development to teach middle schoolers, drug and alcohol facts, dealing with pressure and tobacco. He volunteered his time at Foothill Middle School and Walnut Creek Intermediate. Although a lifelong practitioner of kung fu, he has played other sports, such as soccer, European handball, swimming, table tennis, track and field events, volleyball, basketball and gymnastics. His desire to improve himself, to be an “all around grand champion” in every area of his life and to be the best example for his students is always evident. |
