Founder of the BKFTC Institute, born in Taipei Taiwan, Li came to Boston as a fourteen year old immigrant. He soon took up Kung Fu, and after only a few months he knew it was his calling to be a fulltime participant.

For over a decade he studied a Northern praying mantis system of Kung Fu. He later made several trips to China to pursue higher learning under the guidance of some of China's best Wu Shu coaches. Sifu Li won several National martial arts championships when he competed in tournaments in the early 1980's.

One of his most memorable moments from tournament participation was when he was representing Massachusetts for the A.A.U. National Karate Championship. His name was not included on the list of competitors because he was the only Kungfu competitor in an all Karate tournament. After finally being admitted to the tournament he was listed as the 50th competitor, the last on the list after all the other 49 states, none the less his martial skills so impressed the crowd, the judges, and his fellow competitors that not only did the crowd give him a standing ovation, he also took first place and became the National Champion. Li laughs when telling the story, he says, "It sounds like something that could only happen in the movies."

Li now dedicates himself to his teaching and is continuously breaking down barriers to develop the most effective teaching method for his students. He is happy to be in Boston and very proud of his 6000 square foot studio with his partners Dorri Li and Joshua Grant. His career in martial arts is a dream come true and Li attributes his success to hard work, patience, belief in himself and an openminded policy. The flexibility of using different teaching styles has been effective in training Boston Celtic stars Robert Parish and Rick Fox and World Kung Fu form Champion Richard Branden and Christine Bannon.

For two decades Li has shared his talents as a teacher, performer and competitor with many thousands of people.
