Hi and welcome !
My name is Maoni Latouille. I'm a Kung Fu passionate, popular youtuber (100k+ subscribers), entreprenor, athlete, educator, traveler, and the founder of kung fu horizon.
I'm literally born into the martial art world.
My both parent being kung fu and tai chi instructors, I learned how to stand in a proper horse stance before knowing how to walk !
From then to my 18's, my father trained me everyday, either I agreed or not ;)
After I finished school, I immediately took a plane to San Francisco, to study deeply my Hung Gar (tiger and crane) Kung Fu with Y.C. Wong, a worldwide known teacher.
So when I came back to France, I entered a sport educator's schools. After one year of studies, I finnaly get my diploma and I'm now happy to meet all others Kung Fu practicioners, to learn from them and share my thougs with us.
Then, I discovered 'The Karate Nerd', a popular blog made by Jesse Enkamp, a passionate karate-ka, to share his karate thougs around the world and 'elevate the global consciousness of karate'.
I found his videos, vlogs and article fascinating, and realised that there was no equivalent about Kung Fu, in the whole world.
Kung Fu, or Wushu, in today's world, is a really misunderstood and scattered style of
martial art. For most, it's more of a dance with acrobatics jumps in flashy uniforms.
For others, it's a mystic tradition from Shaolin, where people strenghten their bodies
by smashing rocks all days. And that's due to what media and popular influencers show.
Since none of that tend to be close to the real definition of Kung Fu, I started this blog, at the same time as my youtube channel and facebook account, to bound togethers those who seek real, tradition-rooted kung fu, onto the actual world.
I took that as my life's mission.
I hope this website can help everybody who is curious about Kung Fu in anyway, wether it's about history, legends, teachers, or technical stuff.
Througout the years, my passion for martial arts in general and kung fu especially has grown always more.
Now, I'm happy to share with you what it has of most wonderful, knowing that there is always more and better to come.
Make sure to check my youtube channel and facebook page for regular updates !
Sincerely,
Maoni
