He has also studied extensively under former Tianjin Wushu team coach, Liu Jinju and is competent in several styles of boxing including; Zui Quan, Nan Quan and Tongbei.

David successfully represented the Australian Tanglang Quan She team at the China, Qingdao International Wushu Championships in 2000, achieving 4th place ranking in Mantis Boxing. He has since gone on the win bronze, silver and gold medals in Australian national martial arts championships and gold at the 2012 Qingdao Wushu Championships.
