Mario McKenna is the only Tou'on (toon) Ryu instructor in North America. He lives in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Tou'on Ryu was created by its founder, who was a student of Kanryo Hiagonna. Hiagonna's teachings were also the founding of Goju Ryu.
The systems are similar yet different. the following videos show a few of those differences.
