I have had the pleasure of training with Mr. Thong Nguyen both as part of a group and on an individual basis. Mr. Nguyen’s extensive martial arts background combined with his other athletic pursuits (dance, cycling, rock climbing) creates a unique learning environment that is safe, informative and fun. Classes are a mixture of drills, conditioning, demonstrations and discussions that cover the gamut of combative ranges and situations: ground work, stand-up, weapons, personal safety, mobility, fluidity, breathing and release of tension and fear.
You have arrived at the home for those seeking inspiration, compassion, integrity and truth. My relationship with Thong goes back to Systema in 2005 where by fate, we met at a week-long Russian Martial Arts camp in Ontario, Canada. The single greatest outcome of this camp was a friendship that is nearing ten years and through it all, I’ve had the privilege of seeing a commitment, KaizenTao, where the practitioners are not in search of the next best secret technique but, the Truth!
After 20+ years involved in the Martial arts world, I now know how many practitioners must have felt, when they discovered JKD concepts. As a dentist, KaizenTao philosophy guides me as a professional and as human being, it has allowed me to discover and face some of the realities that I had been evading until now. It’s only then that I can be free!
