I started following and stalking Thong online after attending a Systema seminar and seeing some videos of him. I immediately knew there was something different about his demeanor and his movement. As I saw more of his videos what prompted me to reach out to him was how well his students were performing various tasks he challenged them with (strikes, rolls etc). To me this was a true sign of great teacher who can transmit his knowledge.
When I met Thong a couple of years later I was even more impressed with his gentle and playful display of his skills while being able to turn this incredible “scary” power on at will without malice. Since 2015 I have been studying online with Thong both privately and in a group setting.The KaizenTao community Thong has created is an absolute joy to be around and we have developed solid friendships.
If you want to be better at moving, or dare to challenge yourself in ways you haven’t before and see what potential lies within you, I promise you Thong will help you peel the layers and discover what has been hiding in plain sight. I invite you to take the journey, you will enjoy it and it will change you for the better.
All the best,
