I first met Mr. Thong Nguyen when I was trying to learn to dance Salsa. I was fascinated by the beauty of his movements and the ease of his lead with a beginner as myself. Coincidentally, I was considering enrolling in a self-defense course because of a recent break-in where I came face to face with the burglar. Thong was kind enough to invite me to take his class instead, and thus began my journey with KaizenTao.
In three years of KaizenTao training, I have learned much about myself and my interactions with others. Through the study of movement, I am beginning to take control of my thoughts and actions by being more present and aware of my surroundings. I have also learned to be more accountable by doing away with my ego and better recognizing my mistakes in order to fix them. With every class, we explore situational scenarios to unlock new possibilities. KaizenTao, is more than a study of Martial Arts or Movement; it is a Way of Life.
Thank you very much Thong for all your guidance and giving me the opportunity to be a part of this wonderful family.
