What is Cuong Nhu?
Cuong Nhu is a mixed martial art founded
in 1965 by Grandmaster Ngo Dong in Vietnam. The translation
for Cuong Nhu is “Hard-Soft”. Cuong Nhu blends hard styles,
where the student generates force and puts it into a target,
with soft styles, where the student takes another’s force and
turns it away. Cuong Nhu has its roots in Shotokan Karate and
combines aspects of Aikido, Judo, Wing Chun, Vovinam, Tai Chi
Chuan,
and Boxing.
Advantages of Cuong Nhu Training
- Improved Fitness
Cuong Nhu is designed
to improve strength, agility, balance, and endurance. Because
of Cuong Nhu’s equal emphasis on soft styles, students
also improve fluidity, posture, flexibility, and reaction
time.
- Straight Forward Self-Defense
Our three-part self-defense system is straight forward and
easy to pick up. Cuong Nhu offers its students a wide variety
of martial techniques to suit one’s individual abilities
and preferences. With practice, even children can escape
a much stronger aggressor.
- Diverse Curriculum
Cuong Nhu students are exposed to many styles of martial
arts and have the chance
to discover strategies that fit their bodies and personalities
the best. Black belts customize their
study and
remain constantly stimulated
by new ideas. Also, unlike some martial arts that
forbid training with other schools, Cuong Nhu encourages
students to learn all they can and bring more martial arts
knowledge and experience into our family!
- Philosophically Grounded
Cuong Nhu is modeled
on a rich code of ethics which emphasizes building up individuals
in order
to build up communities. Students are required to improve
not only their physical abilities, but also their characters
and spirits in order to advance.
- Encouraging Community
The Cuong Nhu family is unique among martial arts communities
in that all our schools support and encourage all the
others. There is no rivalry or negativity among Cuong Nhu
schools. Whenever students of one school travel, they are
always welcome at other schools and in the homes of students
around the world. Our international annual gatherings are
places of friendship, fun, and good humor.
