FAQs

Are martial arts good for fitness?

Absolutely. Martial arts practice increases flexibility, balance, strength, speed, and endurance. In addition to our practice of self-defense techniques, every class includes stretching, strengthening and endurance exercises. Many students shed pounds and gain muscle tone as they progress.

Can I wear my rank in Cuong Nhu?

When teachers and masters visit our schools to train us or to study alongside us, they and all of their students are welcome to wear their rank and will be recognized. However, if a student, teacher or master of another style begins training in Cuong Nhu, he or she will wear a white belt to indicate unfamiliarity with the Cuong Nhu curriculum. Students with prior experience in a martial art with similar principles as Cuong Nhu generally move faster through the ranks.

Is personal training available?

Yes. You can book private lessons for Cuong Nhu, self defense, or fitness training. Individual sessions are purchased by the month. Sessions are purchased in advance with discounts offered for multiple sessions purchased in a single month.

Will Cuong Nhu conflict with my religious beliefs?

Our code of ethics echoes the call for self-control and service to others found in religion, but religion is not taught in any of our classes. Participants of many faiths find that martial arts training complements their spiritual practice. The brief period of silent meditation at the start of each session serves to mentally signal a transition into the training period. This time may be appropriated as a prayer or simply a clearing of the mind.
