WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
I was a student of Master Nguyen for over a two year period. I found master Nguyen to be a
man of great discipline and knowledge, a mentor and a great teacher. Having been a former
Olympic athlete, I sought out the instruction, advice and expertise of Master Nguyen. I continue
to enjoy the benefit of greater physical conditioning as a result of knowledge and practice
gained by having been a student of Master Nguyen.
Robert Metcalf (Former olympic athlete)
I have been studying under Sifu Nguyen for about three years now and I can't imagine
studying under any other master, for he is one of the most amazing people let alone teachers I
have ever met. His knowledge and strength amaze me in every class and it drives me to try
and develop my skills further and further. His teachings are both physical and mental. If you
are looking to learn the true meaning of martial arts, Grandmaster Nguyen is the teacher to
study under.
Paul Evans (Sales manager)
Master Sifu Nguyen is an amazing instructor, he makes the training become easy and
enjoyable. It is a tremendous boost both physically and mentally, you will feel more alive after a
class with him.
Mary Dugan ( Banker)
I had to relocate to NJ for work but I am planing to go back to Orlando and attend Master Sifu
Nguyen's weekend retreats once a month regarless of the long drive, this is the first time I am
back from NJ and this is my story:
At the age of 30 I was in a successful job as an actuary. I had everything people told me i
should have, a lucrative job, a beautiful house, a mustang GT convertible. I had everything
except for happiness. I used to drink alcohol3 - 4 nights a week. Especially the weekends. I
left NJ and came to Orlando in hopes to change that lifestyle but I found myself working as a
barback at Bob Marleys and drinking more than I used to.
I was currently enrolled in a different Kung fu institution when my friend told me of the wonders
of Sifu Nguyen. He sounded like every old grand master that graced the screen Sunday
mornings on kung fu theater. He changed my life. Of my five teachers of martial arts in my
lifetime, Sifu Nguyen is the most knowledgeable by far. He uses his vast knowledge of not
only martialarts but all things fitness, to hand tailor a specific program suited for you. I used to
not exercise after work due to physical and mental fatigue. I look forward to going to Sifu's
classes at night because no matter how tired I am or how bad I feel or how dreadful the day
may have been, I have ALWAYS left his class feeling the best i ever felt in that day. The
drinking has stopped, although I'llstill have a few now and then. If ever I feel the urge to get
back into my old habit a Sifu angel appears on my shoulder and tells me "Mark, you will not be
able to train tomorrow." Along with the lifestyle improvement comes the powerful techniques
learned. Maybe I should say because of the techniques learned my life has changed.
Breathing techniques have made it much easier to control my temper when dealing with the
80 high schoolers I have to every day. The physical techniques are fun and make the martial
arts class fly by.
Thank you Sifu Nguyen for being the catalyst and teacher that helped me create a better life.
Mark Berg (School teacher)
Master Sifu Nguyen's powerful training system has really shown me
great results for both mind and body, much better than any
type of training that I have tried in the past.
Rhonda Stueber (Interior designer)
Sifu Nguyen, I just wanted to thank you again for teaching me so much, not just about martial
arts, but about life. I think what I respect most about you is your teaching method. You lead by
example. You are never pushy or demanding. You are always supportive and manage to bring
out the best in me. I can tell that you genuinely care about your students. As an educator
myself, I can only hope to be half as good a teacher as you someday! Sincerely,
Dave Chesmel (School teacher)
Grandmaster Sifu Nguyen is one of the most accomplished martial art master in the world,
beside his incredible skills, he is also a wealth of knowledge and a great teacher. I highly
recommend his school for those who is seeking for the best in fitness and martial art training
Lloyd Beery (Business owner)
A few years ago, my best friend began telling me about a martial arts instructor that he had
met that seemed to fit the fantasy of all young children when they think of a martial arts master.
He described someone of amazing ability that often did things that seemed beyond belief.
Later, my best friend began training with him and I quickly followed.
While Sifu Grandmaster Nguyen's ability surely lived up to that ideal, and even surpassed it,
his skill quickly became one of the many amazing things about him. After meeting Sifu
Nguyen, it was no longer about what he could do, but who he was and the life he lives. I no
longer came just to learn to fight but to learn how to live a better and fuller life. I've allowed
myself to get distracted by college work at times, but each distraction has only taught me
more of what a special person Sifu is. A Sifu is someone who guides you in life, and someone
you will always be indebted to because of the valuable lessons he can teach you.
I will always owe Sifu for guiding me to where I am in life, and I will continue to owe him
gratitude and thanks for the life I have yet to lead.
John D'Angelo (College student)
Thank you Sifu Nguyen, your techniques have saved me twice from serious injuries when I fell
down on the icy street in Idaho and on the marble floor in Miami. And recently I was be able to
control a larger attacker with only two simple water techniques without harming him. That is
why I rather come to Orlando every other weekend and study from you instead of finding
another school down here in Miami.
Marshall Ames (Real estate developer)
If you want to make a big change in your life, Grandmaster Sifu Nguyen Center is the right
place for you. My long time back pain has totally gone, I really enjoy my new energy level. I've
also improved my posture and my stamina. Sifu's classes and internal energy sessions are
really amazing, if I miss one, I would regret it later.
Tammy James (Secretary)
From my initial interview with Master Sifu Nguyen to my current day training sessions, I have
found his studio to be fun, invigorating, challenging and informative. I feel they have a vested
personal interest in my well-being. Whether its through yoga, martial arts, kick boxing or
relaxation techniques, I am engaged in a challenging workout and learning new things each
time. A big, grateful thank you to Nancy and Master Sifu Nguyen.

....When we walked inside, two students were taking their purple belt test. They were doing
forms and sparring with gear. We were pretty impressed. It looked like the type of things I';d
seen in movies: I had yet learned how to differentiate.
I remember being tossed across the room with ease when he asked me to grab his wrist. He
allowed us to play tug of war as the rope ended on the floor at his feet. He showed us the
muscle popping and that really freaked us out. He did the unbendable arm with all four of us
trying to bend it, we couldn't. He showed the biggest one of us, my friend Silas, (who is also
now one of his students), how to do a powerful water lock. Silas had Sifu leaning back, parallel
with the ground with his arm locked up and to the side, putting incredible pressure on his
shoulder. It was impossible for Sifu Nguyen to get out of this...or so we thought. After taking a
deep breath, Siifu Nguyen came all the way back and ended laying our friend out on the floor.
Our minds were blown.
For two weeks sifu allowed us to come and go, bringing in other friends to experience what
we had proudly discovered. Over that period we were exposed to more techniques and
voluntary inundated ourselves with Sifu Nguyen's philosophy, which we couldn't get enough of.
He explained to us the meaning of his system the application of yin-yang, and introduced us to
the seven virtues such as; Integrity, Humility, Honesty, Loyalty, Respect, Self control and
Benevolence. We were introduced to hard style, soft style, internal and weapons training. He
showed us how through relaxation, ultimate speed, power, and focus is gained.
I was sold. It wasn't long after that, I became his student for good. It was a very important step
in my journey and I have never since looked back.
Philips Woodcum (Army soldier)
A gratuitous thank you to Grandmaster Sifu Nguyen.
You speak loudly with such a soft voice,
such strength to be so gentle
to give Health, Energy and Hope
to those of us in such despair.
I thank you that you choose to give so freely
at this time is so very rare.
Patty Carrigan (Phone operater)
I have known Master. Nguyen for about 11 years. For 3 years I was fortunate to spend much
of my time as his student of martial arts which extended to many other aspects of my life. He
is a man with tremendous morals as he taught me over and over again about humility,
respects, self control, benevolence, integrity, loyalty and honesty.
Marc Volper (Massage therapist)
Dear Sifu Nguyen,
When I first come to you I had no energy because of my chronic illness, but now I feel great, I
am stronger both physically and mentally. Thank you for teaching me how to achieve the
power, courage and inner peace to win the battle with my illness. Your program is incredible!
Thanks again Sifu.

Dear Sifu Nguyen,
I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy training with you. Never before has a workout
ended so quickly, the hour flies by leaving me wanting more.
