It’s with great sorrow that I have the duty to let you all know that Grandmaster Quynh passed away this morning (September 1, 2021) from complications of Covid-19. It’s a real blow to us personally and to the Cuong Nhu family. Master Jessica and the Ngo family are of course devastated. At this time they do not wish to be contacted directly.

The great strength of our style has always been that we work together as a family, and I know that strength is going to carry us forward, even through this very difficult time. But please don’t hesitate to call upon me at any time, and don’t hesitate to let me know your thoughts and feelings individually.

In sadness,

Master John Burns and Cuong Nhu Martial Arts Association
Welcome to Cuong Nhu

Our Founder

Often referred to as O Sensei (Great Teacher) by those who knew him, Grandmaster Dong had a vision for a unique style that extended beyond physical technique. He ensured that Cuong Nhu was built on a strong moral and spiritual foundation by interjecting his personal philosophy of continual self-improvement, community service, and respect for others.

What makes Cuong Nhu so special?
 

Cuong Nhu students, through our comprehensive curriculum, explore not just technical, but also mental and spiritual aspects of training.  Cuong Nhu is a martial art that blends the basic elements of a number of different styles. Cuong Nhu has its roots in Shotokan Karate and combines aspects of Aikido, Judo, Wing Chun, Vovinam, Tai Chi Chuan, and Boxing. It is this blending of hard and soft styles from which Cuong Nhu (pronounced Kung New) derives its name, which is Vietnamese for Hard (Cuong) - Soft (Nhu).
