My Martial Art Teacher

 

 

Master Duong Minh Hai and Master Nguyen Van Chieu

 

May I introduce you Master Duong Minh Hai, one of my teachers in Vovinam

(in 1975 he was one of a few masters  who had yellow belt with 3 stripes).

 

Most of the lawless-crazy-old-man in "Tay Thep" group, Masters Nguyen Thanh Phong in Oregon;

Tran Huu Ly in Virginia; Tran Dinh Hieu, Tran Van Tuu, Nguyen Van Nhut in Los Angeles,

Le Van Quy in Australia,...  were trained by this fine teacher.

 

He is a friend of Master Luong Thuan Vui and Master Diep Khoi.

 

Here he is (he's like a younger brother of Master Nguyen Van Chieu,

Master Nguyen Van Chieu was one of the people who trained him, too).

 

I talked to him a few months ago, after 33 years... It was good to know

that he was happy and healthy; it's better now to see his picture.

 

I hope that Master Duong Minh Hai will return to Vovinam duty soon. We

need people like him.

 

Tong Minh Duong
