One word Master Tran said that describe his styles is “SIMPLICITY”. He wants to keep everything simple and easy to learn.
All of his styles are training for real life combat situations. Master Tran said, “throughout his life, he has faced and
experienced real life combat situations; it is not the complexity of the techniques that he used to defend himself, but the
simple techniques that he used to defeat his opponents, in which it has been proven.” He said, “as a martial artist, we
needs to train ourselves to be ready for real life combat situations; it is not about winning trophies for competing in the
tournaments, it is not about looking good, it is not about who knows more or who is better but it is about winning your life.
Because in real life combat, there are no rules, it is about life and death”. Master Tran believes that God gives everybody “LIFE”, no one can take away
from it accept Him. What makes his styles different from other styles is that there is no sport application. His styles will teach you only how to win your life.
