Cuong Nhu (Vietnamese: ''Cương nhu karaté'', pronounced /Kung new/) Oriental martial arts was originally developed by Dr. Ngo Dong (O'Sensei) in 1965 in Hue, Vietnam.〔(Cuong Nhu Oriental Martial Arts )〕〔(Karaté trở lại giảng đường ) 2010〕 The Cuong Nhu Oriental Martial Arts Association (CNOMAA) is a federally recognized non-profit educational organization. Cuong Nhu is a martial art that blends elements of Shotokan, Wing Chun, Judo, Aikido, T'ai chi ch'uan, Vovinam,〔(About Cuong Nhu )〕 and Boxing.〔(Cuong Nhu Oriental Martial Arts )〕 It is this blending of hard and soft styles from which Cuong Nhu derives its name, which is Vietnamese for Hard (Cuong) / Soft (Nhu).〔Stephanie T. Hoppe Sharp Spear, Crystal Mirror: Martial Arts in Women's Lives - Page 258 1998 "In Cuong Nhu we are actively encouraged to study other styles. Sensei Dong — who is still alive and active — started Cuong Nhu officially in 1965 in Vietnam. He came to the United States to get his Ph.D., in 1971, I think, and started a school ..."〕〔Didi Goodman The Kids' Karate Workbook: A Take-Home Training Guide for Young ... - Page 175 2009 "Cuong Nhu, which means “hard and soft,” comes from Vietnam. It's really a blend of seven different styles of Asian martial arts. The founder of Cuong Nhu, Ngo Dong, began studying martial arts when he was a child. He studied many different ..."〕 The first Cuong Nhu dojo in the United States was opened in 1971 in Gainesville, Florida, at the University of Florida, where Ngo Dong achieved his Ph.D in Entomology.〔 The headquarters of the style was originally relocated to Gainesville Florida in 1977, following a daring escape from Vietnam by Ngo Dong and his family. The Cuong Nhu World headquarters is now permanently located in Jacksonville, Florida; locally known as Mandarin Martial Arts. The current head of style for Cuong Nhu is Grandmaster Quynh Ngo.〔(Cuong Nhu Oriental Martial Arts )〕 == Curriculum == Students at beginning levels of Cuong Nhu first concentrate on learning hard style Shotokan karate and Wing Chun techniques such as blocking and kicking, along with basic mat skills such as rolling, falling, takedowns and applications. Emphasis is given to the "loading" of techniques, and to turning the loads/transitions into 3-dimensional defense/attacks. As students' techniques evolve to more advanced levels, softer style techniques (Judo, Aikido and T'ai chi) and Boxing are introduced along with throws and take-downs. Personal safety and self-defense are important keynotes in Cuong Nhu training. An advanced student of Cuong Nhu will practice applications of self-defense that involve engaging, controlling, and finishing multiple attackers at all levels and at any age or ability. The nature of the attack will determine the level of response from a Cuong Nhu practitioner. Cuong Nhu's Kyu rank Kata consist of four basic forms along with Pinan Katas one through five, Tension Kata, Jutte, Enpi, and Chinte. Kyu rank weapon katas include original tambo (short staff) katas one through three and original bo (long staff) katas one through three. At blackbelt, Cuong Nhu includes higher levels of original hard style empty hand katas, original soft style empty hand katas Nhu 1, Nhu 2, and Lotus, as well as the study of more advanced weapons, including but not limited to bo, tambo, double tambo, tonfa, sai,and spear. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cuong Nhu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
