Ulysses Ellis


I began training in Cuong Nhu in December 1972. I earned my Black Belt in 1975, and worked my way up to Rokudan in 1998. My primary instructors were Grand Master Ngo Dong and Sensei Hoang Thong Lap.

My special interests are painting, sketching, music, people and the Christian faith. I've taught all areas of Cuong Nhu Martial Arts and I'm presently refining all high ranking katas for presentations.

I have been employed at the University of Florida's Physical Plant Department for 28 years.
