There are many things to enjoy about Cuong Nhu - the family atmosphere, the variety and quality of techniques - but the thing I like the most is to teach Cuong Nhu, at any rank. I hold a Master's degree in Educational Media and Instructional Design, which helps with the theoretical aspects, but I also like to give something back to the style and see the look on a student's face when they master a technique. In 1991 I produced a videotape on the history of Cuong Nhu, entitled 20 Years of Cuong Nhu in the United States.
I am employed at the University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences as Coordinator of Distance Education for the Center for Online Learning and Technology. You can e-mail me at rkthomas@ufl.edu.
