With many years of martial arts experience; studying,
training, teaching and researching. Master Tran founded four martial arts
styles, Tinh Vo Dao "The Way of Smart Fighting Arts", Tranjitsu, Street Rapid
Defense System and Lu Tran Kung Fu. For all the styles that he founded, Master
Tran calls it "Vietnamese Combat Martial Arts / Wushu".
In 1999, Master
Tran established his own private school “Tran’s Combat Martial Arts”, in which
he is the founder and chief instructor. On the same year, he founded his first
martial arts style of “Tinh Vo Dao” meaning “The Way of Smart Fighting
Arts”.
After few years of teaching his first style of Tinh Vo Dao, he
founded three more styles; Tranjitsu, Street Rapid Defense System and Lu Tran
Kung Fu. 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.
