So grounded and focused on what matters the most in martial arts: the students. Its a non profit style that focuses on self-defense and character building. The instructors and students are some of the most amazing people you will ever meet. They take the time to get to know you on a personal level, catering to what matters to you in your training. Ive trained here for over 7 years and every time I step foot in the door it feels like home.

Martial Arts , and especially Cuong Nhu, benefits all individuals in a multitude of ways some of which include: learning self-defense, physical and mental fitness, confidence, leadership skills, camaraderie, and acquiring life-long friendships. Cuong Nhu is the perfect style for everyone of all ages, levels, and abilities. No matter your beliefs or what you set as your goals in life, Cuong Nhu will compliment and enrich that experience. As an added benefit, at Tallest Tree Dojo, family members and friends of all ages and ranks workout on the same floor at the same time, so there is no waiting around for individual classes or worrying about your youngsters -- Parents, get your workout and self-improvement training alongside your children!

I grew up in this karate style and among these people. You wont find a more sincere and grounded approach to martial arts. Cuong Nhu is an excellent integration of seven different martial arts styles unified under a single philosophy, and theres so much to draw on and learn from. Tallest Tree has been a part of the Gainesville community for over 30 years- check them out! Theyll become family.

An excellent place for you to be stronger both physically and mentally. It has dedicated instructors whose passions are martial art and teaching. The diversity of martial art techniques taught here makes the dojo standing out among others.

Love practicing at Tallest Tree. The instructors spend time helping every student, and everyone is friendly. We work hard but also have fun. Also, you learn seven different styles of martial arts in Cuong Nhu, and Cuong Nhu teaches you the hard and soft style of martial arts.

Great place for both kids and adults to work out, de-stress, and learn some awesome ninja moves! :D

Disclaimers first, I am one of the co-heads of school and Ive taught at this dojo for about 25 years. But from the very start this dojo has been special, first because it was where the founder of the style, Master Ngo Dong, taught for so many years. And secondly because of all the great people who have trained and sweated and worked together. Many are now scattered around the country and around the world at other dojos, but we still have the best students anywhere.
