Balancing Faith, Family, and Taekwondo with Master Vincent Nguyen

A Black Belt Way of Life

A first-generation immigrant, Master Vincent Nguyen's life was molded by hardworking "dollar and a dream" parents who came from Vietnam to this country with $20. Through hard work, Vincent Nguyen's family embodies the "American Dream." With only 3 years of formal Taekwondo training as a teenager, Vincent Nguyen became a member of the Junior National Team for the United States in Taekwondo. Training alongside other National Team members and future Olympians at Grandmaster Jin Won Kim's Taekwondo Center in Houston, Texas, Vincent rose to the top of the Taekwondo ranks. Vincent carried this work ethic into his adulthood and career, always putting his faith in God first and foremost.

The Nguyen family is big, with five children and one on the way. Balance is the key component to making all this work. Vincent talks about balance, faith, and proper family values to get him through his hectic life, including teaching Taekwondo at Bang's Sport Taekwondo in Houston. A pioneer member of the USA Masters Team, he gives us what it means to be a master athlete and how the USA Masters Team and US Masters Cup can encourage an older athlete to a successful and healthy lifestyle. Vincent Nguyen's life in and out of the Taekwondo dojang is a special one that inspires all.
