Daily Inspiration: Meet Steven Nguyen

Today we’d like to introduce you to Steven Nguyen.

Hi Steven, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I was fascinated with martial arts when I was a kid. Growing up, that fascination grew into a passion. That passion turned into my life’s work. I am aiming to do this for the rest of my life.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
There were struggles with people who want the best for me, but didn’t understood why I chose this path. Because it can be a difficult one. I don’t have many people around me who walk similar path so it can be lonely. You have to know who you are and love what you do.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I am a martial arts instructor. I teach Kickboxing / Muay Thai. What sets me apart from others? I don’t know. I don’t know what other people are thinking. My love and attention to this is my own. Martial arts is a big part of me. I think about it everyday.

Is there something surprising that you feel even people who know you might not know about?
Although I train in martial arts / combat sports and it can be aggressive and chaotic; I really value the peaceful and gentle moments of my day. It is a contrast type of thing.
