Si Hing Dat Van Nguyen

Si Hing Dat Van Nguyen – Instructor

Nguyen Van Dat was born in Nha Trang, Vietnam in 1971. He is the oldest son in a family of three and an Amerasian child of a single mother. In August 1986, he came to the United States with his mother and younger brother through the Amerasian Resettlement Program and settle in Boston Massachusetts.

As a teenager, Dat was very fascinated by all those imaginative Chinese martial arts movies, kung-fu handbooks, and kung-fu magazines. Inspired by his idol, Jackie Chan in movies like "Snake in Eagle's Shadow", "Drunken Master", "Police Story", and the "Project A", Dat’s most ambitious dream was to learn Chinese martial arts from a great master. In early 1990, Dat had an opportunity to study the Wah Lum Northern Praying Mantis Kung-Fu System under Sifu Bob Rosen in Boston’s Chinatown.

At the Boston Wah-Lum Kung-Fu School, Dat is the elder student (Si-Hing) of the eighth generation members, serves as an assistant instructor, and senior member/coach of the Kung Fu and Lion Dance demo team. Over the years he has performed and competed at many events in the New England area, Seattle, Florida, New York, and Baltimore winning many awards and accolades.

Throughout all the years of Si-Hing Dat’s training in the Wah-Lum Pai, he has gained knowledge and understanding of this unique form of martial art, which he believes is one of the most effective for self-defense, as well as for physical fitness and mental well-being. He is more than happy to share his knowledge and experiences with all the students in the school and those who are interested in learning the Chinese Martial Arts.

Si-Hing Dat’s aim in the Wah-Lum Pai is to become certified as a “Sifu” (Instructor) and to preserve the heritage of the Wah-Lum Pai, and to pass on the knowledge to the next generation not only the realistic of self-defense taught, but also the cultural, and philosophical aspects of the Wah Lum System.
