Mr. Nguyen started with AKS in 2007, at age 8. He then became an instructor four years later, in 2011. Being an instructor is fulfilling for him as he loves watching students break out of their shells as they grow, progress, and overcome mental and physical barriers. He is happy to be a part of our students' growth journeys and support them along the way.

Mr. Teyvel began taking lessons at AKS in 2008 when he was 12 years old because he wanted to gain confidence and learn self-defense.

His favorite part of teaching is seeing people connect what they learn in class with their lives outside the studio.
