I have discovered Aiki Wellness principles from my life-long study of how to live a well-balanced life. The study is based on the teachings of the following masters and their respective disciplines, without which Aiki Wellness would not exist today:

• O'Sensei Morihei Ueshiba, founder of Aikido.
  It was Aikido that changed my life from mental weakness and physical illness to optimal health.
• Sensei Koichi Tohei, former Chief Instructor at Aikikai, founder of Ki Society
  It was the Sensei Koichi Tohei's book "Aikido in Daily Life" that brought me to Aikido in 1969.
  This book was later re-titled as "Ki in Daily Life"
  I have never lived a day without Aikido since then.
• Sensei Đặng Thông Phong of Tenshinkai Aikido Federation, Westminster, California, USA.
  Sensei Đặng has been my sensei since 1969 in Saigon, Vietnam and later in Westminster, California, USA.
• Sensei Trương Văn Lương of Thiên Tâm Hội from 1969 to 1975, Saigon, Vietnam.
• Sensei Ngô Quyền of Thiên Tâm Hội from 1969 to 1975, Saigon, Vietnam.
• Sensei Bùi Duy Cảnh of Thiên Tâm Hội from 1969 to 1975, Saigon, Vietnam.
• Sensei Trần Kỉnh in 1973, Dalat and from 1980 to 1981, Đạo đường Quận nhất, Saigon, Vietnam.
• Sensei Bruce Stiles in 1982, Toronto Aikikai, Canada.
• Sensei Robert Zimmermann in 1982, Toronto Aikikai, Canada.
• Sensei George Oshawa who taught me the principles of Macrobiotics through his many books.
• Profressor Paul Bragg who taught me the principles of fasting through his book "The Miracle of Fasting".
  I have been practicing fasting on a regular schedule since 2003.
• Thượng Tọa Thích Tâm Ấn who taught me the fundamentals of Acupuncture.
• Thầy Lý Diệu Phương who taught me advanced techniques of Acupuncture.

I am sincerely and profoundly thankful for the teaching of each of these masters.
