Book Reviewer: Nikko Tan

Nikko, a student of the mind and body, is the chief instructor of Singapore Unarmed Training Institute. He trained under his grandfather’s Martial Arts (Khong Chang) in the year of 1977, at the age of 10. At the age of 17, he earned his Black Belt and continued to study, practice and conduct Body Weight Exercise and Martial Arts classes for over 38 years.

Traditionally his grandfather taught martial arts using weapons. His father taught unarmed combat, and now he is teaching martial arts as a platform to fight against stress, obesity and depression.
