VTV.vn - Vietnamese martial arts have been widely practiced in many countries around the world. Through these practices, they promote Vietnamese identity and traditions throughout the world.

After some visits to martial art dojos in Vietnam, these two men were charmed by a Vietnamese traditional martial art. Later, they decided to return to Vietnam and practice in Thanh Phong martial art school. These two are among many practitioners from around the world who have come to Vietnam to practice traditional martial arts.

In Vietnam, public dojos of martial arts attract practitioners of all ages and social standing. This is also a unique cultural scene that interests many foreign tourists. According to Vietnamese martial art masters, it is an honor to be able to spread traditional values through their teaching.

Vietnamese martial arts have developed with the country’s thousand-year history of building and protecting national sovereignty. Thus, through these practices, practitioners can clearly perceive traditional Vietnamese  values. Through generations, they have been well-preserved and developed.

Vietnamese martial arts are a combination of physical and mental exercises, with Vietnamese identity at the core. This is the reason Vietnamese martial arts have transcended national borders to gain popularity in many parts of the world.
