I'll be spending some time for business in Southeast Asia, and have been trying to research Vietnamese martial arts. So I've seen Vovinam (spelling?) and a local aikido school. Does anyone know of anything traditional, or modern too, in Vietnam?
Hi I've been studying Vietnamese kung-fu (Thuong Lao) since December 2011 and just love it. As for your question http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnamese_martial_arts
I've seen this floating around YouTube, looks kinda interesting: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4Fbl4Oymkw"]CÔNG PHU NAM HUỲNH ÄẠO - KỸ NÄ‚NG CHIẾN ÄẤU (2) - YouTube[/ame] [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tP5UXi-O1IQ"]Nam Huynh Dao.Применение.#5 - YouTube[/ame] http://www.youtube.com/user/kungfunamhuynhdao This is their site: http://namhuynhdao.vn/vi/ (no english link as far as I can see, maybe google translate will work) If you do check it out, please update us, would be interesting to hear your experience.
Id love to visit Vietnam. Id like to see Hue, where CN was established and Hanoi where O Sensei was born.
Try Việt Võ Đạo. The only reason I remember it is due to reading about an instructor who was killed by his student.If seems the instructor told the student to put a choke on him and he couldn't escape from it.Eventually the student released the choke due to exhaustion but by that time the instructor was dead.At least it proved the escape wasn't functional.
