Vovinam

Vovinam Việt Võ Đạo is a martial art designed for self defense, health and personal development. Vovinam includes hand "đòn tay", elbow "chỏ", kicks "đá", throws, escape- and levering techniques. Both attack and defense techniques are trained, just as foot techniques, forms (Quyền, Song Luyện & Đa Luyện ), combat and traditional wrestling ("Vật"). The wide range of techniques include punching, kicking etc. as well as Quyens ("Katas", "Forms"), wrestling, sword, Con staff (not the Chinese "Gun" staff), axe, (folding-)fan and others. Self defense techniques cover defense against weaponless attacks like choking from behind or grabbing and against attacks with knife or sword. Advanced students learn to combine the techniques and learn to defend himself/herself against armed opponents. Instructors train traditional weapons like the long stick, short stick, knife, sword and sabre. Thereby the weapons serve as training devices for reaching optimal body control. A high level of concentration is necessary for these.
