In 2003, teacher Do Dinh Kien (currently the
Principal of Luong Son district Boarding Secondary and High School for Ethnic
Minorities) and teacher Vu Tran Hung (teacher of Luong Son High School) laid
the foundation for the establishment of the Luong Son High School Youth Union’s
Karate Club. At that time, the club operated with 30 participants. It then
changed its name to the Luong Son Karate Club, which currently has over 400 members
of all ages, and 11 training venues. Although there are still many
difficulties, the club has always paid attention to, and invested in purchasing
equipment and tools, gradually meeting the needs of practice, exchange and
competition.
Coach Vu Tran Hung, head of the Luong Son Karate
Club, shared that the numbers of martial artists and training venues are quite
large, but the club always focuses on the quality of teaching, training and
martial arts spirit. Each training session lasts 90 minutes, martial artists
not only learn basic to advanced techniques and tactics, but also have training
in ethics, discipline, solidarity, and the will to overcome difficulties so
that they can improve themselves physically, mentally, and morally. Every
quarter, the club organises rank upgrade exams for martial artists according to
regulations.
Under the guidance of coach Vu Tran Hung and the
efforts of each martial artist, the Luong Son Karate Club has participated in
many tournaments inside and outside the province, winning a lot of impressive
achievements. Most recently, at the 5th Open Karate Club Championship of Hoa
Binh province in 2024, which attracted the participation of nearly 520 athletes
from 31 clubs inside and outside the province, the Luong Son Karate Club won
two first-place trophies for the age groups of 15-17 and over 18 years old. In
July, the club also won the overall first place at the 10th Open Karate Club
Championship of Bac Giang province in 2024.
Along with promoting the spirit of volunteerism and completing the core tasks of the Youth Communist Union and the youth movement, in recent years, the Youth Communist Union at all levels in the province has regularly organized the movement of physical exercise and sports attracting the participation of a large number of union members and young people. These activities help the union members and the young people raise their awareness of self-training, improving their health, and building a healthy lifestyle and they are also a solution to attract and gather the young people in many localities.
In recent years, modern dance has gradually become popular and emerged as a trend, attracting more and more young people in Hoa Binh to practice and perform. As an art form consisting of many different dancing genres, participating in modern dancing activities, practitioners not only improve their health, physique, flexibility, agility, and confidence, but they also contribute to building a healthy cultural and artistic movement in the community.
