the sport in the long-term.
Myanmar plans to host the Southeast Asian Vovinam Championship in July and
vovinam will also be on the docket at the Southeast Asian Students Sports
Festival in December in Nay Pyi Taw.
On June 5, the Vietnam Vovinam Federation worked with Myanmar Ministry of
Health and Sports and Myanmar Martial Art Federation to hold a training
programme for Myanmar’s vovinam referees.
Vovinam is practised with and without weapons. It is based on a balance of hard
and soft motions and actions. The martial art technique includes training of
the body and mind and uses hand motions, elbows, kicks as well as escape and
levering techniques.
Vovinam was founded by late grandmaster Nguyen Loc in Hanoi in 1938. It has
more than 2 million practitioners in nearly 70 countries.
