The Vovinam Ideal - Master Kim Thuy

Ideal is defined as “a conception of something in its absolute perfection…one that is regarded as a standard model of perfection or excellence…an honorable or worthy principle or aim.” Because they are the standard for perfection, ideals are often time far fetched and not easily achieved. Vovinam has a sublime ideal that was created by the late founder Grand Master Nguyen Loc, and has been passed down by the current Grand Master Le Sang to all disciples all over the world

Principal of Life - poverty

Vovinam Camp

Vovinam Camp, when you think of the word camp you think of, togetherness, a time for bonding, and forming new relationships with your fellow peers

Vovinam

The 10 pledges of Vovinam serve as a guide for the students of martial arts. As a Vovinam disciple, I mastered the 10 pledges of Vovinam. For 9 years, I studied the physical attributes of Vovinam. But for the last 5 years, I finally learned the full meaning of what embodies a martial artist; confidence, ambition, self motivation, responsibility, discipline, and self control.

Tears, Sweat, and Blood

From the moment I tied my very first misshapen light blue belt, and even now as I tie my still misshapen dark blue belt, I have given my tears, sweat, and blood to Vovinam

My Vovinam life

My name is Andy Nguyen. I am 13 years old going into the 8th grade. I started Vovinam Vietnamese Marital Arts at age 4, and I have been a disciple for 9 years. My family has also been in Vovinam before me and encouraged me to join.

The Evolution of the Vietnamese Community and Vovinam

Generation after generation mankind has sought and innovated ideas for the development of life on earth. Each movement and establishment has led to newer and bigger ideas; light bulbs replace the bickering of the sun, automobiles direct transportation, and computers connect our overflowing world.

Developing the next generation of Vovinam.

My greatest concern for Vovinam Hoa Lu is developing the next generation of Vovinam. This summer, our center has been striving to develop our next generation by getting them involved as much as possible.

Today’s Martial Artist

In an age where weaponry has evolved from the spear to the nuclear warhead, martial arts have evolved as well. In the past, many martial art forms had a very narrow focus and training outside one’s dojo was forbidden.

The Purpose of Life

The whole universe is a vast battlefield. Existence is nothing but a continuous struggle, molecules against molecules, atoms against atoms, electrons against electrons and so on and within the physical system itself it is a big battleground. The mind itself is the biggest battlefield.

Steel hands, gentle hearts

In Vovinam martial arts, Vietnamese masters blend soft and hard physical moves with a philosophy of giving
