Vovinam Flag
translated by Linh Thai
copyedited by Uy Tran.

The interpretation of Logo and Flag of Vovinam-Viet Vo Dao is based on the Color and Shape.

Color

Vovinam-Viet Vo Dao has five rank colors: blue, black, yellow, red, and white.

BLUE: Represents the color of hope, which means that the disciple begins to enter in the life of a martial artist and to perceive the philosophy of martial arts.

BLACK: Represents the color of water, which means that the understanding of martial arts and its philosophy has started to merge into the body, building a foundation for the character of the Vovinam's disciple.

YELLOW: Represents the color of earth, which means that the martial arts and its philosophy have permanently become a part of the Vovinam's disciple.

RED: Represents the color of fire, which means that the martial arts and its philosophy develop into a torch that guides the path for the Vovinam's disciple.

WHITE: Represents the color of chastity, which means that the disciple's martial arts and its philosophy has reached the absolute level and the disciple has also become the figure of the martial arts discipline of Vovinam.

Shape

        Flag: width is 3/5 of length; there is a Yin-Yang Circle in the middle. Between the Yin-Yang is the map of Vietnam representing the Life of the two opposite elements. A White Circle representing the Way to harmonize the difference between the Yin and Yang to preserve the eternal life surrounds the Yin-Yang Circle.


        Logo: the above 1/2 is the shape of the square, the below 1/2 is the shape of the circle, which represent the Truth - Perfection - Beauty. In the middle of the circle are the Yin-Yang Circle, the map of Vietnam, and the Circle of the Way in corresponding to the Flag.
