history
After and during the Vietnam War , many Vietnamese martial arts were scattered across the world and developed further and apart.
The "Việt Võ Đạo Federation" was founded on November 3rd, 1973 to reunite as many Vietnamese martial arts as possible. Amongst other things:
- Vovinam
- Viet vu dao
- Qwan Ki Do (Quan Ky)
- Han Bai ( White Crane )
- Thang Long (Dragon Ascending)
The Việt Võ Đạo Federation also makes it its task to develop techniques further and to spread them around the world.
In a logical continuation, Việt Võ Đạo becomes “Nhan Võ Đạo”, the philosophy of the martial arts of “all of humanity”.
