Vietnamese Ambassador Vu The Hiep underscored that the championship helps bolster mutual understanding and amity between Vietnamese people and international friends and promote Vietnamese martial arts to the world.

The Vietnamese team bagged three gold medals on the first day of the tournament.

Vovinam is practiced with or without weapons in both attack and defense techniques, and includes training of the body as well as the mind.

Vovinam has grown significantly after 77 years of development.

The art is currently practiced in 12 African countries and has further taken off since the African Vovinam Federation (AVF) was founded in 2012.

In Algeria alone, over 22,000 followers of the art are found in 30 of the country’s 48 provinces and cities./.
