Kung Fu

In the kung fu courses, students learn the Vietnamese martial art vo-dao-viet-nam, a synthesis of multiple traditional Asian martial arts. This sport is equally suitable for men and women, as strength does not play a superior role. The central components of training include exercises to master the body and spirit, fighting techniques, and eighteen different types of weapons. Using meditation and khi-cong techniques, an effort is made to find harmony between body, spirit, and nature.
