Preserving
Artistic Heritage
The great grandmaster’s ancestors passed down the traditional Vietnamese martial arts only within the family to avoid capture from the Nguyen Dynasty after the fall of the Tay Son Dynasty. Despite the harsh and difficult circumstances, they were determined to preserve the precious artistic heritage of martial arts left by our ancestors.
