The municipal People’s Committee previously asked the Department of Culture and Sports to coordinate with the HCMC Vovinam Viet Vo Dao Federation (HVVF) to complete a scientific dossier seeking recognition for the traditional Vietnamese martial art as a national intangible heritage.
Vovinam Viet Vo Dao was established in Hanoi in 1938 by Master Nguyen Loc and has been present in more than 70 countries and territories around the world, contributing to introducing the land and Vietnamese people to international communities./.
