Tiếng ViệtFPT Long Vân Primary, Secondary and High School has introduced Vovinam into its curriculum, helping students strengthen their health, build character, and nurture patriotism.
Female students confidently practice Vovinam, not only improving their physical fitness but also learning patience and self-defense.
With the message “Learning Vietnamese Martial Arts, Loving Vietnam”, FPT Long Vân Primary, Secondary and High School (Quy Nhon Tay Ward, Gia Lai) has implemented Vovinam training for students starting from grade 1. This not only provides them with a playground to enhance their physical strength but also contributes to preserving and promoting national cultural values.
Mr. Hà Nam Ninh, the school’s physical education teacher, shared:
“My greatest wish when teaching Vovinam is to train students in health and fitness so they know how to protect themselves, to cultivate discipline, respect, and the spirit of sharing. In life, when facing conflicts, they must know how to assess and respond appropriately to protect themselves and others.”
FPT Long Vân Primary, Secondary and High School has introduced Vovinam to all students.
Each educational level has a specially designed training program. Young pupils in primary school tend to be playful and find it difficult to concentrate, but this creates an interesting challenge for teachers in delivering lessons. For older students, martial arts practice becomes an opportunity to strengthen courage and problem-solving skills.
Vovinam not only benefits health but is also a memorable experience for students.
With guidance from Mr. Hà Nam Ninh
Đinh Hồng Thảo Ngân, a student of class 6A1, shared:
“When I first started, I felt excited. I learned patience and tolerance, which help me connect better with the people around me.”
Thảo Ngân also practices at home to improve her skills, aspiring to take part in competitions and introduce this martial art to international friends. She patiently teaches her younger brother, a 3rd grader, so that he can be confident and know how to protect himself at school.
From basic movements to advanced techniques, Vovinam at FPT Long Vân is not just a physical education subject. It instills in students the awareness of preserving traditions, fosters patriotism, and builds a foundation for them to be more resilient in life.
