@Tibly its possible because tma or traditional martial is meant to be used in war and or really good for street fighting unlike muay Thai which is made for sports if you like muay Thai try muay Thai boran which is traditional muay really awesome it's Tony jaas style
Its kinda interesting. The kid is fighting like an old man. Its kinda mystic. I really don't know the use of some moves. If they are weak, then they wouldn't be able to defeat china and thai. Especial muay thai is very dangerous and fearful. They recruited and trained people in a very short time. It relates to shaolin? I d k about that. I've heard that southern china shaolin was destroyed, only north survived. Imagine that some amateurs beats a big professinal team. How is that possible?
A Human Being got only 2 hands & 2 legs + a Head, so no matter what you tried do, there will be some similarity looks in their forms. Sometime things may look similar but that doesnt mean they came from the same root. For everyone that think VN came from China is dead wrong and ignorance. VN and China are two differences race and country. China took over VN for 1000 years, but that doesnt mean that VN & China were related. Ex: Mexico speaks Spanish, does that mean the Mexicans came from Spain?
nice A+++ There are many Styles and School in VN like Vovinam, Nhat Tam, Thieu Lam ect... Some came from China and some original develope by the Vietnamese. So what style and school is this??
this doesnt look like shoalin, at least for me lol. if you gonna say anything thats like shaolin, it would be thieu lam because shoalin monks that left china to settle in vietnam. however even then, besides the old shaolin martial arts they brought over, thieu lam has been able to distinguish itself somewhat unique compare to china's shaolin.
vietnam had a lot of influences from china for almost 1000 years but they found drawings or something in caves that date back way before china came into the picture.
also from what i read here and there over the years, vietnam were cool with its neighbors, even mountain tribes. so i dont doubt they influence each other.
vietnam itself has develop and evolved its arts over thousands of years of constant fighting for freedom and independence.
i saw a stick demo which looks like this kid but a little older. absolutely amazing! form, speed and precision is top notch. better than any other stick demos ive seen!
damn I know this kid. I traveled to Binh Dinh (drove to 19th National Freeway up to the mountain). He's a grandson of a very famous master, and the master said this kid will be better than him in martial art, because the kid has granted talent in martial art. That means the kid was born to practice it. The kid's father is also a master, but the old master said the father is just like normal, not granted talent.
this is binh dinh style man. this is far older then vovinam. vovinam was created in the 1920s specifically to used on the french however it proved to be pretty effective.
theres other martial arts than vovinam like thieu lam(vietnamese shaolin), vo tu do(which im assuming viet kickboxing because im dieing to learn this. said to died out in vietnam because the commies banned it in 1979 but i found someone who can teach o_O!), vat(viet wrestling) and many other traditionally viet martial arts.
The basic idea of martial arts training is simple - If you do something too often, your body develops and your gene mutate a bit to fit in so that your body can do it easily, without getting tire or even hurt yourself.
All martial forms have different degree of its own effectiveness. Its all depends on the path the artist chose, and most importantly the artist himself. With hard training and concentration on his training any art form will be developed and mastered by the artist, then turned into either self-defense or a deadly weapon thing.
naw you cant really tell by the form...I dont know about this Vo Co Truyen but take Vovinam for an example: all the forms are beautiful and flawless but there is no essential in vovinam...its signiture move was Scissor kick and its has no effective in a real combat...
Vo Co Truyen or Vovinam were made for warfare during it's glory days. Back then it was a lifestyle, people trained in the hundred of thousands and trained hard; soldiers and ordinary citizens.
You don't see the effectiveness because you are blind by your weaknesses; your mind and physical ability.
See all those gymnasts performed at the Olympics? Can you do what they do?
No, because you don't have the discipline to trained like them.
no offense on Vo Co Truyen since I dont know it. but i've been a Nhi Dang HOang Dai in vovinam, and i'm a 1 degree black bell in taekwondo now. and all kinds of martial art are for war, thanks i know that. And i dont try to compare this to that (since it's all about training time and discipline). I'm talking about the effectiveness.
haha, all kinds of martial art are for war? that's a pretty narrow-minded statement, don't you think?
when nguyen loc introduced vovinam to the public in 1938, he had spent time traveling abroad studying fighting philosophies and systems, not fighting wars training in military camps.
other than "war", other potential evironments or aspects of use a martial art can aim to address are: street fight, traditional one-on-one duels, sports tournament, bodily health, mental discipline, etc . . .
I've been using taekwondo almost daily. and I know how effective of a quick, simple round house kick. now could you tell me what's the effectiveness of the scissor kick in a real battle?
I've seen a lil too many fight/sparring. and NO, there was none scissor kick...they dont even use it in a real fight...
i agree. when kicking you raise one foot up hence sacrificing balance and stability. this is the time when you are susceptible to enemy's counter attack. most southern styles of kung fu believe this theory. what more if you remove both feet off the ground?
why? Because it is too complicated and unrealistic. no one will stand there, waiting for you to take aim, then jump and try to lock their neck with your legs (I just rather kick, or lock joint if it come down to jujitsu) I might be wrong but you have to prove it to me first...by showing me any victory archieved by scissor kick
Cung Le is a good example, his a Martial Artist and a professional fighter in the US. He executes the scissor kick very well, but still, I reckon he can make improvements on it.
mah bad..it's not scissor kick..it's called Do`n Chan which you jump up and use your legs to grab the opponent and either break their neck or wrestling. If you wanna check, it's the signature move of vovinam...and fyi, Cung Le favorite moves are Spining back hook kick, or back kick...
the technique depends on the application of serious force, making it an illogical choice for friendly sparring/competition bouts. asking us to show you a victory won by its use is like asking us to show you a fight won with tiger palm to the nose, puting nose cartilage into the brain pan (instantly lethal). people don't do that in practice, friendly/fierce competition, or in any case that isn't life and death, so don't say the move is no good just because we can't show you it being used.
There is no Scissor kick in the form above. What you really witness was jumping front kick (Ho Diep Song Phi). Furthermore, this is Binh Dinh style, not Vo Co Truyen
I agree. Why are you talking about Vovinam. This is Vo Binh Dinh. tyrisvn, you've been brainwashed by TDK like the rest of the world. Simple round house kick???? VVN was created by Nguyen Loc. From his pics I can tell he was very intelligent. I've never studied VVN, but I know he mixed Judo w/Viet MAs. The scissor kick is a very dangerous maneuver. I wouldn't do it. It's for exhibition. GM Nguyen likes flavor. Hwvr,those who try it land so gracefully w/o getting hurt. That in itself is an Art.
I have been studying VBD in Australia, Sydney, under the guidance of Thay Tri Tran since 2001. We are grading very soon and I am hoping to tape it for youtube. Anyone interested in trying out VBD, msg me for details. Cheers
Wow, it has powerful kicks like taekwondo, hand techniques like karate, fast and fluidics movements like kungfu. This is a really beatifull martial art.
does taekwando really have the reputation of "powerful kicks"? in my experience tkd practitioners are more intrested in many light kicks to overwhelm you, and actual strength of the kick is secondary, ie. often lacking from the less skilled kickers.
Your Right! Vo Binh Dinh has 3 systems one being An-Vinh, created for girls in this village. I've study VBD and it does not look anything like this demo. I guess I studied a mixed style. Vo Ta (Martial Arts of Our People), Vo Tu Do (Martial Arts- Free style), and others where it's doesn't look as fancy. There are 72 elbows each with it's own name. More than any other style. Knees like Muay Thai, it uses eagle claws. iron palms like Kung Fu, and rarely punches. There's also grappling.
It's actually Vo Ta (literally meaning Martial Arts of our people), older form. VBD is not that old relatively speaking. The Monguls tried to invade by land twice, but it was the final battle at Hai Long Bay that everyone seems to remember most when King Tran Hung Dao trap the Mongul Naval ships. As the High Tide submerged hidden spike pierces through the ships and sunk them.

A Martial Artist learns what he has been taught and to perfect it to his maximum ability.
Body mass and height plays major role in what style you should learn.
