Looks pretty cool to me and I believe every martial art is effective it's just how you train it

[@Shinobi33]

But you got use it. You have to spar and fight. It can be just for show

[@dyniaz65]

@Jojo reference say that to BJJ

[@VNSnake1999]

@Jojo reference Vovinam has roots in Võ Cổ Truyền, an over 2000 year old Vietnamese traditional martial art.

[@blockobutter]

No.....that's like saying every car is fast if you drive it right. Some martial arts style developed in isolation and were rarely combat tested. There ARE specific human biomechanics that yield the best results. There ARE specific kicks and punches that deliver the best results. And there ARE martial arts styles that are most effective in true unarmed combat.

[@SaburZero]

any martial art that has competitive side is effective. BTW, I'm in martial arts my whole life and this is the first time I saw performance of Vovinam... this martial art is great by my opinion.

[@tavtav3526]

Emir Hamidović maybe there are more undiscovered martial art in south east asia. Do you think where muay thai & silat come from? Vovinam isn't that so surprising to me knowing it's from South East Asia.

[@kwarijanuar6044]

sir, what is your background martial arts?

[@SaburZero]

Kwari Januar started in Serbian Aikido then been trough Karate, Kickbox, did some Capeira, then Wing Chun, Judo, then little bit Muay Thai and ended up training Boxing for about 4 years before I had latarjet shoulder surgery. Now I'm on pause. Kicking the bag in my backyard 😊

[@khale5008]

if you want to defend learn Vovinam, if you really want to kill some one, come to Vietnam and learn "Vo co truyen", but it's hard to accept for learn with foreigner.

[@deanpatterson9036]

If it is used by the VC, it is effective. The demo stuff...is demo. But, I do like the ying/yang duality.

[@michaelw7867]

Excellent, great diversity of tactics. I met a Vo Vi Nam practitioner years ago and did some friendly sparring with him, he was very effective.

[@abubackersiddique8691]

You're videos is outstanding

[@cheeseplease2832]

It's a mix of everything. Karate, Kung fu, kick boxing, taekwondo, judo.... I practice karate kyokushin and judo. My coach was telling me to participate in a vovietnam tournament and to be honest I might. Looks nice and familiar.

[@Mayquayqua123]

You will be surprised how effective vovinam's Đòn Chân (grappling with the legs) is in a fight. Dark blue three stripe practitioner still a novice though.

[@jonahblessum4372]

It looks ultra fun too

[@bigtimes1]

I am the same rank bruh. Long live Vovinam.

[@eugencausevic5431]

Wow.... Nice martial art.... I would like to train it :)

[@AK-pr7gu]

I Have Never listen about it ,thanks For the info I need to check more information about it

[@RubenGarcia-oe1vf]

Excellent and powerful martial art

[@lancepabon]

nice coreography. and dancing moves...

[@Shindai]

It's very athletic, fair play, those people are in amazing shape.

[@solaclip]

IMHO it's just as effective as the experience stacked. just like many South East Asian traditional martial artists in _new imperialism_ era, originally it was used by Vietnamese freedom fighters to ambush French patrol in guerilla operations. the downside of this art is that it needs to finish the opponent immediately because normally one wouldn't have enough stamina to prolong the fight using Vovinam. but that also the benefit per se. no one would want to waste time and energy trading strikes in a fight that can be ended quickly.

[@Veepee92]

ʕ·͡ᴥ·ʔ Basically nothing about that comment is true. I don't often say that, but this time I almost had no choice.

[@davidsem9962]

It's sport-ing.

[@ThuTran-yl9ws]

The scissors kicks are incredible!

[@antocoppapneolo95]

Wow !!! Harmony and Power

[@Frankd22003]

It looks cheesy because these clips are from demonstration and some real competition. However, in real fights, there won't be gaps in responses and attack. Vovinam was created to defend and to kill in close combat.

[@pulkitrathore715]

Techniques are very good

[@arunkumardanam8165]

If you want to become a good fighter learn Vovinam and Kyoushin or Enshin

[@safdarkh786]

Looks cheesy!, yet AWESOME!😁

[@Frankd22003]

These clips are from demonstration including some real competition. However, in real fights there won't be postures and gap in responses. Vovinam was born to defend and to kill in close combat. Cheesy it is in demonstration.

[@RudyosIzDead]

I learn Vovinam and it very good

[@arnulfohecto4936]

As I look at it, it's a very effective but you have to learn first. But for me as apractisioner of martial arts I can easily learned that style of movement. Like the style.

[@Shinobi33]

It reminds me of pencak Silat, Arnis mixed in with Tang Soo Do

[@TheSilatiger]

looks competent enough

[@ghostcat1938]

Judging by the KO's I saw, it is an effective art

[@rnegoro1]

That flying leg lock takedown looks cool....... But flashy movements aren't really usable in real fights.

[@thesithlord5410]

In my opinion Hapkido is one of the best martial arts ever made. I like Krav Maga, I'm just now seeing the martial art Vovinam from this channel and I'm loving that one and kajukenbo is great too. Karate is alright but although I know there's no such thing as a superior martial art, I put Hapkido at the top of my favorite martial arts list. I'm currently training in it and look forward to improving it, become a high level Hapkido fighter and using it against other formidable martial artists.

[@masoodali7968]

First time I've heard of it. It vovinam mixed with kungfu style.

[@kwarijanuar6044]

Vovinam technique ever used by Cung Le against a grappler Frank Shamrock... A very nice leg sweep...

[@davidprivate949]

Cung Le was a sanda/sanshou practitioner, not a vovinam student. The leg sweeps are central in sanda.

[@kwarijanuar6044]

David Private yes that is true, but he also has vovinam background and seems both vovinam and sanda share similar techniques🙏, and even in Pencak Silat from my country it also teaches various leg sweep... may be leg sweep is essential in any form of TMA..

[@charlesbetancourt7337]

[@agengsatya2915]

Me too❤

[@markmorabito1643]

This looks really cool. I'm surprised they use the Japanese style gi and belt. I figured they would probably use a uniform similar to Southern Kung Fu or Silat.

[@VNSnake1999]

The Võ phục (Gi) of Vovinam is actually based on Giao lĩnh, a Vietnamese costume back in the feudal times.

[@pirotess2]

Vovinam was created in early 20th century, it was mixed a lot of other martial arts. The older Vietnamese martial arts were lost in time.

[@gianfrancopiralli2849]

👍👏👏🙏😁

[@chrisoreta]

It kinda reminds me of kung-fu...but it's not bad. I'm always a Silat and Kali fan.

[@tomrayan7740]

it's effective martial art.

[@musashypikashiu]

fun

[@dipayandegtyarev7177]

You should do one on АРМЕЙСКИЙ РУКОПАШНЫЙ БОЙ.

[@BirchTreeReborn]

I was taking free Vovinam classes at my college just before COVID hit and shut down all campus activities. I had a really fun time practicing it even when my instructor used me for demonstrations and I ended up flat on my butt (I always thought it was super funny how he was able to throw me around without any effort). I'd love to get back into it.

[@balamohammed5947]

I thought a saw someone who looks like Marese crump

[@ethanbyrne6462]

Yes, I do believe it contains the principles of yin and yang.☯ Very effective!👏

[@emersonv]

This looks like it ment for movies

[@khanhbuiduy4744]

I love Vovinam

[@thejodyjourney219]

Good kungfu!

[@killaben85]

Vovinam sparring looks a lot like Sanda with it's ruleset.

[@jonnathanizquierdo2079]

Lo quemyo veo en el vovinam q hay varios estilos de artes marciales combinados

[@leonardopolato2634]

after this video i think vovinam is very effettive

[@anubhavaniket8159]

Leonardo Polato first of all no martial arts is good or bad.....it depends on you how u train yourself .....if you learn vovinam and do not practice then immediately you gonna lose or get defeated by a small kid

[@asp1072]

Hey op can u shows us bokator from myanmar or burma, i forgot where that martial art from. Diversity in south east asia should be known by people's, especially unfamiliar name such as vovinam and bokator. There's a lot of them unnoticeable by outsider

[@Veepee92]

AS P Cambodia, man.

[@nathanly2613]

The performance looks a lot like wushu

[@nyaruko-do2ok]

vovinam? First time I've heard of it

[@TheBikeOnTheMoon]

It's not surprising that you've never heard of it. This martial art isn't very well known to the outside world compared to other martial art because Marketing is very expensive and Vietnam isn't rich enough to have spare money to do it. It mostly relies on word of mouth method to market.

[@Charlie35Bui]

Yes, Vovinam is developed to the world by Vietnamese imigation. In Europe , it is popular in France, Belgeum, Italia ... . Specially in USA where is the large of Vietnamese American community, it is tought to remind about traditional culture, it contain Vietnamese culture value, principles of life from ancestor.

[@louyht7]

The full name of this martial art is Viet Vo Dao short for Vovinam. My great uncle learned this martial art. When i was a kid i learned Karate for 3-5 months then i quit and then i learned Vietnamese traditional martial art for about 8 months then i quit I didn't have dedication back then lol. I wish i can learn Vovinam now.

[@themilkycow4050]

Now, against boxing and Muay Thai

[@k14michael]

Milkey Cow - they would get knock out by boxing and Muay Thai.

[@JumpswithGoats]

Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face. -Mike Tyson

[@MobiusCoin]

Why does this martial art use a gi?

[@HuanLeVuong]

i've seen Rey Mysterio :V

[@harysatria4004]

This is new to me, why its look like tae kwon do?

[@charlesbetancourt7337]

1:16 You of course mean kungfu. It's founding father practiced a variety of Chinese fighting styles and some boxing and grappling.

[@tavtav3526]

This is my first time knowing this martial art & it's legit. But again, for practicality, depends on situation & the one using it. You will never pull out that air-dashing-scissors-takedown on toilet room in the situation where the enemy having knife pointing at you.

[@dottierdig9514]

alfian nahuda, you are wrong, I've done it once.

[@k14michael]

Dottier - please don't lied. Nobody would be stupid enough to try the flying neck scissor take-down in a real fight.

[@Mayquayqua123]

As a 5 year practitioner of vovinam k14michael you are right XD no one would ever pull that move in a street fight, day one of learning vovinam "learn the basic techniques everyday, because thats all your body is going to remember in a street fight"

[@tavtav3526]

Mayquayqua123 my teacher teach me that too. When in the real situation, just use the most basic technique cause it's fastest & easiest. Forget all that throwing technique & jointlock. Just focus on how to get out from your current situation.

[@jonahblessum4372]

@@tavtav3526 well if you get into clinching/grappling range maybe some simple, intuitive throws like a hip throw would come in handy. And there's a difference between a street fight - someone trying to kill you - and a liquored up guy in a bar who could be handled with a sternum arm-bar. But yeah, no scissor kicks in a fight...unfortunately XD

[@jiminglobox259]

The 1:38 part

[@CappyK]

Apparently Black Widow uses Vovinam?

[@fredericthom8113]

it s vietvodao ... the vovivietnam are more kind of meditation , kind of religion ...

[@k14michael]

frederic - not meditation or religion, just a combination of Vietnamese traditional martial arts, northern shaolin Kung Fu, Karate, Judo, Tae Kwon Do, Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai.

[@Mayquayqua123]

vovinam is the name used for foreign countries

[@LoLoStuff]

Grab head by legs? Is it possible?

[@k14michael]

Yes, but only in demonstrations. Most of the time the partners help each other out to pull this off. Very hard and almost impossible to pull off with a real resisting opponent.

[@LoLoStuff]

k14michael i know, i live in Vietnam, lol, i heard in tournament they created a rule that each fighter must do/attempt to do 1 "grab head by legs" one time at least. Lol.

[@khale5008]

if you want to defend learn vovinam, if you want to kill learn vo co truyen, as a vietnamese

[@Veepee92]

I think you should credit all the videos you used everywhere around KZbin you used to make this video. That would be polite and fair use.

[@kurtiousmaximus7130]

Prefered by the smaller framed but still has enough versatility to be good for all.

[@schoolrockz9043]

Nun-chucks are not in Vovinam. They are used in Karate.

Nunchucks are in every martial arts in Vietnam dude. I'm Taekwondo student but my teacher also teach us nunchucks :)

[@VNSnake1999]

The are used in many Asian martial arts including Vovinam. Nun chucks are called Nhị khúc côn in Vietnamese.

[@nguyenhieu6731]

No. Not Vietnam

[@lucasvega4216]

A lot of bullshido and almost no real training for real fighting.

[@yo-lr1bp]

big fax

[@davidprivate949]

so unsurprisingly, when it turns to an actual combat situation as in competition, it just looks like kickboxing. Why waste time with all the extraneous bullshit you know doesnt work? (dont say thats not the case, because otherwise you would use the techniques) Just do kickboxing. You'll notice the wushu-sanshou teams of vietnam don't waste their time doing taolu and all that nonsense, they are in the gym drilling the techniques they will actually use in combat, meanwhile the guys and gals doing talou don't fight. Ever. Big surprise.

[@charlesbetancourt7337]

There is a mma fight 'vovinam vs. shotokan karate' from the commentary breakdown channel that proves a lot of the spinning movements and stances do work.

[@charlesbetancourt7337]

Also watch Qi la la wingchun defeats two muaythai fighters" He uses classical kungfu in the ring and cage.

[@vincentlee7359]

Sorry. As a Vietnamese....this martial art sucks.

[@tavtav3526]

Vincent Lee give respect to your own martial art

[@vincentlee7359]

alfian nahuda 1. It is not my martial art 2. It is Vietnam's martial art 3. I speak for the majority of vietnamese, that this martial art is shit. If you arent from my country you will not understand

[@TheBikeOnTheMoon]

I saw many MMA fighters actually used vovinam and beat their opponents so yeah...sucks or not, it's all about perspective.

[@tavtav3526]

Vincent Lee if you say so then maybe vovinam is sucks. Well my country also has silat. But it's not my martial art & I think it sucks too. Sorry for earlier.

[@giangnguyenhoang3128]

hey sorry, none of Vietnamese get the "Lee" in their name, except Chinese.
