DTO - From March 3 to 9, 2025, in Vung Tau City (Ba Ria - Vung Tau Province), the 2025 National Beach Kurash Championship will take place. This is the first time the tournament is held, but it is expected to gather excellent athletes from all over the country to compete. With the determination to win gold medals, the Dong Thap kurash team actively practices and adapts to the competition conditions on the sand field to achieve the best results.
The coaching staff and kurash fighters of Dong Thap are determined to win the gold medal at the 2025 National Beach Kurash Championship.
Kurash is a martial art that focuses on physical strength, muscle strength and the competition rules have many similarities with judo. In Dong Thap province, kurash was developed based on the use of judo athletes who are good at using hand and leg sweeping techniques. Up to now, many judo athletes have been oriented by the Coaching Board (BHL) to practice kurash and have achieved many high achievements from national to international arenas. In 2023, kurash athletes brought Dong Thap sports and the National Team 8 gold medals, 5 silver medals, 11 bronze medals. In 2024, Dong Thap martial artists continued to reap many impressive achievements, notably 1 gold medal, 1 silver medal and 5 bronze medals at the National Kurash Championship.
Kicking off the 2025 competition program, Dat Sen Hong kurash athletes are increasing their training volume and intensity to prepare for the National Beach Kurash Championship in Ba Ria - Vung Tau province. According to the regulations, the tournament will organize individual competitions for men and women in 19 weight categories. In which, male athletes compete in the following weight categories: -50kg, -55kg, -60kg, -66kg, -73kg, -81kg, -90kg, -100kg and +100kg; female athletes compete in the following weight categories: -42kg, -45kg, -48kg; -52kg; -57kg; -63kg; -70kg; -78kg, -87kg and +87kg.
Coach Huynh Nhat Thong - Dong Thap kurash department, said: “Because this is the first time organizing, most of the strong units are participating and have prepared very carefully for the upcoming tournament. This shows that the scale and competitive nature of the tournament is very high. Dong Thap kurash department is at a disadvantage when many athletes are focusing on the National Team and the Vietnam Judo Youth Team and cannot participate. The most regrettable thing is that the two martial artists Nguyen Thi Ngoc Nhung and Pham The Minh Hieu are in high form. In 2024, Minh Hieu excellently won the gold medal at the Southeast Asian Championship and the silver medal at the National Championship, while Ngoc Nhung won the gold medal at the National Championship and the bronze medal at the Southeast Asian Championship”.
The absence of national players, along with the less than 100% fitness of key athlete Le Huynh Tuong Vi due to injury, has significantly affected the ability to compete for medals in Dong Thap kurash. However, in the squad of coach Huynh Nhat Thong, there are still many skilled martial artists such as: Nguyen Thi Nhu Y, Nguyen Thi Hong Gam or Nguyen Huynh Anh Kiet, Cao Minh Nghia Ky. The rest are mostly young faces, with enthusiasm in training and competition, ready to create surprises.
Determined to win at least 1 gold medal at the 2025 National Beach Kurash Championship, the coaches and athletes of Dong Thap kurash have been practicing hard in recent days. The whole team has increased their combat exercises on the sand field to get used to and adapt to the competition conditions.
Athlete Nguyen Thi Hong Gam shared: “Since the Lunar New Year, my team and I have been trying to practice to prepare for important tournaments, the first of which is the 2025 National Beach Kurash Championship. The closer the competition date gets, the more determined the coaches and athletes are to practice hard to accumulate more experience and improve their techniques and tactics in competition. Currently, I feel confident and ready to join my teammates to reap the “gold” for Dong Thap kurash.”
According to the coaching board of the Dong Thap kurash department, the team's strengths are their spirit of effort and determination to practice. "In each training session, the coach and athletes regularly discuss to find out the weaknesses and strengths of each athlete, from which adjustments can be made to promote strength and overcome limitations. The whole team promotes the spirit of practice, prepares techniques, tactics and the best physical condition to enter the tournament with confidence, with the goal of winning the gold medal" - Coach Huynh Nhat Thong added.
