The performance night "Quintessence of international martial arts" is part of the program "Tourism, cinema and sports - Pride of Vietnamese identity" in 2024, organized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in coordination with the People's Committee of Binh Dinh province to promote the image, people, and traditional martial arts of Binh Dinh to domestic and foreign friends.

Here, thousands of spectators enjoyed artistic performances of traditional Vietnamese martial arts, Tay Son - Binh Dinh martial arts and some Khmer martial arts, wushu, pencak silat, muay Thai, kickboxing and exciting matches on the ring.

Around the stage, thousands of spectators continuously applauded the martial arts performances. Also tonight, the Quy Nhon audience directly watched for the first time the martial artist known as the "undefeated" Vietnamese Muay Thai fighter Nguyen Tran Duy Nhat perform impressively with two other martial artists.
