Currently, the World Vovinam Federation and its member federations in Europe and Africa have shown interest and plan to send representatives to participate.
Record-breaking martial arts performance
Martial music is a creative, modern breath based on the foundation of Viet Vo Dao - a traditional martial art of Vietnam founded by martial artist Nguyen Loc in 1938.
"Martial music" is a combination of martial arts, music and dance, creating artistic performances.
The program is expected to set a record of 1 million people practicing Vovinam at the same time, creating a large-scale event.
Specifically, in the final round, the competing teams, all students, and vovinam disciples performed martial arts music together at 9:15 a.m., creating the largest performance ever, broadcast live and livestreamed on digital platforms.
Professional Vovinam teams will perform at historical landmarks such as Thang Long Imperial Citadel, in front of the Opera House, Vietnam Military History Museum, etc.
Meanwhile, students will perform at schools or public places nationwide, record themselves and send them to Vovinam Digital.
Alarm about students' cultural and spiritual life
The qualifying round of the Vovinam Dance 2025 competition will be held online from April 1 to July 31 on Vovinam Digital. The final round will be held live at Hanoi Radio on August 24, with a total prize value of up to 550 million VND.
Mr. Bach Ngoc Chien informed that the contest will not stop here but is expected to last for many more seasons.
According to Mr. Chien, Vovinam martial arts music has been taught in schools since 2013, spreading widely among students. However, to have a martial arts music competition like this one, it took more than ten years.

Currently, the cultural and entertainment life of students is quite poor, mainly attached to games, television, and phones.
"The competition is not only a simple sports activity but also an initiative, a creative cultural and sports playground, encouraging students to exercise both healthily and happily, away from passive entertainment activities," he said.
Thereby encouraging students' creativity through improvisational exercises and optional dance performances.
Deputy General Director of Hanoi Radio Nguyen Tien Dung added, "Organizing Vovinam Dance 2025 is also a way to spread information, preserve and develop traditional cultural values of the nation, one of the intangible heritages of Vietnam - the traditional martial art of vovinam".
