University of Martial Arts

Việt Võ Đạo International inaugurates a visionary project: the creation of a true "University of Martial Arts" with its headquarters in Rome. This initiative is born to honor over fifty years of history in Europe and to renew the original mission of the Grand Master Founder Phan Hoàng.

Our academy is not just a physical location, but a hub of excellence, both physical and digital, that pursues the following fundamental goals:

• Pedagogical Innovation: To develop an updated technical program that merges traditional roots with innovative training methodologies, thanks to the collective contribution of Grand Masters and Instructors

• Global Well-being: To systematically integrate Khí Công (Vietnamese Qi Gong), adapted for martial arts and health, to enhance the vitality of senior practitioners and support the personal development of the youth

• Fundamental Motto: To embody and spread the principle “Hùng mạnh, hữu ích” (To be Strong, To be Useful)

The Digital and Multimedia Academy

To support practitioners worldwide, the headquarters will operate as a digital hub, publishing multilingual materials and multimedia content. This approach allows for overcoming geographical barriers, as demonstrated by the successful programs initiated by Grand Master Phan Hoàng (e.g., the Black Belt Program via email). Instructors and certified practitioners will have access to a true Digital School, constantly expanding and progressively enriched with multimedia content: videos, audio, and documents. Martial practice will sometimes be conducted via live streaming. Additionally, a gallery will be open to anyone wishing to approach Việt Võ Đạo, featuring introductory and in-depth materials. Within the Digital School, technical and philosophical programs will be updated and shared, while books and other educational tools will be made available gradually thanks to the contribution and sharing of the masters.

The Heart of the System: In-Person and Online Activities

The new international headquarters in Italy, located in Rome, is conceived as the beating heart of the system, a meeting point for practitioners of all ages and backgrounds.

The educational offering of the University of Martial Arts is divided into two macro-areas:

The Physical Academy (Rome Headquarters)

The "Eternal City" was chosen for its deep symbolic significance of history and universality.

The following will take place here:

• Advanced training courses for Masters and Instructors

• Cultural meetings to spread Vietnamese philosophy

• International events to build an inclusive community without borders

The School is directed by Grand Master Nguyễn Văn Việt. The Master regularly holds classes for teachers, high ranks, and aspiring instructors, during which the new programs of Việt Võ Đạo are explored in depth and traditional knowledge is refined. Particular attention is given to advanced Khí Công exercises (Vietnamese Qi Gong) and to cutting-edge research developed within the martial arts field.

• Cửu Đoạn (The 9 Levels): A parallel progression focused on the evolution of learning

• Lục Điểm (The 6 Characteristics): A guide for the evaluation and self-assessment of the level of knowledge

Each discipline can be explored through different interconnected paths that guide the student toward technical discovery and inner mastery:

• Traveling: Exploration as a source of inspiration for the evolution of techniques and forms

• Training: The rigor of practice through the learning of codified sequences

• Learning: The analytical phase dedicated to discovering treasures, strategies, and ethical virtues underlying every movement

• Knowing: Theoretical and philosophical in-depth study, including the study of the 5 Elements, the 8 Trigrammi, and the Meridian map

• Doing: Implementation through exercises aimed at consolidating the fundamental concepts of deep training.
