Developing a Moral Life through Martial Arts



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nam Huynh Dao school teaches kung-fu which is not only physical exercises but also a philosophy of behavior which we have inherited from our ancestors: how to cope with nature, how to apply appropriate fighting strategies depending on the strength of our enemies. Practitioners will learn about the culture origins of our nation, understand the principle of contrast: yin-yang, hard-soft, the five elements and how to apply them in modern life. As time goes by our nation’s culture streams become absorbed into our flesh and blood. Once everyone becomes one and is united in spirit this becomes the intrenal strength of a nation.

Nam Huynh Dao has created a traditional martial arts and cultural environment. During Vo Dao weekly lessons, the master introduces the culture legacy of our ancestors to the disciples, such as: Nho-Nom (ancient Vietnamese words), modern foreign languages, etymology, I Ching, medicine… We belives in training and developing disciples over a long period of 18 years, disciples are taught how to control themselves and how to live a good moral life. The disciples are assisted and monitored to leave behind bad habits and attitiudes and face the temptations of daily life.
