About the Business

The history of Vietnam spans thousands of years. Over the centuries the Vietnamese suffered many attacks from the Chinese and Mongol armies. They have fought for independence even in our times - first, with French colonialists, later with the US army. That is why the martial arts are such importance for the culture of this country.

Since the XI century there has been an academy (or university) of martial arts in the capital, formally known as Thang Long city but today known as Hanoi. Moreover, Vietnamese martial arts were taught in "family" schools; Nhất-Nam is one of them. Due to historical difficulties it is hard to say exactly when this martial art was founded and who the first founder of it was. Nhất-Nam was mentioned for the first time in sources dating from the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. For a long time only a few people knew the secrets of this original martial art.
