Vovinam Viet Vo Dao Canada
Performances
Vovinam schools in Canada regularly share their art with the community through cultural performances, with the most significant being during Tết (Lunar New Year) celebrations. In addition, our schools have performed at a variety of Vietnamese cultural events such as the Hùng Kings Ceremony, and on special requests—including the unveiling of the Vietnamese Boat People Monument in Calgary.
About
These performances provide an exciting opportunity for students to showcase their training, from synchronized forms and dynamic self-defense skirmishes to spectacular flying kicks. They also highlight the artistry of weapon forms, including the sword, staff, and đại đao, allowing audiences to experience both the discipline and creativity of Vovinam. Beyond celebration, these demonstrations serve as a bridge to the broader community, preserving and sharing Vietnamese culture while inspiring future generations.
