Thus, just develop Vovinam in several other countries, Vietnam has the right maneuver to put it into Asiad martial. In theory it is, but in fact the movement in many Asian countries is still very thin, yet strong foundation, no team coach high level, even a little place only two dozen martial training officers to attend SEA Games standby. Still, according to Mr. Le Quoc An, Permanent Deputy Chairman World Vovinam Federation (WVVF) and Chairman of the Vietnam Vovinam Federation (VVF), dream playground put Vovinam in Asiad but also many obstacles, but there be a reality.
