\nH\u00c0 N\u1ed8I \u2014 Vi\u1ec7t Nam’s leading fighters are preparing for another continental title challenge as they target a successful defence of their crown at the Asian Vovinam Championships 2026 in Cambodia.<\/p>\n

Twenty-two national team athletes have been selected for the tournament, with experienced competitors Nguy\u1ec5n Thanh Li\u00eam, \u0110i\u1ec3u Trung and Ph\u1ea1m Th\u1ecb Ki\u1ec1u Giang expected to spearhead Vi\u1ec7t Nam’s medal campaign.<\/p>\n

Emerging talents, including Tr\u1ea7n Th\u00e0nh \u0110\u00f4, Nguy\u1ec5n Xu\u00e2n Th\u00e0nh, Nguy\u1ec5n V\u0103n H\u1ee3i and Nguy\u1ec5n Th\u1ecb S\u1eed, are also among the squad as Vi\u1ec7t Nam seeks to maintain its position as one of the sport’s dominant forces.<\/p>\n

The championships will be held from November 21 to 27 at the National Olympic Stadium in Phnom Penh and are expected to attract hundreds of leading martial artists from across Asia.<\/p>\n

Vi\u1ec7t Nam dominated the previous edition of the tournament two years ago, winning 15 gold medals to top the standings. The team is aiming to retain that title this year.<\/p>\n

Vovinam, also known as Vi\u1ec7t V\u00f5 \u0110\u1ea1o, is a Vietnamese martial art founded in 1938 by grandmaster Nguy\u1ec5n L\u1ed9c. The discipline combines traditional Vietnamese techniques with elements drawn from various martial arts around the world.<\/p>\n

Known for its distinctive flying scissor kicks, vovinam blends hard and soft techniques while promoting self-defence skills, physical fitness and mental discipline. \u2014 VNS<\/p>\n
