Through their performances, the disciples show the quintessence and miracles of Nam Hong Son Martial Arts School. Martial arts master Nguyen Ty, head of Nam Hong Son Martial Arts School, said: “I am the son of Nguyen Nguyen To, alias Sau To, who is considered the founder of Nam Hong Son. The name Nam Hong Son has a great meaning. Nam means Vietnamese martial arts and Hong is Thieu Lam Hong Gia and Son refers to a magnificent mountain. Over 80 years of development, Nam Hong Son Martial Arts School has established many prestigious martial arts clubs. He added that he put much hope in Xuan Duc Martial Arts Club because this club has strict discipline and its disciples are teenagers who are the future of the country.

According to Nguyen Xuan Duc, the head of the club, the club has trained over 1,000 disciples. The club always pays much attention to the quality of training so the club does not enroll a large number of disciples. Furthermore, all the club’s disciples are wholeheartedly devoted to preserving and developing the traditional martial arts school and are ready to serve the country when necessary.
