 LETTER

  From G.M PHAN HOANG

  To Black-Belts and Teachers at VIETCHI TEACHERS SCHOOL

 

 Canada, March 05, 2024     ( 4903 Vietnamese calendar)

Last Saturday I taught the exercise HAN LAM CONG to participants at Club Yet-Kieu. Now I am thinking of you and want to share with you this video and the important meaning of this exercise. The original text is in Vietnamese, and here after are the essential points of its content.

 

HAN LAM CONG In a Cold Forest

On the trail covered with snow you are walking alone in this deserted wood. The weather is very cold, and you are advancing slowly. Being alone you can feel the breathing of the earth, the rhythm of the nature, and the sound of time in History. Although it is far away you however hear the war in the world today. This trail in a cold forest reveal, in a sudden, to you that in life no one can learn for you, no one can feel the cold forest for you. No Zen master can really attain the real enlightenment because real enlightenment does not exist, we can only get some knowledge about enlightenment. For a serious martial-art-master training in martial art is not for the sake of martial art. It is for discovering the utmost value hidden in martial art.  

 

To keep the ardent love of our Way in your heart against the cold weather from outside, practicing Han-Lam-Cong alone in a cold forest is likely living intensely the real moment in the life of a teacher.  (Phan Hoang, Canada March 2024)

To be a Master

  July 20, 2024

 

 

 

 

 

 

To be a Master is a choice of life towards oneself, a choice between Dignity and Mediocrity.

 Striving for dignity involves challenging oneself to act with integrity and respect, to seek continuous improvement, and to contribute positively to society. In contrast, succumbing to mediocrity means accepting the bare minimum and avoiding the risks and challenges that lead to personal and moral growth.

Hải Triều-The Tide   (hải: sea; triều:  tide)

Through a number of martial techniques, especially the Seven Hits techniques,  the form Hải Triều addresses the role of strategy in life and relates this form to a story of a traveler leaving his small island to go around the world.

Vietchidao is a modern form of martial arts that places great emphasis on both physical and mental discipline. Its training is intended to cultivate self-control, graceful movement, balance, inner-power, and a deep respect for both one-self and others. This body-and-mind discipline plays a significant role in shaping the cultural identity of a society.

THE THREE ĐÒN

THE THREE ĐÒN

In Vietnamese martial arts, the term "ĐÒN" refers to a technique of attack or counterattack. A ĐÒN can consist of a single movement or a combination of several movements.

From a strategic perspective, there are three groups of ĐÒN that a proficient fighter must understand:

1.  Đòn Thc: A real movement aimed at achieving a clear goal.

2.  Đòn Hư: A fake movement used to test a situation.

3.  Đòn La: A trap, which conceals a real movement.

Beyond technical training, it is crucial to always keep these three types of ĐÒN in mind to guide your practice. Consider how to deliver an attack that will surprise your adversary.

INTRODUCTION 

TAN VIEN is an advanced quyen (kata) for the training of Black-Belts and Teachers. This form consists of 8 Exercises which help people in building strong physical conditions and high spirit. Elite people, women and men of action could take great benefit from the training of this form.

In fact, TAN VIEN is a multi-dimension-program dealing with a number of learning subjects far beyond the scope of martial art such as Physical Action, Inner-Energy, Breathing method, Leadership, Moral Value, Strategy and Action, and Way of life.

    TAN-VIEN(full name : Tản-Viên Công)

 

Tản-Viên  (full name : Tản-Viên Công)

 Poetic name of the famous Mount Ba-Vi, about 45km north-west of the capital Hanoi, North Vietnam. This is also the name of the legendary immortal master who guards this mountain since the reign of King Hung-Vuong, many centuries B.C.  Historically this area has been a training place for many Vietnamese masters including NGUYEN NHU CAI,  NGO SOAN  (14th Century), HOANG-TO-LY (18th Century) and those mentioned on historical steles and old books such as Truyen-Ky-Man-Luc (published 16th Century), or in more recent discoveries reported in Nam-Hai-Di-Nhan  by Phan-Ke-Binh (published 1912).

Công.  In martial art, this term could mean power, result, force, hard work.  But several different meanings could be also possible: merit, respected man, a baron, public, attack. So it could also mean, for martial fighters: ‘Techniques and strategies learned from masters at the area of Mount Tan-Vien.’ . Please do not confuse Công  with another important term: GONG

 

GONG . Gong is a technique of contraction involving the whole body: muscles, organs, nervous system, inner energy,

Recommendation: Do not try to translate the title of this form of Noi-Cong training in other language. You can just say: This is a set of 8 exercises called the Tan-Vien

TAN- VIEN has 8 exercises as follows:

1.TAN-VIEN DIEU-THUY ; 2.TAN-VIEN BAO-MOC ; 3.TAN-VIEN KHAI-QUAN ; 4.TAN-VIEN LUYEN NGOC ; 5. TAN-VIEN  CUONG THU ; 6. TAN-VIEN  TRAN-BIEN ; 7. TAN-VIEN  DA-DONG-CO; 8. TAN-VIEN  QUAN-MON
