Abstract


Vietnamese Traditional Martial Arts are a cultural heritage of the Vietnamese people. This term refers to various martial arts schools and styles created, developed, preserved, and widely passed down by the Vietnamese over many generations throughout the long history of the nation. This study aims to provide information on the current state of activities in Traditional Martial Arts clubs in Duyen Hai Town, Tra Vinh Province, Vietnam. The research employs methods such as literature review, interviews, and statistical analysis to address the study objectives. The research subjects include 477 martial arts students and 18 administrators, masters, and coaches from Vietnamese Traditional Martial Arts clubs in Duyen Hai Town, Tra Vinh Province, Vietnam. Research results show that the current situation in Duyen Hai Town, Tra Vinh Province, includes 10 Traditional Martial Arts Clubs with 477 practitioners. However, facilities remain limited; management staff and coaches participate in annual training courses to enhance their professional capacity, yet the management and organization of the Traditional Martial Arts Clubs have not been regularly prioritized by managers and coaches.
