00:00Thank you for listening.
05:18Viet Vodau also features training in the use of various weapons.
05:34This training takes place when the student has reached a certain grade.
05:39Things include the sabre, axe, stick, holberd, sword and the fan.
06:09Viet Vodau is best known for its scissor technique, which consists of striking or grasping the opponent
06:34with one's legs.
06:35This can be aimed at the legs as well as the neck.
07:05Viet Vodau is therefore renowned for its spectacular acrobatic displays.
07:14There are over 20 different scissor techniques which can be used.
07:18Training in scissor techniques starts with attacking the legs before gradually working its way up
07:23to the neck.
07:36I'm going to go back to the back.
07:43Let's go!
07:45Let's go!
07:46Let's go!
08:13Let's go!
08:19Contrary to what you might expect, there are many women practicing martial arts in Vietnam and throughout the rest of the Indo-Chinese peninsula.
08:43Let's go!
09:03Viet Vodau also involves mock battles between two people.
09:07These are known as Song Lu Yen and are generally featured in demonstrations or grading sessions.

09:37Hello?

09:43Hanoi is a flourishing city.
09:53With an estimated population of 7 million, the city is perpetually expanding.
09:59For the last few years, motorcycle traffic has created severe congestion,
10:03and the city has an ever-increasing number of motorcycle taxis.
10:07In order to reduce this congestion, various underground railway building projects are underway.
10:13For more information, visit www.fema.org and visit www.fema.org.
10:43There are few shopping centers in Vietnam.
10:48However, there are many markets where the Vietnamese do their shopping.
10:52Vietnamese is one of the rare Southeast Asian languages to use the Roman alphabet,
10:57meaning Westerners can read the words without difficulty.
11:01However, the language is tonal,
11:04so the same word may have several different meanings depending on how it is pronounced.
11:07Prices are displayed in dong, the Vietnamese currency.
11:18In early 2015, one US dollar was worth around 21,000 dong,
11:23which explains why the price for a simple sweet treat may have several zeros at the end.
11:28Vietnamese cuisine is influenced by Chinese cuisine,
11:38with the difference that it uses fewer sauces and more herbs and vegetables.
11:43One particular ingredient is unique to Vietnamese cuisine,
11:47Nhuok Nam, a salted fermented fish sauce, which is used as a seasoning.
11:51One particular ingredient is unique to the Japanese cuisine,
12:21Outside of the markets, there is also a great number of itinerant traders, whose stalls
12:37are more rudimentary but still attract many customers.
12:41The old town is in sharp contrast with the new town.
12:45Because of its growing population, Hanoi is constantly assimilating neighboring towns.
12:50Nowadays, skyscrapers are appearing in some districts, full of flats to house a new, more
12:55affluent generation.
13:14Hanoi sits on the banks of the Red River Delta.
13:17But the real natural treasure lies a few hundred kilometers away.
13:24One of Vietnam's main tourist attractions is Ha Long Bay, which is classified as a UNESCO
13:31World Heritage Site.
13:33It's a large expanse of water with thousands of small rocky islands and a good few creeks.
13:40In 2011, Ha Long Bay was recognized as one of the seven natural wonders of the world.

14:07Ha Long Bay was recognized as one of the most indigenous nations

14:14It is a high-level location in the west, in the south of the 1960s, and in south of the
14:15mountains.
14:16Through the north of the city, Ha Long Bay was recognized as one of the slammary
14:18hank of the mountains, and in the south of the south of the island.

14:27Many of the islets even have grottos
14:56leading to interior lakes.
15:26Many of the islets also have a wealth of magnificent landscapes, including Phong Nha Ke Bang National
15:48Park and Nha Trang Bay.
15:54Many of the islets also have a wealth of magnificent landscapes, including Phong Nha.
16:04A private museum near Saigon houses a large collection of Vietnamese traditional costumes.
16:26Over the years, fashion has evolved.
16:36Clothing has become more than just something to wear, but also an expression of social standing,
16:40mentality and history.
16:45Different styles help to distinguish social rank, financial status and Vietnamese mindset
16:50and other places down the years.
20:20As well as the choreographed battles used for demonstrations or gradings, Viet Vodau
20:40also features real competitive bouts.

22:06Viet Vodau is governed by ten principles and a motto.
22:34The motto is, be strong to be useful, and the first of the principles is to strive to
22:41reach the highest level in order to be able to serve one's fellow man.
22:47Practitioners must excel in every aspect of the art, whether it be hand-to-hand combat
22:51or the use of weapons.
22:53Others include sabers, halberds and fans, which were the weapon of the nobility.
23:07Practitioners must observe the code of conduct and place honour above all else.
23:11They must also live an honest, modest and noble life.
23:26A Viet Vodau practitioner must develop a will of steel in order to overcome difficulty and
23:50all the challenges life throws up.
23:53This will only be possible if they train and work hard to forge their spirit and lead
23:57a humble and benevolent life.
24:23In Viet Vodau, as in most martial arts, every demonstration or fight ends with a salute
24:34in three movements.
24:44Hanoi is alive day and night, a constant flow of cars criss-crosses the city.
25:13Lining the roads are many little temporary betting booths where people can place bets.
25:39They will stop there for a few moments before leaving with their chit.
26:06Vietnam's capital is divided into four districts, some old and some more modern.
26:12In the old town, certain districts or streets are entirely dedicated to a specific trade or
26:17business.
26:23As well as traditional shops, Hanoi also has a great number of street vendors and small trading
26:28booths, where many Vietnamese do their regular shopping.
26:33But in recent years, Hanoi has experienced a demographic boom, which is why many neighboring provinces have been subsumed by the metropolis.

27:13One of the most revered temples in Hanoi
27:42is the literature temple founded in 1070.
27:47It's a Confucian temple in the west of Hanoi's old town.
27:53Many Vietnamese come to visit it, and it's the city's main tourist attraction.
27:59It's mainly frequented by school children and students.
28:05It's divided into five separate walled courtyards, with its main alleyways reserved for noblemen
28:11and narrower alleys used by servants.
28:16The nobility used to send their children to study literacy here, so that they could be well-read and become civil servants.
28:23The children of the many dynasties came here to learn the teachings of Confucius.
28:28Traditionally, during the revision period before exams, the youngsters come here to revise, as this is believed to bring good luck.
28:47The great pavilion in the fourth courtyard houses the statue of Confucius, surrounded by his four closest disciples.
29:06This is the most sacred part of the temple, which explains why the students come here to revise and pray.
29:12Thanks to the French school of the Far East, the literature temple was restored several times during the 20th century.
29:25The 100,000 dong banknote features the image of one part of the temple,
29:31the well of heavenly clarity which lies in the third courtyard.
29:36The well of heavenly clarity which lies in the third courtyard.
29:38Theopolitan religious maison is in the fourth courtyard.
30:23So, I'm going to go to the next episode of the World War II.
30:53Everything in Hanoi happens on the back of a motorbike, even drinking beer and, of course, rice wine.
31:12So if you plan to visit Vietnam in the near future, be assured that beer will be part of the itinerary.
31:19The Vietnamese consider beer to be the perfect accompaniment to a meal.
31:23This may seem strange, but the Vietnamese like to drink their beer with a huge ice cube.
31:32Ice cellars also provide the wherewithal to cool down bike saddles heated by the burning sun.
31:53They offer beer with a lot of water, over 30 to 30 bucks.
31:58They also provide water and water to dry.
32:02The Japanese also provide the water to the translucent ofhampton.
32:05The Japanese is a very delicious encounter.
32:09They also provide for the mean water and water.
32:11I don't know.
33:11One of the ten principles of Vietvodau is that knowledge must be acquired dutifully and that the art should be passed on to the new generation.
33:22As in all sports, children begin their training with a warming-up session in order to reduce the risk of injury.
34:11Even the very youngest children can learn Viet Vo Dao from the age of three.
34:18Many Vietnamese parents enroll their children into classes.
34:22Learning a martial art, particularly Viet Vo Dao, helps to instill a sense of sportsmanship and respect for the rules,
34:29so the children can develop their sense of team spirit and cooperation.
34:41Practicing Viet Vo Dao helps children to develop their motor skills and channel their energy.
35:04From their very earliest years, they learned the different moves of Viet Vo Dao.
35:10Mainly the arm locks.
35:40I think you can use Viet Vo Dao.

36:25At this age, rather than being a combat sport, it's a normal sporting activity for the children to enjoy.
36:55The younger children also try to learn the different choreographies mastered by the older ones,
37:08which will help them work their way through Vietvordal's different levels.

38:19At this age, as long as we have seen as a combat sport, it's a normal sport.
38:24At this age, as long as we have seen it, the last age, the last time we have seen it.
39:29Viet Vodau has come a long way in the last decade and has acquired many new devotees of all ages.
39:52More and more parents are enrolling their children in Viet Vodau classes,
39:56as over and above combat skills, it also teaches noble principles such as comradeship, perseverance, love and respect.
40:14In the south of Hanoi, there's a lake known to all Vietnamese.
40:21Legend has it that once upon a time, the king discovered a sword in a fishing net
40:25and used it in all his wars, notably the one where the Chinese were expelled from the kingdom and peace restored.
40:33With the war over, the king enjoyed taking boat trips on the lake.
40:41One day, the golden turtle god emerged from the depths of the lake and snatched the sword from the king.
40:47The king realized that the golden turtle had entrusted him with the sword
40:54and had come to take it back once peace reigned again, as he had no use for it.
41:02Succeeding dynasties have embellished the banks of the lake ever since.

41:34In days gone by, there were a great many turtles in the lake, but no longer.
41:59But to see a turtle in the lake today is seen as a good omen for the coming weeks.
42:04In Vietnam, as in other cultures, turtles symbolize longevity and wisdom.
42:15It can be a large amount of daisy to come to the lake and keep up with the lake.
42:32Despite the country's strong sense of
43:02tradition, the Vietnamese love to go out, have a drink, and enjoy themselves.
43:09Vietnam, and particularly Hanoi, blends modernism and tradition.
43:16Hanoi is the epitome of a booming city.
43:21Many tourists, especially young Westerners, come to the country to experience this festive atmosphere.
43:32Unlike some cities, Hanoi is full of life, even very late at night.

45:00Hanoi has many ancient trees, hundreds of years old, which are classified as part of UNESCO's World Heritage.
45:06In spite of the city's development, the area around the trees has been preserved.
45:11In summertime, many youngsters and their families go out at night and meet up in the squares where these trees stand.

46:13In summer, because it's too hot to go out during the daytime,
46:31there are many forms of entertainment available to the Vietnamese in the evenings.
46:36Concerts, puppet theatres, or outdoor cinemas.
46:43It's also a good first-league theme song.

47:29In the Viet Vo Dao Dojo, the children can learn lots of different choreographies to
47:33perform at shows.

49:20It has to be remembered that Viet Vodau's motto is be strong to be useful.
49:25The idea is to be strong mentally as well as physically,
49:29and to be helpful to others.
49:31The blue color of the uniform represents immensity,
49:34the purity of the skies and the oceans.
49:37Because the future of any culture, any sport,
49:40and the values they embody is reliant on good communication
49:43to the next generation,
49:44Viet Vodau masters do all in their power
49:47to pass on the art to the younger generation.
49:50Viet Vodau is a complete martial art, harmonizing body and spirit,
50:11attack and defense, power and grace of movement.
50:15Just like its hugely popular martial art,
50:20Vietnam is a nation that has found equilibrium between tradition and progress.
50:26Vietnamese have lived for centuries amidst a moral and religious universe,
50:31built on beliefs and values issuing from the cult of ancestor worship,
50:35Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism.
50:38But Vietnam has also been heavily influenced by Western culture,
50:44whether it be its cinema, its music, architecture or literature.
50:49Despite being supposedly communist,
50:52Vietnam remains a very open country,
50:54where all the same brands can be found as in the West.
50:57Vietnam is a country which is constantly developing,
51:01while trying to preserve its ancient traditions.
