From Mrs. Thi Minh NGUYEN, wife of Founder Master NGUYEN Loc
Dear Masters, Professors and Practitioners,
I am very honored to learn that a ceremony to commemorate the Founder Master will be held during the 7th World Congress of Vovinam-Viet Vo Dao in Paris – France.
I am more touched knowing that this celebration of the foundation, organized every year, has become a beautiful tradition that marvelously illustrates the Vietnamese proverb "When you drink water, think of the source" by all practitioners of the great family of Vovinam-Viet Vo Dao.
It is a great pleasure for me to see generations of masters, teachers and practitioners have continued to promote Vovinam-Viet Vo Dao in the world while preserving in mind the recognition and gratitude to their Founder Master.
It is true that the Vovinam-Viet Vo Dao is also a precious legacy in the culture of martial arts of Vietnam. Therefore, each year, the masters, teachers and practitioners from all continents are organizing the festival of the foundation, as you will do this year to express the gratitude and recognition of practitioners to Founder Master, and, to remember together the Master's teaching: practice to strengthen the body, cleanse the spirit, and cultivate virtue, to carry out the noble mission of the promote Vovinam-Viet Vo Dao according to the principles and guidelines of the Founder Master.
In joy mixed with pride, and on behalf of my family, I extend my gratitude to all masters, teachers and practitioners present at the next Congress, and my best wishes for success for the seventh World Congress of Vovinam-Viet Vo Dao.
My warmest greetings to the great family of Vovinam-Viet Vo Dao.
