The World Congress is also an opportunity for masters from all continents to take the degree examination, defend their thesis or be promoted to the next grade according to the "International Convention of Grades".

The organizing committee will be placed under the direction of the World Federation with the support of the Federation Vovinam Việt Võ Đạo France.

Especially, the 9th World Congress will be organized jointly with the GRT – « Grand Rassemblement Traditionnel - Great Traditional Gathering », an annual event in France to celebrate the celebration of the Vovinam Foundation Việt Võ Đạo. Thus, for this 60th anniversary of the foundation, the examination of grades which will take place on 22/05/2020 will therefore be of international level.
