The Congress of the Nghe An Martial Arts Federation for the term 2013-2018

(Baonghean.vn) -On the afternoon of October 20th, the Nghe An Martial Arts Federation held its General Assembly for the 2013-2018 term.

The congress aims to review the results of activities during the period 2005-2012, discuss future directions, and propose more effective solutions for the period 2013-2018 and beyond.

The report presented at the congress indicated that martial arts are a sport that attracts a large number of people, especially young people. Currently, there are 40 martial arts clubs operating regularly in our province, including 24 Karatedo clubs, 8 Traditional Martial Arts clubs, and 8 Vovinam clubs, each with 25 to 30 students (in the summer, the number of students in each club increases to over 50).

Over the years, martial arts disciplines have contributed numerous gold, silver, and bronze medals to Nghe An's high-performance sports. From 2005 to 2010, the Provincial Sports Training Center had six martial arts disciplines receiving intensive training to participate in national sports competitions, including: Karatedo, Taekwondo, Wushu, Pencak Silat, Traditional Vietnamese Martial Arts, and Boxing, with a total of 80 athletes. From 2011 to the present, the Provincial Sports Training Center has added Kick-boxing, bringing the total number of martial arts disciplines in Nghe An's high-performance sports to seven with 100 athletes. The Provincial Sports Training Center is currently proposing to add Vovinam to the high-performance sports training program to participate in domestic and international competitions.

The Executive Committee for the 2013-2018 term was introduced at the congress.

Delegates attending the Congress discussed and contributed many ideas to promote the martial arts training movement in Nghe An province, and at the same time find solutions to help Nghe An martial arts athletes achieve more success for high-performance sports in Nghe An.
