The competition provided martial arts students with valuable knowledge about martial arts, opportunities to interact, and the chance to admire elaborate and visually stunning martial arts forms. More profoundly, it aimed to contribute to the revival of traditional martial arts, especially Phật Quang Quyền (Buddha Light Fist) in Nghe An, motivating students to practice and strive for excellence, as well as assessing and evaluating the skill and training spirit of the students.
