But after learning about the free martial arts class opened by Mr. Le Thinh here, I asked my mother for permission to let me and my younger brother (Nguyen Bao Binh, 9 years old) come and study. I find studying here very fun and I get to exercise too!”

Le Thinh will convey all the knowledge about traditional martial arts - traditional martial arts with 18 different levels. Currently, the class is maintaining a stable schedule on Saturday and Sunday afternoons every week and will maintain it long term if students have the desire.

The children seemed to be very interested in this subject. All of them were enthusiastic in practicing. Not only boys but also girls joined "Mr. Thinh's martial arts class" in large numbers.

In addition to this free martial arts class, Le Thinh has also opened more martial arts classes in many communes such as Nam Anh, Nam Linh, Nam Thanh... and has received support from parents and students.

Sharing his passion for this martial arts class, this martial artist said: I have also asked permission from the Nam Dan District Cultural Office to continue opening similar free classes in other communes to create a healthy playground for the children. Coming to this martial arts class, the children not only learn martial arts and improve their health, but also have the opportunity to pursue their passion for this traditional martial art.

In addition to the martial arts class at Vinh Phuc Pagoda, Le Thinh also opens many free martial arts classes in other localities in Nam Dan.
