 History of Vietnamese martial arts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vietnamese martial arts are strongly influenced by efforts to defend the country from foreign occupations (China, France, and Japan) and also by the people whom the Vietnamese conquered (Champa and Mien).
But through thousands of years of internal, civil strifes: dynastic changes (dynasties), foreign conquests, warlordism and guerilla tactics, the Vietnamese martial art masters use what they learned from their neighbors and evolved a unique form of martial arts.
The martial arts were used by Vietnamese kings to train their troops and to defend the country especially against China's numerous attempts to re-colonize Vietnam.
