VietNamNet Bridge – Lam Son Dong is a form of Vietnamese martial arts created by Luong Ngoc Huynh in 1990, based in Hanoi. Over two decades Lam Son Dong has admitted thousands of members and achieved 27 records in the “Odd Things in Vietnam” category.
Nguyen Ngoc Hai, Vice-Chair of the Hanoi Martial Arts Association and Acting Chief of Lam Son Dong martial arts sect, told VietNamNet that this sect considers “wisdom – strength – energy – heart – nature” as the path to perfect humans. He added the most necessary aspect of a Lam Son Dong practitioner is patience and a pure mind.
Hai said that anybody can practice Lam Son Dong and there are suitable lessons for people of different ages.
