       In 2007 , the Academy of Đại-Việt Medieval Martial Arts (Học-Viện Võ-Thuật Trung-Cổ Đại-Việt) was founded.

       And in the year of 2012 the WEBsite : http://www.votran-daiviet.org was opened for presenting the Martial Arts on Foot Fighting and on Horseback Fighting according to the ancient Tradition of Battlefields Martial Arts from Đại-Việt.

 

The Teaching ang Training Programme :

       For fulfiling the meeting between the Traditional Martial Arts and the Đại-Việt's History, our teaching and training programme includes four parts inspired by the «Rules of Ðại-Việt Medieval Military Examination» from LÝ Dynasty (1010-1225) and TRẦN Dynasty (1225-1413), above all from Posteriors-LÊ Dynasty, in the times of Lord Trịnh-Giang (1729-1740) :
