Vovinam Việt Võ Đạo Phật Đà

Woo!! Now that Term 1 grading is done, we can focus on Term 2!

Enrolments for Term 2 are now open for ALL students. The enrolment period will commence from Tuesday 16 June and close Sunday 12 July at the end of lessons. We will NOT be accepting any late enrolments.

Not sure how to join? It's actually very simple - come to a lesson (Tuesdays at 6pm OR Sundays at 2pm) and try it out. If you like it, and you're not too puffed out/sore, have a chat to one of our instructors or admin team to talk about enrolment. Please DO NOT just join via the QR code without talking to one of our team members!

See you then!!

This is a family event so bring your brothers and sisters and relatives for some fun and games!

If able, bring a plate of food to share as well so we can judge who is the best cook. We hear Thầy Vui is a pretty good cook too and Thầy Tam is pretty good at eating 😜

So come celebrate your achievements from Term 1 with a great big get together :)

See you then!

PSA: Due to a community event occuring at Phat Da Temple, Vovinam training centre will be closed from Thursday 28 May (no lessons that night), and returning on Thursday 04 June (we will be open this night).

This is not an excuse to skip training - please continue to train hard so you can be the BEST at grading!

See you on Tuesday or next week!

HAPPY MOTHERS' DAY!!

Today is the day we celebrate those who are mothers, those who are about to become mothers (including those who are trying to become mothers), and those who have had to step up to be a mother even if they're not (we're talking those single fathers, grandmothers/parents, aunties, etc.). Their nurturing ways help shape us as a human and form the building blocks of our values and growth. Without their steady foundation, we would come crumbling down.

We of course, acknowledge that this day can be hard for some.
📞For those who live far away from their mothers - we're sure they're missing you just as much as you miss them. A simple phone call can be the difference between a good day and a great day.
🤰🐣For those who are soon-to-be or new mums and questioning their every decision - your perseverance is to be commended and you should not measure success by your failures.
🌈For those who have lost their mothers - know that she is watching you now, content with the path you are paving. A rainbow needs both rain and shine.
🧸For those who have lost their child and thus someone who will call you 'mum' - your perseverance through the hardship define you as a mother and certainly does not mean you return that title. Once a mother, always a mother.

To commemorate this day, we took a stroll down memory lane (but only up to a year ago) and found some of the mothers who helped shape our Vovinam year! Of course, this by no means is a full list of all the mothers who help shape our Vovinam community - just know we appreciate all those who take on the nurturing roles!

So from all of us at Vovinam, we hope everyone celebrates their important lady in their life and have a Happy Mothers' Day.

And we hope you come to training today 🫵🙃👊

Just a reminder that there is NO training this weekend on Saturday 02 May (today) and Sunday 03 May (tomorrow).

If you show up, be prepared to be very lonely 🙃

We hope everyone takes this long weekend as a chance to recover and rest before we do the final run to grading!
