Founder\/Grandmaster Nguyen Loc<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Born the 8th day of the 4th month of the lunar calendar of the year 1912, Master Nguy\u1ec5n L\u1ed9c studied with assiduity the familial wrestling style, he did not remain satisfied with this legacy and traveled throughout the country, from the beginning of 1930, in search of the essence of a unified Vietnamese V\u00f5 Thu\u1eadt (Martial Arts).
His purpose consisted in radically changing the concept of small schools or limited expansion styles, to transform it into the idea of large martial art diffusion, at national level at least. His conception of the martial art was the one of a whole set of techniques, above all efficient, even if they came from non Vietnamese martial arts (Japanese, Chinese, Western). In 1938, Master Nguy\u1ec5n L\u1ed9c synthesized his family style with the knowledge of the traditional schools that he studied and then, codified them into a teaching program. Nevertheless, the list of the styles he studied is unknown. The traditional wrestling (V\u1eadt), base of his original school, was a fundamental element of this synthesis. When the war ended, in 1954, the Geneva Convention ordered the separation of Vietnam in two, with a government traced on the Soviet model in the North. A large number of the Northern people feared having the same fate as the Chinese people after the communists came to power in 1949. Together with millions of his compatriots, Master Nguy\u1ec5n L\u1ed9c moved to the South along with most of his disciples. Master Nguy\u1ec5n L\u1ed9c became seriously ill. From 1957, his health was so bad that he had to stop teaching. He had to leave the teaching to his most advanced pupil, Master L\u00ea S\u00e1ng, who helped him in his work and was responsible for the direction of the courses.
The state of health of the Founder Master would reach a terrible point, until the fourth day of the fourth month of the Lunar Calendar of 1960, when the Founder Master passed away. Master Nguy\u1ec5n L\u1ed9c was only 48 years old and left a widow and 9 children (6 girls and 3 boys). He was buried in the M\u1ea1c \u0110\u1ec9nh Chi cemetery of S\u00e0ig\u00f2n. This cemetery would be destroyed in August 1983, and covered by new construction. The ashes of Master Nguy\u1ec5n L\u1ed9c were carefully preserved in the Altar of Master L\u00ea S\u00e1ng\u2019s V\u00f5 \u0110\u01b0\u1eddng, (V\u00f5 \u0110\u01b0\u1eddng H\u00f9ng V\u01b0\u01a1ng) at 30 Tr\u1ea7n Ho\u00e0ng Qu\u00e2n street (nowadays 31 S\u01b0 V\u1ea1n H\u1ea1nh Street), S\u00e0ig\u00f2n.
