In 2003, teacher Do Dinh Kien (currently the
Principal of Luong Son district Boarding Secondary and High School for Ethnic
Minorities) and teacher Vu Tran Hung (teacher of Luong Son High School) laid
the foundation for the establishment of the Luong Son High School Youth Union’s
Karate Club. At that time, the club operated with 30 participants. It then
changed its name to the Luong Son Karate Club, which currently has over 400 members
of all ages, and 11 training venues. Although there are still many
difficulties, the club has always paid attention to, and invested in purchasing
equipment and tools, gradually meeting the needs of practice, exchange and
competition.
Coach Vu Tran Hung, head of the Luong Son Karate
Club, shared that the numbers of martial artists and training venues are quite
large, but the club always focuses on the quality of teaching, training and
martial arts spirit. Each training session lasts 90 minutes, martial artists
not only learn basic to advanced techniques and tactics, but also have training
in ethics, discipline, solidarity, and the will to overcome difficulties so
that they can improve themselves physically, mentally, and morally. Every
quarter, the club organises rank upgrade exams for martial artists according to
regulations.
Under the guidance of coach Vu Tran Hung and the
efforts of each martial artist, the Luong Son Karate Club has participated in
many tournaments inside and outside the province, winning a lot of impressive
achievements. Most recently, at the 5th Open Karate Club Championship of Hoa
