The story

Binh Dinh Traditional Martial Arts Festival in Quy Nhon

The Binh Dinh Traditional Martial Arts Festival is a biennial international gathering of Vietnamese-style martial arts practitioners staged in Quy Nhon and at the Tay Son homeland sites associated with the eighteenth-century Tay Son uprising. It brings together domestic clubs and overseas delegations who practice Vietnamese-origin martial arts schools.

Binh Dinh's identification with Vietnamese martial arts predates any single festival: the province is popularly known across Vietnam as mien dat vo, the land of martial arts, a reputation rooted in its association with the eighteenth-century Tay Son uprising and its most famous leader, Nguyen Hue, who defeated northern and southern rivals as well as an invading Qing army before reigning as Emperor Quang Trung.

02

The mystery stays covered

Programming is tied to the legacy of the Tay Son brothers, whose eighteenth-century uprising and Nguyen Hue's later reign as Emperor Quang Trung are closely associated with Binh Dinh's martial tradition, giving the festival a historical anchor beyond sport
