Võ-Ðạo-Việt-Nam in ESTEC exists since 2001 and this very enthusiastic group trains (at least) twice a week in ESCAPE.
The training includes traditional elements such as meditation, khi-cong as well as tai chi. There is, of course, also physical training with partner- and self-defence techniques and forms, while coordination, stretching, condition as well as physical power are equivalent elements of the training. A lot of fun comes further from training with traditional weapons like sword, sabre, lance, short and long stick to name only a few. With all this we aim to establish a balance to the office day and create harmony between body, mind and nature.
