Vovinam Viet Vo Dao: the expansion of the Intercontinental Association
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An extraordinary explosion
Since 1996, the Intercontinental Vovinam Viet Vo Dao Association never stopped developping Vovinam in the world.
However, a dramatic change was created in comparison to the expansion that Vovinam have had since the 70's: actually, during more than 35 years, the development of Vovinam in the world was only limited to the countries where the Vietnamese Community had settled.
The huge revolution was that, with the foundation of this international federation, Vovinam would be practiced in much more countries. This out-of-the-range initiative is mainly the work of Master Patrick Levet.
In Red are the countries where Vovinam was introduced by Master Patrick Levet for the first time (There was no Vovinam in these countries before the work of Master Patrick Levet)
In Pink with a Red dot are the countries in which Vovinam was already present, and in which the Intercontinental federation has member developping Vovinam and opening new clubs.
In Pink are the other countries member Intercontinental Vovinam Viet Vo Dao Association.
