In the early stages, the club was established with the aim of providing a useful playground for students to improve their health, create a journalism environment and above all contribute to the overall development of Vovinam. After a period of operation, the club has expanded its scale not only for students in the school but also for students from other schools such as the University of Natural Sciences, Thuy Loi University, Thang Long University...

As one of the first people to lead the club, Mr. Nguyen Quang Hoa - the main coach of the club shared: "In the early stages of operation, students were hesitant to register for training, so the number of participants was small. Partly because the club did not have mats, did not have enough training equipment and few people knew about it." However, it can be seen that the Vovinam Nhan Van club is currently one of the most active and effective clubs at the school. This is proven through the achievements that the club has reaped in 2017.

At the 5th National Sports Congress (2015). Although competing with bigger opponents, the students in the Club won 01 Silver Medal and 04 sets of Bronze Medals.

However, 2017 marked a remarkable development in the competitive ability of the students in the Club. At the Northern Student Vovinam Championship (June 2 - June 4, 2017), the Vovinam Nhan Van Club brought home a total of 11 sets of medals for the National University group, including: 3 Gold medals, 2 Silver medals, 6 Bronze medals. In the end, the National University group ranked 4th in the overall ranking.

Notably, at the 9th Hanoi Sports Congress (September 25 - September 27, 2017), the Vovinam Nhan Van Club won 8 medals, including: 04 Gold Medals, 03 Silver Medals, 01 Bronze Medal, ranking 3rd overall.

This success is the result of the hard work of the club members. Pham Bang Suong (K61 Public Relations) - Head of CCLB shared: "At the recent Hanoi Sports Festival, there were some members of the team who both went to military school in Hoa Lac and practiced with great intensity because of limited time. On the day of the competition, many members were injured but still determined to go to the arena for the flag and colors, not discouraged and giving up."

Not afraid of hardship, the students at the Vovinam Nhan Van Club brought the competitive spirit of martial arts into the competition. To see that Vovinam - Vietnamese martial arts not only trains physical strength but also cultivates morality and courage in the face of all difficulties.

In addition to training activities, the Club also participates in social activities such as performing at humanitarian programs, donating blood, etc. In the near future, the Club plans to cooperate with humanitarian centers to organize a number of annual volunteer activities. Above all, that is the spirit of the slogan that the Club always aims for: Humanity - Martial Arts - Love.

Accompanying the Club throughout the past journey, Mr. Nguyen Quang Hoa commented: “The Vovinam Nhan Van Club is one of the young Vovinam clubs in Hanoi. It is a challenge for teachers and students in regional and national tournaments. The successes that the students have achieved are all formed from self-discipline. The Club has rules, training methods and a way of life when wearing martial arts clothes”.

It can be seen that the past 3 years have been a journey of hard work and practice for the members of the Club. With the spirit that the Vovinam Club always strives for, surely in the future the Vovinam Nhan Van Club will develop further, bringing the spirit of martial arts to many generations.
