VÕ LÂM: The Vietnamese Kung Fu I Was Taught

Some lessons are too important to let disappear. In Texas during the 1980s, I studied Vietnamese kung fu under Master Quang Son. This book preserves what I remember and the training materials that survived.

A PERSONAL MARTIAL ARTS ARCHIVE

What was taught. What survived. What deserves remembering.

This is a firsthand account of the Vietnamese kung fu I was taught, not a claim to represent every school or lineage. The book brings together personal memories, surviving notes and forms, and reflections on training that still matter decades later.

THE TEACHER & THE TIME

Master Quang Son · Texas · 1980s

My recollections of learning Vietnamese kung fu and the discipline, attention, and practice that came with it.

THE SURVIVING MATERIALS

The archive includes material related to staff techniques, Iron Ring training, Iron Palm, and traditional forms. It is presented as a personal historical record, not a substitute for qualified hands-on instruction.

THE BOOK IS AVAILABLE

For martial artists, readers of training history, and anyone who believes firsthand knowledge is worth preserving.
