Any martial art developed in Tỉnh (state or province) Binh Dinh is called Võ Bình Định. There are 11 huyện (counties or districts) in the Binh Dinh Region that practice martial arts. These include villages and cities within each country that contain styles ranging anywhere from 100 to 600 years old.

History

In the past, the area of Binh Dinh was the land of Champa. As of now, there are not many Cham people left which has resulted in Cham martial arts disappearing. The Chiem Thanh(Champa) martial arts are considered the origins of the traditional Binh Dinh's martial arts.[1]

There are different martial arts villages in Binh Dinh that have a diversity in styles.[2] Staff fighting is what Thuận Truyền is known for. Female fighters is what An Vinh is known for. Stronger unarmed style is what An Thái is known for. The Long Phước Pagoda uses a peaceful Buddhist view to fighting.

Vietnamese people are typically smaller in stature and the An Vinh style assumes that the opponent is not Vietnamese, making them possibly taller and stronger. With a height and strength advantage, An Vinh Style utilizes speed to overwhelm their opponents which can be seen in their empty hand forms and is more suited towards female fighters.

An Vinh Village

The founder of the An Vinh Village Style of võ Bình Định is Nguyễn Ngạc.[3] According to the villagers of An Vinh, Nguyễn Ngạc is a descendant of Bùi Thị Xuân a talented martial artist and famous general during the Tây Sơn rebellion.

An Thai Village

The founder of the An Thai Village Style of võ Bình Định is Diệp Trường Phát. Born in 1896 in An Thai village Binh Dinh province with his ethnic origins being Chinese as his parents are from Ming Xiang, China.[4] At the age of thirteen Diệp Trường Phát was sent to China to study martial arts which he later brought back to the An Thai Village after many years of intensive training.
