Vovinam Viet Vo Dao

You know when something happens that reminds you of something that you used to do and enjoy in the past?
This sort of thing happened to me this previous weekend when I was shopping (ironic, isn’t it?). I assisted to a martial arts demonstration. The martial art in this case was Vovinam Viet Vo Dao, a martial art that I used to practice when I was younger. I remembered what it was like to train 3 times a week, remembered that the uniform was blue and that the yellow belt is the equivalent of a black belt in other martial arts. Good memories. I could understand and name exactly what they were doing during the demo (although more than 5 years have passed :( since I’ve quit doing it). I cannot say that I was impressed by the demonstration, but that’s just me, a connoisseur. Or maybe the standards that I was used to were way higher. Who knows?
To get an idea (the flying scissors is what sets this martial art apart from others :) ):
