Recently, Văn Hiến University successfully organized the seminar titled “Effective Self-Defense Against Robbery and Theft”. The event attracted many Văn Hiến students, showcasing their awareness of potential dangers in their surroundings. It also demonstrated the university's concern for the personal safety of its students.
Trainers from the Military’s Traditional Martial Arts Team demonstrated self-defense techniques
The seminar was organized by the Student Support Center with the participation of Dr. Hoa Ngoc Thang – a martial arts master and Vice President of the Ho Chi Minh City Traditional Martial Arts Federation – along with 16th-level trainers from the Military Traditional Martial Arts Team. The seminar aimed to equip students with the necessary knowledge and skills to respond to dangerous situations that may arise in everyday life.
The seminar covered a wide range of important topics, including information on public security, common types of theft and robbery, and high-risk areas. Experts provided in-depth analysis of criminal psychology, helping students better understand the behavior of offenders to prevent and respond to such situations more effectively.
Dr. Hoa Ngoc Thang – a martial arts master and Vice President of the Ho Chi Minh City Traditional Martial Arts Federation – shared with VHUers on how to handle robbery and theft.
The practical session was the highlight of the seminar, where martial arts trainers guided students through basic yet highly effective self-defense techniques. Students had the opportunity to practice defensive moves, evasion techniques, arm locks, and takedowns in simulated scenarios.
The seminar offered VHUers practical benefits, including:
- Raising awareness about personal safety: Students gained a deeper understanding of potential risks and recognized the importance of protecting themselves.
- Equipping students with coping skills: Students learned basic skills in preventing and evading robbery as well as self-defense in dangerous situations.
- Boosting confidence: Acquiring knowledge and skills helped students feel more confident when facing difficult situations.
- Promoting community safety: Students can share the knowledge and skills they gained with friends and family, contributing to building a safer community.
