ĐỘC LƯ THƯƠNG

This form translates as poison spear, and according to the traditional Martial Arts Association of Vietnam, it originated in the western highlands (modern day An Khe, Gia Lai Province), when the three brothers of the Tay Son Rebellion: Nguyen Nhac, Nguyen Hue/Quang Trung, and Nguyen Lu worked together. The three conquered the region quickly during 1770, and as battle-hardened warriors who were skilled in the use of swords and spears, they made a collective effort to devise their own fighting system. The product of their labor was Độc LưThương. Their idea was to allow each unit to be trained in a uniform battlefield style—thus the form is intended to represent unity. It is fast and explosive, generally using a six-foot-long spear with a foot-long tip and contains forty-one moves.
