Training Camp Seminar in Iran December 2024.
Grand seminar for IVWF for referees and competition judges organised on September 26th and 27th 2024 in the city of Fardis Karaj, province of Alborz, Iran.
The Seminar was directed by Mr Hamid Khan, Head of the National Referee’s Committee of Integral Fighting System in Iran.
More than 35 referees and judges from the whole country participated in this big event.
SEMINAR IN IRAN
For the second time in the Islamic Republic of Iran was held an Integral Vovinam Seminar. From March 9th to March 10th 2021, in Tehran, Master Patrick Levet directed an International Seminar of Integral Vovinam. The dates were originally planned for March 4th and 5th, but due to Coronavirus new restrictions, the dates have been modified and posponed some days later. Anyway, the change of date did not influence at all the performing of the training session nor the content of the courses.
The courses were divided in 2 parts, one part for all athletes and instructors and the other part for the Referee Seminar.
The seminar was in fact a Webinar, well prepared by the Iranian Martial Arts Federation, a big federation regrouping more then 120 style.
Mister Afshar Shahbazi and his brother Mister Farchid Shahbazi organized everything smoothly. The participants had to sing-up in the Iranian federation office, and they all have a personel registered number. This allowed them to participate in live to the webinar.
Before the live Webinar were held filming sessions and training sessions to prepare the filmation.
Integral Fighting Techniques, as well as IVWF referee main rules, were filmed with 3 cameras. The federation would then send the shot material to the post-production to create a DVD that would be sent to all registered participants after the Webinar.
As usual in Itan, we appreciate the good spirit of all the instructors and athletes and their nice way to welcome Master Patrick Levet in their country during these 7 days stay in Iran. Many thanks also for the translators who helped during the training sessions, and especially to Mister ALi Fati, MMA speciallist and International coach.
Iranian people is great and we are proud to have them in our IVWF organisation.
SEMINAR IN IRAN
For the 1st time in the Islamic Republic of Iran was held an Integral Vovinam Seminar. From March 14th to March 17th 2018, in 3 cities near Tehran, Master Patrick Levet directed a National Seminar of Integral Vovinam.
The courses were divided into 2 groups, Male and Female, except for the Referee Seminar group, which was mixed.
The overall seminar was well prepared; Mister Afshar Shahbazi did a very good job.
Although there were much work to do technically speaking.
In fact, because of the bad work of the Vietnamese World Vovinam Viet Vo Dao Federation during the past years, only worried about « having countries to form an Asian federation », almost none of the former Vovinam Viet Vo Dao instructors barely knew anything about Vovinam Viet Vo Dao technical programme at all.
Horrible fact: after only a few years of practice, there are about 30 « Red Belts » in the country; fake Red Belts that do not have even the Blue Belt level in Vovinam Viet Vo Dao.
So, at the time to study and assimilate the Integral Vovinam techniques, everything had to be done from the beginning. Almost no one had real basics in Vovinam.
Regarding the fighting abilities of the Iranian athletes, a very good potential has been found there.
Iranian men, women and boys and girls are warriors. They can reach good level in Integral Vovinam in the future.
The courses of this seminar were focused on the preparation for the next World Cup 2018 in Morocco.
We appreciate the good spirit of all the instructors and athletes and their nice way to welcome Master Patrick Levet in their country during these 4 days of hard workout. Many thanks also for the translators who helped during the training sessions. Iranian people is great and we are proud to have them in our organisation.
