VÕ LÂM: The Vietnamese Kung Fu I Was Taught

A rare personal journey into Vietnamese martial-arts history.

What happens when the teachings of a martial-arts master survive not in a modern textbook, but in the memories of a student and the original training documents he preserved?

In the 1980s, Theodore “Ted” Johnson studied Vietnamese kung fu under Master Quang Son in Texas.

Decades later, he began gathering those memories and surviving materials into a book unlike a conventional martial-arts manual.

Inside VÕ LÂM, discover:

• Personal memories of traditional Vietnamese kung fu training
• Historical training sheets and handwritten forms
• Stances, strikes, and traditional movement sequences
• Iron Ring and Iron Palm training material
• Staff forms and archival illustrations
• Reflections on the importance of preserving martial-arts knowledge

This book is a personal historical archive, not a comprehensive instructional or self-defense manual.

A distinctive gift for the martial-arts enthusiast who already has everything.

Whether you're a student of traditional kung fu, an instructor, a collector, or simply fascinated by martial-arts history, VÕ LÂM offers a firsthand perspective on training and teachings rarely encountered in modern publications.
