One of my judo senseis is also a vovinam master and started a club here from scratch last year. We finally got gear and started sparring for real and I've confirmed a couple things: 1) Side kicks work, quite well actually 2) Judo definitely works in a fistfight, even without grips since I have boxing gloves on 3) I need to start jogging

In tournaments I believe it's a 3 second clinch, but our instructor wants people to get good at grappling so he doesn't enforce it in sparring. No real takedown restrictions except no sacrifice throws and nothing obviously dangerous (except, strangely enough, scissor sweeps, which is crazy coming from judo where they've been banned as super dangerous for many decades, but vovinam specializes in them). Not sure how it's all scored yet since we haven't done a tournament yet and vovinam rules are hard to find in English.

Wear gloves with a heavy bag btw, you will gently caress your hands up.
