Coach Van Kin explained to Thanh Nien Newspaper: "I use a small bamboo stick 50 cm long in teaching. However, that bamboo stick is for me to correct the movements of the martial artists. In addition, I use the bamboo stick to perform challenges, to increase the speed and strength of the martial artists."
