How to Learn the KIP-UP | Vovinam Master Huynh Khac Nguyen

How do you learn a KIP-UP? In this special Vovinam training session, Master Huynh Khac Nguyen explains the fundamental exercises and basic principles needed to learn this spectacular athletic movement.

On February 7, 2026, Vo Duong Gorla Milano welcomed Master Huynh Khac Nguyen from Vietnam for a special Vovinam training session in Milan, Italy.

🥋 Master Huynh Khac Nguyen, Technical Director of the World Vovinam Federation (WVVF), teaches our students the essential steps and progressions for learning the KIP-UP: the explosive movement used to return to a standing position directly from lying on the back.

The kip-up may look simple when performed by an experienced martial artist, but it requires:

✅ Coordination
✅ Explosive leg action
✅ Correct timing
✅ Hip mobility
✅ Confidence
✅ Proper movement progression

In this video, Master Nguyen starts from the basics, helping practitioners understand how to generate momentum, coordinate the legs and upper body, and progressively develop the complete movement.

This is not only a Vovinam technique: the kip-up is a well-known athletic movement used in martial arts, gymnastics, tricking and acrobatics.

But as always, the best way to learn is to start with the fundamentals.
