The women's competition continued to be a "stage" for Hanoi martial artists to showcase their superior strength with 6 gold medals, 1 silver medal, and 1 bronze medal. Binh Dinh ranked second (2 gold medals, 1 silver medal, 2 bronze medals), while Nghe An ranked third with 2 gold medals and 1 bronze medal.
Hanoi's dominance at the tournament not only demonstrates the depth of their team but also serves as proof of the city's sustainable and systematic sports development strategy over the past years.
This year's tournament continued to showcase the brilliance of many familiar names in Vietnamese kickboxing. Highly accomplished fighters such as Huynh Van Tuan (Ho Chi Minh City), Nguyen Quang Huy and Trieu Thi Phuong Thuy (Hanoi), and Bui Thi Yen Nhi (Hau Giang) delivered impressive performances, contributing to exciting and highly professional matches.
According to Dr. Vu Duc Thinh, President of the Vietnam Kickboxing Federation, this is an important tournament that helps coaches and experts assess professional quality, review the team's strength, and prepare for the 33rd SEA Games, which are expected to take place later this year in Thailand.
"The tournament is a good opportunity to test the form and select the best athletes for the national team," Mr. Vu Duc Thinh emphasized.
Sharing the same view, Mr. Dam Cong Dien – in charge of Boxing and Kickboxing (Vietnam Department of Physical Education and Sports) said that the outstanding athletes at this tournament will be called up to the national team, starting training from July 1st to December 31st to prepare for the regional competition.
Besides traditional strong teams like Hanoi, the Army, and Ho Chi Minh City, this year's tournament also witnessed the significant rise of several emerging localities in the Kickboxing movement.
Notably, the Bac Giang team – a highlight of the competition – surprised everyone by winning 3 gold medals, 1 silver medal, and 7 bronze medals in the men's events, placing them fourth overall. This achievement is the result of serious and systematic investment from the provincial level, and also demonstrates the strong potential for the development of kickboxing in the localities.
The President of the Vietnam Kickboxing Federation assessed that this year's tournament is not only an opportunity for top-level competition but also a chance for the sports sector to comprehensively review the development of kickboxing in localities.
The outstanding achievements at the competition truly reflect the effectiveness of training and investment at the grassroots level, thereby helping to guide the long-term development strategy for the sport.
The 2025 National Kickboxing Championship has concluded successfully, leaving many clear professional impressions and further affirming the growing appeal of this combat sport among fans.
Furthermore, the positive developments from the grassroots level to the top level also show that Vietnamese kickboxing is on the right track in its journey to integrate and conquer regional and international arenas.
