In the Vietnamese spirit, it is unacceptable to allow a fighter to seek a win by continuing to punch the body of his rival lying unconsciously in the ring, which is typical of mixed martial arts matches.
This is not sportsmanship in the eyes of Vietnamese people, said Vietnamese martial arts Vovinam master Vo Van Chieu about mixed martial arts (MMA), which has become increasingly popular around the world.
Many other Vietnamese martial arts masters agreed with the judgment about MMA and added that it should be modified so that the sport can be organized for official competition in Vietnam.
