The Kwan Ki Do Spring Cup took place in a particularly exciting atmosphere, imbued with Vietnamese culture through lion dance performances, martial spirit, and the Vietnamese language used in martial arts. Notably, the competitions of the group of autistic children focused on training in discipline, coordination techniques, and the ability to control behavior.
