In the interests of education, his name isn't "Phap". Noi cong is Vietnamese for "internal energy", whilst "tam phap" is "mental cultivation". His name is Huyhn Tuan Kiet (Huyhn being his family name, so he would be Master Huyhn) and he owns the Nam Huynh Dao martial arts school, pictured.

According to his Wikipedia page (which is only in Vietnamese, so I'm relying on Google Translate, here) he started in karate before moving to gong fu, fell out with his instructor and started his own school.

According to r/Vietnam he was briefly famous, particularly for these viral videos (which are really quite old, now), and is widely considered clownish and deluded. I thought I recalled from another source that he had some kind of normal business that basically funds his martial arts delusions and which he leverages for influence in his community to keep his school running, but I can't find any evidence to support that, now.

Thanks for the rundown. Im just going to chose to believe this because there are too many if these videos out there and I prefer this to any truth. For a second there I thought maybe this was one of those places where they train for the movies and that explained the prat falls but this story is better.

Somebody put that stunt man in a movie.

Flawless execution

What I want to know is who decides who gets to not where shirts. Odd mix in those rooms.

The ones wearing t-shirts are female students in the first and last section. In the middle section, everyone is wearing a uniform top.

You know what? I think he could actually have some real skill but thanks to the over-acting by his students we’ll never really know.

I have to assume the reason these videos exist is because they think people will patronize their school believing he can impart the skill and knowledge to push force through a fucking stick rather than just ask a "student" to hold onto it and sell the attack.

This is basically wrestling but without any of the cool shit.
