The Copyright Department under Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism has issued the certificate of copyright registration for martial arts music. The development of martial arts music, therefore, needs focusing on.

The martial arts music has become well known thanks to tour operators. Those who visited Quang Trung Museum, thus, wanted to enjoy the performance of martial arts music.
“We still need one or two people who could perform martial arts music,” said Nguyen Xuan Ho, head of martial arts music group. “Ninth or tenth graders could the best selection for they will be able to perform well after graduating from high schools.
They would be trained at the museum because there is now no class for martial arts music, he added. They should also know some techniques to make their performance more attractive.
The artist Trieu Dang said he was invited to teach a girl called My Nu in 1984, aiming to help her perform at festivals.
At present, he is teaching two students. They have known some basic techniques, but they still need much patience and show much enthusiasm for martial arts music.
