Vietnam wins 6 gold medals at world pencak silat championship

Pencak silat is a full-body fighting form featuring strikes, grappling, and throwing, alongside weaponry.

Hoang Mai Anh was the first one to bring home a gold medal for the national team at this year’s tournament, defeating Indonesian opponent Fransiska Dewi in the final of the women’s 85-kilogram category.
