Not the punches thrown in the ring or the prestigious medals he has won, what World Muay Thai Champion Nguyễn Trần Duy Nhất hopes to pass on to his daughter, An Nhiên, is the resilience to face challenges and the confidence to pursue the path she chooses for herself.

In the first episode of the podcast series “Dreams Unlocked” produced by Vietnam Australia International School (VAS), audiences were treated to a heartwarming and emotional conversation between father and daughter, as fifth-grader An Nhiên stepped into the role of interviewer for the first time, while Duy Nhất opened up about his thoughts and feelings with an honesty he had never before shared with his daughter. Through An Nhiên’s innocent questions and Duy Nhất’s heartfelt reflections on accompanying his daughter to competitions and the values he hopes to pass on to her, the podcast offers more than an intimate glimpse into a family deeply connected to martial arts. It also invites reflection on how children can be nurtured to develop resilience, perseverance, and the courage to forge their own path as they grow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyacvgyiIKk Nguyễn Trần Duy Nhất is widely regarded as one of the icons of Vietnamese Muay Thai.
