Dubbed “Little Leopard” by the press at the age of 16, Huỳnh Thị Ngọc Phượng made her mark early with two gold medals and one bronze medal at the 1992 National Karate Championships. More than three decades later, she remains dedicated to Ho Chi Minh City Karate as Head of Ho Chi Minh City Karate and General Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City Karatedo Federation, helping connect its traditions with successive generations of martial artists.

The Ho Chi Minh City Karatedo Federation held a conference between its Standing Committee and directly affiliated committees, presented personnel appointment decisions, formally introduced its specialist committees and initiated the activity programme for the 2025–2030 term.
