HISTORY OF VOVINAM. Grand Master Nguyá»n Lá»c (1912 â 1960) Vovinam was founded by Grand Master Nguyá»n Lá»c in Hanoi, Vietnam, in 1938 (Wikipedia, 2012). Vovinam was a synthesis of Grand Master Nguyá»n Lá»câs family style and several traditional. martial arts styles that he studied (including traditional wrestling, or Vat).
The first of these (roughly 1973 through 1976) was caused by OPM's shift from narrati ve-style classification standards to a new approach called the Factor Evaluation System (FES). The second (roughly 1984 through 1986) resulted from a moratorium imposed by OPM (see p. 15 for a discussion of this moratoÂ­rium).
