My wife has studied Vo Vi Nam with a guy named Mr. Long whose gym is near the Hanoi Hotel (around the corner from the Amsterdam School).
virezo lists the facility above:
"'October 10th' Club
Address: Youth's School of Sports October 10th - Tran Huy Lieu st. - Giang Vo area - Ba Dinh st.
Class time: Wed, Sat. 19:30-21:15
* Good equipment"
Some of his assistants speak English and they gladly accept foreign students.
My wife would introduce you if you'd like:

I am told that I can ask the students ard here, but the hostel I am staying in now is empty cos it is summer hols and I do not want to wait until sch term starts to resume my karate practises! THanks guys for your help!
