Van Tay Pham

Inducted into the A.M.A.H.O.F. (Inc) and W.K.U.H.O.F. for 2025
Continual Excellence and Service to the Australasian Martial Arts Community

Van Tay started his martial arts journey at 16 years of age in the mid-90s. He had always been drawn to Martial Arts from watching action movies featuring actors like Jean-Claude Van Damme, Jacky Chan, and Bruce Lee. He has spent many years in training in various styles such as Taekwondo, Karate, Wushu, BJJ & Kick-Boxing.
His current focus is on Hapkido under Master Fari Salievski for the last 25yrs. This pursuit has taught me the value respect, humility and self-discipline.

Martial Arts have become an integral part of who he is. Practice had taught me the value of hard work, discipline and mental resilience. Van Tay looks forward to continue his Martial Arts journey, passing on the knowledge he has gained to the next generation of students. He also wishes to continue to share the culture of martial arts performance during the end of year community festival.
