The Australasian Martial Arts Hall of Fame was formed in 1996 for the purpose of giving worldwide recognition to the contributions and dedication made to the industry by martial artists from all disciplines.

Nominations are accepted from instructors, students, families and friends. Nominees have met the high standards of AMAHOF; favouritism, politics, race, creed and style play no part in the selection of a nominee.

Martial Artists come from all walks of life and the AMAHOF members share a common goal, to further the essence of their chosen art and to promote good relations between styles.
Fellowship between inducted members assists in the further sharing of knowledge among the leading martial artists in the industry.
