The muaythai family is deeply saddened by the passing of Zack Taumafi.
 
Zack was one of the pioneers of martial arts and muaythai in Samoa and Australia and in his later years in the United Arab Emirates.
 
Zack was known for his pleasant personality, character and his innovative approach. Our deepest sympathies go to his family as we understand that they are all in our thoughts and prayers.
 
As we all grieve the departure of a true friend and martial art brother we must rejoice over what he has left behind.
 
Certainly above all his family, his many students he has taught martial arts to and the code of respect and honour and through this, a great person never dies.
 
Let us celebrate his life.
