Haʻawina | KUʻIALUAOPUNA

KUʻIALUAOPUNA is dedicated to making a lasting impact through education and teaching of the Hawaiian fighting art of Lua. We look to our stories, our history, and ancestral wisdom as sources of knowledge in the practice of Lua.
Every month we will be sharing stories so that connections can be made with the different cultures in our Pacific family group. These moʻolelo or short stories are told here to inspire our thinking about ourselves. They reveal the thoughts and history of a people.
