Mo'olelo
KUʻIALUAOPUNA is dedicated to making a lasting impact through education and traditions in the Hawaiian fighting art of Lua. We look to our stories, our history, and ancestral practices as sources of knowledge in the profession 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 short stories are told here to inspire our thinking about ourselves. They reveal the thoughts and history of a people.
