Lua
(Contributor: Stephen Kurtzman - stephen@kurtzman.com)
Lua is the Royal Hawaiian martial art. In the 1800s the royal
Hawaiian family decreed that the art would be restricted to members
of the royal Hawaiian family (In fact, it is still illegal to
practice the art in the state of Hawaii). Since the 1980s, the
veil of secrecy to non-Hawaiians has started to lift with the
open teaching of the art in Southern California by Alohe Kolomona
Kaihewalu.
Lua is a form of combat which resembles Jujutsu in some of its
moves. The primary emphasis of the art is joint dislocation.
