COURTESY RAMSAY TAUM
Learn the ancient Hawaiian martial art of joint dislocation during a Lua workshop.
Almost lost to Hawaii's cultural and political changes, lua is the ancient Hawaiian martial art of joint dislocation and bone breaking.
Shrouded in mystery and perpetuated most often through families, the work of Kaihewalu and a few others has ensured that lua will survive into the next century.
Solomon, born and raised in Hawaii, now has several martial arts schools on the West Coast and in Mexico.
No previous martial arts experience is necessary but is recommended. Participants must be 16 or older. The cost is $50 for the full day ($40 for early registration) or $30 for a half day ($25 early). There are group and family rates as well. Call Taum at 394-5557 for more information.
