This foundation is who we are and where we come from, and all that comes after is what we will use to build and continue to build for all generations to come on and off the mat.

Kukui leaf represents knowledge and enlightenment. "A'ohe pau ka 'ike i ka halau ho'okahi: all knowledge is not taught in the same school". We want to empower continuous education on and off the mat. Kalo represents 'ohana, family. To remain rooted to our core values and upbringing and represent our team and family in all aspects.
