Hi Rick (again!)
Just had a quick flick through my copy of the John F. Gilbey
book cant see any reference to Huna in it, is it in Volume 2
of Secret Fighting Arts? I dont have that at the moment. If
it is not too long perhaps you could post a few excerpts! As to
Lua - A quick search thropugh my books revealed that
Olohe (Grandmaster) Charles Kenn is deceased but that there is
a Hawaiian Lua Association (Elua Lima) based in Orange county
California run by Kolomona "Sol" Kaihewalu. Lua has hard and soft
elements and begins with a study of Hula Kui (the soft elements)
and then on to Hula Kuilima (the hard elements). According to
John Ka'imikaua, a renowed kumu hula from Moloka'i it takes as
long to master Lua as it does to master the ancient Hula,
some 14 years!
Aloha Phil
