KEEPERS OF THE FLAME 2024
e are excited to bring back our Keepers of the Flame event this June!
Keepers of the Flame showcases the preservation of knowledge and traditions in the martial arts. This year, we are honored to train in Hawaiian Lua with Kumu Michelle Manu.
Kumu Michelle Manu
Kumu Michelle Manu is internationally known for her accomplishments as a 10th Degree Black Belt, Alihikaua (General), and Kumu Lua (teacher) of the indigenous Hawaiian cultural practice and martial art, the Lua (Kaihewalu and Manu lineages). Kumu Manu is currently the only high-ranking female teacher of this art and the only public representative of a Hawaiian woman warrior in over 200 years. She is presently the only woman to be given the designation of “Knight Commander” of the Royal Order of Kamehameha I (O’ahu Chapter), for her continued work in protecting, promoting, and perpetuating the Hawaiian culture through the Lua.
