Description
Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park’s annual Cultural Festival, normally scheduled the first Saturday in July for nearly 40 years, will instead be held virtually on social media due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Join us each day July 5 through July 11 on our Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/hawaiivolcanoesnps/ to participate.
Hawaiian Lua (Martial Arts) with Ranger Michael & Ranger Olivia. Bone-breaking maneuvers and war clubs encircled with tiger-shark teeth are probably not the first things to come to mind when you picture the Hawaiian Islands. The Hawaiian fighting style of lua is a formidable art form that requires skill, specific movement and a host of deadly weapons. Rangers Michael Newman and Olivia Crabtree demonstrate this traditional fighting style.
