Telling Warrior Stories with Hula

[@Fujjums]

Good choice talking with Ke Kai o Kahiki when discussing the more "rugged" side of hula, this are probably some of the most athletically well trained dancers at Merrie Monarch. Need look no further than their win in 2009 to prove that!

[@peneleapai]

Beautiful 🌺

[@MsObsidianReloaded]

That is a perfect word "rugged". Most people associate hula with women but forget the male archetype of the dance. I am of African heritage so I can relate to the dance style. ***Disclaimer: I am NOT saying Pacific Islanders are of African descent, yada yada like some people boast about *** I just want to make that clear before I cause a firestorm of racial/ethnic tension in the comment section. I would love to see more videos like this. 💞🔥💞🔥

@@MsObsidianReloaded My Ancestors were mostly of European decent but I 100% get what you mean. Male Hula pulls me in with it's energy. I have been fortunate enough to dance with our island cousins at a graduation party recently and it felt really good. I understand why, but it feels bad that you need a disclaimer. We all could benefit from more Aloha in our lives.

It's really beautiful and I love being Polynesian but the sad thing is that only a small percent of Hawaiians actually know and dance hula. The language and culture is disappearing.

Both the men and women depicting stories of Hawaii’s origins, the deities they once worshipped , live and marriage. These dances show off the beauty of masculinity! It is wonderful that the Hawaiian people are able to celebrate their beautiful culture! That they celebrate both the masculine and the feminine! One can be both powerful and graceful, can be strong as well as gentle, celebrating both the beauty and strength of men! And using the gift of hula to not only preserve and share in their culture, but to be better men and better people! Mahalo for sharing this with us ! Aloha, and A hui ho !

Such a great video showing the masculine side of hula. Others can now see it ain't just women in coconut bras and grass skirts and what they see advertised. I use to help my aunty instruct hula lessons and Olelo Hawaii (Hawaiian language) in Waikiki. Admission was free. She did it for the love it all and wanted to give foreigners who were interested a sneak peak at our Hawaiian culture. I can't count the many baffled faces I've seen. People don't know that Hawaii is much more than another tourist spot and our Hawaiian culture is not just big tanned guys and women with long hair. Hula especially is much more than what people see in pictures, books, or tv. If your interested in learning the dance of hula, you must learn the language and culture first. You must learn what you're singing/chanting before you learn the steps of the any song. The dances and chants you see are stories. Stories passed down by ancestors. This is how our Hawaiian and all Polynesian cultures lives on. We are not as big of a nation but our pride, dedication, and courage is what keeps our culture so pure and strong.

I got in a few licks but he pretty well beat me up. One of my Hawaiian friends whos last name was Kamaka found out what that guy did to me he found him and beat him to a bloody pulp. I considered all my Hawaiian friends as my brothers. I married a half Portuguese Hawaiian girl and have been married of 45 years. We eventually moved to the mainland.

I never understood their hatefulness toward me as a Black woman alone since when they were invaded and taken over, my ancestors were already enslaved all over the world. I missed so much of the PEOPLE of the islands I came to love. This was an indication that SHE, the Island did not think it was good for me to be there and so I left.
