Hawaii not always about Aloha

[pahoated]

The Tahitians that became the native Hawaiians did bring Aloha with them. But they also brought Ku, the god of war. Along with Ku, they brought a range of martial combat. There would be disputes in the villages, two men needing to fight. It would be kapu to just get in a fight in the village. So, the villagers would move off to a clear area, standing in a circle and watch the men fight, sometimes to the death. One of the martial arts systems was to block a blow with a blow, fist against fist, often breaking hands.

So, Hawaii isn't just about Aloha. In fact, Puna has a long history of being the fight capital of the Hawaiian islands.
