LIMALAMA NO-KA-OI
Limalama, meaning "hand of wisdom" in Polynesian, was founded with the help of Grandmaster Richard Nuñez in 1965. Initially part of the Limalama organization formed by six masters, he later established his own extension, infusing it with his style and curriculum. Thus, Limalama, the Original NO-KA-OI, was born, renowned for its unique philosophy and martial arts approach.

“No-Ka-Oi is Ohana first, Richard made it clear that we are all family. We love and trust one another, with his famous quote of - we don’t lie, we don’t cheat, and we don’t steal. He also wanted us to understand that Limalama No-Ka-Oi is a street fight, there are no rules or regulations. So for me the Original No-Ka-Oi is a way of life.”
