Mission Statement 

We are a Non Profit Organization helping children, teens and adults in building Respect, Self-discipline, Self-confidence,  Strength and Conditioning plus teaching them what Loyalty, Respect, Aloha and Honor means. I also want to give back to the community because this is how I learned and I want to "Pay it Forward"! I also want to be a Positive influence in the ones I teach. As well as keeping them away from gangs and drugs.

Our goal is to help everyone understand the True meaning of Respect. If everyone Respected one another, we wouldn't have no crimes, no war, no heartbreaks and no drama. Also Family should always be #1. Just remember to always show Loyalty, Respect, Aloha and Honor towards the ones that do the same.
