These are the words that describe the Koa Warriors of ancient Hawai'i. Raised and bread in a land of hunters and fishers, the Koa were trained in the art of close quarters weaponry which they mastered in the topography of steep canyons, deep jungle, and rolling seas.

Koa were the elite warrior class, and their legacy is the stuff of legend in the eight Islands of the Hawaiian archipelago.

Watch the competition entries surge forward in honor of the Koa and their home Hawai'i.
