Maoli connection to Wrestling!

Wrestling was part of the makahiki games back then. There's a lot of legends that talk about Wrestling. One of theses is known as the winning of Makolea. Kepaka and Makolea are dating and makolea get's kid nap by her father because the father doesn't want them together, so Kepaka challenges the chief who's really good at Wrestling and Boxing, witch is Mokoleas dad. So Kepaka Wrestles the chief and beats him and wins his daughter Mokolea.

What are the similarities/differences between Hakoko & Wrestling?

In Wrestling you can fall on your knees and do any kind of moves.
But Hakoko you fall on your knees or if you fall period you lose.
But the same thing is that if you step out the circle your disqualified.
In hakoko only young men could train. But now anyone can train; both males and females. Wrestling is a game enjoyed by the chiefs, back then.

What is the referee's responsibility?!?

The referee's responsibility is to keep the score. If they get off task that can be a huge problem. The reefer's have to make sure they observe the wrestlers moves because it depends on the moves you do to get your score. The referee has a really important job. So If you do a good move then your score will be high and the referee will score you by how well you wrestle.

Where Are the tournaments held?!?

The Tournaments are held at Diffrent school's like kahuku or Farrigtion etc. But the tounrnaments are in the morning times and sometimes at night it depends if you in the club.

How can my Strength be Improved?!?

My strength can be improved by pushing my self to get it right. But if I want to do that I need to get my creadits up. Kulia I Ka Nu'u striving for the highest, that's what I need to do. By doing that, I need to focous and not talk to my friends and I need to just stay on the right mat by focousing and doing the wrestling moves doing the work outs, and do the same thing as everyone else. If I want to be good I need to do my shot's right and I need to bring my A game on ;) but what im try to do when I get my creadits back up im going to try and join back into Wrestling.

First time you enter the mat!

When I first went to wrestling it was very hard, intense & confusing. But is was really good cause I knew some people that wrestled there. But I met this girl and she was just like me; she didn't really know things too well about wrestling. After a while we became good friends. But when I started going to practice everyday she hardly went and if your partner does not come to practice they are affecting you because they are your resource to practice with and to train with. While being in wrestling you have to make sure your partner comes every time when you have practice.
Wrestling is a very hard and awesome sport but, you have to able to get amped very fast. In practice I had a hard time getting the moves down but I started to get the hang of it while I was going every day. Then I noticed my credits for school was not good, so I had to quit wrestling but, I wasn't too happy about it. I was really upset at myself and I just felt like I let down my team mates. I really hate my self for not trying hard enough in school. SO THAT IS THE MAIN THING PEOPLE KEEP THOSE GRADES UP AND THEN YOU CAN BE ABLE TO WRESTLE :)
