Lua is the Hawaiian martial art — a system of combat developed and preserved by the warrior class of old Hawaiʻi. It is precise, deliberate, and deeply rooted in the understanding that the body is both weapon and responsibility.
The Yield x Waiola collaboration tag line. "Ka Hua O Ka Hana" is a deliberate translation choice. Yield's foundation is built on the idea of Product of Labor, but in ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi there isnʻt a translation for "product" nor in Hawaiian world did they believe things could be owned — not goods, not ʻāina (land). So we borrowed from the natural world instead. Hua, meaning fruit. What grows from the work you put in.
