Our mission is to honor and share the powerful art of Samoan Siva Ailao Afi,
while upholding the values of Fa'aaloalo (respect), Mamalu (honor), and Aiga
(family). By doing so, we aim to strengthen the connection between our new
generation and their cultural roots, fostering leadership within our Samoan
community.

​

Our vision is to educate both our students and the community about the importance of Samoan culture through the practice of Siva Ailao Afi. We are dedicated to training future champions who will share our culture proudly on the world stage, competing in prestigious World and International competitions, and continuing the legacy of our ancestors.
