In fact, it was three decades ago when everything seemed to be guiding him toward a life of wearing mawashis and battling rikishi in dohy\u014ds.<\/p>\n<p>Older brother George had made the move to Tokyo in 1988 to join the professional sumo wrestling ranks as Yamato G\u014d, and his best friend, Chad Rowan \u2014 who would go on to compete as Akebono Tar\u014d and become the first non-Japanese-born wrestler to reach the sport\u2019s highest rank of yokozuna \u2014 had preceded George by just a few months.<\/p>\n<p>So, when it was time for Kalima to graduate from high school in 1993, he felt prepared because he had already been anticipating a long stay in the Land of the Rising Sun. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was the biggest guy at Kaiser High School taking Japanese. No football player takes Japanese \u2014 not one lineman, and not someone from Waim\u0101nalo \u2026 from homestead,\u201d recalls Kalima, who had also spent two summers in Tokyo training at a beya, or sumo stable. \u201cBut I\u2019m taking Japanese, I\u2019m taking keyboarding, I\u2019m taking shorthand \u2014 just to prepare for my eventual move.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet, like some sumotori performing a well-executed uchigake, fate would ultimately trip up his best-laid plans.  <\/p>\n<p>Around the time of his graduation, sumo stables stopped actively recruiting foreign wrestlers due, in part, to concerns over sport dilution, and that left Kalima and other young hopefuls not knowing what they should do.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps surprisingly, the then-18-year-old refused to waste time lying on life\u2019s mat after being floored by the sudden turn of events. Instead, he got back on his feet and began focusing on his own culture.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI came to that fork in the road and I was like, \u2018You know what? I\u2019m going to be a part of the \u2018Ohana Council and the Hawaiian sovereignty movement and everything else, and I\u2019m going to go to the University of Hawai\u2018i at M\u0101noa and learn about my history, my culture and my language,\u2019\u201d says Kalima, who eventually earned degrees in Hawaiian studies and elementary education. <\/p>\n<p>These days, the large man who once had big sumo aspirations spends his time impacting others in two main ways: first, as an advocate and leader for the nonprofit N\u0101 Kua \u2018\u0100ina O Waim\u0101nalo; and second, as a teacher at \u2018Aiea Intermediate School, where he encourages students to embrace their Hawaiian history and learn concepts such as \u201cbuilding relationships first, relevance next and then rigor.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The result is someone who is quite proud of where life\u2019s path has led him and, more importantly, who he\u2019s become.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI got into teaching and community advocacy not for the income, but for the outcome,\u201d Kalima says. \u201cI still believe I can make a difference because I believe in the power of one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By \u201cone,\u201d Kalima is referring to his single-minded pursuit of restoring pride, hope and commitment in residents of his beloved Waim\u0101nalo, which, like other communities, faces its share of economic, educational and cultural challenges.<\/p>\n<p>His unwavering mission to help and inspire others will be manifest when thousands gather for the first-ever Waim\u0101nalo Ho\u2018olaule\u2018a, scheduled for a noon start on Saturday, Dec. 14, at Waim\u0101nalo Beach Park. Open to the public, the event follows that morning\u2019s huaka\u2018i \u2014 the annual Waim\u0101nalo Christmas Parade, which ends at the world-famous beach park.<\/p>\n<p>As the organizer of the festival, Kalima chose the theme Makalehua O Waim\u0101nalo (\u201cthe pride of Waim\u0101nalo\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMakalehua O Waim\u0101nalo is going to focus on building resilience and re-instilling pride and aloha in our community,\u201d he explains. \u201cIn my youth, we used to have events like Waim\u0101nalo Carnival with EK Fernandez, and Sunset On The Beach. Now, we have a culminating event that will bring the whole community together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although the festival is expected to have all the familiar trappings of a community-wide celebration \u2014 food vendors, artisans and crafters, keiki activities and, of course, live music \u2014 it will also serve as an informational hub for college financial aid assistance, financial guidance, home ownership education, homeless outreach, and medical and mental health services.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, it will steer interested young adults toward job training and employment opportunities with various professions and trade unions, including Iron Workers Union and International Brotherhood of Local Workers, Local 1186.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of our people are good with their hands, but they don\u2019t want to go back to college,\u201d Kalima explains. \u201cSo, I say, let\u2019s find them a livable wage \u2014 let\u2019s provide them a skill to help maintain their homes. Yes, they\u2019re the beneficiaries when their parents pass away and yes, they goin\u2019 get the house, but a lot of our people are not ma\u2018a when it comes to upkeeping and maintaining the house. So, we need more of those types of workers, plumbers and electricians, along with everything else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for those still committed to higher-education pursuits, Kalima and his nonprofit plan to use \u201c100% of our vendor fees\u201d to fund college scholarships.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know that (might seem like) nothing for our keiki going out to colleges and universities in the states. But I also know that sometimes as a college student you have to wait for a while before your funding drops. So, that $1,000 might be just enough for them to go eat at In-N-Out Burger, or to go wash clothes, or for transportation needs until their financial aid kicks in,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>The motivation for Waim\u0101nalo Ho\u2018olaulea can be attributed to a conversation Kalima had with a hulu kupuna more than a year ago, and that community elder\u2019s ongoing fight with the city to have the Waim\u0101nalo District Park gymnasium reopened.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the second generation of those who cannot use the gym \u2026 it\u2019s all fenced up and it\u2019s been like that for over 15 years,\u201d Kalima explains. \u201cBut it\u2019s sports programs like PAL and Summer Fun and everything else that goes on there that bring the community together and that teach hard work and everything else that our keiki need to grow into productive citizens. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo when I talked to this beloved kupuna, he told me, \u2018You know, Kalani, the kids from Waim\u0101nalo just don\u2019t have any pride,\u2019 and when I hear the worries of a kupuna like that, I start trying to figure out, \u2018OK, what can I do? How can I help?\u2019 Because he\u2019s right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kalima pauses briefly to consider his own responsibility moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose who have the privilege of knowing have the duty to act,\u201d he says, \u201cand I feel a duty to move and a duty to act.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Waim\u0101nalo Ho\u2018olaule\u2018a is about more than just having pride in the present and future \u2014 it\u2019s about embracing the past, too.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the celebration, Kalima intends to pay tribute to local sumotori who passed away earlier this year \u2014 including his brother, George, and Rowan, both of whom he affectionately refers to as \u201cnative sons of Waim\u0101nalo and our hometown heroes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI looked up to them and, when they passed, I wanted to honor them,\u201d he says. \u201cAt one time, they were Hawai\u2018i\u2019s ambassadors of aloha. They went around the world and they brought pride to us because we knew they came from humble beginnings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The tribute will be a fitting way to memorialize rikishi who, in Kalima\u2019s mind, have yet to receive the proper respect since their deaths in January and April, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Chad\u2019s case, he was the first yokozuna from Hawai\u2018i and I still cannot wrap my mind around why Hawai\u2018i isn\u2019t even celebrating him,\u201d says Kalima.<br \/>\n\u201cBut Waim\u0101nalo never forgets,\u201d he adds. \u201cWe will celebrate our local boys.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As the president of N\u0101 Kua \u2018\u0100ina O Waim\u0101nalo \u2014 a group that over the years has not only been responsible for halting the bulldozing of Sherwood Forest and preserving \u201cthe place with the oldest graveyard in all of Hawai\u2018i,\u201d but also saving 81 acres of Kaiwi Mauka lands from development \u2014 Kalima admits that he\u2019s always down \u201cfor a good k\u016b\u2018\u0113, a good protest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Still, he acknowledges the need for balance, as well as the obligation to break \u201cthe victim mindset\u201d among residents and repair aspects of the community\u2019s culture. The upcoming ho\u2018olaule\u2018a, he adds, is the perfect opportunity to continue doing just that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe gotta have balance in our lives \u2014 we gotta take time to celebrate life,\u201d Kalima says. \u201cWe also gotta break the sense of entitlement \u2014 the \u2018they owe us this,\u2019 or \u2018they did this to us\u2019 and everything else. We gotta teach people that nobody owes you anything. You have a chance like everybody else, but you gotta learn to stand on your own two feet and make our k\u016bpuna proud.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No one is prouder of the upcoming Waim\u0101nalo Ho\u2018olaule\u2018a than organizer Kalani Kalima, who has big dreams of restoring hope..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":99579,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4799,47],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-99578","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-focus-on-oahu-photo-galleries","category-cover-story"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
