What is "limalama"

Limalama is a Polynesian art of self-defense, created and founded by Tu’umamao "Tino" Tuiolosega (1931 - 2011). Tuiolosega created the word "Limalama" as a portmanteau derived from the Samoan language words lima (five) and malamalama (understanding). Tuiolosega defined Limalama to mean "knowledge and understanding", and translated it as "hand of wisdom".
