At 3:48pm on May 6, 2008, Tyler Fonua said…: Well what an awsome message to receive. whats up my brother, this is actually my wifes page, my name is lenny fonua. born in laie (dad was at byu,) and spent most of my life in auckland nz. my wife and I have been living in california (sanfrancisco) for the past 5 years, came here also for a fresh start, without the b.s, and for the opportunities this land provides. Have been through many trials and tribulations but have learnt from most of my mistakes! Have been married to my beatiful wife tyler (maori/samoan) for about four years but have been together for ten. we havent had children yet but we'r leaving that to the man upstairs! If you are related to sekona family then we are definately related as my grandmother from mataele family and i know we;r close to sekona. I have alwayz wanted to learn to fight but have never had the opportunity untill 2 months ago when my wife and I both joined Guila hawaiian kajukenbo dojo. Im at a place in my life now where i can be focused, and as im not getting any younger (26) i want to be able to push myself to the limit while i still have time. Ive never been trained to fight but growing up in auckland and having parents that wernt really there, and turning to the streets, I fought alot, (if you can call it fighting).
But im really loving learning martial arts and training. I made a decision to do my best and see how far it takes me. Our sifu is gonna have me fight in a tournament in a months time so ive been training evryday, tryna get this weight off. He told me hes really impressed with how fast ive picked it up and has also entered me into the 1st kajukembo world tournament in las vegas in 2 months. Im gonna compete for the world title for my division (probly beginners) so im really excited and motivated. since Ive started fighting its all I think about. Ive never really felt like this about something before.I dont say nothing at training, i just train hard and soak up as much as i can. They say ive got power but they dont know that im really holding back because i know if hit hard while sparring they might get hurt. (you know us tongans are just built like that). what im tryna do is work on my speed and fitness cos i no the power is already there, so any tips would be a great help.
Its really encouraging to no that there family out there that does this and that can help. It amazez me how things happen sometimes.
my wife and i both have family in texas so if im in your neighborhood im gonna come knocking, and give us a call if u guyz are out this way.
When my wife and me read the message you left i looked at her as if to say "lets move to texas" but she just gave me a dirty look so i didnt bother. Anyway I feel like I can just go on and on brother but i dont wanna take all ur time. Its great to have met you (thru internet anyway) and I hope to hear from you again soon. I will make my own page soon.
ofa atu tokoua,
ps, do u think im too old to start if i wana take this all the way?
