Why this collaboration matters.

I grew up between Hawaiʻi and Los Angeles. Both places shaped who I am, how I carry myself, and why I live the way I do.

This collaboration with Pontis comes from a friendship rooted in Hawaiʻi. One that has lasted through a lot of chapters, some easy, some not. Real friendships and relationships hold. Even when things get complicated, even when there’s distance, the connection remains.

That’s what this kimono and rashguard represent to me. Hawaiʻi to California. Two people who care about this art and this community, building something they’re proud of.

This is Zumi gear. Designed for our mats, our students, our community.

Pre-orders will close early Sunday, May 10. Sizes are limited and guaranteed only through the pre-order window. Link in bio.

COMPETITION

Competition teaches us how to step outside our comfort zone with purpose.

Facing the unfamiliar, we learn how to stay present, adapt, and carry that same mindset into daily life.

Growth begins when discomfort becomes part of the process.

Showing up isn’t just training, it’s studying, growing, and staying connected.

Balance is just building a life around what you love and being fully present in it.

Our ZUMI instructors had the chance to learn from World Champion Joshiro Maruyama & it was next level!

Beyond the sharp technique & details, he spoke about respect for your partner, your teachers, & the process of getting better every day. We came back grounded & full of inspiration!

A simple reminder that at ZUMI Academy, respect isn’t just something we say… it’s how we train & how we grow together.
