Anoai: " There is no doubt in my mind that wrestling is an attraction for the youth.  However, if you are a student in my training center, there is an advantage.  Not only will you have the 'top of the line' skills to become a wrestler, the school will provide you with various traits and skills in other areas which include: self-esteem, the mind-body-spirit connection, public relations, experience in filming, photography, editing, journalism, script writing, sales, marketing, and other entrepreneurial skills. All of which are skills that can be used in the business world, since many of these kids will not have the option of attending college.

People tend to look at the wrestling business only for wrestling, but it can open doors to explore many other areas. Some of the top professional wrestlers have gone on to become Hollywood actors, high school principals, chiropractors, politicians, contract negotiators for major corporations, just to name a few.

I have met many troubled teens with passions and dreams of becoming a professional wrestler. But, as it turns out, not everyone can afford tuition.  It is with these tough situations where I feel obligated to give these youths hope. Therefore, I open my doors to allow them to sit in and watch my classes instead of them being somewhere less productive. I have changed many lives that were heading in the wrong direction and I strongly believe that using the drawing power of professional wrestling is the goal to redirecting one's life.

I am a native of Samoa, who came to California in the early 60's, where my parents were the pioneers of the First Samoan Congregational Christian Church in San Francisco. My parents contributed their lives to the Lord and were very active donors to the community.  Unfortunately, as a youth I found myself in trouble with the law. I was not being a productive member of society. My uncle, The late High Chief Peter Maivia, and Rocky "Soulman" Johnson, professional wrestlers whom I admired, respected and looked up to, saved me and took me away from the gangs and violence of the streets. Thank God it was them who gave me a second chance, and when my uncle passed the torch to me, wrestling gave me a life that I could have never dreamed of. Today, I am returning the favor and If I can touch the life of our youth then I know that I have done something to make this world a better place."
