Training session includes ‘Five-0’ star
Women and children can learn self-defense techniques with "Hawaii Five-0" star Alex O’Loughlin and his fitness trainer, Egan Inoue, at two special seminars at 1 and 3 p.m. Sunday.
The sessions are $300 each, with all proceeds to be donated to Kapiolani Medical Center for Women & Children. The 90-minute sessions will teach a form of "nonstriking self-defense" based on Inoue’s martial arts techniques.
Participants will receive a certificate, T-shirt and an autographed photo of O’Loughlin.
The fundraiser is also a celebration of the new 3,000-square-foot Egan’s Training Center at 2700 S. King St., Building A. A grand-opening party will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday.
