 Hālau hula training was strict, with haumāna put on "kapu" or rules and codes of conduct which banned the cutting of hair and the practicing of any kind of sexual activity.Today, students have set hours for study at the hālau, and often pay monthly dues to help the kumu with support and maintenance.Present-day hālau hula each have their own set of rules for their haumāna, with many still enforcing the traditional rule of not cutting one's hair.
