History of The ABA/INBA/PNBA
The ABA has
its roots in the early contests promoted by Denny Kakos as an outreach for
his Mt Olympus Health Spa. The first competition was held in 1977, The
Hercules Aphrodites, the Overall Champion was Karl Marshall, who still
competes with the ABA today! Denny began his promoting career by holding
small competitions in his gym, then later moving them into the city
auditorium. Denny soon
began promoting contests under the auspices of the NPC. He promoted the
first NPC natural contest, The California Natural Bodybuilding
Championships, and it attracted 135 drug-free athletes. It was phenomenal
success, and the NPC Chairman awarded Denny a plaque for innovation in
natural bodybuilding. With the
popularity of natural contests, and his success as a promoter, Denny
wanted to promote an NPC Natural National Qualifier, but the NPC was
neither interested nor responsive. Desiring to
establish an association that would truly serve the athletes by promoting
big title natural competitions, quality awards, and first-class run
contests, and to make it a positive and fun experience for everyone
involved. Wally Boyko, Pete Samra, and Denny Kakos formed the Amateur
Bodybuilding Association (ABA). A primary
founding criterion of the ABA was to avoid discrimination of any sort, and
the ABA founders developed the first handicap classes - seated and
standing. If the ABA didn't have a class to fit someone, they would create
one. To promote the artistic aspects of bodybuilding contests, the ABA

costumes, etc. In this same spirit, the ABA continues to promote the
advancement of natural bodybuilding and fitness competitions as both sport
and performing art. In addition, the ABA continues to keep membership,
contest registration, and sanction fees affordable for everyone. Now the ABA
has gone International and Professional level with the INBA (International
Natural Bodybuilding Association) and the

Li Si Yang - Featured Athlete
Li Si Yang is owner of Journey to Fitness, LLC.
Originally from Canton, Li Si moved to Hawaii when she was eight years
old. She later managed her father’s business. Working 70+ hours a week and
going to school part-time led to an unhealthy lifestyle. Her self esteem
took a plunge, she was out of shape and had hit rock bottom. That’s when
she decided to change her life. She made an agreement with her father to
leave the shop and called a personal trainer the very next day. She found
the importance of setting goals, creating a plan and living a healthy
lifestyle. She became Miss Hawaiian Island and Miss Aloha Muscle in 2003.
Li Si began Journey to Fitness to share her experiences and to effect
positive changes in people’s lives. In her own situation, fitness has taught her that she
can do anything she sets her mind on doing. She offers private, personal
training; group sessions and workshops; healthy cooking lessons; and her
line of Health Matters Protein Oatcakes and Ready-to-Eat Meals. You can
find out more about Li Si and Journey to Fitness on her homepage in the
featured athletes section.
