INTENSE MAORI ALL BLACKS HAKA AGAINST THE BRITISH AND IRISH LIONS 

The weapon it's called a Tewhatewha it serves both as a weapon and a signalling staff to give warriors battle orders during battles. Veteran Warriors acting like NCOs carried this weapon.

The guy at the front I think is Hika. Find the 2011 All Blacks hakas against Ireland too!

@@pauladdae3130 Yep, Hika Elliott nei?

who won? ...... ;)

That's not an axe, it's a sweeper for the excrement left behind by their enemies.

Haka is not always about intimidation and warfare. It’s often about indigenous relationships to their land and people.

Well it is effective! Definitely grabs everyone's attention !

Thanks…I didn’t know what it was all about. I knew it was from Māori and I also saw one done at a wedding, as respect for beloved teacher etc.

@@christineribone9351 actually is tho - despite your ALL CAPS

Yeah. Looks like it.

Debe haber sido una experiencia inolvidable y una gran bendición haber participado en algo tan íntimo para ellos ❤️

@@valentinamoyano9067 yes it was. He was such a loved man and a beautiful custom to witness 💖 xx

Question: why ia it that You Australia don't do aboriginal war dance ect like all nz do Maori Haka's?

Why Australia is not treasuring the Aboriginal people's culture then? Might give you some energy too aye

@@cynga6067 yes, I agree 💖 xx

It don't matter how old you are the haka well give you the mana to hold your ground to the death .it's plaseing to the God of War. Tumatauenga

If I were on the opposing team I would run as far away as I could get. They are just plain scary

I just pick fights with my husband. He just laughs at me. 😂

@@IrishAnnie not if you kick him in the balls .he wouldn't. Lol

@@IrishAnnie I want a divorce

The place there where this game is played is known as the mist of the mountains

Yes... Me too... Never ever gets old. It's impressive, inspiring, and even touching on some deep level. Love the synchronicity, the rhythm of the choreography so to speak, and the commitment of the haka performers.

And there ancestors would be embarrassed to see it performed over fuckn games!

@@flok.8317 It's so lame. it's just a fucking football game and not a war over life and death. can you imagine how ridiculous it would be if a pool player acted like that before a pool tournament? it's just shameless

@@Michael_Howard59 Cultures evolve or they are left behind just like everything else. If the Haka was purely a war chant like it was in the early days no one would perform it these days and it would be forgotten slowly but surely. It seems that the majority of the Maori are for these new expressions of their culture and if they are fine with it so should we.

.....and then they lost 🤣

Thats such a good analogy, thanks man

Haka awakens something in us my brother, you probably aren't as atheistic as you think- is stirs up our Wairua..( spirit) ❤

Ha, Ha, Ha! It's a joke!

@@zealantis 1) You're, not your. 2) You read this comment not heard. 3) You are incompetent.

@@melanisticmandalorian One of the best hakas (plural, not single haka). Or have you seen only one....? How can it then be "one of the best" you've seen when you've only seen one? And technically, you haven't SEEN it unless you were there personally and saw it with your own two eyes while it happened...! No, you've VIEWED it on your cell phone or your lap top or some other remote device displaying a video recording of the event. You're not the only one that can split hairs or correct other people's grammar. People who resort to that sort of thing on RU-vid or other social media usually do so because they lack substance in what they have to say. But you didn't really say anything, did you? You TYPED it....! That is not the same as "saying it" now, is it? So you can not be credited or faulted for saying anything, now can you? Because you haven't "said" it. I would like to see you offer that defense in a court of law when you are being sued for defamation, or something. If only Amber Heard offered that argument as her defense for the Op Ed she published in the Washington Post....! Then she wouldn't have been liable for 15 Million USD. "I didn't say it ,Your Honor, I typed it...!" Get real, Bro.

@@danielcoetzee5793 That is pretty asinine and ridiculous to say you have not seen it unless you saw it personally and not in a video. Get over yourself. "One of the best Haka I've seen" or "One of the best hakas I've seen" are both proper, grammatically to use because, I am referring to this in particular, but am not comparing it to the others. If you are going to try to tear apart someone's argument, at least know what you are talking about.

@@melanisticmandalorian Oh, you started this ridiculousness (and excel at it). It is YOU who have to get over yourself (and get over your ridiculous haha haka. (Or go and VIEW another million haha hakas and tickle yourself). OR, you can find something better to do with your life than starting ridiculous arguments. It is utter ridiculous to say that you haven't heard something if someone else said it in writing....! Writing is a representation of what you say as you write down your thoughts and your ideas and you are TYPING WORDS>>>>! If you are typing words then those words can certainly be "heard" when you read them. Writing is "remote speaking" and writing words is just as good as saying them. (or did you forget how you learned to read..? your teacher taught you to articulate the words by making the sounds that those letters represent). Are you hearing what I'm saying, Bro..? (Just ignore the few unsavory words in between which I have deleted, I cannot say it out loud but I'm sure you can still hear them even though you haven't read them. HA HA HA! I'm sure your ears are ringing now...! Besides, if you are saying "One of the best" YOU ARE comparing it to the others you've already seen (which were not as good as "One of your best". (What a stupid comment to make). "I'm not comparing it"...when you are in fact comparing it...; that is the whole gist of your comment). Eish...!

Timatanga

That’s not all it was back then either my bro

It is NOT a demonstration of Maori pride! Mana is SPIRIT. and you dont "teach" new generations, they grow up with it, living it, breathing it

Shaun, I bet it was awesome!!

Wish I was there

Originally they didn't take it seriously themselves. But hey, if you enjoy grown men doing a silly dance then...

@@thewhinjaninja3610 What an ignorant comment from a troll with a childish name.

противники чуть не обосрались)

They're all shitting themselves obviously, which in itself is a very beautiful and noble thing. One of the most cursed things any fool can do is disrespect the Haka.🖤 The All Blacks are more than just a rugby team. Fearsome fearless warriors.

Magnificent

It gives me laugh

@@thewhinjaninja3610 not if understand it you wouldn't. You be the same as everybody else love it .just as much as we do

@@deankumeroa1515 they were cannibals

@@BathysphereMechanic and your people where not .come on man know your history. Your people love eating humans uses only just stop .well some of uses

Thank you

If I were on the opposing team my thought would to run away. Fast.

@@michaelrobinson1003 what from acting staunch lol

😂😂😂

Yes, they are very handsome.

Same here. I dig the Haka as such and I think it´s cool traditions like that are kept alive. But performing it before a rugby game degrades it to a clown show in my opinion.

Stand in front of it poppy

Maori here thank you for your beautiful words take care be safe bye

They do,the spiritual ancestors are flowing through them that’s why,tumeke

oh yes for the romans , Now try that with Leather Necks . Semper Fi
