Hey bro just wanted to let you know that you are doing great work, your videos have helped my learn about our culture and I really appreciate the time and effort you put into it
Tēnā koe e hoa, ngā mihi for your kind words and tautoko. That really means a lot! I am slowly getting more comfortable in sharing and love that our whānau near and far are interested in our videos and learning more about our beautiful culture. Lot's more to come!
Thanks a lot for the new moves :) Do these names have a literal meaning as well of are they just names for stances/movememts that are not translatable? I guess sething like 'left strike after right block with right foot back' is not something exciting, but some might mean something beutiful, like 'dolphin's swirl' or something ;)
Alot have meanings tracing back to afew things and i believe our war god. But our language is kinda poetic so my understanding might be different from a literal meaning or translation
Kia ora e hoa, ngā mihi for taking the time to comment on our video. Glad you like the new ahai (stances) we brought out in this video. To answer your question from our knowledge, every name in the Māori culture has a meaning and is usually traced back to a pūrākau (story). For example, the ahai Mangopare depicts the hammerhead shark so is often referred to this when sharing or teaching the ahai. Following on from what the bro @tautuaom has mentioned below our language is not a literal one and isn't usually directly translatable if that makes sense! I hope that helps, ngā mihi e hoa!
Yes bro! this is meke. Had to watch this at mahi i was that keen. Anyways, going to be practicing this to get it down pat. Also, keen to purchase koikoi wondering what size that one is that you've got? Pretty knew to it. I'm about 6.0ft and trying to guess what size would work Tūmatauenga - Teina #8? mihi ana bro.
Hahahaha love that my bro!! You'd definitely be needing a Tuakana koikoi e hoa (the largest size we have which is 1.35m). I'm 6ft and the koikoi I have in this video is a Tuakana size, the Teina is the next one down. We currently only have Tuakana available in our Rongo range - calebtekotiri.co.nz/products/rongo-tuakana-7. Or if you want a custom koikoi (you pick the colour of the rākau, the feathers and binding) then click this link here e hoa to fill out our form to get this underway - calebtekotiri.co.nz/pages/custom-orders. Ngā mihi my bro!
Kia ora e hoa, apologies for the very late response to your message!! If you're based in Aotearoa (New Zealand) or Ahitereiria (Australia), we'll be launching our new collection this Sunday 1 October at 1pm NZDT. Any further questions, let us know! Ngā mihi.
