The more and more I expose myself to the beauty and symbolic Haka, I am left stunned and amazed! I love Culture in all forms and this Funeral tribute to the great Jonah Lomu was truly great to watch! He was loved and is still loved by so many! R
Should look up THE POWER OF THE HAKA on TH-cam New Zealand school boys rugby teams do some awesome hakas Auckland grammar vs kings college is the one you wanna watch.i still get goosebumps seeing it and just a kapa haka festival would be something worth watching, were they compete
Allure Vision thanks for this video and genuine reaction. Trust me this video makes grown men shed a tear. I have 2 other funeral Hakas which I believe are some of the best; th-cam.com/video/PdkC8hRoyj4/w-d-xo.html , th-cam.com/video/M6Qtc_zlGhc/w-d-xo.html. Even if you dont do a reaction video to them just watch and appreciate.Thanks
Allure Vision These haka videos are great, but the performances themselve are all still mild by traditional standards. If you want to see how a haka really would have been performed by warriors before battle then check out the link below. This is how warriors really would have prepped themselves going to war. Your chest should be bleeding and your thighs should be red raw if you’ve done it correctly: th-cam.com/video/2iL0Xs4-2Qc/w-d-xo.html
This was a great video. Beautiful tribute to a great man. I'm African American but was fortunate to learn this powerful warrior expression from a Kiwi bro of mine who worked for the Polynesian Culture Center , while I was stationed on the island of Oahu during my Army years. He also taught me to fight with the traditional wooden battle spear called the Taiaha. I can't say I'm a Toa (Maori warrior)...but the spirit of the Haka still runs deep...and my Mana (spiritual energy) is still connected to the land and the people after all of these years. Keep exploring the culture of these proud and amazing people sweetheart. You'll be glad you did. Peace
This is my culture and I love it when I see others take an interest in it as you have. The Haka is many things to my people. In this situation they were giving an honourable send of to someone that was respected in the sport of rugby. Thank you for taking the time to research and react respectfully. Xo
Kia Ora (Hello) from Aotearoa (New Zealand). Thank you for respecting our culture, it's very much appreciated. You are more than welcome to visit New Zealand anytime to experience our Tangata Whenua. (People of the Land) Thanks again
Yup Jonah was THE rugby legend it's so fitting that he was given the best Haka from former All Black players and even the Haka itself gives you shivers R I P Jonah
That was beautiful. Every time I come across a haka, I watch. I've seen celebration, welcome, goodbye and fighting hakas. There is something that touches your soul and even though you don't know the language, you understand the feeling being conveyed. This was very moving and I'm glad to see that the tradition is being passed on to the younger generations.
Listening to international opponents speak at this funeral with nothing but love for the man says it all. One of the few people that could be dead and grateful at the same time.
It moved me when i watched the whole service for him. Love the all blacks and the haka is so rich in history and native tradition. Very patriotic. Talking of feeling energy, you give of this feeling of classiness and humbleness You remind me alot of janelle monae, you defo sound like her. Beautiful lady, beautiful reation
Even though we will not be doing the haka watching this was very emotional. My cousins funeral is tomorrow :-( , feeling pretty lost without him atm but I know just like that dove he can be finally free :-) to leave the night & enter the light. RIP Ryan . Thanks for a lovely vid reaction Allure. First time I seen this. It was very nice & humble.
What a great honor to see this ritual being displayed n a respect classy emotional manner many spectators pay their dues so together so respectful i will learnn study this movement......
He was surely a beautiful man Allure and when i asked Jonah about the rugby tries he scored back in the day he just shrugged his shoulders in all humbleness. The Haka at eden park sent goose bumps all over my body missing this God gifted athlete. RIP Big fella!
love the respect, tribute and reaction. I'm not from New Zealand, i don't play rugby but i got so much respect for this guy. Remember him as one of the first GOAT at his sport. And a great introduction to the sport
Every time I see a Haka I always cry.. thanks for making me cry again! We love you King Jonah Lomu. Beloved by all that knew him, and you are amazing! Thank you for sharing your thoughts
Everyone wears their jersey with pride but this man had his heart on his sleeve not only for himself but for the nation and worldwide. He was a true representative thank you for acknowledging his send of and doing so respectfully. Arohanui (much love) xox
Jonah was a gentle giante of a man, gone too soon, an amazing rugby player and a gentleman..so so sad to see his wife and two little sons....he gave so much to his community he was a hero and mentor to young kids..he was and always will be loved and respected by so many!!!
When the Aliens decide to invade and start a war with us we'll just send them the New Zealander Rugby players, Dagestanian Wrestlers and Canadian Hockey players.
Bro r u fucking serious, Canada & New Zealand have similarities background. Based on the 1st nation people & the Canadian people we have the same linger when we speak. 87.7% of kiwi's leave in Canada due to the fact of similarities background culture. America is polluted with disrespectful & erogant people like yourself putting statement like that. Keep your fucking ( Alien) x-File shit in your own country. E ha kuri Maori ora..Pakeha.
@@lukesimpson5534 , seriously I'm Maori/ togan. Born in New Zealand my tribe is (gai tahu) south Island. Were I come from you don't put anyone down or they county. The haka means ( Stand strong or be strong) evoking my ancestors. F.Y.I my girlfriend is Canadian from Vancouver ( British Colombia).
@@Triciamichelle_yt ,my uncle is joweli vidiri who played side by side with Jono lomu..he is carrying the coffin also he's on the right hand side second person. That's my mums brother.
Much respect and honour to jonah lomu most feared rugby player ever he was a one off. Am Scottish and loved watching him and the Maori players are incredible great people great nation much love to the New Zealand all blacks from Scotland.
Thank you for showing such respect, so very sad to see his wife and young children, a great man taken too early, I'm Australian and Kiwi's are our mortal enemy in sport but our great friends in life. I have many Kiwi friends and their weddings and funerals are amazing.
I have a few tears each time I watch this haka. I'm not even from New Zealand, I'm french. But I discovered Jonah Lomu when I was around 8, watching a match he played against France. I was shocked. Today, my favorite XV national rugby team is the All Blacks because of Jonah Lomu.
A few things I noticed,the entire crowd in respectful silence. Every man is giving it at full throat,even a few from their wheelchairs. BUT almost all are still at full throat while doing it through tears.gets me everytime
Jonah is Tongan we have alot of Pacifica people in New Zealand, the flax outfits are a Tonga tradition. I cried watching it again, the lady who let go of doves was his wife.
John Lamu was such a magnanimous person and rugby legend...He is still missed by grateful New Zealander's far and wide who were lucky to have him represent us all over the world.
Awesome video. Having seen the original footage back then and stumbled across how you've done with it, very interested in the reaction stuff here and am not usually even clicking reaction stuff. Liked and subscribed. Greetings.
Rugby and Rugby League in the Pacific Island countries have a HUGE following. Players are Immortalized. Culturally, its very diverse and varies from one Pacific Island country to another but one thing is for certain and that is death is a very spiritual time for us. RIP. Jonah Lomu.
Jonny Wilkinson may be my favourite player so showing his hits when he was known for his finesse doesn't seem adequate in my opinion. "Jonny Wilkinson || King of Rugby || Legend Tribute" shows more what kind of player he was.
Lolo Bebel I think both videos are a must. I think for a way of introduction the hits one is my favourite but then he needs exploring more with your suggestion I think he was known for his physicality due to the fact it's a rare trait in a fly half. He could kick but boy could he tackle for a smaller guy
Thenoncrapulentfool I'll never understand how rugby legends such as Lomuh and Wilkinson have so few videos on youtube when any second category football player can have dozens (and I love football). If only I knew about editing...
Allure Vision,thankyou solo much for taking the time to learn about our Haka(Ha-Breath/Ka-Fiery),Although this postural movement, incantation, Dance was male business, There are certain tribes that the woman Haka as well,Kia ora koe Sister(Be well)
You're very fly girl. I appreciate your composed and thorough will to expand your knowledge and horizons as well as the interest you have for sports (many men's dreams..). It's just hot you got it like that. Keep up those fire hairstyles 🔥🙆🏾 #shoutoutfromParis
Thank you, NZ was in mourning that day. As a Mum, I still cry when I look at Jonah's beautiful boys following their Dad. TH-cam channel - AIG - has an amazing upload ..HAKA-History.. I promise it will connect you to your ancestors & their journey.
Watching that, I'm like Kate Bush, "I don't know why I'm crying..." I first heard of Jonah Lomu in the run - up to the 1995 Rugby World Cup tournament to be held in South Africa. I was reading a list in the newspaper of upcoming talent to look out for. I saw this name and this picture that I had to check 3-4 times. It said that this 19 yo kid weighed 19 stone and could run the 100m in under 11s!
We were on a school trip to this place in town for vocational studies he saw us standing there in our uniforms so he pulled over crossed the busy road just to talk to us and he did for like 15 minutes. He's was a humble great man.
Allure Vision try this video Maori all blacks haka vs British and Irish lions 2017. I as a new Zealand Maori think it's one of the best haka from a sporting perspective out there on youtube
Es doloroso ,ver ir a alguien tan fuerte y tan bueno como el, nos dejó mucho que aprender en el rugby 🏉 y en la vida en general ,siempre lo tendremos presente 🤜🤛
Jonah Lomu is Tongan. He was born and raised in South Auckland New Zealand. Wesley College means High School in America. They are doing the Haka which is Maori tradition. The Tongans are wearing the mats around their waist. It's a sign of respect. Those are the All Blacks of the past. They are an elite group of former players and they are tighter than a group of special forces.
One of the greatest things in sport is the Haka. Jonah was a man among men and that's saying a lot when you're talking about the All Blacks. Even as an Aussie I love the Haka and will always face it.
If you are moved by the Haka, watch some of the New Zealand High school Haka's for retiring teachersor fellow pupils that have died. So incredibly moving.
Kia Ora! Firstly just randomly found your channel and really like your reaction to the Haka. Really cool! If you have time check out the haka that was done for Beyonce that happened a few years back, really powerful and really awesome seeing Beyonces reaction to it. Keep up the awesome vids! New Maori subscriber lol!
Thank you for showing interest in our Maori culture/ We have a very special and unique culture. There are so many aspects to our culture other than the haka, Check out Kapa Haka competitions held annually. It will showcase not only haka but waiata (why-ah-ta) or songs and traditional dance (we do not call Haka a dance). It has many meaning and will fit different occasions. There are many sites and youtube clips you can see to learn from. Also with pronunciation, vowels a,e,i,o,u are ah, eh, e, or, oooo, and each vowel ends a syllable within each word. Hope that helps
Jonah turned rugby into a professional sport...when he ran through Englands fullback Mike Catt... everybody from everywhere needed to stop him or be like him.. that's why he was a legend...
The more and more I expose myself to the beauty and symbolic Haka, I am left stunned and amazed! I love Culture in all forms and this Funeral tribute to the great Jonah Lomu was truly great to watch! He was loved and is still loved by so many! R

Best reaction channel, I like it that you actually research what your watching. I remember watching this live, very powerfull and emotional haka.

Neti j 40 doves for forty years but he will be a forever fixture.
rugby player the world ever seen..there is only one Lomu and no - no one would ever replace him..power, speed and most especially humility..
When the Aliens decide to invade and start a war with us we'll just send them the New Zealander Rugby players, Dagestanian Wrestlers and Canadian Hockey players.

His story is truly inspirational and I'm just inspired by him
A friend of mine passed away early this year. 1100 people attended his funeral and a large group performed a haka. This brought back memories.
Sorry to here about your loss
Allure Vision :) thanks
Much respect and honour to jonah lomu most feared rugby player ever he was a one off. Am Scottish and loved watching him and the Maori players are incredible great people great nation much love to the New Zealand all blacks from Scotland.
Thank you for this tribute to Jonah. It very touching to me that someone from the other side world would respect us by paying attention to the haka.

The pall bearers are in tears. That says just about everything. This gave me chills. A fitting and fond farewell to the big man.
Jonah lomu is fondly remembered in the Rugby World and also outside rugby. Rip the legend from New Zealand
Jonah is Tongan we have alot of Pacifica people in New Zealand, the flax outfits are a Tonga tradition.
I cried watching it again, the lady who let go of doves was his wife.

Beautiful job, lovely lady. Jonah was the greatest!! I am staying tuned for Jonny Wilkinsons Big hits.
Jonny Wilkinson may be my favourite player so showing his hits when he was known for his finesse doesn't seem adequate in my opinion.

Lolo Bebel I know but I suppose it's just that football is so much more popular
What the men.. He deserved all that powerful performance from the wonderful people of New Zealand the land of the long white cloud. 💐
Great man, beast and all time player on the field but an even better human. Union wouldn't be where it is today without him.
So much respect shown by everyone.
yes very beautiful
Allure Vision
You have a beautiful heart. God Bless!
Thanks for the love
Kia Ora from New Zealand! Love your Channel new sub!
Your silence during that first Haka said more than anything. It 'gets you' every time...
Hey lovely, I love what you’re doing.... so I subscribed. Keep it coming from a Maori living in Australia.👍🏻❤️
Moved to tears myself watching this!
It’s looks like he was great although I know nothing about rugby. It’s was a nice commemoration to what looks like one of greatest rugby player ever.
Bakary Fofana he was great I'm no expert but his story is truly inspiring you should check it out
I definitely will. We are waiting on the football reaction to Ronaldo R9 video “the number one influence” can’t wait to see ur reaction to that one ✌️
Allure Vision,thankyou solo much for taking the time to learn about our Haka(Ha-Breath/Ka-Fiery),Although this postural movement, incantation, Dance was male business, There are certain tribes that the woman Haka as well,Kia ora koe Sister(Be well)

Allure Vision My bad i updated my comment, hadn't read the description darling 👌🏼 Thx
Kia Ora from a Maori he was our Hero and a Legend to us his people who loved him beyond the stars thank U
I'm sure Jonah is very happy and proud of the send off he's family & friends gave him
Thank you, NZ was in mourning that day. As a Mum, I still cry when I look at Jonah's beautiful boys following their Dad. TH-cam channel - AIG - has an amazing upload ..HAKA-History.. I promise it will connect you to your ancestors & their journey.
You have to come to NZ if you ever have a chance. The way you speak about our culture and how much you respect it. You will love it here.
Watching that, I'm like Kate Bush, "I don't know why I'm crying..." I first heard of Jonah Lomu in the run - up to the 1995 Rugby World Cup tournament to be held in South Africa. I was reading a list in the newspaper of upcoming talent to look out for. I saw this name and this picture that I had to check 3-4 times. It said that this 19 yo kid weighed 19 stone and could run the 100m in under 11s!
Awesome vid! The guy was a LEGEND in New Zealand! Your reaction and appreciation for our Maori culture is humbling. SUBBED! :)
We were on a school trip to this place in town for vocational studies he saw us standing there in our uniforms so he pulled over crossed the busy road just to talk to us and he did for like 15 minutes. He's was a humble great man.
Amazing story. im sure that was a great and monumental moment you will never forget! so lucky!
Allure Vision try this video Maori all blacks haka vs British and Irish lions 2017. I as a new Zealand Maori think it's one of the best haka from a sporting perspective out there on youtube
Kia Ora Great to have a new rugby fan. You will have to come to New Zealand
Thank you for your response to this!
No honour in this country, greater than this.........I love my country
my fav player growing up true legend R.I.P
Some of the best all blacks past and present...tribute to the great man ❤
Es doloroso ,ver ir a alguien tan fuerte y tan bueno como el, nos dejó mucho que aprender en el rugby 🏉 y en la vida en general ,siempre lo tendremos presente 🤜🤛

First time that l have seen this video, have a lump in my throat....in fact am tearfully.....
I think you should visit New Zealand..you would absalutly love it. Awsome reaction.
Thank you. Hopefully one day I will
Wow, that gave me goosebumps!
Right!? Beautiful
That's our culture down here! Glad you got to see it!
If you are moved by the Haka, watch some of the New Zealand High school Haka's for retiring teachersor fellow pupils that have died. So incredibly moving.

Thank you so much
Honestly every time most kiwis think about this or hear about him we all feel pain. Been awhile and I watched this and still cried.
Jonah Lomu was the most dominant player ever
And he played for the most dominant team in the history of sports. Any sport.
Thank you for showing interest in our Maori culture/ We have a very special and unique culture.

Jonah turned rugby into a professional sport...when he ran through Englands fullback Mike Catt... everybody from everywhere needed to stop him or be like him.. that's why he was a legend...
THE greatest sporting send off you will ever see!!!
Reminds me of Dylan Thomas: "Do not go gentle into that good night/Rage, rage against the dying of the light"
6:10
"Okay, how many people are in the stands?"
"Yes!"
Most humble player rip gentle giant #11 haka mana forever
True greatness
He has probably single handedly beaten all of our countries national teams and yet we still all loved him! Rip legend!
Well he's a wrecking ball so I believe it
RIB tokoua may God bless you mate maa tonga🇹🇴🇹🇴❤
stunning as always :) stay positive
Thanks ❤
