Like many aspects of te ao Māori, mau rākau was threatened and almost lost as a result of colonisation.
Despite a turbulent history, the art form is well and truly alive today and practiced by many across Aotearoa.
This is part of our reo Māori series, Ohinga, created by Mahi Tahi Media, with funding from Te Māngai Pāho.

it's really cool that you keep the stories not just in spoken and heard form, but also in the movement of the body. disrupts the binary of "oral tradition" vs "written tradition". anyway thank you for sharing and i am so glad mau rakau is still here.
This is amazing! Temerua Morrison aka Boba Fett brought me here
🙏. Thank you. Irish Shilleigh too. British banned it then adapted it and many others from tonfa to baton and gave it to authority to oppress our right to carry. A classic colonial oppression of culture and identity.
Beautiful to hear the language, I wish I were fluent in it
What i see in movie, you all if fight just show the angry face and shout to get spirit but less technic to face enemy. If your martial arts is good, come to my land Malaysia or Indonesia try with our Silat martial arts we will see whos the best.
@csp6880 Silat is not actually dancing. What you see as dancing is to show to the enemy that they are learning from which style of Silat. Silat is not just 1, but more than 50 types are here. For example, Silat Gayong,
Silat Harimau Berantai, Silat Cekak, Silat Kuntau and others. You can search for these names and their movements are different. When we fight we don't dance.
Silat in ancient times was used to fight in combination with Swords, Keris, Kerambit weapons and Free hand. Silat originates from the movement of the attacking Tiger style but over time Silat has also been changed to suit with war. Mongol soldiers also landed in Sumatra Indonesia but they lost the war with us. We lost to the European nations because their weaponry was more advanced than ours.
There is no need to compare like this - but since you are, know that you wouldn't stand a chance. Even British soldiers (who had guns) struggled. Combat is huge in Maori culture, much like the Japanese samurai. Watch a movie called "The Dead Lands" and ask yourself if technique could save you from a warrior like that.
@@goingforspades-l7d movie the Dead Lands? Yeah i watch that movie, from i seen they not have much technic movements. They only make their face angry to scared the enemy and shouted to get high motivational spirit. But we dont war like that, we more focus on technic movement. The more knowledge the more submissive, everything will be shown during the fight later.
@@goingforspades-l7d And you also been curious to know how Malay warrior looks like. You can search this title in youtube its called " 5 Laksamana Melayu Tuah, Nadim Jamil, Megat dan Amin ". I can't send you a link because of rules in youtube. Compare them between Maori warrior and my anchestor warrior.
Comparison is the thief of joy.
Why not compare Silat to a Tank or a Sniper Rifle?
Let your arts speak for themselves and let the Maori arts speak for themselves.
