Warrior Poet - Māori Martial Arts Master Tuari Dawson

Toa (Māori) Warrior (English)
Tuari Dawson has a passion for sharing his Māori culture, especially through the martial arts.
He has made several trips to Okinawa to study Goju-ryu karate, and to find similarities between these two island nations. Tuari and I met up on his recent visit, and I was able to record a quick interview at our local beach. Such a memorable experience, one of the highlights of my year. Of course I was in awe at him performing the haka, but I hadn't expected that he was such as soulful singer!
Tuari has followed the Okinawan karate masters series, and has invited me to Aotearoa (New Zealand) to photograph and interview the masters of Māori martial arts. This would be absolutely amazing, so hopefully we will be able to make this possible sometime in the next few years.
