Goosebumps .. just goosebumps ... I'm Scottish, never even been anywhere near the Pacific Islands but there's something about these haka and challenges that touches my soul - every time, ever since I first saw NZ performing haha in the late 70's, early 80's. Stirring, awe-inspiring stuff. Respect!
I have nothing to do with Maori culture, I was born, raised and still living all the way accross the planet, in Greece. But every time I see Te Tīmatanga I catch myself trying to imitate the moves. I gives me a unique thrill I never thought something so foreign to me would.
That was cool to see the Samoan, Tongan and Fijian war dances put together!! That Maori haka looked viscous as hell ! Best haka I've seen in a while!! Could feel the mana from both sides
@White Owl my mother Uncle’s Aunty are full blooded Maori it even says it on there birth certificates it wasn’t to after the 70s they stop printing it on birth certificate so please STOP IT.
@White Owl first of why would I bs I don’t need a DNA to prove to you anything’s. Oh and by the way my real name it Phia Edwards Matete hardly a English name is it.
My God I miss NZ. Spent a year there 20 years ago, just fell in love with the people and culture. Been trying to go back but life just seems to keep that on my bucket list 🤷♂️🤦♂️. I love everything New Zealand.
Both hakas are beautiful what a great sight to see. As a fan of rugby from the UK and a massive fan of that part of the worlds rugby and it's culture my only regret is not seeing it in person. I literally am a Māori all blacks fan for life. mainly because of what that jersey represents to the Māori people. KIA ORA
@@parihynes9381 Use Aotearoa instead brother. Say proudly Kia Ora Aotearoa. There's nothing like New Zealand it was instead mistakenly taken. The History of Name New Zealand is very funny. Aotearoa has deep connection with the land.
Aotearoa tribes came here on boats, those boats came from different islands, with that came their own language dialects, Our own Moana Pacifica for over 1000 years now known as Maori, beautiful haka display from everyone
I love how the Moana Pasifika has included an element of each islands haka into their main one with slight variations from each. Its really cool. And then the Maori All Blacks seem alot more Moari in their haka than the main team. Its really cool and I would love to see how it works moving forward.
@@hem8729 I obviously get that. What I mean is even their haka is not the standard one we have seen in international matches sported by the New Zealand All Blacks. It also has a more "traditional", (I am being very careful of my wording to avoid disrespect) version of the one we have seen regularly.
You're right more traditional with the Maori All Blacks than the All Blacks. MAB adopt the "Timatanga" haka and the ABs more often use "Ka Mate" or "Kapo Pango" haka.
I’ve been searching all day on whichever haka Sean Wainui has lead during his time. This one keeps calling to me. Perhaps it was the amount of immense mana he had as one of the leaders, the mana he had during games or even off the field with his whānau, friends and other mahi he did. That’s because Sean Wainui is indeed a rangatira, a mighty totara tree. Moe mai rā e Sean.
