The Haka - Maori War dance

[Lyrycalytyx]

I am a maori (ngati porou).. There is nothing more challenging when the opposing team face up to the haka.. that's called respect, and something that we all have a lot of respect for. Tino tanga.

[Lyrycalytyx]

This is about the wars that happened in this country in the 19th century.. The only native culture that stood up to the the imperial english.. And fukt them up, whilst inventing trench warfare along the way. look it up. Tina whanau ringa tina tanga.

[cekinxxx]

i don't want to get shnugered by these barbaric vandals

[dontcindyme]

wow....love that. so tribal...

[masakiayu]

I love how they all look so fierce when they do the haka dance....so full of energy and spirit

[dadoody]

[pattymcpatterstud1]

I wish Rugby was more mainstream in the US. Our leagues are small, however, my kids will play this when they are youngin's!!!

[PapaSoc]

one of leonidas = to all of the team (they didn't have foul play then...

[SnowMonkVX]

american football ain't got shit. they need to do this.

[unicorndruid]

Sorry, no goosebumps.

[SlaughterSolutionPro]

My favorite part of the match.

[timalynne]

Do all New Zealander knows how to do the Hakka?

[PooPusher007]

@timalynne yup we all do, except for the late arrivals

[timalynne]

@PooPusher007 late arrivals?



[EaiteFojdcee]

10 people challenged them.

[vmiarmy03]

Very cool! Definitely got goosebumps!  I love the Polynesian Culture and People!

[mar2667]

[Morgana0x]

Gives me goosebumps every time. Once they were warriors.

[Thefletch77]

Hung ga has Iron wire fist and rugby has the Haka AWSOME

[imodsmooth1]

Pussys

[gordonsmith56]

@imodsmooth1

Tell you what mate. Get into a game of rugby and we'll see who the f***ing pussy is. You wouldn't last 20 minutes.

[eibbor17]

i love doing haka gets me more pumped then anything else

[EmotionalVirtuosity]

PUTOS

[Harish079561]

This is shit compared to the union dance

[Trinitrotoluo]

Even if i wouldnt show fear infront of them, i'd be shitting bricks without anyone knowing. That dance is freaking awesome!

[godfather247]

Your iq must exceed 100 to have come up with that brilliance you're probably a descendant of those retards

[godfather247]

@Tzeitel10

[NXTGaMeSeViDeOs]

[chrissychrisowns]

@ joeschmojo  Shut the fuck up dude Rugby is the best,so is lacrosse.....

[Ch0d3n1]

[NeonGlowification]

That is so cool. I wish i was a New Zealand native..

[scastrolima]

thank god i won't have to challenge them

[Vinny86100]

@joeschmojo im guessing your a football fan and my assumptions would be proven in that you can barely construct a sentence which footballers are notorious for 'you know'

[adrianwhiterules]

u gotta wonder what th other team was thinking when they wer doing tht

[adrianwhiterules]

oookkkkk ttthhhhheeeennnnn........i know whos team not to play soccer with.....those guys!!

[Ixp00nxM4ny]

@adrianwhiterules Rugby.

[PendejosGoneEstupe]

[margpapad88]

[MyJarjarbinx]

my ancestors did it and i will do and if you make fun of it ..then I will eat you and turn in to my shit..>:(

[godfather247]

I respect other cultures but my people would have fucked them up with their dumb little war dance, they look like a bunch of third grade retards

[TZEITEL10]

@godfather247 They say ignorance is bliss,you should be really happy.

[markyemark1]

Newzeland one trick pony, rugby is all you have! crap at everything else!!! pathetic country really :)

[UHtiger]

@markyemark1 well yes nz are very good at rugby, and i mean VERY good. However you couldn't really say they are one trick. Current rugby league world champs, current netball world champs, current touch football world champs, world champions in rowing, triathlon, past and present world champs in shot put, discus, k1 kick boxing, Tua made it to number 2 ranked heavy weight boxer, cycling, nz owned the worlds most prestigious yachting race for about a decade and many others.

[Sutho404]

@markyemark1 you got owned by UHtiger HAHA

[TZEITEL10]

@markyemark1 WETA film studio's,responsible for brilliant special effects in The Lord of the Rings trilogy.Narnia ,Master and Commander amongst others.

[martinmaine1990]

It is so unique for this team to do this I cannot even think of any other country in the world doing this excellent ritual before playing, I can only think of my team, with Lio Messi heading the dance and saying" auahaha okoikdhjdh ihhhh!!!"

[themikeymonkey]

damn this is good !!!

[WildWolf21]

..and that's why New Zealand is my favorite team. =D

[ni99anugget]

shame they lost the game tho

[stehlify]

i feel sad, becouse i'm not New Zealander ): fuuuuuu*k i can imagine, how proud you must be ! ! ! So powerful ... so ... i don't have words ...

[Maxyboyslash44]

The opponent is watching like it´s nothing, but 8 of them just pissed their pants.

[capik012]

aww



[gooooooool1000]

Where's the fear button!

[DariaHayden]

"one of the great sights in sport".. hell yeah it is!

[spottysocks14]

haka before I root

[canlipompa]

you don't have to like it, just respect it

[fritzkat]

FEAR THIS>>>>>>

[chris84bloom]

Leonidas' 300 could learn a thing for two from these guys.

[FULANODETAL]

@chris84bloom spartans prefered to play soft music before a battle,"free your mind"it worked in 90% of spartan battles..

[5320753]

the guys in red look scared shitless

[ArthurComenta]

They are, for me a brizilian, saying: I GONNA DESTROY YOU !

[ARCHERDAVE1]

I'm not particular to either side, but this choreography is queer. The other side look like men, while the All-Blacks look like they are about to hump a buffalo. Reminds me of when Indiana Jones just pulls out a pistol and shoots the savage arab dead.

[maoribattalion]

@ARCHERDAVE1 ?

[igorradovic93]

Jebes mi mater ako ovi nisu ludi XD

[Tw1St3DSt33L]

For many opponents, that was the last thing they saw....( Back when Maori's had their biggest balls and fought for what they wanted)

[m1trekker]

@Tw1St3DSt33L It was also probably the last thing that many Maoris did before being shot.

[maoribattalion]

@m1trekker history says otherwise. Mortality rates for the British were often 10 to 1 Maori, despite overwhelming numbers.

[m1trekker]

@maoribattalion History says nothing of the sort - at the beginning of the 19th century the Maori were overwhelmed by the British during the Musket wars resulting in fragmentation amongst the Maori, certain tribes were given muskets that they used against other Maori in inter-tribal wars. This tribal fighting continued during the Land/Maori wars. I don't know why you introduce the British into the equation, my original comment stands.

[maoribattalion]

@m1trekker Sorry, my mistake, thought you were another rascist revisionist crowing fantasy British military superiority.

The Musket wars were a continuation of centuries old tribal feuds. Aotearoas' fragmented alliances aren't a British claim.

Also Maori weren't overwhelmed, and the British never gave but traded, and resisted trading guns to a people they were hesitant to aggravate.

Maori obsession for iron products led to trading with everyone, including the Syrians.

[ALEKO19]

pure power

[Shadowfang3000]

I think their foes just shat theirselves D:

[skitsofrantic]

I think if you played football against the NFL players you would say other wise. It's easy to talk shit from behind a computer screen.

Haka is bad ass btw.

[ELFLACOVICTOR]

NFL IS FOR FAT OUT OF SHAPE FAGGOTS

RUGBY IS THE GAME.....

AND A WAR DANCE LIKE THIS WILL SCARE ANY NFL LOW LIFE ANY DAY OF THE WEEK

[Mr62ford]

talk about some intimidating shit!

[oblivionduex]

shit scary



[mahafutau]

The all blacks probably smashed them like always. I love our polynesian culture.

[arnukas111]

@dustman9009 stfu and go watch hannah montana

[Arielilloillo]

wow I can feel the power O:

[BooRadleysGhost]

that is sick

[groundguy]

u shouldnt feel proud if your from new zealand and your white o.o....u gota be brown for that one ;D

[MsDiddleyDee]

@groundguy

I don't know if you realised, but there are white New Zealanders on the team, and they look just as into it as the rest of the team so maybe you should pull your head in.

The colour of someones skin doesn't and shouldn't dictate the feelings they have for the country they call home.

[backcatcher04]

I saw the Haka at a baseball event performed by the New Zealand team last year and it was awesome to watch! A crowd favourite.

[poopybooty24]

South High Bakersfield ! Rebels all day <3 !

[theJsm2112]

shit is gay son...

[buitrago1979]

@theJsm2112 ur gay son

[Eruera96]

@theJsm2112 _ Your mother is a street hooker.

[jamick84]

you dont have to know the language in order to understand what they mean,.. uh...

[sjeito]

the other team almost poops

[WineRedX]

i love it, Just God knows how many people they ate before the game,hehehe.lovely dance.

[PatroniFan]

This is so hot.

[fished13]

I just saw invictous, so of course I had to look it up!!

[PatroniFan]

american football is actually Rugby for pussies.

[discod27]

I think Im a rubgy fan now

[wacsa]

1:00 1:10 some guy were shaking

[FlyingHellFish99]

@wacsa julian white i think he is, doubt hes shaking now tbh :P jittering from foot to foot!

[chester801]

dude im canadian and what to learn this dance it gets me all jacked up

[pumpmctank]

aha, our highschool football team does this before every game, it scares the shuit out of the opponents

[stratego]

One of the greatest traditions in Rugby... and, as a Canadian, the only one I know...

[GigglinMarley]

Did they win?

[bigmommawithlipgloss]

reminds me of the uruk hais from lotr

[dautzen]

Hell yes!

[aspirinemaga]

i do Maori Haka everynight for my girlfriend

[shreenisheeth]

nice :) meaning of Haka dance is very impressive and energetic :)

[Lokelani62288]

If anyone knows this is not for fear it is for the team to get excited for a game.

[mythrilmoth]

I'm sorry, but the haka is the most retarded thing I have ever witnessed in my life. How exactly is this supposed to instill fear or terror? If I were faced with a Maori warrior, and they started doing this shit--especially when they do the stupid tongue thing--I'd be too busy laughing my ass off. (Of course, they'd then kill me while I was busy rolling on the ground laughing, so whatever works, but...)

[D2MER2]

@mythrilmoth What do you about haka ?

By reading your poem I guess it's nearby Nothing

[mythrilmoth]

...."poem"?

Learn English before you try to insult people on the Internet. Seriously. You're just embarassing yourself.

[D2MER2]

Poem : A verbal composition designed to convey experiences, ideas, or emotions in a vivid and imaginative way.....

Irony : The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning...

Do you feel insulted ? .... (Irony)

[somedude221]

I dunno about you man, but if some huge, muscular dude just started shouting at me and acting like he wanted to kick my ass, I'd be pretty scared.

[skankibounca]

The English soldiers found it the most disturbing thing they have ever faced. Maori being experts in gurella warfare often hid in trees and bushes near a Garrison and started chanting, it made the English fear as they could not see their enemy, and often Maori ate their dead, which all put together is one fuck of a scary concept!

[kurtkinski]

NZ RULEZ

[Heater701]

God, what an inspiring piece of culture. i never fail to get goose bumps every time i watch it. I'm a Malaysian and i've loved the haka ever since i saw it performed live at a New Zealand embassy function in Kuala Lumpur. Is it possible for a non-Maori/New Zealander to learn it?

[smaoproducts]

I feel powerful now

[calgaryunderground]

@smaoproducts I hear it my head and want to shred through concrete and punch satan in the dick.

[smaoproducts]

@calgaryunderground I hear you :D

[skateerssuck]

number 13 used to play with munster and my dad coaches his son thgey are good friends

[IIPlayerx]

just shat myself !!

[Geunoviere]

yup i now have brown pants

[volturn]

muy cagados!!

[hcoll]

*BONER*

[iriasyrenee]

oh my god. that's so cool, so powerfull. jesus christ, wow.

[dOlCeCaRaMeLo]

cave man lol

[Kanedx]

jajaja estaban cagados los rivales

[Theeman32]

pshhh i'll tell you wats for men! UFC!!!

[nzrugbybtch]

yeah ufc, its real fighting. getting one lucky high kick to someones face and beatin the shit outta them when their on the ground.

shut the fuck up bitch

[Theeman32]

lucky high kick? theres barely any high kicking at all, start watching a fight and not a "game" pansy

[thelaceman]

theeman32, I think "watching" is the main word. You taking credit for something you're watching? I bet you can't even fight OR play rugby dickhead

[creatyve]

@thelaceman well said..i bet these guys can take on UFC guys any day.

[jerekornder]

yeah the spirit of the dance transends technique and endurance.

[TheBurnwitme]

@ booogdi1992 your a fucking idiot.

[Mercedes4life]

the HAKA against france was better!!!!

[denzelmendoza]

...for Real MEN!

[nefam987]

@booogdi1992 there is nothing wrong with the NFL. more people actually get hurt playing American football than rugby because of pads. but rugby is better :-D

[xxBasketballgirl211x]

@booogdi1992

If the NFL is for fags then why do the players get paid WAY more?

Sports are supposed to be fun. In the NFL, they have fun.

I don't know ruby but I know that if my team saw someone do that to us, we would run like hell. I'm American, I play football and I love it.

Rugby is more dangerous, but football is more fun.

I know football players who could take down anyone in this video, but I also know football players who wouldn't stand a chance against these guys.

[omegalpha93]

@xxBasketballgirl211x Rugby players are so much more fit than any NFL player by far, im a new zealander and im still at highschool, we love rugby, theres more than 15 teams in my school alone, NFL is also no where near as rough as rugby but just because its rough that doesnt mean we dont have fun.

[Vinny86100]

@xxBasketballgirl211x how much u get paid doesnt determine the quality or toughness of a sport if thats the case u reckon soccer/football players arent fags? cos i fuckin beg to differ

[PapaAnon]

@booogdi1992 You mean for real men? xD

[mikekiske]

@booogdi1992  Why? because they scream as they make the sitting movement? LOL

[woodsman513]

@booogdi1992 ummm yeah that makes no sense. im a fan of rugby and football. football players suffer the same injuries as rugby players do. the helmets and padding are crap. when you get hit by a football player its like getting hit by a freight train just like in rugby. the only real purpose for the padding and stuff is so they can slam into each other a lot harder. but other than that everything from the hits to the injuries is the same

[deathtopopstars]

@booogdi1992 i wish america played rugby

[jizzyfizzle2008]

@deathtopopstars full of steroids? oO

[Dragonfireprod]

@booogdi1992 Men

[Dragonfireprod]

@booogdi1992 not boys haha

[bryancarlton]

@booogdi1992 rugby is for boys football is for men

[chiloooooo]

haha Scary song^^

[mwoldin]

This is a very beautiful thing. Why don't we do this in the NFL?

They overcome their fears of the upcoming struggle by pumping up the group, all together in one unit of terror and unstoppable force!

Yet there seems no brutality it. More a clean, savage force of emotion.

[kmanx]

this is NOT ka mate, anyone knows what they are saying? or which haka is this?

[newzealeb]

its ko niu tereni

[rakinkayes]

timatanga....the new zealand maori haka

[PHATMAN213]

[PHATMAN213]

Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka ora! Ka ora! I die! I die! I live! I live! Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka ora! Ka ora! I die! I die! I live! I live! Tenei te tangata puhuru huru This is the hairy man Nana nei i tiki mai Who fetched the Sun Whakawhiti te ra And caused it to shine again A upa ... ne! ka upa ... ne! One upward step! Another upward step! A upane kaupane whiti te ra! An upward step, another.. the Sun shines!!

[newzealeb]

dat isnt d ka mate haka lol

[Theeman32]

i wish i could learn to do that war dance

[88HyBrId619]

Does anyone what they're saying? I wanna know what it means

[misnjoe]

when a haka is performt and one of the dude's sticks his tongue out its means:Once I Kild You I Wil Eat You

[mesorangerxx]

thats actually true, and a maori warrior kill someone they will cook them and eat them to get mana

[byacommoncold]

Think of it as the ultimate insult, I'm going to kill you, and then turn you to shit.

[CheesyPanda1]

Very Awesome!!!

[perpexel]

wut does the song mean

[thatguyyouknow2]

Which haka is this?

[nzpyro]

teme tanga

[nzpyro]

sorry.. i mean timatanga. you hear the commentator say the end of the name in the first split second of the video. Translates to "in the beginning'.

[galleif]

omfg.. that must be so scary for the other team, i would shit my pants

[dmc41987]

All Blacks Rule.

[sjyfjsyf124]

oh yeah im a kiwi yerr nz ftw!!!!!!!!!!!!
