I've seen this without the pants on the dancers like in a really traditional way......much more impressive and so much more fierce ty for sharing the video.
The METUPAKI was ACTUALLY adopted From Wallis and Futuna Islands by the Tongans. My GMA (on the 2 dollar bill of TONGA) said most tongans didnt know the Actual history, Just 2 Let blankz Know...The REAL HISTORY of the Metupaki!
dis dance the first one(me etu paki ) is very ancient and they are singin in the olden tongan language in which barely no1 kuld understand it now... it was out before the kailao

This ancient war dance is called "METUPAKI"(first one) was only adopted by people in "MUA" (old capital) now it is taught throughout Tonga.
