@barukatube Haka is a dance form, it is used as a welcome, to show respect, to support a speaker or many other things. It is also used as exercise (once was, rare now). It can be similar to martial arts in that if learned properly it involves efficient powerful movement. It is mostly used to rev people up and encourage camraderie. Western nations still have many rituals to rev people up and get a group feel going on(cheerleaders, sports chants etc). This is just a really cool way to do it.
That Haka was Played on Henderson Airport. The Airport was named after an American Fighter Pilot fought at Midway during WW2. The airfield was used nowadays as an International airport. I think this is the best Haka i ever seen. Go the Kiwis.

24th February 2004, Henderson Airfield, Solomon Islands.
I was one of the Kiwi coppers doing the changeover with the Army boys. We rotated with our outbond cops for a six month depolyment as part of RAMSI.
Haka don't come much better than this one.
I don't think there was anyone at APOD who didn't have shivers running down their spines when this all went down.

fearsome!!
first time I saw a haka was a by NZ army unit in the 90's at a ceremony during their deployment in the balkans
at that time i was a conscript in the german air force and i remember thinking: "Thank the lord that they're on our side"
