  • I want to clear something up. The Ka Mate predates the All Blacks. People here seem to think it came into existence specifically for the All Blacks. That's the case with Kapa O Pango, but not Ka Mate. The Ka Mate is actually a celebration of life and there's nothing wrong with other teams doing it. BYU doing the Kapa O Pango would be somewhat strange, since it mentions the warriors in black and silver fern.

  • its funny because they're Mormons...and they're doing a Polynesian war dance to their deities...idiots

  • Haka is universal, is the power of the male heart united in strenght, coordination and a common goal. I like that people is watching to old traditions: we are warriors and we need warrior food---->Haka is a warrior food :)

  • I always knew Mormons were a little strange....just kidding. I would sever a finger to be this cool.

  • THIS IS A GREAK HAKA. So funny! w w w. youtube. com / watch ? v=l5H4CTiepd8

  • This its the best haka in the world!

    /watch?v=B2tEnPEIsK4

  • look this, /watch?v=2FrE57ZjQrY&feature=p­layer_embedded

  • love the haka when hunter does it but fuck bywho??? Pac12 bitches

  • They look fucking retarded doing that... Only the All blacks should be able to do that shit.

  • @MrBobbySasquatch they dnt look retarded ,

  • @amlayy96 yea they do in there stupid american football uniforms... It's only cool when the All blacks rugby team do it. There's a reason why this video has so many dislikes

  • @MrBobbySasquatch well it doesnt really matter many schools with majority of polynesians do it in their fball uniforms. there is nothing wrong as long as they know the meaning..

  • @Moko8298 I not represents NZ

  • @MrBobbySasquatch Is EVERY player on the All Blacks Maori?

  • @AnaheimAngels24 The reason All Black do the Haka because they represents NZ

  • why they dickriding. if you aint part of the culture dont do it. straight up disrespect.  they probably suck anyway lol

  • idunno..but kahuku highschool football was the 1st american football team to do the haka so everybody stop ur shitt hahaha

  • that was a disgrace to rugby

  • no the haka forst off is for rugby, not football, second its for the newZealand all blacks, anyone else doing it would be a disgrace

  • @AVBlocker Really? WTF. Rugby started by the British and brought to the island where the Haka was already being practiced by the Maori native. So, a sport started by white Europeans is the only thing allowed to the Haka? Sounds sooooooo much different than American Football to me. Again, the ignorance of All Black fans is astounding.

  • in 2010, the byu football team had more players who were born in the Polynesian islands than the current new Zealand all blacks. its a fact, look it up.

  • this is a slap in the face to new zealand rugby. straight disrespect.

  • I have to laugh at people taking themselves seriously while making those faces and dancing like frogs. At the same time, its degrading to see Americans doing the haka. I hope they lost every game after this dance.

  • THIS is how you edit a Haka video. Not with shitty techno or with the video and audio shifting through out the different transitions and years. Just a clean edit. Respect.

  • Are you guys aware that the BYU football team has an extremely large percentage of polynesians on the team? They are not mocking the culture, many of them are originally from it.

  • @bestdecpetions thank you!!! what idiots!!! we are native americans, not just americans. Hence the native in front of the american, duh!!!

  • The first time I saw the Haka performed, it was by a mixed group of kiwis, various islanders and white boys from Utah. When they did the Haka it didn't matter where they were born or what color their skin was.  When they did the Haka they were the same; they were brothers.

  • This is so stupid!

  • I don't mind them doing the Haka but they should at least do it right. Maori never jumped at the end that was a stupid thing introduced by the early All Blacks to make it look better. Originally Maori would never have jumped from the land they were trying to defend they kicked back with one foot to throw up dust and confuse their enemy and make it look like they have more warriors

  • @NZbroncos

    Also, incorrect, learn your own culture, There are many many many different forms of Haka through polynesian islands, some involved, dancing, some didn't, some were war dances, some were celebration, it is a common misconception that there is 1 haka, or even, that it's only a war dance, there is not. Although the "All Blacks" have made their own Haka, famous, people assume this is the only Haka or even that a Haka has only 1 set of moves, it's like saying Hip-Hop is 1 song.

  • @acadia1106 of course I know their is more than one Haka, but for ease I referred to Ka mate (the one their preforming) as "The Haka". And yes there are many Haka across the pacific islands but Ka Mate is a Maori one made by Te Rauparaha.

  • @NZbroncos

    That's fine and all, but you were trying to imply that there is no jumping or this that and or the other, specifically, you can adapt a Haka as u like, like the "all blacks" did. If you really want to get technical, so, I don't understand the uproar over what the BYU folks did. It wasn't mocking, imitation is the best form of flattery, so, with that said, I don't understand your comment. Like I said, Hip-Hop is all over the world, do you see blacks in the US saying don' rap?

  • show one part not millions of parts. gosh horrible video

  • Fucking jerk-off steal from the All Blacks. Make it at least original, you moke motherfucker...

  • it doesn't matter who performs the Haka and it doesn't matter how they perform it, as long as they know the meaning and purpose of the Haka and show respect for it and its origins

  • @1horyazmaori i agree with you i am learning this with my friend

  • @1horyazmaori you'd just think that people would be proud of their own countries and cultures and not want to use others, but guess that shows that NZ has the best if some of these American Football teams use it

  • @nzwarriors83 its called America and America isnt just one culture its every single culture in the world. whats so bad of learning a different culture

  • @nzwarriors83

    Hey do you listen to hip-hop? Do you have Kiwi rappers? I guess you should stick to Haka's and traditional Kiwi music ... right ....???

    The US isn't one culture that's what makes it different from the rest of the world, it's one of the few countries who's purpose is to integrate many many many cultures, hence why it's called "the melting pot".

  • EL haka es de Nueva Zelanda! lo impusieron los "All-Blacks" ! y lo usan en un verdadero deporte que se llama RUGBY!!!!!! la verdad cuando los vi me dieron repulsion. nunca van a poder llevar cosas del rugby al futbol americano... porq el RUGBY es + !

  • To those who are DISSING this vid:

    i`m a kiwi, a maori by design, but when you comment about the americans perfoming the haka you become ENRAGED, Ask yourself this, were did the computer with the software that enabled you to search for "youtube" came from, Where did the music(RAP,POP,COUNTRY,HEAVY METAL) you listened to on itunes or windows media come from, So be lucky they aren`t "DISSING US" for listening, EATING, wanking over, or playing with their cultural inventiveness.

  • @NZTGI different point .

    This is a Cultural perspective their coming from .

    Dis-respectful to the maori culture and their tradtions .

    Anyways that's the way I see it .

    But I see where your coming from though , and very much agreed .

  • compran todo estos boludos...

  • one who doesnt know his culture ,

    he couldve of lead iht right!

  • Frik ie hate wacthing americans attempt the haka its a big F*** to our culture

  • THATS RIGHT, FUCK YOUR CULTURE

  • Fuck you kuunt you have no culture bitch!

  • Aww, little bitch gonna cry now? go change your tampon you pussy.

  • Gay kuunt il show youu a fuucken puusy wen ie fuucken smash yuuh bitch!

  • Smash me? So you are a Pussy and a Homosexual... That seems about right considering your little hula you guys perform.

  • JeremyStenton trolls haka videos looking for gay buttsex. It's just one of many things the white man created.

  • @JeremyStenton

    Finally, something me and the racist agree upon

  • @tiro56

    Dumbass

    The leader is Maori

  • i love how people don't realize that not all of the players on that team are American and since it's BYU most of those players are polynesian..... the stupidity and narrow mindedness of people never ceases to amaze me....

  • Isn't sharing one's culture and having it embraced a good thing? That's what America has always been about. Saying only the Maori should do the Haka is like saying only Cubans should dance Salsa.

  • @Tiffanie0315

    agreed..its just that people like outspokendestroyer are too ignorant to understand that..funny thing is that he claims to be from the US! hahaha dumbass

  • Comment removed

  • @13executioner13

    1st of all, nobody's even talking to your dumbass..so why you gonna try and start shit? and 2nd, living in the U.S doesn't make you less of a "polynesian" than living in your "mother-land" makes you more of a "polynesian"..so chill uce! besides, you're from the "U.S" so SHADAP..hahaha idiot

  • @Tiffanie0315 there's a guide line for every culture and what it brings so before you bring all that crap about cultural heritage remember that there is a line that you crossed if your going to far

  • you can always depend on maori fuckwits to make this a racial issue..hahaha puuuuukaaaana-shaaadaaaap! hahaha

  • go fuck your mother.

  • @outspokendestroyer : easy there internet "gangster" hahaha

  • @chone808

    oh,my bad. I see you're a young mother.

    mistook you for a guy until I went to your channel. LOL

  • @outspokendestroyer

    oh ouch that hurt..just like how you wanna-be maoris take it up the ass, which explains that stupid face yall make when you do the hula..wait i meant the faka..oish my bad, the haka..peruperu my nutts you busta..

  • Comment removed

  • my brothers friend is on the byu football team and when he does tha haka he says that the team gets really into it and they kind of like pop thier eyes(not really) out and bleed cause the hit themselves so hard and stuff he said its really intense....

  • I'm an american, a maori-american, and I hate to see part of my culture being performed by cheap imitators who don't know what the FUCK they're doing.

  • lol

    were they doing the haka in the toilets to themselves?...lol

  • Slap the hands against the thighs

    Puff out the chest

    Bend the knees

    Let the hip follow

    Stamp the feet as hard as you can!

    We are the All Blacks, of the New Zealand people.

    Here we are to face you.

    We will do you the honor of playing to the limits

    that our hearts and sinews impose upon us.

    We will be very hard to beat.

  • lame very lame

  • Ka mate, ka mate Ka ora, ka ora

    Ka mate, ka mate Ka ora, ka ora

    Tēnei te tangata pūhuruhuru

    Nānā i tiki mai whakawhiti te rā

    Upane, kaupane Upane, kaupane

    Whiti te rā Hi!

    this is the HAKA you have no fucking idea what it means unless you go goggle it

    why the fuck do you say it in a USA football game???

  • This stupid TV channel skipped half the Haka. They have Tongans, Samoans, and Maori on the team. They started to do the Haka when one the of the Maoris on the teams dad died who was a tribal leader. They do it to honor him.

  • .

    this is exactly a copy off the All Blacks RUGBY

    word by word...that's lame!!!

    .

  • its not a rugby thing. its a maori tribal tradition. its said by all maori warriors before going into battle. not just rugby.

  • i bet there's a lot of maori warriors in the NFL!!!

  • copy off the all blacks !! are you kidding me?

  • dude this is a maori war ritual, the all blacks are from new zeland...

    what does the american football team has to do with that tradition???americans don't have any history behind...so you copy others

  • nah dude you understood me wrong i was critising lisaboa6 for thinking that the team came up the the war dance

  • Did you ever think that there may have been a Samoan on the football team? seeing as many Samoans have recently started playign American football at a high level. It's called sharing your cultures with others. Get your shit straight before you call people out on "copying".

  • BYU.. the National Power

  • My 6'5" 270 rugby playing son just might take one of them out. He's in far better shape than most American football players, and a heck of a lot faster!

  • Comment removed

  • jonah lomu would smash any nfl player

    and there are numourous other rugby players that would the

    manu vatuvei

    sonny bill williams

    jerrry collins and heaps more

    nfl players are pussy's

  • true dat........jonah lomu is da real legend

  • Kinda lame because its an All Blacks thing....actually its more embarrasing to see this.

  • It is an All Blacks thing, Its cool to see these guys doing it, but It sucks because you know they do it for show, and theres no meaning behind it for them.

  • It's is supposed to intimidate. It looks like a joke. Watch the All Blacks - that's a spectical - this is an embarrassment

  • You are and will allways be Warrior's Maori's ... Och Aye Lads

  • Damn, why is everyone so sensitive??!! First of all, alot of these guys doing this in this clip ARE MAORI!! I only say a couple of white guys.....and even if they aren't doing it perfectly or they should be doing it without the pads......who CARES?? Do you think they are on purpose trying to disrespect the HAKA? My wife is Maori, should she be offended? She thinks its cool that these guys took the time to learn the HAKA(even if they aren't doing it perfect). what a joke, and end the racisim

  • Doesn't have the same effect as when Hawaii does it.

  • the ''HAKA''S old school jus let da ''ALL BLACKS'' do it in sport the yanks shou do sum thing of ther culture!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and not copy any1 elses!!!! .......dont get me wrong iv got a lot of respect 4 american football!!!!!! i had 2 brothers who played 4 five years!!!!! i played 1 game its FUCKEN CRAZY!!!!!!!

  • Differance between them and our rugby players, WE DONT WEAR PADDING.

  • if rugby players didn't wear padding while playing football, they'd break their scrawny little necks.

  • Dude, I was talking about all out fighting.

    When I said "rip to shreds" it wasn't an unchiseled metaphor I actually meant they could rip them apart.

  • Well NFL players on average are about 40-50 lbs heavier as they train for power exclusivly over endurance, so probably not. Stupid comment though, why bring up who would win in a fight? These are 2 different sports, but neither involes fighting to win.

  • Like I said, wishful thinking. Saying that a rugby player could rip to shreds a football player it's like saying a declawed house cat could rip apart a german shepherd. Wishful thinking.

  • Ridiculous

  • this is shite...

    The New Zealand rugby team would rip ANY american football team to shreds. It's just fuckin' embarassing

  • So true

  • Wishful thinking. No scrawny 155 pound rugby player is going to tear any 250 pound football player to shreds. He would get sat on first.

  • it ain't about size.....its about toughness and endurance, something that ruggers have on american football players

  • eh been in yankie land too long that was soft that was shit that was a discrace take those pads of f you poofs if you think yous are maori fucken been taking it in the ass from those americans soft soft fucken softcocks

  • dosent make the same efect with more fat.

    The All black still on top.

  • uus suck iit not funny

  • que asco que son estos putos americanos

  • cbs..delete dis shit man before my maoriz put a patu on ur arse

  • this is a maori tradition it goes back years, kiaora to those that count. proud to be kiwi.......

  • It doesn't have the same effect. It looks very cringing.

  • try as they might....it look very funny. thanks for the laugh guys!

  • idiots, haka does not belong to you -_-

  • yea the haka belong to All Blacks

  • People of maori descent, i am very sorry for this tragedy.

  • This tradition began at BYU by the son of a Maori chief who plays at BYU

  • in all honesty the Haka does not belong in American Football, yes i admit it looks cool, and intimidating but its a Maori war dance. if you want to do something intimidating before a game try taking something from your own culture instead. but what they are doing, thats just unorignal.

  • seriously wtf? .. it's just not ryt unless the all blacks are doing it -_-

  • WHAT A GAY HAKA!

  • Hey Pierce daragan. I always thought that rugby stoled the polynesian traditions -_-

  • this is possible the sadest thing ever, just shows how fucking dull amercian football is that they have to steal a rugby tradition

  • buaaaah what the fuck!!! this is football not rugby!!! the haka is from the all blacks!!! buuu you r a losers

  • out of it,true are there maoris in america?

    if the bros are maori they got the right 2 do it anywhere thay want. we should be stoked not hating,tha bros are repping up hard in usa

  • As much as I cringe when i see this, Outside of NZ and Aussie, Utah has the largest Maori Community, they even have a Marae over there. So no doubt, they would have had some input into this. Not the worse Haka I've seen.

  • str8 up man maoris here know when therez mana in a haka or when its for show and dat shits st8 for show because we dont jump around and clown around like dat shit dats american bullshit dats like a chinese imatation to us maori so if your gonna do a haka make sure it comes from your heart spiritually and emotionally or people dont feel shit we will just laugh MANA IT WHAT ITS ABOUT

  • True Dat Man! totally agree wit you....it's called ignorance. Just cause it looks good doesn't mean you have to do it!

  • This is so disrespectful fucking pussys with all there huge pads on! this is The All Blacks Tradition, how the fuck can they take that from them!

  • hey dumbass its more than just an All Blacks ritual. Its a polynesian ritual, so quit hatin

  • Lets just clarify this...Not just any Polynesian ritual

    It's Maori!

  • Lets just clarify this... Not just any Maori ritual

    Its Ngati Toa Rangatira haka.

  • So...right kia ora

  • cool, i thought you might take my comment serious

  • Comment removed

  • c sensé impressionné ???? mdr !!!!!!!!!

  • haha the fairy dance

  • you fallaz take your bloody pads off. THEN do the HAKA in front of 3 maori boys,and i bet my life that the 3 will over power you ladys

    RANGATIRATANGA AOTEAROA

  • Its just disrespectful......

  • How pathetic. A bunch of little white boys from Provo shouldn't be disgracing and disrespecting such an awesome cultural expression as the Haka.

  • How can you say anyhting when it hardly even shows anything

    there like 3 second clips of little parts of their haka at a time

    say they disgrace the haka and you cant even see what they do

  • Fuck off they disgrase the haka. Im a maori so I have the right to say that. And even the all blacks haka is weak. Half of them look like their having seizures. Do they even know what this haka means. This fucken pisses me off.

  • meannnnn they do it just as good as the all blacks

  • they wear body armor and helmets...

    that sucks...

  • Just a pale imitation of real Rugby New Zealand team ... lame

  • mmmmmm it's actually funny when they do it...nothing compared to the all blacks! But at least they put the effort!

  • Lame rip-off

  • um why are they ripping off the all blacks? and the maori?

  • Ahhh...who is this team? Do they know some people in NZ would be really pissed if they saw this???

  • They started it to honor the father of one of the Maori players on the team who had passed away and it is now a tradition. It is BYU and they have a tradition of having many South Pacific players on their team.

  • "Many south pacific players"? So why do the Ka Mate haka? Wouldn't the Samoan and Tongan players perform their own hakas? Probably not cause these motherless cunts don't know shit and couldnt care less about mocking maori.

  • american football is not rugby dont dream...american football = g**

  • hehe lol

  • they did a crap job for it... very bad

  • What the hell was that? sorry team if you don't know how to do it properly don't do it at all...

  • LOL How strange, never thought I'd see an American Football team doing the Haka!

  • that just looks wrong

  • What has an American College team got to do with the Maori haka????

  • *cough* Ripoff *cough* stolen from the All Blacks, now THEY know how to do a proper meanacing Haka XD

  • Are there any kiwis watching this who are ashamed of the way it was performed here?

  • this was on the news over here lol

  • Funny, isn't it, how it would take an american to rip off a culture they have no clue about? lol.

  • rip off artists it doesn't even look as good as the original

  • F***ing posers!!

  • Many of BYU football students are Hawaiian or are from Hawaii. Actually, many of them spend their summers runing Polynesian tourist attraction/park in Hawaii. It's pretty cool. Anyways, they do the Haka at the attraction. Believe it or not, Hawaiian and New Zealand people are very closely related, were both settled by the same type of Polynesian ancestors.

  • if ur gona do the haka atleast learn it properly and dont butcher it

  • nz all blacks would make those pad wearing pansies pack their pants

  • Why would they be doing the NZ All Black's Haka??

  • thats one of the all blacks haka's .i bet most of them dont even no what is means

  • nz represent

  • What a rip-off. It's sad to see an american football team performing the haka. It's a Maori dance not polynesian.

  • New Zealand All Black Rugby anyone?

  • lol for sure

  • Yeah, they're the best.. even though i SUPPORT the wallabies :D

  • thats not for rugby or anything

  • awesome!
