2012!... Do it again boys! Mahalo for your heart Obrien!!!

[olddocman]

@TheDelphineus. I conceed that point of that the puffiness of thier garment is probably for ceremonial reinactments. While reviewing the video again, a thought struck me, the dance movements could have been actual combat movements. Could the dance been a way for warriors learning combat movements. Like when they are on one knee with thier long staff crossed with thier short one. Could that have been a defensive movement from an overhead strike from an opponent ?

[zhyarnkatie]

KIA ORA FROM TE WHANAU A APANUI ...AOTEAROA

[olddocman]

I just wonder, the clothing these warriors are wearing. The reason that it looks so puffed out is because the great wrap they wore in that period had to to be drawn up about the hips and belly to get it out of the way for combat, sorta like a Roman soldier who "Gird his loins" prior to combat to get his tunic out of the way.

[TheDelphineus]

@olddocman Think the exagerrated puffiness is more ceremonial than functional. Doubt they wore anything like that into actual combat...more likely it was much simpler.

[kilana1986]

@olddocman correct

[KylinNicole]

@3:42 the third guy from the left is off a little, but otherwise it's amazing! I've always loved these guys.
