Best demonstration of Mau Rākau in action I've seen on the internet. Thanks heaps for sharing, there's not enough exposure out there for it!

[robzwol]

Glad you enjoyed it. I hope some of the guys of K2 and K23 company will be seeing these vids as well.

The Maori people believed that combat was sacred to their ancestors and they fought to acquire mana spiritual power and prestige. Cannibalism was fueled by the desire to gain the mana of a foe defeated in battle. Unlike most native cultures, the Maori were never conquered.

heard you Maori smashed a few British heads with that thing.

I respect that; I'd love to learn how to use it one day.

The Maori History is far from the Native American History, you might wanna play British Imperial some where else. Everyone who really knows the history,. knows it gets pretty ebarrasin for the British Loyals. anyway...Great demo..but...ya guys showed too much lol

Te kuare o etahi kiritea I runga I Te YouTube ,Mau rakau takes skill ,though many do not give it the respect in deserves ,it is more then just simply swinging a big stick ,it takes years of study and discipline to effectively use the taiaha in combat ,I know i have been a practitioner of mau rakau for about 4 years now

@spacestick1 lmfao but they weren't. They all signed the peace treaty and became citizens with the British. The Native Americans lost all of their land, were enslaved and only a few made a peace treaty with the British and Colonials. Hell, most American tribes were wiped out into extinction.

@Nanayification

if the native americans were conquered than so were the maori.

its as simple as that

[Nanayification]

@spacestick1 Actually the Native Americans were conquered. Slavery to Europeans and Arabs was a big thing and the Colonials taking their land by force.

[spacestick1]

@Nanayification

neither were the native americans

@MrKiwizimbo Ngati means tribe. Tumatauenga is the God of War. So, Ngati Tumatauenga is the Tribe of the God of War. More or less.

@Tekaani1 In Omaramutu marae today, their is an old Taiaha, that won a duel againt one English officer at the age of 25 losing the duel to a 50 yr old man holding a stick in a grass dress ,Is what they said (Taiahaha!).

Hours later the English officer was still getting over the crack he recevied from the old maori man
