THE NEW ZEALAND MAORI ARE A STRONG ANG PROUD CULTURE.

This video was taken in HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA. "THE ENTERTAINMENT CAPITOL OF THE WORLD."

With RESPECT TO THE NEW ZEALAND CULTURE. The Feared WERO Warrior Challenge, like the HAKA is "RESPECT EARNED" and should be taken SERIOUSLY. Known as The Land of the Long White Clouds, before a Battle and to see if you are (Friend or Foe) the Fierce New Zealand Maori send out a single Warrior first. To find the other Tribes Chief.


As seen on "Once were Warriors" and "Whale Rider"

The Weapon is known as a "Taiaha".


In the History and Culture of the New Zealand Maori when a Warrior sticks out his Tongue, it is meant to say that "This is how your head will look when it is on the end of a Spear/Stick".

****KIAORA, OUT OF RESPECT, FOR THE NEW ZEALAND CULTURE, I TRULY APOLIGIZE FOR THE EDITORS MISSPELLING OF THE WORD "WERO" IN THE OPENING OF THIS VIDEO****

THE MAORI WARRIOR SHOWN IN THE VIDEO,

HAS ALSO PERFORMED 2 TIMES WITH THE FAMOUS ALL NEW ZEALAND GROUP 'WISHART FAMILY" DOING THE "NEW ZEALAND WARRIOR HAKA", FOR THE DIRECTORS,PRODUCERS AND ACTORS FROM THE MOVIE "THE LORD OF THE RINGS" AT THE OSCAR AWARDS, IN HOLLYWOOD CALIFORNIA.

  • The woman commentating is an idiot! This is not a challenge to be laughed at or trivialised. Had this taken place in New Zealand that woman would have been embarrassed in front of everyone for the fool she is. Also the man performing this should have replied to this lack of respect.

  • the fact the the lady fcked up a bit is somewhat irrelevant to the positive learning about the Maori culture,the kids got. Yeah, she should have done more homework, but hey, she's American, and those kids loved it, and would have gone away with a real interest in learning more about Aotearoa and its Tangata whenua. It's way easier to look at faults, than widen your perspective and look beyond it, people are not perfect, they make mistakes, and if we judge everyone, we will never move forward.

  • shouldn't blame the lady dude....Whoever is running that whole debarkle is the idiot! I've been a kiwi host/ambassador for many years and as far as i know unless you have a written narrativel it's yr own people that explain whats going on and why!!!!!!Seriously...

  • If you laugh while the men do there haka, boy they will PUKANA at you and let me tell you! you wil be scared out of your pants!

    The haka around when our ancestors were around was a amazing story. The maori's did it to scare the other soilders and when they do it , it means "IM GONNA EAT YOU"

  • @alohakikadude first of all i know its Liu so dont $#%#$ with me. oh yea people who eat people are the best fighter i guess we can agree with that. and the toung thing they do is retarded

  • @lou0kang Dude, with all due respect to the Shaolin monks and warrior monks, that show was based on statistics. I just saw Leonardo DiCaprio beat a group of thugs. That doesn't mean that actors can whoop everybody. The warriors respect the art of the battle. The fact that you use a video game name (Liu Kang is the correct spelling, tells us a great deal about your mental age.

    To the Maori, lou0kang only represents the television warrior generation. Long live our Maori Brothers, Sisters.

  • SNAP OUT OF IT BRO, ITS A BIT LIKE OUR ANCESTORS LEARNING ENGLISH, HOW BLOODY FUNNY WOULD THAT HAVE BEEN TO PAKEHA IN THE DAY...BE PROUD THAT OUR LANGUAGE AND CULTURE HAS REACHED OUT TO THE WORLD, KNOW MATTER WHAT FORM IT IS PRESENTED IN....IT WAS AN EXHIBITION AND NOTHING ELSE, THEY RESPECTED US, BY JUST HAVING US THERE...WHEN IN ROME, DO AS ROME DICTATES, AND RESPECT THE COUNTRY YOUR VISITING...VISITING, THE KEY WORD HERE....SO....MUCH RESPECT TO OUR AMERICAN INDIAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS..PEACE

  • this bitch is a retard mate, i fucking hate americans you'd think she'd research us a bit harder b4 a show like that, but na as usual fucking yanks think they no all arrogant cunts!

  • @hazza3 get over it they lost ok dont cry about it
