  • I'm not scared of two small shitty clubs... however I may be scared of the man wielding them

  • @Meixafuhellzman2 the only thing shitty is your pretty ignorant comment. The mere is highly valued in the Maori culture. A strike from a mere can destroy a persons rib cage causing death. these weapons can also remove skull cap. I dont get into flaming in youtube its far better to try educate :)

  • @mb1968nz But they still lost to the ole "Load Aim Fire" that's why they lost the NZ Land Wars and had land confiscated legally lol

  • @bommer321 you probably havnt heard of the musket war then? tribe vs tribe? the maori had a significant period of time to adjust and adapt to the introduction of the gun. during the land wars the maori were very capable fighters and respected by there opponents they were also the first to sucessfully utilise modern trench warefare. Maori were never beaten outright in battle but more victims of white justice and greed.

  • @mb1968nz Maori were beaten at every turn otherwise there would be no treaty today ? Just saying don't get mad lol. Also that sounds a little Racist White Greed lol so it wasn't just the British but all WHITE people lol you like the rest of Maori like to re write history to suit yourselves a piece of advice get the chip off your shoulder's and get over it stop the hatred and learn to live happily without always whining about what was done forgiveness will set your people free LMFAO

  • @bommer321 Note the treaty was signed before the land wars. beaten every turn? Ohaeawai Pa, Rangiriri, Gate Pa are listed defeats for the british. the british were white I merely stated a fact. Maori never rewrote history the truth came out. btw I certainly dont have a chip on my shoulders and happily socialise and work along side pakeha as do most maori. to-date the crown has admitted breaches of the treaty resulting in $952,082,645 apx in settlements thus far. researchable facts and yours?

  • @moatwog The "Mere" is a short club made from Green Stone only found in in Aotearoa. This weapon was deadly in the hands of a competent user, capable of breaking ribs and removing skull caps with one blow the results are fast rapid death. - Keywords: "Maori Weapon The Mere" for more Info.
