@@benjaminfraser8208 well they arent the only ones "allowed" to do it. People who are proud of their culture always appreciates when a person outside of their culture wholeheartedly learns about and takes time to remember a tradition
It's funny, it was like they have never seen the Haka before......they probably hadn't. Anyhow....it doesn't really work when skinny basketball players do it.
The Enforcer probably because they don’t know what the haka is in the us they are not interested in other cultures meanwhile other countries like Canada or Australia are interested in the cultures of other countries
Yes, let's advance our society and technology to enable interstellar space travel and achieve our dreams of domination of galaxies and leave when first faced with the primitive lower lifeforms looking at us funny...
Honestly as a Māori Wahine ( female ), the best Haka are the ones that come from the heart, the ones done with so much mana and pride. The most thrilling ones that I’ve experienced are either from ‘Kapa Haka’ performances ( recommend people to watch clips of these, get a more solid look into our Māori culture ) and special family occasions. The most beautiful one for me was the one I received by my family from back home in New Zealand on camera for my 21st birthday over here in Australia. Every Haka tells a story, I know it may come off as weird to others but this is apart of my culture and identity. I take pride in it, honour it and down right love it.
Looks like they put way too much ugha bugha into the side show leading up to the actual sporting event and nothing into winning the games that they are there to participate in… 😱
An an Australian who's played school sport against a Kiwi team, I can confirm the HAKA is extremely intimidating! They are some tough mothers! Proud to call them neighbors!
Not intimidating at all you must be a right girl, I think it's nothing try it against a load of vikings they would get destroyed, I'd love to see the two tribes fight because we all know the mori what ever there called didn't conquer anyone ! But vikings conquered the world pretty much
@@danielbarnes6873 Nah vikings didn't conquered the world, mongolian almost did But anyway discussing which ethnic group is more powerful in different temporal and spatial contexts is meaningless. Regardless of which one of them stands before you, they can intimidate you makes you wetting your pants. You are just a pitiful keyboard warrior.
New Zealanders should get into world tournaments of golf, tennis, ping pong, bowling, poker, billiards, and other non-team sports so we could see a 1-v-1 haka.
Watch your mouth kid. Obviously my comment was directed towards "TideFan Yankee", reading comprehension must be hard to come by in a development country huh? Oh yes, I'm not American. I'm from Norway so pretty much everything compared to my country is third world.
Maori didn't have shields, and Taiaha were the closest thing to spears, though they were very short and closer to quarterstaff in how they were used. Think axes, and muskets.
Hakas are so powerful, both visually and emotionally. And the fact that if you are part of the team they don't care about your ethnicity or color or anything else, you have the right and the privilege to share this moment of brotherhood with your team mates. Just beautiful.
The Haka is only Māori. For our Samoa cousins, it would be the Siva Tau. Our Fiji cousins would be the Cibi, I believe. Also there is no ‘s’ in Te reo Māori, so it is just Haka.
You mean Union and Sevens? Not so much league lol, but then again we leave that for the Aussies to dominate. We're also pretty good at AFL, although so are PNG and Ireland. But we dominate Softball (ISF Men's World Championship) quite substantially.
I had the honour and privilege of seeing a Haka performed by members of the New Zealand Navy a number of years ago in an enclosed hall on a stage that was hollow underneath, even now over 20 years later I still remember the cold shiver up my spine witnessing it!! The Haka is something everyone has to witness live at some stage in their lives, they will never forget it!!
I remember this game. I was at work and everyone came in just to watch it on telly lol The game was being played like 3 blocks away from my job and you could literally hear the crowd roaring and horns blasting down the st. Obviously the game on TV is delayed so it was pointless watching the rest haha Twas a good night
The French got robbed by the referee because the world cup was in NZ. And the French ousted NZ two times in the WC (1999, 2007) so there's nothing to brag about.
Raising your arms high above your head like you just won a marathon or something before a job interview is supposed to boost your confidence, so I would say doing this when you are alone before an interview could help pump yourself up.
Depends on what you mean by most popular. In my opinion, being popular in one or two overpopulated countries in the world does not make it the second biggest sport in the World. I think one should account sports being the most widespread. The only reason field hockey and cricket come high up on the list, is because they were dumped in India as the reject sports that they are by the Brits, whilst they went home and watched football instead.
Shadow Man is probably American. Very unlikely he knows what the word "culture" means, but because it's different to his own and doesn't involve building a wall to hide from it, he is scared of it.
Wow, nice tradition! If u newzealanders enter to any match with this attitude to fight to win, then I see there is great chance to win. It is delightful to see how the maori tradition is in the national soul, and I'm pretty sure kiwis are very proud to belong to NZ. Best regards from Ecuador, South America!

Can we take a minute to appreciate how awesome it is to see the indigenous culture of such a small (in terms of size and population) nation being shared worldwide ❤ 🎉
That's a good thing. In historical time, Haka was also used to distract the opponent. I guess for the bigger and much scarier warriors to leap out and kill lol
What a great tradition what you have. It's admirable how you perform your hakas in any sport. I used to think that it was a think only from rugby. I admire you, players from New Zealand. Greetings from Mexico.
The one with the US bbal team....their reactions were priceless...looking on just confused as to what was happening thrn at the end Steph just burys a 3 like nothing happened....ice in his veins...not a Steph fan at all but that was just cold
Of all the traditional arts that humanity has ever created for thousands of years of anthropological evolution and development, the Haka is one of the most imposing, formidable, and effective creation to have ever been made. The ability to express one's strength and ferocity in such a terrifyingly beautiful way against one's adversaries is phenomenal. To think that this art is still preserved and lives on to the 21st century is amazing. I hope that it can be passed down for generations to come.
That Ice Hockey Haka in the rink at 5:52 with the echo gave me chills it must have been similar to what it would have sounded like when thousands took to the field.
We should have a Haka acceptance for the other teams to present! Each country doing their own war cry in honor and respect! And create a whole new tradtion for Rugbi and Sport! Not just for the sake of it but as a representation of what it is to be human!
+Richard Down it would be nice. The problem is that not all countries have a cultural background in the same way New Zealand has. And some have it in a much bigger proportion. I mean, New Zealand have basically two different ethnic groups: the Maori and the European descendants. The Haka is cultural ritual from the Maori. In their case is easy. But take a country like mine, Brazil, which has hundreds of different native ethnicities, each one with their own roots, culture and traditions, some with great rivalries with others, plus the immigrants from all over the world, literally. If we would do something like that, at some point we would dishonor one tribe to honor other. And not only here. There are countries in Africa with thousands of aboriginal tribes, plus the european descendants. Imagine the problem they would have trying to do something like this? It's complicated, although I think it would be cool...
+Shotgun Zombie I know. I even joke about it with my friends from other countries hahahaha But I must be thankful that in Portuguese, my native language, my name is completely normal :P
Unbelievable, truly addictive, not just pure love and respect immediately felt in not just my flesh but bloodstream for this truly beautiful cultural ritual.
This is taking pride in your nation and people to the extreme. No one else does this. I like this. Savage and dangerous war chanting makes things better. Intimidating your enemies.
This is pretty impressive, but ironically, there are a lot of accounts in history of battles between Romans and various barbarian tribes... in the earlier centuries when the Romans were more disciplined, they would spook their enemy by walking up on them without stopping and in complete silence. But then again, the psychology of combat it not exactly the same as sport.
Mhmm back in the olden days the Maori tribes could be invaded easily so they preformed a "war dance" (Haka, yes it literally means war dance) to scare the invaders off. Aaaah I love Maori culture
There is one huge problem with the Haka, they are all way too short, since it is the only part that really interests me about those matches. So can't you do like 45 minutes of Haka and then 10 minutes of whatever sport and then 45 minutes of Haka? At least it would be a worthy game to watch.
when I read the first part I was sitting here thinking "wtf does their height have to do with anything?".... and then i realized you meant the time was too short.

This always brings a tear to me. The passion that these people show during Hakas is amazing. Much love for your culture. 👌🏼
As soon as the field hockey one started against Fiji I was like surely there’s gonna be a reply... there was and it was excellent!
and cooming soon...the team of League of Legends plays haka (?)
Sebs 01 let's do it
Sebs 01 don't fucking disrespect the haka
Children that plays lol should be kept away from the haka.
What a great tradition what you have. It's admirable how you perform your hakas in any sport. I used to think that it was a think only from rugby. I admire you, players from New Zealand. Greetings from Mexico.
Aquiles Bael Moreno the plural of haka is haka. You aren't supposed to add an s to the end. Just thought you should know
hello i'm a kiwi i have witnessed a haka in person before and it was amazing
@@sye7 I've witnessed it in person. Those guys looked like complete fools.

Local earth quake
Of all the traditional arts that humanity has ever created for thousands of years of anthropological evolution and development, the Haka is one of the most imposing, formidable, and effective creation to have ever been made. The ability to express one's strength and ferocity in such a terrifyingly beautiful way against one's adversaries is phenomenal. To think that this art is still preserved and lives on to the 21st century is amazing. I hope that it can be passed down for generations to come.
Nice copy and paste
All schools have kapa haka. We have language nests too. Maori culture is our national treasure, we have to look after it.
@@davidgallagher28 I actually wrote this myself. Surprising, isn't it?
For Maori...Yes not not New Zealanders "culture"
The hong kong sevens in the pissing rain was awesome
lets be honest, no one does it like the all blacks
That Ice Hockey Haka in the rink at 5:52 with the echo gave me chills it must have been similar to what it would have sounded like when thousands took to the field.
The Hockey Haka is the most impressive. Keep their balance on ice like that is just amazing to me.
We should have a Haka acceptance for the other teams to present! Each country doing their own war cry in honor and respect! And create a whole new tradtion for Rugbi and Sport! Not just for the sake of it but as a representation of what it is to be human!
+Richard Down naaaah lol
+Richard Down lol what?????
+Richard Down it would be nice. The problem is that not all countries have a cultural background in the same way New Zealand has. And some have it in a much bigger proportion. I mean, New Zealand have basically two different ethnic groups: the Maori and the European descendants. The Haka is cultural ritual from the Maori. In their case is easy. But take a country like mine, Brazil, which has hundreds of different native ethnicities, each one with their own roots, culture and traditions, some with great rivalries with others, plus the immigrants from all over the world, literally. If we would do something like that, at some point we would dishonor one tribe to honor other. And not only here. There are countries in Africa with thousands of aboriginal tribes, plus the european descendants. Imagine the problem they would have trying to do something like this? It's complicated, although I think it would be cool...
+Fagner Sousa Very well said, and I have to say though, with no disrespect, you have a very unfortunate name good sir. =P
+Shotgun Zombie I know. I even joke about it with my friends from other countries hahahaha But I must be thankful that in Portuguese, my native language, my name is completely normal :P
1:31 I remember that they made a commercial with that haka, when Mexico played against New Zealand, towards the 2014 FIFA World Cup
最近ハカの動画ばっかり見てる
わかりみ
おいらも…
Un país que respeta las tradiciones ancestrales de sus pueblos originarios es digno de admiración
My fav part of the video was probably looking at the other teams confused faces.
Unbelievable, truly addictive, not just pure love and respect immediately felt in not just my flesh but bloodstream for this truly beautiful cultural ritual.
That three-pointer after the Haka though. Fire. 3:51
Ma'a Nonu doing the forbidden slit throat gesture.
he is pointing somebody
He just had an itch.
I saw it too. First I thought he was doing the "draw breath/ breath life" thingie, but that was clearly not what he meant.
they always do the throat slit for that 1 particular haka.. n they also only use that haka for big games
YOUR MOTHERS MAN nah it was banned in rugby ages ago
This is taking pride in your nation and people to the extreme. No one else does this. I like this. Savage and dangerous war chanting makes things better. Intimidating your enemies.
SappingSpy I think tonga and Samoa do it in rugby union
This is pretty impressive, but ironically, there are a lot of accounts in history of battles between Romans and various barbarian tribes... in the earlier centuries when the Romans were more disciplined, they would spook their enemy by walking up on them without stopping and in complete silence. But then again, the psychology of combat it not exactly the same as sport.
It's done across the South Pacific. The Fijians responded with their own war dance in this video.
The Icelanders do a similar thing. in the football matches. Very vikingish
Mhmm back in the olden days the Maori tribes could be invaded easily so they preformed a "war dance" (Haka, yes it literally means war dance) to scare the invaders off. Aaaah I love Maori culture
Chad kiwis uses intimidation.
It’s SUPER EFFECTIVE
Imagine McCullum, Williamson and Vettori doing this 😅😅
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love how their Samoan brothers from Fiji also had a wardance!
Polynesian culture
I thought they was really bout to have a full blown war
There is one huge problem with the Haka, they are all way too short, since it is the only part that really interests me about those matches. So can't you do like 45 minutes of Haka and then 10 minutes of whatever sport and then 45 minutes of Haka?
At least it would be a worthy game to watch.
that would be WAY too long
when I read the first part I was sitting here thinking "wtf does their height have to do with anything?".... and then i realized you meant the time was too short.
In that case Barry Howell would be right.
Cringe
There are many hakas that are like 2 hours long, but for sports games, having longer ones are just ‘unpractical’ and whatever yknow?
All the Haka versions I have seen are so full of emotions. All the teams watching are so calm and respectful. I cannot stop watching.
Send those to raid area 51. They can literally replace 800k people.
The way Newzeland has embraced the local culture is ao appreciative.
You mean, the indigenous
the cibi vs haka with the field hockey team was fucking awesome
I like USA basketball team reaction , they are like “okay let’s them with +50 at least”
