Here's a breakdown Māori Martial Artist Wharehuia Manley did on arguably the most famous weapon of the Māori people - The Taiaha! 🔥
Ready to be consumed by all during this lockdown period. 🔒👍🏼
There is so much to be learnt about the TAIAHA.
So this is merely an introduction to an ancient weapon and Martial art form that was almost lost.

If you want to learn more about the Taiaha I am now offering 💥1 on 1 Online Mau Rākau Coaching💥 Leave the comment #ATRTOA below or contact ATR Aotearoa via any of the links attached! 😁👍🏽 linktr.ee/ATRA...

We will endevour to post up more videos like this on the Taiaha, other weapons and Māori Martial Arts as a whole in the coming weeks.
Thank you brother for the insight. I'm from Singapore with a Chinese and Indian racial background. My ancestors were Māori and I believe they were from ngati huia or ngati whatua. Believe it or not, we have Māori traits right here in southeast Asia too. The last wahine maori is my grandmother who expired 4 years ago. She hasn't thought me a single te reo or tikanga maori, but I don't blame her because she don't even know it too. But she's was my living proof that we maori have come a bloody long way and that we are survivors. Digging through my past culture has brought me to tears though. Because I just realised that I have missed out so much! But it's comforting to know that maori is still alive and it's still at the top of the charts. And my learning doesn't stop here. So thank you for teaching me where to start.
Kia ora bro, you're very much welcome. I, like you and many other Māori fully believe our ancestors made it to south-east Asia, there are so many similarities between our cultures, the biggest probably being our languages. The Māori word for the ear is Taringa, the Malay word is Telinga and that's just one of many words that are almost exactly the same. Did your kuia grow up in Aotearoa? because if she did maybe she was hit for speaking our native tongue like many others from her era and that could be the reason she never passed that knowledge on to you. I guess at least we can rejoice in the fact that she made sure you knew who you were ay brother. Yes, you have missed out on a lot but there is no time like the present bro, and don't be too hard on your self, there are many Māori here in Aotearoa who have yet to learn who they are as well. The learning never stops bro and there's a heap of resources online nowadays. I could point you in the right direction if you want? Anyways bro humbled that you found the video beneficial, looking forward to hearing back from you e hoa / oh friend.
@@ATRAotearoa tena koe... Most of them were from aotearoa, around the west coast. Early settlers in the straits of Malacca in 1800s. Most of them ended in temasek, the name before it was called Singapore and they were undocumented workers for sir Stamford raffles who founded modern singapore and was vaguely classified as people of temasek as well. I think, things got rough when the Japanese invaded our people in the 40s. Like from then on, the ta moko was probably one of the things that saved some of our people from the Japanese because the invaders couldn't clearly identify our differences, and like the Indians who tattooed a dot on their forehead all because, they didn't want to be confused with ethnic Chinese, whom basically what the Japanese were after. So to get on with life, Māori iwi were told to forget who they were if they wanted to survive and there went our culture and language all forgotten. But like they say, you are the product of where you grew up, Māori have been integrated into the society and therefore have not hold on to their roots since so that kinda adds on to the complications.
@@ATRAotearoa I think there isn't any point of going back in time, but I wanna move on and learn about tikanga from now on.
Bruh there needs to be a documentary abt this, Maori in Aotearoa need to know what there own people been up to, that's so cool,
Beautiful brilliant presentation love Maori history and the versatility of Taiha.
Awesome video man. Maori culture is really fascinating and powerful. Always good to learn a little bit more about it especially with the use of the language. You should keep making these videos. Big ups from Oz.
Glad you enjoyed e hoa 🙌🏽
ive been having dreams of these things as an ammerican i had never heard of these or knew of them and to dream about them and to start making them im on my 5th i have made 3 taiaha and oim on my 2 pouwhenua as i think maybe my ancesesters are in my dreams but thank you for the info its strange this is all happening its like i got down loaded planes to these wood and big stick energy peace love and light brother
The Mark of Kri on PS2 brought me here. The taiaha is my avorite weapon in the game; I'd never heard of it before playing it. Super unique.
Kia Ora!
Thank you for the insightful video - I am wanting to reconnect with my Maori history and this was brilliant!
Kia kaha rā koe, be resilient on your journey! Glad you enjoyed e hoa.
Beautiful. I've long admired the Taiaha and have attempted to make one for myself a few times. However, I must report that they were nowhere near the beauty and strength standard of the real thing. But, I will keep practicing making them . Practice does make perfect after all.
RUclips is awesome because I can be like, "Is there a video with a Maori talking about how a Taiaha is used?"
Yes, yes there is.
Very nice my bro the video and the way you explain things be looking for your videos big fan of yours easy to listen very clear excellent details makes you hungry to learn more one of the better if not the best on the taiaha I have seen and heard more videos please
Glad you enjoy bro, they're definitely comming!
Awesome video. Being a student of the Quarterstaff, I also really love the Taiaha and the excellent skills shown with it.
The quarterstaff, what a weapon! Appreciate the support e hoa.
Omg, thank you! I'm Native Hawaiian and Māori, but I live in mainland America. There are barely any Polys here, let alone Maori (they don't need to immigrate anywhere, they are already indigenous to a major english-speaking country) So videos like these are incredibly helpful.
If I may ask, what are some good exercises or conditioning techniques that I can use to have better mastery and control? You seem to be doing a lot of fast movements and I don't know where to begin.
Māori usually practice starting with ahai, ahai means taiaha movements, the leader would call out a move and everyone has to do it right after all at the same time, Māori also use their wrist to swing the taiaha, to strengthen the wrist it’s good to swing around poi
The taiaha is my favorite Polynesian weapon because it’s just so fast 💨 and how dedicated it can be to resemble culture of ancestry
Absolutely brilliant!
Always been a fan of the Taiaha, wish I took the time to visit the Mau Rākau when I was living on Oahu!
Fuuu mean cuhz im a bertanees from there my nanny was peg bertanees nei hakaraia 💪🏽💙
brilliant video
🙏🙏🙏
I still have yet to see a taihaha made in the old way
Learning to use one of these would be fun.
Wow thanks that is awesome! I would love to learn!!
I'm actually doing online Mau Rākau teaching via Zoom now so if you're interested I'll send you more details
🤜🏽💥🤛🏽
@@ATRAotearoa Ahau, ka taea e au te uru atu, kei te kura ahau me whakamahi i a Taiaha ki te kapa haka, he waahanga takitahi ano kei roto, me te hiahia kia kowhiria ahau. Cool, can I join, i'm in school and we have to use Taiaha in kapa haka, there's some solo parts in it and i'm hoping to get chosen.
Thank you for the upload
mahi taiaha ataahua e taina
Mahi pai Teina ... Ka whakamamae koe i ahau ki te whare.. Aroha nui.
Hearing tainui AY thats our waka name
Wouldn't it be more useful if the taiaha were pointed at both ends?
The main shaft is shaped to a flat blade towards the blunt end. Imagine this smashing in your neck bones at over 200 km/hr.
Kia ora e hoa what kind of wood is it made out of?
Kauri, Manuka, kanuka
Are non Maori allowed to study too?
Yes you are, you just cant do the haka outside of NZ.
@@thiagoallsopp6642 yes you can...
@@hirokawiti4932 if you’re non māori, and do the haka outside with not knowing no meaning behind it at all your only making yourself look stupid.
@@acireghee3868 if you learn from the right people, then you are indeed allowed to learn regardless of your location.
Yes you can, so long as you respect the weapon and what it stands for like with all fighting styles, though you’d be hard pressed to find someone who actually knows how to use one. As a lot of the techniques have been lost to time.
This. This is a warrior.
😂😂 the gelded one

That's mean bro.
