To everyone, who don't know what is being displayed, this style suited our NATIVE terrain. we fought on hills, bush and unlandscaped areas, this also is one man demonstrating a well studied form of martial arts- that rivalled martial arts masters all around the world, both with long/short range weapon and hand to hand combat, the facial tattoo illustrates the Warriors past,tribe,origins so an anyone could identify anyone without speaking, the rapid breathing was for oxygen and testosterone circulation required for endurance and power prior to and during battle and this combined with the physical movements are menacing when such a skilled opponent advances towards you. SO to everyone else perhaps you should travel to New Zealand seek out a deeply cultural warrior, see how SILLY you feel after receiving some close hard hits with a heavy hardened wood taiaha, the English soldiers relied on numbers of well dressed gentlemen marching into canonfire and they call my people crazy naked canibals, we were not dumb enough to construct canons, guns and RPGs HITLER said if he had an army of MAORI he would have conquered the entire world
Hey Richard. I wouldn't be bothered by a few anonymous 14 year olds on the internet. Anyone who has even a semi-serious interest in martial arts or military history, knows the truth. The British were also deeply impressed by the warrior culture they encountered...and they would know, given their experiences from the Zulus to the Sikhs and Gurhkhas. Indeed, it was popular from the mid-late 1800s to the 1940s for Europeans to adopt Maori as having Aryan origins (a quasi-well intentioned yet immature and racist notion). This theory obviously died out when Nazism made such intellectual wanderings (including eugenics) deeply repugnant. However, it still shows that Maori martial prowess has never been seriously denied.
I don't feel silly. It is true and I aspire to learn. These people have great spirit before anything else and they are serious about it. I would like tto learn this and I feel the urge.
FUCKING WELL PUT BRO
It wasn’t hitter who said it but a German soldier

I'm a white guy from the US. A long chain of discussion from Mandalorian brought me here. Such beauty, such grace, such...honor in combat. I'm...jealous at such a legacy of fierceness and poeticism in precision.
Yea, Mandalorian chapter 14 brought me here too
This is not martial arts its combat training martial arts has strict guidelines MAU Rakau is free following and adaptability to all situations greatly dependant on flexibility and speed feared for its unpredictable movement and gorilla style tactics early European had vastly superior fire power (guns and cannons) yet lost mayority of the conflicts resorting to underhanded diplomacy and religion to bring end to conflict as Maori yes are warrior race brutal and proud but also deeply spiritual and loving race
Watch him fight Israel Adesanya... Impressive battle
The movements are mainly from our native birds the fan tail being one ..and watch the footsteps always we have white Maori here! heaps brother !! it's not how you look here it's how you love and beloved is the key hope you come down all are welcome brother
@@lordo2223 martial arts is the art of war. Japan calls it Bujutsu, and such skills as swimming in armor, or suijutsu, is included in it. In other words, true martial arts is about combat training AND other more mundane skills as navigation.
spiritually moving,gives me goosebumps. Tradition and heritage should be passed onto future generations
+rupert lillienfeldt Indeed it should brother

Maoris fighting each other because of gangs while Maori ancestors fought together,before this treated each other with respect(after the treaty of waitangi).
Edit=Maoris fighting each other because of gangs while before Maori ancestors fought together,treated each other with respect(after the treaty of waitangi).
To those of you unfamiliar with this type of martial art form, although it might appear as though the warrior is dancing. Trust me when I tell you, it's how he's using his feet, there in lies the real danger. The placing of his feet, and how he goes about it, gives the warrior real power coupled with mobility. The Taiaha (pronounced Tie-aha) is a formidable wooden weapon for hand to hand killing while keeping your opponent at distance. As for the second part, the possession of the one handed weapon means this warrior is either extremely skilled and a veteran of various encounters where opponents were defeated or vanquished. The Patu (pronounced putt-two) is a one handed weapon with a specific purpose of countering two handed weapons like the Taiaha. It's job is to crush/server sinew and to shatter bone inside of Taiaha fighting zones. I would not even presume to think of taking on either weapon in combat, especially if wielded by the Te Toa Nui Tona (the great warrior) giving those demonstrations. In essence, all this might look fanciful. But you have to remember it's how we Maori fought and killed, yes that's right---KILLED one another for almost seven hundred years with great efficiency
anyone who knows anything about martial arts sees a dangerous warrior.
Yeah, look at how they place their feet, especially the last guy. You'd be dead before you even realised what happened.
@@mike74em k
I'm so happy that young people like you are keeping these traditions alive. I use to think that young islanders like us who actually like their culture and care were a dying breed, but I think actually people like us are becoming more common =D These skills and traditions need to live. Your ansestors fought hard against the British with these skills, the least we could do nowdays is never forget. Great video!
As an englishmen living in newzealand with huge respect for your culture watching this has moved me, eyes filled up.
Chur badaz
wow .. such skill .. such precision .. so bold and brave .. I can only stand in awe of the traditions of our people - the Maori of New Zealand!
It's crazy. I'm a 14 year martial artist and weapons expert. I see a somewhat goofy "dance", but I also see a very dangerous setup in his movements. People can't see the small circles he's making with his wrists and feet. He keeps planted, but has light feet, too. Seems like a counter attacking dance, which would be right up my alley!
This is about culture. Not just martial arts. Fool.
Goofy? What part is goofy
“Goofy” fuckk offf
Lol, you commenters are funny. My entire paragraph was one big compliment to his skill, yet all you saw was the one word to pick apart. Crybaby lefties.
@Wug you hedge wrong, sir.
The music, Haka and the tatts everything was flawless!
2.32 those foot movements, when he sort of screws the ground were used by the victors of war to step strategically through the masses of dead bodies, but in saying that different "Iwi" tribes would have "korero" stories that differ.
They didn't rush mate. Maori invented trench warfare, which the British later implemented in the Boer war and, later, the Great War. This allowed them to creep closer, avoid artillery and storm established battlegrounds. They were also skilled ambush fighters, using the dense bush for cover and traveling light so they would not be detected. A rifle with a bayonet was no match for a patu at close range.
Keeping tradition alive is so important, especially in this time of rampant commercialisation. Keep it up and keep sharing. If you even remind one wayward kid of where he came from, you've done your forebears proud.
Damn, I hope that one day my Mau Rakau will be as awesome as his. Its so mesmerizing.
+Laura Te Aho-White Yeah aye, it's beautiful, my youngest son does Mau Rakau - his whole school does it at the local Marae once a week after school.
makes me proud to be MAORI an to see how far we have come still standing stronge
Go watch the movie dead lands plenty of Maori fight scenes with said weapons....great movie
MEAN MY CUZE some maori history 4 people that aint maori 80 maori vs 250 english we had taiaha and patu they guns and bayonette we still won. Must b saying somthing. Not bad 4 people with sticks PROUD 2 B MAORI MANA MAORI
Eugene Murray yea guns weren't so good back then ae. 1 shot then 30secs-1min to reload 1 bullet. By then the warriors had already split 3 english heads lol. All they knew were guns and swords. We had our own martial arts lol. Guns were just a advantage for us. To use back on them and to kill off enemy tribes.
15 sec. a trained solider could reload and fire in 15 sec. and they fired in line. so ya. defeating them with sticks and hand clubs is still quite impressive. the musket enslaved the Incas and the Japanese.
hulmad hmmm so why couldnt the British kill us off. And even if they could. It still dependended on how far they were. Trench warfare was invented by us. So theres your reason why even your most trained soldier couldn't killus. We were having war with ourselves 100 years before the british came. So yea we fight with your so sticks but we still out smarted your kind buddy
Go on eah the south is ngati toa. Which starts from the south peak of ruapehu to the end of Stuart island.what you mean they never came to the north to help.
What you on about Rewi, most of the South Island is Ngai Tahu except the northern tip. Ngai Tahu comes from Tahu Potiki, younger brother of Porourangi from the North Island's East Coast.
Have always been a fan of this fulla! Heoi I am also really blown away by this sound composition...very moving. The Kuia mixed into the acoustic track is very clever. Ka mau te wehi e Maori ma!
I love and am crazy interested in the Maori arts! I’m a gong fu eagle fist practitioner I see some similarities
Hard aye bro, and then I see the kiwi league team and see were about 70% of the team, and jamie Te Huna ripping up in the UFC, proud as of ma MAORIS!! As our yound population gets older we will see more and more talent come through, Maori forever strong!!
"Buns of steel Maori Warrior" challenge a short clip but you wouldn't want to piss this Warrior off.
Prefer not to do anything negative, but rather show u the beauty of our culture and that we aren't actually as bad as ur making us out to be. My name in Jayson Awa, and I wud luv to show u true hospitality, and show u that we can embrace u and try alter ur way of thinking, cos its very negative, and doesn't bring anyone any good, not even u-infancy all it will bring u is negativity. U don't need that my friend. Big mihi to Edmond Eriha, Tino Ataahua ur mahi cuz. A great Thaiboxer now a great Toa
This is the best ,, good on you NZ keep it alive,
Bro one of the best vids on youtube right here
The Taiaha is a special weapon that can't really be bought. Its given to a student, by a teacher. For that you'll need to join a Mau Rakau club, check out the E Whare Tu Taua O Aotearoa organization. They currently teach the art all over New Zealand, Australia (Brisbane), Hawaii and England (London)
A real maori warrior can scare his opponent by not even touching him.
Haha typical keyboard warrior. It's pathetic to say those things from behind a screen, go say that to a Māori warrior in person and see what happens.
Sam Murphy Well imagine this fuck fighting a Knight or something xD
A real Englishman could kill off an entire tribe just by giving blankets bwahahhaha!
The DiamondGuys and if a knight was stupid enough to come here to NZ to fight me in my country in the terrain that I know like the back of my hand .. They'd be buried on the beach they landed on
The DiamondGuys face it .. If a knight looses his footing he's as good as dead .. Maori warriors were too fast and smart for your fat stupid knights .. Hell the English couldn't beat us and they had guns so a fat stupid knight would have NO CHANCE!
ae tika ana nga kupu kua tuhia, he taonga ke te taiaha, he taonga ke te patu, he taonga hoki te mahi a o tipuna. Tino rawe tenei whakaatu mo nga mahi o Tumatauenga. Rawe enei mahi e Edz.
He was totally wonderful,, amazing and you make your country proud.
good on you,, keep it going for the next generation and take it back into the schools
it is the only weapon they can not remove from you,
Wanting to learn the art of the taiaha just because it looks cool. No, wanting to learn this fighting technique takes pride, and the will to carry such knowledge of this weapon. A technique not to played around with.
+Api Healey If you want to learn how to swing a taiaha, you should first learn to carve one.
+utuberine which means you have to go back to the basis of you whakapapa.
+kallen smith talkin to me or the other fellah?
+kallen smith I guess both of us eh? Whoops. Utuberine and Kerry are the same guy. Me.
This is really just showing his proficiency with these weopens. There is a tradition called wero where the tribes most able warrior was sent forth before a visiting party or tribe. There he would display his prowess with which ever weopen hed chosen.
Maori were the only nation to have won against the British.
HAHAHAHAHA
Imagine if you go 1v1 with warrior you'll be dead before you know it.
@submit1980 - Steel forging didn't make it's way to New Zealand until after Europeans settled the country. By that time, swordcraft was irrelevant due to the effectiveness of the taiaha against non-armored opponents and the Europeans focus on firearm development. That said, a taiaha technically outclasses a sword in close range combat against non-armored opponents.. It's longer, lighter and just as deadly against skin and flesh.
In response to the statement about decorative swords. one of the best swordsman in the whole Europe was assigned the task of defeating/killing the the savages expert tiaha teacher and who happened to be a very old man. The sword was rendered literally useless with only the most basic defence then the man was rendered paralyzed by a series of pressure point strikes at which the tohunga toa had guns put in his face.he never had any intention of killing the so called expect despite all the former
Impressive! thank you for sharing
These "idiots" are practically the only tribal people on earth to face the Emperial British army and actually force them into a treaty. From the computer chair in our time period and culture it looks funny. But the British soldiers who had been conquoring tribal people all over the earth were so afraid of these people that even with superior weapons, tactics, a practically endless supply of resources and soldiers that the British gave up and made a treaty with them. They're an amazing people!
It also took over 150 years of them being scared for the white people to come back
Beautiful!!
I like this representing our people awesome
this is a demonstration from one perspective
chur bro that was mean. Well done
@rooks275scuba - Rifles with bayonets, actually. Swords were only held by certain ranked officers, and really they were just for decoration. The widespread use of gunpowder in Europe led to the decline of sword usage and other close range weaponry. It's not so much the weapons that were used that led to our victories in combat, rather the skill of the fighters and the tactics used.
Very accurate, and the British force's tactics often found themselves lacking against the tactics and strategies of the Maori.
Yup, you just won the shit out of that debate
Efforts. Dig deep enough and you'll find all the info. Also the conveniently forgotten trip to Japan to test against the Japanese who or what weapon do you think won. Taiaha again. The Japanese in question have the taiaha and a certain tribe have their sword. Which was a fair trade but soon arrival back in nz it was stated that the whole mana of the tribe was given away and has not since been reclaimed
we've still got the land. most of n.z is still titled under maori land where you can occupy it but you cannot sell it. the government is run under multiple parties which includes maori party and mana party as well as maori members in the other parties. the crown laws also has been put in place to coincide with maori custom. your looking at the cover of the book and not actually reading it.
Keep the fire burning!
Nitride bro from Puerto Rico
I was not calling the Maori idiots, I was commenting to someone else who called them idiots, that's why I put quotes around it.
pou whenua is also awesome watch,Yr garden hau called a ko was also a mean mau rakau,the king potatau used it in taranaki after falling 20 odd toa he made his maunga of mate-toa an called it taranaki.
Brutal!! :)
We're was this guy in 1700s

Amazing :D
Yea mate not to mention the seed which wiped out a few countrys,iwish we could just get along im maori and pakeha
PLEASE Could i know where i could purchase a Taiaha for practice?
Thank you in advance.
You have to ask some Maori people to make you one there is my advice as a Maori
Advice learn the culture and the language first and learn all about the Maori weaponry from a Maori instructor in the meaning of each movement. Dont watch RUclips videos for practice its disrespectful.
you don’t just purchase a taiaha, they are to be made by an experienced māori person. And you ask aswell, I don’t think it’d be a good idea for a pakeha man to be playing around with our weapons
You don’t buy taiaha, Māori made there own taiaha and done incarnations on it to make it stronger, to truly make a taiaha yours, you would have to slaughter the first person you come across while wielding the weapon, for proof of your kill, you would also have to bring the head home to show your people, then stab it onto of a spear for the children to play games with
One more thing-I still have my land passed down to me by my ancestors buddy, and it's worth millions ;) (Big smile).
Does anyone know this fallas full name?
edward eramiha
This is mean rite
edz eramiha, not Edward! !!

Check Erueras footwork , Golden
Anybody know the song from this video? I already checked the whole album, and I didn't find it!
+abel ramirez Its off Tiki Tanes album Past Present Future. Hope this is helpful even a year later hahaha
Dont get me wrong tho bratha.Yes the british did also kill alot of maori to.But look at what weapons they had to what the bro on the clip is using those very weapons hes using did alot of damage to there enemys.Just stick carved from trees and carved stone into weapons.Maori were a different breed thats why the british called them savages..Didnt have that stuff what england had.They straight up just lived of the land and hunt for kai thats why they were Big.fit healthy and strong back then ..
Chur Da Man!...Mite have to go do Mau rakau lessons i think..Keep the tradition alive .
Amazing
Many small nations stood against the British Empire and other huge empires in history from a military aspect. Example against the britts the Gurkhas, the Irish, the Scottish, some hindu tribes etc. But what weapon couldn't win was won by economy. The world war of today is still fought by money, though a digitalized one, and it is causing as much suffering as old school wars.
Showing the tongue might be quite scary but it's not a very a good idea, even while not in battle
It means "When i kill you, i'm gonna eat you"
we also believed that when we consumed another person we gained there strength and wisdom. Which is why we ate other people.......
+Joker I have at least one amerindian ancestor, they had some similar beliefs about canibalism. Thanks:)
Haroldo Canuto No problem
All good bro.
Its so awesome, but its funny, too. I'd get bonked for looking away or laughing. His face is so intense!
You wouldn't be laughing when that taiaha went through you throat... Have respect...
Nah bro it’s algood!! Laugh, I’d love to see what happens
@@PsychicIsaacs lol, Relax, whitey. It's not your culture to defend. Haven't you feminist commies done enough for every other brown community? Oh wait....you did nothing to help them, while virtue signaling online. Well done.
@@acireghee3868 well look at him! Honestly, if you didn't know the culture, wouldn't you find it hilarious when some random dude comes out of the bushes to make extreme faces at you while he dances?? That's funny, I don't care who you are.
@@saltysergeant4284 (a) I'm not a feminist,
(b) I'm not a Commie.
(c) I grew up among the Maori at Rotorua, in New Zealand, and became good friends with them. I even lived with the sister of the high chief of Te Arawa, Mihiterina Hohepa, for a while, and she was my dear friend. Her brother, the chief, Hiko-i-te-Rangi Hohepa, was also my friend, and he was a key figure in the re-establishment of Traditional Maori Education. When he received his honorary doctorate from Waikato University for this monumental work in rejuvenating Maori Education, I was there, at the ceremony, sitting next to Mihi. ruclips.net/video/nd6oKOcMoVA/видео.html
On that day, those cameras were directly behind us, and so what you are seeing in this video was what I saw with my own two eyes!
The Maori don't need anyone to defend them, feel sorry for them, help them or stand up for them. They are a strong people, and can look after themselves!
When I met Mihi, I had no idea who she was, I liked her because she was a good, kind, wise and beautiful lady, and so full of Aroha (love), and that's why we became friends. Have you ever had a genuine friend, like a brother or sister? Or do you spend your life making bitter assumptions about people you don't even know, online?
BTW, after I stayed with Mihi for a while, Te Wairua Tapu (the Holy Spirit) impressed on me that I should move to Australia, to meet my husband. I did move to Australia, and two weeks later, met my husband, who was a Scottish Highlander. These are a Brother Nation to the Maori, and I immediately connected with them! I learned to speak Scottish Gaelic, weave tartan and cook Scottish food, including Haggis. Scotch Broth Scottish Sausages, Scottish Scones and Tablet (a type of Scottish Fudge).
I have had a rich life, embedded in my own tribal culture, that of the Highland Scots, and now, over 20 years later, have two strong (adult) sons who are aware of their deep cultural roots and so will be enabled to go with strength, into the future!
Where will you be in 20 years?
Will you have children who know who they are and are doing things that you can be proud of? Or will you be lonely and depressed, believing that you have wasted your whole life, living in some basement or rented room, living on junk food and spreading negativity, online?
This seems incredibly silly, but credit where credit is due, that thing at 0:50 ...
I would never have seen that coming.
+Seth Mitchell This is the way I see it... Would you want to fight a half naked guy with a spear and giving you those deranged looks? I think this war dance is supposed to send the message: _"Don't fuck with crazy, because it beats strength any day."_
Yup, Thats exactly what this was for. You have a whole bunch of guys come out and do this in front of the enemy to try and freak them out so they leave.
If that doesnt work then the actual fighting starts.
In Kendo you can scare unskilled people just by screaming at them loud enough and moving towards them, And thats half the fight won. So its a very valid tactic.
@@xm377Moyocoyatzin Doubly frightening when you consider the meaning of the tongue sticking out, which is essentially “I’m going to eat you for your mana!”
@@Cha4k Māori is the same, they would do pukana (the poking of the tongue) which meant to the opponent “I will kill you and eat you” they would also do “HAKA” screaming about how they would slit the enemy’s throat, rip the enemy’s head off and feed their skin to their slaves
Real martial artists.
It’s not fucken art
I'm a Maori I really wanna learn this it looks mean as
learn western matial arts :) cuz they are conquered in the end by western :) they are much more stronger
That was pretty mean is that 90 mile beach/te oneroa a tohe???
Looked like North Piha to me mate.
When hone heke axed down the english flag pole for the 4th time he cried "if pakeha cant even look after there own post how can they protect our land.....to this day they cant protect our motherland we are watching her been sold to the chinese and americans like some whore i cry i cry for my forefathers who bled fought and died for the very earth that the english swore to protect
i need to learn this bruh lol
Nah bro your wrong its a fact that it did work,Thats why we got the treaty.
I came here because Boba Fett has a similar melee fighting style.
I'm sure this maori fulla would have beaten the shaolin monk on deadliest warrior.
maoris upgraded deez dayz bro hahaha
It's quite clear that there is an understanding of the use of weaponry also the form of various stances with the appropriate expressions displayed especially in terms of the Pukana in both forms whether it be the tongue or the eyes. This video inspires some kaumatua when seen today even though it may have been made 2011.
@antonposa - I know that. My comment was in response to some other idiot who said that the moves the guy in the video was performing would not work if he was getting rushed. To which I asked, what idiot rushes a Maori swinging a taiaha around.
That moment the rakau is in the air brother .. overs 🙂
its not true that the pakeha won becoz of war they won by tricking us into to signin the treaty by useing ur language that we didnt understand and also we actually knew how to use weapons unlike pakeha, they used swords nd guns we use our nature, nd we learnt polynesian fighting passed throigh all of polynesia, i didnt see james cook winning any war in Hawaii!!
I understood what you meant.
Patrick Sean Who is selling the land mate. Whats going on over there. I been in the US for a decade. I would like to hear current affffairs from home from time to time.
Taumata whaka tangi hanga ko au au a tama tea pokai whenua kitanga ta HAU.

His footwork during the second part seems not very stable or centered. I can't see that working very well. Yes, mad skills on the first demonstration.
Ok dude
Jesus fucking christ
Bro this isn’t you’re fucking opinion on this, it’s our culture for us to decide he done good
DAAAAAMMMME
This is the 2 much cuz O 4 awesome
mean bratha
maori have a wrestling style to0
mean cuzzi
They should have put this guy up against the shaolin monk I'm sure he would win.
sure i herd the word bru in there
nah, nah you didn’t
Anyone know what this music is?
Aikido Tentokai its a waiata Maori
Thanks for the reply! Actually, the OP has put the exact link in the description -- it's Past, Present, Future by Tiki Taane. Cheers...
when your angry because winz doesnt pay you...
Whoa...
The British could not take down the Maori ,
the maori wanted a treaty as they were curious to see what the white man had, ,, they were undefeatable and that is why they have a treaty,
and did not get taken over,, this was combine with many other skills right down to the way they placed their pars ( villages ) and trenches,
the Maoris played with the white man,, they are a very gentle and loving people, even today.. but I would never dare to call one a idiot, they can travel anywhere u fool,
Do we (Māori) have any Hand to Hand combat styles. If so could someone tell me please
+Jurick Pewhirangi I don't think getting in close for hand to hand combat would be a good idea.
+DC Okay. So if a maori lost his Taiaha in battle he's pretty much done ?
I jus want to know if the Maori had any Striking or Grappling style
All Polynesians have some style of lua
+Jurick Pewhirangi We do have hand combat styles
+Jurick Pewhirangi I believe there is a Maori form of grappling style warfare being taught somewhere in the Waikato. Seen it on One news a few years back.
maoris invented the cripwalk
