i feel the one of the most admirable things about the haka and all the videos i've watched is the psychology of confidence and expression. i mean im sad that in the us kids and adults feel awkward and self conscious doing a haka or would if they did. even in some of the reaction videos they kind a laugh cause they dont understand and cant imagine themselves doing it and think they would feel silly instead of feeling like they would be sending a message and expressing themselves. i really think that mindset is powerful and very healthy. we live life and life is passion and expression. if you cant live with passion and express it then you're missing something. makes me want to raise my kids in New Zealand just for that.
And, as someone who has learnt the haka, I can tell you that not only is it great at giving you confidence etc, and a wonderful choreography, full of meaning and passion, but it is also a fantastic warm up!
I always get very emotional whenever the Haka is performed. It is such a raw emotional performance instilled in such culture and tradition and respect. It is so beautiful 🤍
Living on the opposite of the world, pretty much as far away from NZ as possible, I've only had the honour to experience a Haka in real life once - performed by a group of Māori people visiting a group of Sámi people. It was very touching, and simply beautiful - and it is amazing to see an entire school coming together like this. The Sámi response was a Joik, very different in expression but similar in meaning and significance. Stay strong!
Apart from the intensity of the Haka and the subsequent response, this video scares me. As a Brit and former player, this snippet of a schoolboy match shows just how far ahead these two teams are ahead when compared the British "schoolboy" game. I believe that all four of the UK international teams will struggle to challenge the NZ game for the foreseeable future. Not only that, we'll struggle beat the southern hemisphere teams in international competition for the next 10 years or so unless we go back to basics. It'll come back to a point where we'll we'll only score points from kicking penalties. Good to see the game been played with the passion and physicality that it was meant to be at.
@@Sentientwolf34 I don't know man, this was a common mistake when I was doing this back at school. Not all the kids are so coordinated and when you bring the whole school instead of only the ones who know it best, you dilute the overall haka. It's a well-known effect
nothing wrong with losing, as long as you gave it your all. that's what haka is about. It's stating an intent to rise to the challange and leave absolutely nothing behind.
All this BS is what is killing off schoolboy rugby in nz. The elite schools poach all the best players and the rest simply can't compete so they are increasingly not bothering to field rugby teams. The elites don't seem to care if they become the best by killing off all their competition. There is no club alternatives either so kids going into high school either play for their school or give up (because there are no teams). The school I went to in the 90's usually fielded 6 or 7 rugby teams. we were rarely in the top division but we were competitive om our grade and several player went on to play professionally and internationally. the same school now only has 1 team
Maybe cus this competition can’t handle 6 or 7 teams of each school in the tournament and plus the schools all don’t have enough money to handle six or seven teams playing at once
Really? You obviously havent done a haka. Its a beautiful feeling. Its raw, primal, and its possibly the most amazing feeling I will ever feel in my life.dont diss the haka you pakeha
@@rainkaido8607 I actually know a whole lot! My sister is married to a Kiwi and stays in Papatoetoe in Auckland. I can actually do the Haka. Know all the words and actions. Just think it's getting worn out by people doing it at any conceivable function or event.

Beautiful said!
New Zealand is a great place! Lived in Auckland all my life and it is very diverse.
Haka is getting a bit old and passed it expired date .Trying to feel like men begin a man is not a feeling.

Are you not tired to play after this?

I was in this haka. OMG it felt like a heart attack being in the thick of it

Honestly the most amazing things I’ve ever seen🥶
By far one of the most badass traditions in the whole world.
i love how they express their culture with pride
I said it once ill say it again one of the best culture ever
sad
@@mac9954 hehe
I definitely wouldn't like to fall off the edge of that massive grass stand !
That’s what makes NZ kids tough
Shout to the away team in blue who held their own in foreign territory, no intimidation

When was the Haka first performed at a rugby match I would like to know
this scared me g 🥶🥶🥶💯❤
My cuzzy was playing for stream ( blue and white team)
I'm wondering, are they all from the same school? Even those in the stands were performing haka with the blue and white

Yeah the home school was out of sync with each other. Sounded sloppier.

What's the name of this haka
Respect 💯but slow it down it’s like Twista rapping 🤣 Maori Hard ❤️💯
One of my teachers went to this school and he showed us how to do this
What game was this?
rugby
What a fun tradition
40 years ago that was me at NPBH
Why it that man with the tattoo posing as a school boy?
Hes either the haka coach or a tattooed student - both being fairly common at nz schools...
Or an ex student or family of student, if he was in crowd.

That's so camp x
Why are all the other kids getting involved? They haven't been picked to play, it's just hundreds of kids yelling at their guests
school spirit
It’s more than the game it’s the culture of New Zealand and the school is supporting their team
The amount of ignorance in this comment.
Overkill. I'm sure Kiwis do the haka at the dinner table too. Just too much of it makes it less and less appealing to the point that it is irritating.
Really? You obviously havent done a haka. Its a beautiful feeling. Its raw, primal, and its possibly the most amazing feeling I will ever feel in my life.dont diss the haka you pakeha
@@quartz5938 then you probably don't have many highlights in your life.
You don’t know the history of the haka . Keep your mouth out of it . So disrespectful
@@rainkaido8607 I actually know a whole lot! My sister is married to a Kiwi and stays in Papatoetoe in Auckland. I can actually do the Haka. Know all the words and actions. Just think it's getting worn out by people doing it at any conceivable function or event.

Haka seems nice, but it's a wild dance of insult, threat and provocatuon.
Not the sport's spirit.
Shouldn't even be allowed on a rugby field.
thats the point
pointless video, get it on the mens game.
Pointless comment
Real men do Haka
Why’d you decide to watch the 9 minute video displaying a pre-game ritual?
Think of it as an anthem for the school
