Absolutely love this! I have always thoroughly enjoyed watching the Haka. It has always really moved me. I honestly cannot believe the disrespect and ignorance in this comment section. Its disgusting. Lots of love New Zealand from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤
I'm so saddened by the racist comments in this thread. I love the culture of tangata whenua Maori, I love te reo, I love haka in all its forms. I think Haka an intoxicating, moving and powerful artform and cultural expression which needs to be supported.
Im from Germany. I did a Haka once with our Aroha sport group. It was amazing. Goosebumps. It seems as if the whole sport hall was vibrating and full of energy in the silents after the haka. no one moves. everybody was so touched. What a great experience.! MANAAKI
It's hilarious to think people who don't understand other languages just go straight to ignorant, prejudice comments like this. You are showing your ignorance in full view. No integrity for yourself or others
I always watch New Zealand doing Haka I would love them to teach me how to do it. It would be fun. I am aboriginal Australia and every time I see New Zealand do the Haka I like to give it ago
Huh. I'm American and not very familiar with what aboriginal Australian have in terms of cultural rituals like that. I was just thinking, seeing everyone around the globe at the games that what we need is some more representation from the Aussie aboriginals! 👍
@d.a2500........are you blind? Air New Zealand has a native fern leaf on their planes. Sorry to burst your bubble but maori didn't invent the fern, nor does the fern represent maori.
Thank you for the Haka at the Olympics. I saw this a nd was happy to see other cultures express them selves.Bring your voices and traditions to LA 28. I will watch for you.. Welcome from NewEngland
Let me completely disregard the comments that are full of prejudices below. This is magnificent, especially that I see Maori and Non-Maori chanting with one voice to greet their fellow athletes. I only know of New Zealand that has built up such a team culture, a sport culture.
It's just New Zealand. Aotearoa is some small place in the North Island and was invented by a white fellow. The South Island has never been known as aotearoa.
Your right, even without deliberately trying to put down certain sports teams when the haka is done, in Basketball for example, I think it looks strange to be brutally honest just to name one sport
Forced? when are you ever in a situation when you are forced to do a haka? They do it because they have pride in their country and people. Don't make up hypothetical situations to push your ignorance.
Your cringe to be fair. It's traditional culture in NZ nothing cringe about it, you probably see a lot of things as cringe because your a cringie person
Well your name is Florida man so I expect you are a simple minded individual. Simple people don't understand or appreciate anything that isn't Beavis or Butthead.
I live in NZ. The Haka has lost its merit as it's overdone. Unless you live here, you have little understanding of what I'm telling you. They've cooked their own goose.
@@Cruising_the_Dash someone has never watched Te Matatini and realises how many thousands of people actually perform the haka to the highest of levels.
Hush up Steve!!, many more than you can count to on your lil yt fingers continue to ensure this culture will NEVER be silenced again Crawl back under your rock!!
When you are not a part of it that might be the case, but to be there, be part of it and believe in the energy behind why they are doing it. As a kiwi myself I disagree 100% with Ur sentiment. But to each their own
@@Rebecca-nx5echaha which haka? There are literally hundreds… this one looks pretty unique to the NZ Olympic team… looks like they all bought in… unlike some other unpatriotic kiwis. 😏
@@Sloppyjoe7390 let me tell you it was one wild year! Somewhere in between then and now this dance was really popular like we were supposed to care like they want us to now. Cool song and dance seen it before many decades ago

This is a welcome not a challenge, it's not done like it would be for a sports game, as a Kiwi it's understandable that the culture is lost on those from outside the country, this has a lot of spiritual meaning behind why it is done
Bro what a reductive thing to say about a traditional way of welcoming and greeting, it's the norm for New Zealanders when something so special, impactful is happing to welcome everyone
Lol bubble boy, there's a whole wide world out there where people respect and embrace each other dispite culture differences. New Zealand is not perfect, but judging by most other countries turmoil right now id say we are doing culture better than most.
I always am amazed at how dedicated New Zealanders are to performing the Haka at sporting events. It just shows their pride in their Māori heritage.
In the US, we sing the anthem at everything. I think I can understand this mentality. :)
Not just sporting events, it is done at weddings, funerals, graduations and other important events to show respect.
Absolutely love this! I have always thoroughly enjoyed watching the Haka. It has always really moved me.

Love and respect back at you and to all of Ireland 🤙
Its probably been 10 years since the first viral haka before the world cup and its still as badass as ever

The problem with the haka is that it gets forced on us if someone didn't want to do it they would be called racist.
