Fighting stance Boast, begin! Here we are, fearless Hawai‘i warriors Drenched in the red Tuahine rain Upright cliff of Pu'u Ohi'a Thrust the appendage In the time of change, hot was the earth In the time of change, turned inside-out, the heavens An eruption occurred, gushed forth the molten lava of battle Stand as Ku, spirit of manhood. Stand, stand! Oh Ku, spirit of the vastly powerful. Oh Ku, oh Ku! Oh Ku, spirit of victory. Oh Ku, oh Ku! Oh Ku, spirit of ferocity in battle. Oh Ku, oh Ku! Stand to the courage of all Hawai‘i.

No, this is Hawaii, not New Zealand. This is called the Ha'a. The Maori did not invent this. The Haka simply became the most popular/known form because white New Zealanders are constantly performing and appropriating the Haka at sporting events.

This is the Ha'a not the "haka".... the ha'a is a dance native to Hawaii. And the dance is not to. "Intimidate"... it's to draw strength from one's ancestors for protection. Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean it's unsportsmanlike. Just means you're ignorant.

Not a haka

Ha’a my bro, you’re right tho heaps underrated

​@@cheeseballjamual it is a haka

@@davidtolman1266its a ha'a, hawaiian not maori

@@davidtolman1266its a ha'a, hawaiian not maori

Help me understand why hawaiians would do haka instead of their own ha'a. The ha'a is amazing u can feel the wairua in it so why practice haka bro? No hate here brother and yes im maori

That’s the point. It’s to intimidate the opponent.

@@mav40420 yeah I know. It’s just that it seems most of them were fumbling with the words, especially the last half of the chant

@@brickhouse7978 that’s why they had the real islanders in the front😂

How to be ignorant without saying that you're ignorant

@@mannyn2587your culture and dance is retarted. Your team sucks balls

What’s wrong with others embracing the ha’a? Filipinos are Pacific Islanders too before the colonial times and all pacific islanders came from Philippines. We are ALL ONE, distant cousins.

@@alecsbenting1963 hell no

@@alecsbenting1963 no. No we did not.

It’s American football

It'd be cool if all of Polynesia had their own Olympic like tournament. All the war chants wouldn't get old, they're too cool.

This isn't Haka. So how are Maori better at someone else's war chant?

@@woohooo7634 well, in that case, the Maori haka is better.

@@woohooo7634 hawaiians dont do this they just copied from maori haka

imjr8o8 FYI Maori was the last of Polynesian migration, so everything they took came from different parts of Polynesia, including hawaii... so how is that coping someone else’s culture, when all of Polynesia was doing this way before the Maori ppl even existed.

Someone jelly

I don't think he's doing to well there, lol.

Houston Asterisks Go Cougs

Comrade Shaandan hits more when you understanding what they are saying and why they are saying it

it's not about who is the most intimidating, westerners will never understand polynesian culture.

Purpose is to call on their ancestors for strength for the battle they are about to partake in. Not to intimidate.

Not for you Haole!😢

Its not a comparision battle you idiot its about culture something you westerners and foreigners will NEVER understand!!! FACTS

They need to be more committed and put their hearts completely into it that's what makes war dances so impactful

Ru Valenz it’s part of their culture you fuck
