So refreshing to see a father who doesn’t talk too much and tries living through his son’s success he understands his role as his boys trainer and works in the background.

Have a successful son of your own and choose how you would like to raise him instead of trying to live through other fathers if you understand the role so well.

In boxing we see alot of father son teams. Some of the Dads always want the the limelight. Taps lets his son shine, low key. Malo le onosai'i team Opetaia. If you grew in Syd in the 90s and frequented RnB / Hip hop clubs. Alot of the time Taps would work security.

@@unknownsamoan01@colinm610, I’m a Brit in the UK 🇬🇧 but I’ve been subscribed to Samoan Media 🇼🇸 since early Covid Lockdown, when Big Joe Parker was making his spoof movie videos, I just found the channel and I love watching it, to me they show the Samoan Culture well and if I have any questions to ask about different topics, songs or traditional music or dances, there’s always someone who answers straight away! I 1st knew about Jai on a UK Saturday Morning sports program when he qualified for the Olympics and they done an article on him and his Cousin Tim Cahill who was a real Premiership Football star t the time and they said they came from the Boxing background and that’s what gave Tim his feisty spirit, so I’ve known about him for a while now!

Tapu is like ‘bad luck’ or ‘forbidden’ in Māori so that name is gangsta
@bigtmusic9867Ай бұрын
@@reihoro3457 I’m Maori too - Tapu is the strongest force in Māori life. It has numerous meanings and references. Tapu can be interpreted as 'sacred', or defined as 'spiritual restriction', containing a strong imposition of rules and prohibitions. A person, object or place that is tapu may not be touched or, in some cases, not even approached.
