NZDF Haka meets Gurkari Kukri Dance | New Zealand Army

A show of strength 💪 While on exercise recently, soldiers from our New Zealand Army's 2nd/1st Battalion, Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment, performed a haka to their ‪@britisharmy‬ counterparts from Royal Gurkha Rifles. RGR replied in turn with their traditional Kukri Dance.
Culture is integral to our Defence Force, and moments like these we share with pride.

Of the 2 warrior Cries, I guess the Gurkhas have a more blood curdling sound PLUS have a huge tally of medals in all battles including the Victoria Cross. In the battle for Goose green, Falklands, the brave SAS trooper said that the Argentinans almost kaaked themselves, when face with the Gurkhas and their legendary battle cry " “Jai Maha Kali, Ayo Gorkhali”. Wondering why the NZ rupert leading the gurkhas said Jai Kaali instead of Jai MAHA-kaali? TRUE LEGENDS - Just a few years ago , on a train in India, a Gurkha Officer (off duty) protected the honour of a teenage gal against 40 bandits -" Officer Bishnu Shrestha" told the Times of India, "I am a soldier and get paid to protect citizens of this country. I could not sit back and watch as passengers were looted. I pulled out my khukuri and attacked the criminals. I succeeded in connecting with at least three of them. The blows were severe and they must have got themselves admitted to some hospital. By then, the criminals started fighting back. They fired a shot that missed me. At one point of time, the khukuri fell from my hand and I was overpowered. They picked it up and used it on me."

As an Indian, who is naturally biased in favour of Gorkhas, I have no qualms in admitting that the Haka outdid the Khukri dance in this instance. Gorkhas are simple, down to earth and likeable men. They're all about results and dedication. They know little about showmanship. Haka on the other hand is a bone chilling psychological warfare tool.

Even martha leader nana shaib ( only son of the last peshwa baji rao) took refuge in nepal. Nepal is very influencial land od the himalaya. India and pakistan had univeristy such as takshila and nalanda but that knowlege came from this land they didnot spoke in sanskrit but in pali language. The same land of nepal feom which ramayan camw to south from valmiki ashram of nepal. The same hinalyan land of nepal which has rishi vashsita ashram who gave righ vedh and this particular knowlge is so old that oldest evidence of sanskrit word comes from this book. Himalayan kingdome of nepal is iconic for their their knowledge. No forigner have ever defeated this himalyan land but great empire of north and south have established friendship with the kingdome of nepal. Such as ashoka daughter was married to nepali prince.the circle symbol of indian flag. As well as the tibetean king who even conquerd china his wife was nepali princess ( the spread of budhism in tibet). The pagoda style arcticture of asia came from nepal architect arnaniko that even kublia khan ( decendnt of gengis khan) admired. Many of china imcredible building is inspired by this architect as well as some. Of his work still stand in china. Pagoda style is seen all over asia korea,japan, thailand. There is alot to offer. The gukrhahave been admired hy their enemy reason some have clapped and cheerd for gurkha soilder than to shoot at them like the statement of vc in kulbir thapa.

The enemy would be wise to turn back. The British brought Gurkha peoples to Myanmar before WW2 and we still have Gurkha villages in Myanmar. The Gurkha fighters heavily influenced the Myanmar traditional martial arts called Bando that we adopted the Kukri knife fighting as part of the Bando martial art.

[@lachlanpike5469]

The germans feared the Maoris cause the won't die and had fearce fighting capability. Erwin Rommel once said "Give me a battalion of Maori soldiers and I will rule the world" The Japanese feared the gurkas cause they fought and used unexpected techniques that the Japanese couldn't use. Lachhiman Gurung fought with 2 others against 200 Japanese soldiers his fellow soldiers were injured and couldn't fight Lachhiman had lost all his fingers on his right hand and held the line with one arm and dared the Japanese to fight him. "Come and fight a Gurkha"

@@berniecoles2337 Having done time in both Police and Defence I came to several conclusions.. 1) English are excellent at the logistics, invention of both naval and land weaponry, the organisation and disciplining of troops and keeping accurate accounts of tactics, strategy and intelligence. The laws, procedures, recommendations and national interests of conflict. 2) The Scots,Irish, Australians, Canadians,NZers, can excell at both the logistics side of war and rough terrain, mountains, jungles etc.Provide excellent camaraderie and maintain a good 'esprit de corps'.'However English make better exec decisions. 3) The most fearsome.fighters are without doubt Polynesians from Fiji, Samoa, Tonga and Maori of. NZ. In short intense battles they are superb. However that energy can wane off in prolonged engagements. Hygiene, discipline and maintenance become issues. Not great at calculating required food, water, clothing, weapons and other logistics. 4)Gurkha are probably the best 'unit' of infantry you can assemble, Can march forever, endure any weather or terrain and have courage in spades. However not great at leadership or discipline and need supervision for cleaning weapons, boots and kit. Have issues maintaining good hygiene and cleaning of equipment. Haiti 2010-2016 was an example. 5) The Wehrmacht and the Imperial.Japanese Army were formidable forces as well however post conflict atrocities are too well.documented and were overt and heinous. If all out conflict occurred again it would be wise to have them join forces. Example is both countries under the Police banner excel.at counter terrorism operatives...Germany's GSG9 and Japans Tokushu -butai are superb fighting units. 6)England dominated the world via its Royal Marines and Royal Naval excellence. But that era is over. Cheers from Australia.
