[@patakanz]

I'd love to have been there in person to see this. Those year 9s delivered with incredible passion. Makes me proud of my old school every time I see this.

[@seniaeastmure8537]

Thank you so much. Always glad to see proud Old Boys' still feeling the PNBHS spirit. Really are proud of our school and its students. #NihilBoneSineLabore

patakanz that is 1 tall year 9, that one near the middle, he's pakeha

[@rexlebas2875]

As an old boy, makes me very embarrassed.

[@leafii.]

It’s scary and intimidating when they are older. Oh lord how I was scared when I was younger from my family doing this 🤣🤣🤣

[@ritaholden4591]

I would like to feel that rumbling lol excellent!!

[@Hucksty]

Makes me wish we in the UK had a heritage like this to teach our kids! Truly awesome display of passion!

[@seniaeastmure8537]

Thank you so much. We really are proud of our school amd its students.

[@Aaron-yx6zz]

+tjhucks completely agree, this is so incredible to watch. the passion is incredible, gives me chills everytime.

[@DavidSmith-yi8ou]

Mate you’ve got plenty of heritage to be proud of too.

[@lambethlongshanks4791]

Imagine a Morris dance off. Doesn't quite cut it.

[@bhanani5480]

It's awesome to see the WHOLE school participating and not just the Māori kids, too much you fullas 👍

[@leafii.]

Maoris love to include others. and New Zealanders basically were given the chance too since their New Zealanders. Not maori but New Zealanders. I’m a girl so I can’t do something AS intimidating as this but my brother gotta learn for an upcoming unveiling. As long as the haka and our Maori heritage and actions aren’t Appropriated we’re prefects fine :)

[@dwaterson21]

I love to see that the Māori culture hasn't been destroyed by imperialism. It's actually amazing.

[@eniolaakinfolarin9645]

Smiles, who wouldn't want to be part of it

[@ninilongolongofolau4119]

Even tho I'm a Tongan kiwi, I still love watching the culture I grew up with. Nz proud

[@leafii.]

And I’m Maori proud :) also cool your Tongan! I don’t see many here in Australia. Especially my school

[@willowbrooke1215]

See all the white dudes participating? That was normal growing up 50 yrs ago

[@Red_River_Valley_2022]

I wonder what will an alien say when it enters the room unexpectedly 😂

[@Saiyan_Steph]

Can you imagine leading one of these hakas

[@apomtaylor8054]

Damn palmy puts all of the other schools to shame when it comes to the Maori culture in NZ. We used to do this at Napier Boys, just not on this level.

[@peterscott8416]

I go to Napier boys, we dont do this anymore😹

[@planetX15]

@@peterscott8416 Anymore? How come?

[@taylorhine2962]

Bruh this school trash. I mean it's probably the best for Maimstream schools but Maori schools would destroy these guys in Kapa haka

That’s totally awesome

Quantity or Quality, either way it’s unity that wins

[@Camlling]

Love how the camera shakes at 2:53

[@scottlewisparsons9551]

When I was at school in the 1960s we had a school haka, however, I don’t remember doing it very often. I find this rather good to see. Especially as it probably upsets the woke wimps seeing all that toxic masculinity jumping around all at once! Have a good day everyone from Sydney Australia. PS sorry to bring up politics! I just couldn’t resist it!

[@MovieStuff-ug9cq]

well done

[@_Umbrael_]

Damn, wish I'd gone to this school. Though my heritage isn't the only one that did it, Hawaiians also did the Haka.

Their School reminds me of Rotorua boys high

[@Ianmundo]

this is the schoolboy equivalent of ‘would you rather fight 10 horse-sized ducks 🦆 or 100 duck-sized horses’ 🐎

Whoa, that's different Ha! ..

[@psnglck20]

Crazy shit. Doesnt some army unit use this as intimidation

[@marianamarino126]

It's a part of our culture.

[@paulolosi5204]

It's part of the Maori culture the natives back in the days used it in battles to intimidate their enemies! Football players now days are using it before or after each game kind a symbolic to that but we use it in weddings, farewell, or welcoming someone and a lot more!

[@LadyOaksNZ]

During WW2 the German Commander Rommel ran into our boys in Nth Africa ~ The 28th Maori Battalion... and said if they'd been on Germanys side they'd have won the war! ⚘⚘⚘

[@leafii.]

@@paulolosi5204 a whole lot more. I’ve gotta do it for an unveiling and it’s not only limited to the boys which is something good I love because I am a girl and know next to nothing about Being Maori cause my grandfather never gave me the chance. I guess when the next war comes we will do the haka again 🤭

Особенно блондины как-то странно смотрятся в этих ритуальных туземских танцах.

[@Spoketlabolina]

This is such a celebration...At first glance it might look like the school i advocating for violent behaviour but I think its the opposite, it connects them to their culture, finds unity within natives and settlers from overseas while being an outlet for emotions, using aggressivity as a demonstration for the power within oneself and together with others. I have no outlets for those kind of emotions at all...specially as a woman, you aren't allowed to the full spectrum of emotions..just like a lot of men havn't been allowed to cry. We obviously need both outlets to function. Not being allowed to access sadness trough tears leaves only anger, anxiety or numbness...while only crying wont restore a healthy sense of pride that one could experience from being assertive and setting boundries...but what do I know...haha I havn't felt true anger for 15 years!!!

New Zealand Maori Culture, the only time u can act like a true, testosterone-filled, barbaric chad & actually get mad respect

Please what means hakas.Thank you with all my respect from Greece.

[@rexlebas2875]

It's a traditional Maori war dance or challenge prior to going into battle . Today it is getting used on every inappropriate occasion.

They are not emboding demons , this is culture this is their heritage. Dont speak on something you dont anything about , jus cuz it “ looks or sounds “ intimidating doesnt mean it is. Dont judge base of looks , Think before you speak and Learn before Acting
