Polynesian Martial Arts 【Maori and Hawaiian Martial Arts, Weapons, Training Methods and Origins】

The South Pacific was...and in many ways still is...a brutal yet beautiful place.

Maori had schools of learning called "Wananga" where they taught this higher knowledge of learning even weaponry called "Mau Rakau"

I watched a video talking about “War Darts’ and how they sometimes these heavy looking arrows could be thrown by a string. One of the commentators gave a story about a game played by his uncles that had something to do with looping a cord of sorts around a long projectile and then if it made it on the object it was then thrown down range at a target. Your talk about thee young training with throwing weapons is what I’m trying to learn about. This game that was played by children similar in a way to lawn darts with a rope. I’m just trying to see what it looked like.

The Pitou or club is similar to those of Polynesia and those of the Indians of the United States.
