TRINITY NEW HAKA

ISIKELI COCKER LEADS THE HAKA BEFORE THE
BINGHAM GAME

[@Lidz2193]

this was an exhibition match at the beginning of the season. I was on the other team (Bingham Miners out of Salt Lake City Utah we were top ranked in our state and Trinity was top in their state as well) You can't see in the video but we also have a tradition performing the Haka. We were doing our Haka at the same time as they were. The original plan was to be face to face with them doing both Haka's but the league said that we would need to face our own sidelines. We lost the game 42-28. Mad respect to Trinity. Watching this video brought a massive smile to my face.

[@jellycrewproductions2683]

All polyneisan have their own sense of the "haka" in my own culture, the Samoan culture, it's call the Siva Tau the Tongans, Fijian, tokelauans, Hawaiians, Nieuans and many more Pacifica countries hold their own special war dance. The all blacks had nothing to do with it, Pacificas Island's war dances go centuries ago

[@tamper796]

Bet the crowd got goose bumps I didn't tho lol here in nz we use to it

[@matemate2089]

Sipitau..You havent seen it all I guess, but true this is done in serious fashion it was done by our ancestors to prepare for war, in this context they are preparing for war (football game) so the context in which the Haka/Sipitau mix is used is correct and I dont mind too much about the actions as they most likely havent been exposed to the war dances like we have.

[@fvaaIV]

If your going to butt in, please read the previous conversation. I never said it was universal for WAR DANCE, I was implying that the word in essence is commonly used to refer to dance, The original comment was that IT LOOKS LIKE A TONGAN DANCE, I pointed out that Tongans use the word Haka too, but apparently only Maori do.

[@blueduckpond1]

well ive seen tongan hakas and they look nothing like that and they are done with alot more seriousness and respect

[@rycor814]

Not a haka. Haka is Maori. Those are Tongans. This is a version of a sipi tau, which is a version of the kailao. Calling this a haka is the same as calling a two-step a waltz.

[@fvaaIV]

kailao is a form of WAR DANCE.. just like the tau fakaniua is a WAR DANCE. Haka could mean dance in many forms, thats what im pertaining to.. please comprehend what you read before butting in. thank :)

[@missmaniapoto18]

May I suggest you try the Ha'a instead? It is specifically Hawaiian. It would benefit all of those involved to know their own wardance and spread the culture of Hawaii. Uplift your language and culture and be proud. I see some other teams have already started doing the ha'a. I look forward to Hawaiians embracing their culture and proudly displaying it to us all.

Respect the HAKA or STFU! The haka (/ˈhɑːkə/; plural haka, in both Māori and English) is a ceremonial dance or challenge in Māori culture. It is a posture dance performed by a group, with vigorous movements and stamping of the feet with rhythmically shouted accompaniment.

[@TheTheotherfoot]

Lisa Mia. The thing you seem to be missing is that is "in maori culture", not for who ever thinks they can invent a crap version and use it as their own.

[@txgrifm]

Anyone who has played American Football AND Rugby knows that American Football is much more high impact and with much greater chance of injury. Rugby is more linear, with most contact being made after side to side movement in open field. I never got my bell rung in rugby, but bumps and bruises were much more common. The high speed multidirectional impact of American Football is much much more rough than anything in rugby, and thats coming from an unbiased view of someone who played both for many years. Its not the absence of the pads that make Rugby less violent, its the structure of the game. I love both, but I don't like the argument that Rugby is more rough, because its just not true. Although you will get more minor hurts without pads, you will get way less serious injuries.

[@kezzakilla7171]

Ever played bullrush or crash in nz??

[@txgrifm]

+. Kezzakilla No I haven't. But I still maintain that rugby takes a harder toll on your body long term, and you will sustain more minor injuries along the way. But the impact and injuries of football are much worse. People feel invincible with a helmet on, and the vertical nature of football creates many more high speed impacts than rugby which sees only a few hard collisions per game. The biggest fear of most people about rugby is the size and strength of the players. But coming from someone who wasnt outsized or strength'd on the field it isnt scary at all. It's nothing compared to catching a pass over the middle, getting hit on a full speed kick return, a FB and LB meeting head on in the hole or many other aspects of American football. Anyone who has played both at a high level understands this. Most people are unfamiliar with rugby and the thought of getting tackled with no pads by a strong person scares them. And so people who have played rugby like to make it sound rougher than it really is because they know others haven't experienced it and admire the danger in it. I understood this even while playing. It's amazing how much more manly the girls thought rugby was than football, and I just thought 'oh if you only knew'. The worst hits i took in rugby wouldn't even crack the top 20 of my football career. But in fairness I did play football 15 years and rugby only 5. But still, both are great sports. I wish I could still play, but my body has been through too much. Basically in rugby you are going to be sore more, and have more bumps and bruises, but in football you will experience more events that could severely hurt you.
