AMERICAN REACTS: HAKA: King's College v Auckland Grammar

[@robynandrews4384]

The main reason we wear uniforms here is so your not discriminated against socio-economically. Otherwise, some kids will come to school with labels, and some will have no shoes or holes in their clothes. It's so everyone can presumably be on an even level in regard to appearance. Oh, and it's also to identify the school if any waggers are roaming the street causing mischief.

[@kimgeddes261]

Plus, it's tradition

[@fallenangel_899]

Plus they can last for the entire time you are at that school. Still use my same uniform for 4 years and still going strong, its because its good quality

[@kuovatisivea9525]

Well said.

[@teikipouwhare7426]

[@TheMarathonomahos]

But I noticed the boys there wear high socks, which is strange, and they actually stay up all day, even if they run. Their is no way you can run and keep those socks up, but they do, and I've seen it at Auckland Grammer

[@frfrha]

Don't get me wrong we do hate wearing uniform but it's a sign of equity nobody is above anybody else

[@masonlittle2089]

big facts, we all hated wearing it but it did help us. was such a change going from sommerville intermediate ( East Tamaki ) to south auckland from button up shirts, garters, strict shoe rules and strict collar rules to kids with whatever hair and nail colour what ever socks, piercings, cuture tattoos, as simple as "black shoes", polo shirts. i get its still strict to americans but what a relief compared to what i was used to

I speak Māori. The line during the haka that caught your attention "kia tūturu whakamaua kia tina" - it's basically saying 'are we bound together?' or 'are we united?', it's a bit like a call to arms to his team mates. It's a line that goes way back hundreds of years.

The second school (Kings College) is one of the schools Millionaires send there kids to, 30k a year just for school fee’s. It’s also mostly a white and Asian dominated school hence why the haka isn’t as powerful. The video isn’t old. College in NZ is like your high schools so the kids in the video age range is between 13-18yrs old.

The whole point of uniforms is everyone is equal. It teaches you consistency, pride, and discipline. This in turn guides you towards striving to be the best you can be as a student and leads you towards employment at the end of your education. Simply put.

[@alisonspeaking]

Uniforms also help us form a bond of brother or sisterhood It’s sort of like college in America but we go from high schools like this to university without this sort of culture. This culture is mostly a highschool experience in nz and Australia

in haka the women have different movements than the men. they don't do all of the bending down that the guys do so they have slightly altered hand and upper body movements to mirror them

Um yes they do😂 The females he watched weren’t Māori that’s all, they were yt 😅

[@escobar5955]

An also a lot of non Māori & some Māori females in NZ schools are embarrassed to do the haka that’s why they stand there looking clueless

[@toys7198]

Everyone be talking about the uniforms... So that you know, there are separate Hakas for women and men (also for different occasions). Traditionally women would stand behind the men to show support, but would often be carrying something called 'poi' which is a spinning weapon, hence the very small hand movements, that is what you would use to manipulate the stringed weapon. They're not giving it a half go... it's the same as when one of the boys lifts their hand like they're holding a spear., it's the same movements, just without the weapon. Also a lot of the time the women will bulge their eyeballs hard out which is why some of the "faces" that you see happen, there's meaning to it all. Cool video tho man, much love from our way

The girls aren't doing sigh language, the acts that they're doing is all apart of the haka, it's also tradition that boys are in the front and girls are in the back. And this kind of haka is meant for respect but also intimidation. Trust me it's ALOT louder in person.

[@Chandals_NZ]

school vs school haka is the most intense

[@Ron-uq2hg]

I used to catch the ferry from Devonport to Auckland to go to high school every day. A long running sport on the ferry was the girls were upstairs and the boys downstairs. This was in the fifties and steam ferries. The sport on the ferries was to try and flick the school cap off the head of a pupil from a different school and into the harbour. I always carried a spare school cap in my case but never needed it. Also never managed to lick anyone’s cap off. Oh the good old days of the old Seddon Teck.

[@cashmoney4593]

During the 2nd world war a platoon of moari soldier's called the Moari Battalion would perform the Haka before thete enemies to honour the battle they were encountering upon the enemy. Showing no fear at all which chilled the enemy in which some enemy would drop there weapons and run. Thou some would fall from the fire of shots at them they completr the haka before battle.

2nd groups formation is a teachers trick. They group up close so when everyones is yelling you cant hear your voice. And because of that you try harder to hear yourself.

Great vid. Also I loved uniforms. They where the best aside from some of the stupid rules we had to follow (for example if you’re a junior boy, your socks had to be all the way up, not scrunched down). Or if you’re a girl, your skirt can’t be too high (we all wore them high anyways lmao) The first time I had to start going to uni without uniform I hated it bc now I suddenly had to pick different outfits everyday after wearing uniforms since I was like 5

[@v-ballfanatics5146]

in Australia we where uniforms so that disadvantaged kids won't be discriminated against for being poor, i think if America had our system the kids would benefit from it

[@jamestautuku]

Uniforms are given to us at school here for a few reasons, to know which school we attend so we get caught if we bunk/wag school, second so that some students don't feel shame coming to school in clothing thats not as flashy or up to date as those with rich parents etc so everyone can feel equal and also because we represent the school we ought to dress in a way that brings a respectful and reputable image to the school.

[@macladymclean]

The haka is taught at a very young age from kindergarten thru to college. Some kids join Kapa Haka groups so they can be apart of a group where they can extend their knowledge of the Maori culture. What you are seeing is the rivalry between the two schools. A lot of our top rugby players thru out our history has come from these schools and the young men you see playing, will one day be an All Black. The girls in some tribes do not do the haka so in support they stand behind their men and perform as their support group.

[@neonknees]

Don't forget they are speaking Māori. The 'wh' is pronounced 'fa'. So they are not cursing. You are hearing Māori words as if they are English.

When you finally get to NZ, you will understand a lot more. :)

The female Haka incorporates the same words but the actions are less exaggerated because the females are not expected to fight. Kings College in this particular game were the home side and Auckland Grammar were the visitors.

The girls don’t do the haka bc that’s considered tapu(disrespectful) the men do the Haka to intimidate or welcome and the girls stay behind while the men protect them that’s why the girls are doing those little actions.
