I love me some Haka!
Dang. Pretty impressive. Thanks.
Groom looks like he is about to crap himself at the beginning. Then he gets into the groove at the end! And I thought my weddings were scary! LOL
I read somewhere, years ago, that the Haka was something Maori's used to scare the you know what out of their enemies.The eye popping, cheek blowing and tongue hanging out things are meant to make them seem more ferocious and larger than they are. Who wouldn't be intimidated by their ferocity?
@patchoullijulie They do look like some of those idols and statues you see from the Pacific Islands! It would be intimidating, especially on a battlefield back in the days of swords and spears. Even now, it would get the adrenalin pumping and make the enemy, if they could hear it, a little nervous.
@Barnie2years yep!
@patchoullijulie Did you see the one of the military company doing this as they were getting ready to leave Afghanistan? If not I will try to find it.
@Barnie2years No I did not. Thanks for the heads up. I will try to find it too. thanks
@Barnie2years A bit of history about the Haka.
@patchoullijulie Thanks!
@patchoullijulie That's really cool. I think nations should resolve disputes in this way. Can you imagine Trump doing the Haka?
@AstralSmoke Oh noooooooo.....you just spoiled it for me ?
I'll have some of what they're having!
Yeah baby me too!!
