MasterPain Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 This is something most of us Americans haven't seen. The New Zealand All Blacks rugby team start their games with a war dance. Based on the Maori haka. In this example it is responded to with an Aboriginal war dance.Post other examples of Warrior culture in modern society.

ShotokanKid Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I was a little concerned about someone getting speared...Definitely interesting though, that would definitely pump you up before a game.

DWx Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 They NZ's always do the Haka at our TKD tournaments, especially if they win something. When I went to the World's in '09 one of their guys did a TKD-style Haka on the mats, very coolThe Samoan and Tonga rugby team do it too. Awesome when these teams have to play each other: You guys ever seen the gingerbread Haka : "Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it." ~ Confucius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brutus Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 When I played rugby, our team actually learned the Haka, in secret, then did it almost every game. Surprised the hell out of both the other team and our coaches.We were about 13 at the time. "Really, if someone grabs you, you just punch 'em in the face and run..."
