An an Australian who's played school sport against a Kiwi team, I can confirm the HAKA is extremely intimidating! They are some tough mothers! Proud to call them neighbors!
Not intimidating at all you must be a right girl, I think it's nothing try it against a load of vikings they would get destroyed, I'd love to see the two tribes fight because we all know the mori what ever there called didn't conquer anyone ! But vikings conquered the world pretty much
@@danielbarnes6873 Nah vikings didn't conquered the world, mongolian almost did But anyway discussing which ethnic group is more powerful in different temporal and spatial contexts is meaningless. Regardless of which one of them stands before you, they can intimidate you makes you wetting your pants. You are just a pitiful keyboard warrior.
Honestly as a Māori Wahine ( female ), the best Haka are the ones that come from the heart, the ones done with so much mana and pride. The most thrilling ones that I’ve experienced are either from ‘Kapa Haka’ performances ( recommend people to watch clips of these, get a more solid look into our Māori culture ) and special family occasions. The most beautiful one for me was the one I received by my family from back home in New Zealand on camera for my 21st birthday over here in Australia. Every Haka tells a story, I know it may come off as weird to others but this is apart of my culture and identity. I take pride in it, honour it and down right love it.
Looks like they put way too much ugha bugha into the side show leading up to the actual sporting event and nothing into winning the games that they are there to participate in… 😱
I like how when the basketball team performed the haka, the opposing team watched attentively and then afterward actually clapped for them. That felt like real sportsmanship!
+Félix Laprise means kiwis acknowledge or respect their opponent. Too much misconceptions on the intimidation part. Maybe it is somewhat because of that but definitely what I said earlier.
maybe in the NBA is not that of a contact sport, but if you play basketball in Europe, especially on the Balcan area and Turkey, you know that you have to be prepared for lots of contact during the game. We have very tough defence, and we don't care about the show that much but for the win.
Hakas are so powerful, both visually and emotionally. And the fact that if you are part of the team they don't care about your ethnicity or color or anything else, you have the right and the privilege to share this moment of brotherhood with your team mates. Just beautiful.
@@benjaminfraser8208 well they arent the only ones "allowed" to do it. People who are proud of their culture always appreciates when a person outside of their culture wholeheartedly learns about and takes time to remember a tradition
It's funny, it was like they have never seen the Haka before......they probably hadn't. Anyhow....it doesn't really work when skinny basketball players do it.
I had the honour and privilege of seeing a Haka performed by members of the New Zealand Navy a number of years ago in an enclosed hall on a stage that was hollow underneath, even now over 20 years later I still remember the cold shiver up my spine witnessing it!! The Haka is something everyone has to witness live at some stage in their lives, they will never forget it!!
The Enforcer probably because they don’t know what the haka is in the us they are not interested in other cultures meanwhile other countries like Canada or Australia are interested in the cultures of other countries
New Zealanders should get into world tournaments of golf, tennis, ping pong, bowling, poker, billiards, and other non-team sports so we could see a 1-v-1 haka.
Watch your mouth kid. Obviously my comment was directed towards "TideFan Yankee", reading comprehension must be hard to come by in a development country huh? Oh yes, I'm not American. I'm from Norway so pretty much everything compared to my country is third world.
The Haka is only Māori. For our Samoa cousins, it would be the Siva Tau. Our Fiji cousins would be the Cibi, I believe. Also there is no ‘s’ in Te reo Māori, so it is just Haka.
Yes, let's advance our society and technology to enable interstellar space travel and achieve our dreams of domination of galaxies and leave when first faced with the primitive lower lifeforms looking at us funny...
The US basketball coach told his team really casually that the New Zealand team has a traditional chant that they do. Be respectful. Then, game time. The US team experienced the chant like 😮😮. (Yes, I have read that it's more than just a chant. I'm joking around a little.)
What a great tradition what you have. It's admirable how you perform your hakas in any sport. I used to think that it was a think only from rugby. I admire you, players from New Zealand. Greetings from Mexico.
Can we take a minute to appreciate how awesome it is to see the indigenous culture of such a small (in terms of size and population) nation being shared worldwide ❤ 🎉
Wow, nice tradition! If u newzealanders enter to any match with this attitude to fight to win, then I see there is great chance to win. It is delightful to see how the maori tradition is in the national soul, and I'm pretty sure kiwis are very proud to belong to NZ. Best regards from Ecuador, South America!
I'm not from New Zealand but I respect this comment.Thanks for spreading so much positivity, this is how the UA-cam comment should be, not just random people insulting each other.
That Ice Hockey Haka in the rink at 5:52 with the echo gave me chills it must have been similar to what it would have sounded like when thousands took to the field.
Of all the traditional arts that humanity has ever created for thousands of years of anthropological evolution and development, the Haka is one of the most imposing, formidable, and effective creation to have ever been made. The ability to express one's strength and ferocity in such a terrifyingly beautiful way against one's adversaries is phenomenal. To think that this art is still preserved and lives on to the 21st century is amazing. I hope that it can be passed down for generations to come.
Maori didn't have shields, and Taiaha were the closest thing to spears, though they were very short and closer to quarterstaff in how they were used. Think axes, and muskets.
You mean Union and Sevens? Not so much league lol, but then again we leave that for the Aussies to dominate. We're also pretty good at AFL, although so are PNG and Ireland. But we dominate Softball (ISF Men's World Championship) quite substantially.
Raising your arms high above your head like you just won a marathon or something before a job interview is supposed to boost your confidence, so I would say doing this when you are alone before an interview could help pump yourself up.
The one with the US bbal team....their reactions were priceless...looking on just confused as to what was happening thrn at the end Steph just burys a 3 like nothing happened....ice in his veins...not a Steph fan at all but that was just cold
Growing up watching our rugby team (Springboks) play against the ABs so many times, it has been such a joy to watch the haka across sports. Ka mate ka mate is the best
lol I like Ka Mate too but it was made by a Cruel Cannibal Chief who massacred about 75% of the Maoris living on the south island and he treated his prisoners like livestock in a pen and then we he went on campaign he would just pick out the ones he wanted so his army could live of human flesh instead of foraging and risking being ambushed.
I remember this game. I was at work and everyone came in just to watch it on telly lol The game was being played like 3 blocks away from my job and you could literally hear the crowd roaring and horns blasting down the st. Obviously the game on TV is delayed so it was pointless watching the rest haha Twas a good night
The French got robbed by the referee because the world cup was in NZ. And the French ousted NZ two times in the WC (1999, 2007) so there's nothing to brag about.
Shadow Man is probably American. Very unlikely he knows what the word "culture" means, but because it's different to his own and doesn't involve building a wall to hide from it, he is scared of it.
Depends on what you mean by most popular. In my opinion, being popular in one or two overpopulated countries in the world does not make it the second biggest sport in the World. I think one should account sports being the most widespread. The only reason field hockey and cricket come high up on the list, is because they were dumped in India as the reject sports that they are by the Brits, whilst they went home and watched football instead.
This is taking pride in your nation and people to the extreme. No one else does this. I like this. Savage and dangerous war chanting makes things better. Intimidating your enemies.
This is pretty impressive, but ironically, there are a lot of accounts in history of battles between Romans and various barbarian tribes... in the earlier centuries when the Romans were more disciplined, they would spook their enemy by walking up on them without stopping and in complete silence. But then again, the psychology of combat it not exactly the same as sport.
Mhmm back in the olden days the Maori tribes could be invaded easily so they preformed a "war dance" (Haka, yes it literally means war dance) to scare the invaders off. Aaaah I love Maori culture
I’m completely willing to be wrong, please correct me if that’s the case... but I think the Haka before a sporting event is the closest approximation and example of true ancient warrior tradition of officially beginning a battle. What a powerful and beautiful piece of Maori culture. Respect 🙏🏻
We should have a Haka acceptance for the other teams to present! Each country doing their own war cry in honor and respect! And create a whole new tradtion for Rugbi and Sport! Not just for the sake of it but as a representation of what it is to be human!
+Richard Down it would be nice. The problem is that not all countries have a cultural background in the same way New Zealand has. And some have it in a much bigger proportion. I mean, New Zealand have basically two different ethnic groups: the Maori and the European descendants. The Haka is cultural ritual from the Maori. In their case is easy. But take a country like mine, Brazil, which has hundreds of different native ethnicities, each one with their own roots, culture and traditions, some with great rivalries with others, plus the immigrants from all over the world, literally. If we would do something like that, at some point we would dishonor one tribe to honor other. And not only here. There are countries in Africa with thousands of aboriginal tribes, plus the european descendants. Imagine the problem they would have trying to do something like this? It's complicated, although I think it would be cool...
+Shotgun Zombie I know. I even joke about it with my friends from other countries hahahaha But I must be thankful that in Portuguese, my native language, my name is completely normal :P
That's a good thing. In historical time, Haka was also used to distract the opponent. I guess for the bigger and much scarier warriors to leap out and kill lol
Remembered seeing the Haka, last year in the RL world cup. New Zealand Vs Australia (Elland Road). And honestly was spine tingling. Money well spent that day. It honestly was awesome. 💙.
An an Australian who's played school sport against a Kiwi team, I can confirm the HAKA is extremely intimidating! They are some tough mothers! Proud to call them neighbors!

Lazy Fingers the USA has all the culture in the world. The issue is they consciously choose not to acknowledge it.
these dudes are too funny . lol is that a white guy .
I've only ever seen the Haka in rugby so seeing it in other sports too was fantastic. Great seeing the women doing it too.
So happy to see Field Hockey be included, ruch an underated sports, that performance sent chills down my spine
imagine if this was done in a spelling bee contest
Lol
The Haka + Ice hockey (5:42) = A MAD SCIENTIST WORST NIGHTMARE
If aliens ever decided to fuck with us, I would wish we had a Haka on the front lines... Showing them exactly who they're fucking with.
And after the haka is over the Kiwis would invite the aliens to the pub for some pints.
Mega Dan
Omg haha you cracked me up
m e g a _ d a n morons?
m e g a _ d a n yeahhh i like your comment
Amazing how this came from a war time and was used as a war chant to scare people off.. now it's used in rugby!!!
Exactly. The Haka is a "spiritual "war" chant. Its a Maori thing!!
3:30 The 'murricans looking like WTF? - Absolutely priceless
+Danilo Schöneberg thats because its in no way shape or form part of any sport here
+Danilo Schöneberg What is the name of this player?
+Bubbles Untrue, Hawaii's college football team does it. But yeah, certainly a strange site to US Basketball players
+RADU James Harden
+Bubbles That doesn't make it wrong......its just the way we do it.
I'll be honest, I didn't know indoor cricket was a sport...
Same
Ikr
Outdoor cricket is barely a sport
How is it barely a sport. It's the 2nd most popular in the world and more of a sport than most.
Depends on what you mean by most popular. In my opinion, being popular in one or two overpopulated countries in the world does not make it the second biggest sport in the World. I think one should account sports being the most widespread.
The only reason field hockey and cricket come high up on the list, is because they were dumped in India as the reject sports that they are by the Brits, whilst they went home and watched football instead.
Amazing tradition, love to watch this!
3:30 james harden: that's alot of fouls right there
"time for my illegal step backs just because you scared me."
Could you imagine the United States doing a Native American ritual? Bless up NZ.
No, I can already imagine the heated argument it would spawn. People being offended so easily.
Robert Paulson i lived in new zealand for 3 years and i am still amazed by amount of respect to cultural perservation.
we need to do one for every sport
his name....... was Robert Paulson.
Robert Paulson not the same AT ALL
This always brings a tear to me. The passion that these people show during Hakas is amazing. Much love for your culture. 👌🏼
This is taking pride in your nation and people to the extreme. No one else does this. I like this. Savage and dangerous war chanting makes things better. Intimidating your enemies.
SappingSpy I think tonga and Samoa do it in rugby union
This is pretty impressive, but ironically, there are a lot of accounts in history of battles between Romans and various barbarian tribes... in the earlier centuries when the Romans were more disciplined, they would spook their enemy by walking up on them without stopping and in complete silence. But then again, the psychology of combat it not exactly the same as sport.
It's done across the South Pacific. The Fijians responded with their own war dance in this video.
The Icelanders do a similar thing. in the football matches. Very vikingish
Mhmm back in the olden days the Maori tribes could be invaded easily so they preformed a "war dance" (Haka, yes it literally means war dance) to scare the invaders off. Aaaah I love Maori culture
I gotta start learning how to do this haka incase they try to cut me in line in the supermarket 🤪👅
I have HUGE adrenaline levels in my blood right now!
Exactly my dude
Not only did I enjoy this compilation, I learned about a whole new area of sports NZ participates in :)
I’m so proud of the wheel chaired rugby players
They done the Hama so well even when they were on a wheel chair
I’m completely willing to be wrong, please correct me if that’s the case... but I think the Haka before a sporting event is the closest approximation and example of true ancient warrior tradition of officially beginning a battle.
What a powerful and beautiful piece of Maori culture.
Respect 🙏🏻
We should have a Haka acceptance for the other teams to present! Each country doing their own war cry in honor and respect! And create a whole new tradtion for Rugbi and Sport! Not just for the sake of it but as a representation of what it is to be human!
+Richard Down naaaah lol
+Richard Down lol what?????
+Richard Down it would be nice. The problem is that not all countries have a cultural background in the same way New Zealand has. And some have it in a much bigger proportion. I mean, New Zealand have basically two different ethnic groups: the Maori and the European descendants. The Haka is cultural ritual from the Maori. In their case is easy. But take a country like mine, Brazil, which has hundreds of different native ethnicities, each one with their own roots, culture and traditions, some with great rivalries with others, plus the immigrants from all over the world, literally. If we would do something like that, at some point we would dishonor one tribe to honor other. And not only here. There are countries in Africa with thousands of aboriginal tribes, plus the european descendants. Imagine the problem they would have trying to do something like this? It's complicated, although I think it would be cool...
+Fagner Sousa Very well said, and I have to say though, with no disrespect, you have a very unfortunate name good sir. =P
+Shotgun Zombie I know. I even joke about it with my friends from other countries hahahaha But I must be thankful that in Portuguese, my native language, my name is completely normal :P
Strange how this (a 4 year old video) is being recommended just now, right after the New Zealand shooting.
*UA-cam* Hits blunt. Oh fuck thats right, this video exists
I can literally feel their power through my computer screen, goddamn
Same mate
Gay.
Local earth quake
For those of you unfamiliar with Haka, i highly suggest you look it up... this is one of the greatest traditions of all time
s a m p l e t e x t not
Should do this before a chess game
I get the chills every Haka this is the best thing ever wicked jealous of NZ.
Lots of love and respect for the worriers ~ Haka is awesome~
Btw, the all blacks' Haka is the best~ because of he all blacks, I started to watch rugby.
its kiwis worrioas is nrl
+Bradley Anderson ???
faze bradley its Vodafone NZ (Warriors)
What are they worrying about?
Un país que respeta las tradiciones ancestrales de sus pueblos originarios es digno de admiración
Chad kiwis uses intimidation.
It’s SUPER EFFECTIVE
some of the opponent definitely look confuse as to wdf just happened.
Onii-chan the basketball team looked confused af
That's a good thing. In historical time, Haka was also used to distract the opponent. I guess for the bigger and much scarier warriors to leap out and kill lol
The hong kong sevens in the pissing rain was awesome
The lacrosse one was extra terrifying with their sticks!
U have to be joking
Wonderful and beautiful compilation!
I think Haka one of best traditions in sports, even the best
Remembered seeing the Haka, last year in the RL world cup. New Zealand Vs Australia (Elland Road). And honestly was spine tingling. Money well spent that day. It honestly was awesome. 💙.
Huge respect to this culture. Not so many nations have it.
noob noob the Haka isn’t just a war dance but also a way of respect like in a funeral or welcoming a distinguished guests and also achievements
Man I bet that field hockey match was one to watch!
John G
Well then I’m glad you’re happy about it. I hope you’re defining Gay as being happy. Humanity deserve happiness all over.
1:31 I remember that they made a commercial with that haka, when Mexico played against New Zealand, towards the 2014 FIFA World Cup
