If we go to war against some aliens this better be our battle cry
MAKE THE GROUND SHAKE
+josh hatch they aliens would then rule
+josh hatch ISIS noobs would shit their pants if they would hear that from the other side of the front line ...even if most of them are kids in this video very impressiv .... I just love the power haka gives... all the best from Germany
+nagmashot reason why the "isis noobs" are so succsessful - is because on the other side people still believe in clear "frontlines". But i agree, the haka is magic
zoolkhan the only reason why ISIS is successfull is because they mainly fight vs pussys of iraqe army or civil people with no weapons... just look at the ISIS success of capture Mosul... less than 1000 ISIS stormed the city and 30.000 fully equipped Iraqe Army soldiers fleed like fucking pussys ..if they would have at least little balls they would have stoped the attack in 2 hours killing all ISIS ... but they prefered to run like rabbits ... If ISIS face serious enemy like Peschmerga or Kurds they get into serious trouble even if they outnumber them and are better equipped (with capptured iraqe Army equipment). If any modern Army like russian, US, UK, Israel etc would stand up and fight against them it would be a quick and bloody finish for ISIS... the only reason why ISIS never attack Israel is, they know that Israel would completely whipp them from earth if they realy attack Israel homeland.
just imagine the power of a ancient haka on a battlefield with thousands of people!
You'd all get shot, aha
Jake Adkin Dude you're not using your imagination! If it was an ancient Haka there would be no guns since it's ancient. Lol
Jake Adkin By a spear or a carved out mineral of some sort?
Lusiano Vaifale mineral water
Jake Adkin Actually no, wars were respectful and honourable back then.
I really shouldn't watch haka's before sleeping. I get too much energy. xD
Jochem M Multiple haka is still just haka because their is no s in the maori language
Hayley Ward I see. Thanks for the info.
Jochem M Don't you just hate a technical twit?
Jochem M lmao.. so true...
+Jochem M , HOw about watching haka before sex?
As an Englishman, you simply have to stand back and admire the passion of rugby over in New Zealand.
+Billy Mulligan If only we had that passion in England.... Instead everyone is watching some shitty disrespectful pussy sport like football/soccer where professionals don't actually act or play like professionals. What's worse is that managers are no different and referees don't have any balls to be brutally honest with players.
Football: A gentleman's game, played by thugs. Rugby: A thugs game, played by gentleman.
Billy Mulligan Pretty much
Olly DaMan eyy footballs nice too sometimes
Good to see we are still raising men somewhere
Are they real men because they can scream real hard and slap their chest?
+piet vink dont be dumb. the haka isnt about slapping chests and screaming.
+piet vink are you mad?
+Midnyt yep. after the haka, they all build fires
+piet vink Yes, and it made their battle opponents shit bricks
makes me wish that I was a New Zealander so that I could get to perform the haka
You can as long as you put the effort and emotion into it. :) check out the maoris in Australia doing the flash mob hakas they are awesome
am aussie, still did it lol
lol nice one haha
Eratiik yep, was for a rugby match in back in high school. We had a trimester of sport where we did a war cry each game. Would alternate from Aborigine to Maori cause we had a NZ guy on our team. Was so much fun!
It sounds insensitive/offensive to say it like that, but I completely agree. What an amazing and breathtaking culture. I normally wouldn't generalise, but I have never met a Maori I didn't like. Great, loving and welcoming people. -Australia.
I am not Maori, but I am of Samoan descent but born and bred in New Zealand as are alot of us! However, we are all Kiwi and the pride and respect in which we have in our country culture makes me so proud. Traditions that were carried on through school (school haka's etc) to cultural gatherings (ie Poly Fest).. there is no other country I would want to bring my kids up in.. we have all the riches right here in our own backyard :)
Great comment
Other than a fruit, what is a Kiwi in this context?
Kelli Smith a New Zealander ☺
Kelli Smith for a bit of useless trivia, our soldiers in world war one got nicknamed kiwis after a shoe polish they used that sported the kiwi bird as its emblem by other Nation's soldiers. So we became known as Kiwis instead of NZers. Kiwi the bird is flightless with shaggy brown feathers so kiwi fruit were named after it due to its similar appearance. I always get asked why I call myself a fruit by foreigners online, so I checked up the origin of our nickname lol.
Beautifully said sis
According to legends opponents from the Maori warriors from centuries ago are still shitting in their graves.
+Clappet Nilwob whats the problem, im from NZ and im shitting myself laughing at this
+Smonjirez They're actually enjoying a free island with a bunch of nice resources :)
what bitch
+Timothy Lieuw ^^^ Thats tops haha
+Smonjirez lol...That is very funny
The fact that this war dance survived all these generations and battles, already implies the warriors won all their battles
Aliens, watch this before you ever think of attacking our planet.
Aren't these aliens?
+Anco Veenstra what?
+Anco Veenstra WTF naive idiot!
+Anco Veenstra He eikel,
aliens love youtubing
Just a warning, don't take acid and watch haka videos unless you want to be transported to a dimension of pain and brutality.
+David Hopwood I wish I had read this earlier

You weren’t tripping, you were getting stomped.

When you gotta go to war but stop by burger king first
Bro, that’s such a deep in joke. Only Kings College students would understand the meaning.
Only took 4 years I guess.
@@leakifolog bruh straight up. Came here to say that
Someone explain
@@jemarpa3600 If you look closely when the second school responds, a number of students are wearing those paper Burger King hats. It brings it all back to reality. Warriors gotta eat!
And the world wonders why Nz rugby is so advanced.... Respect and unity- Beautiful.
The first set of Haka sounds more threatening. TBH
There's a second verse that literally translates to "we'll eat your body and soul" i believe - Ex Auckland Boys Grammar student
I absolutely love NZ's integration of native culture into daily live and sports ! You are a very awesome proud sportive Nation. Greeting from Canada Mark
0815Mark ,long leave Canada. I'm from New Zealand & your land & people are very similar to our land snow.l,lakes,elks,deer, but no bear or beaver,eagles.. But out culture with the first Nation are the same..I have been there.. Vancouver British Colombia.. Love Canada always.
@@issysaro7792 Oi we got beaver here hehe
NZ have this shit on lock. Look at the diversity, the unity, the people. It goes to show unity can be obtained amongst the people of this world! New Zealand has got this to an art.
Fun fact: It all starts at home, discipline from the moms. Im sure you already know this lmao
I can see in some of their faces that its true love and passion for this tradition. Its just a handful of them that aren't taking it seriously but the ones that are, are ALL IN. Fucking love the passion! I now watch Haka to get hype in the morning, before I study, or skate. It brings up emotions that I never usually comes up.
Easy to point out who IS the culture...MANA
Man the sound in this is amazing. All that hissing really adds to the atmosphere
If Earth was ever invaded..... whole world Haka XD the ground would freaking crack XD
Let's Go!
Hahahahahaha
+Nathanael The Aussie and then earth was sold for blankets and muskets -.-
ntwa dumela i did say if EARTH was ever invaded lol aliens probably wouldn't even know what muskets are :P There would either be a giant 'WTF' moment or 'SHIT RUN!!!'
+Nathanael The Aussie the only reason aliens havent invaded is because of the HAKA!
Here in England we have morris dancing.
lol
+Kenazzle yeah because you know they sold their land for blankets and muskets right after, must be so satisfying
+Kenazzle Yes you do....when I visited England for the first time I stumbled upon some morris dancers...my first thought was WTF????????????...
I still think that and if live in England
+damir huselja ahahaha
The white guy at 3:32 so friggin awesome....feeling it!!! I love how diverse NZ is!!! So amazing!!!
He a Maori in heart my bro youd be surprised how many there are in Aotearoa lol
Only in NZ, ain't nothing like this anywhere else in the sporting world. This aspect of Maori culture gives NZ sporting culture its uniqueness internationally. Long live the Haka!
I get emotional when watching Haka performances.
its amazing how a country can come together and embrace its cultural heritage and truly engrain it amongst its youth...much respect NZ
im not new zealander but this stuff is so awesome i have so much respect for this tradition and culture of honor and respect
I think haka is a beautiful way to show the world the maori culture, thank you New Zealand for sharing with us such a powerfull root.
Every time I see the haka, it makes me feel proud to be a Kiwi and a Polynesian. Well done AGS and Kings, superb hakas.
respect from México!!!! great Hakaaa!
A culture that speaks to my soul
Try being an Aussie facing one when you're called up from the 3rd XV to play off the bench for the 1sts at Sourthern Skies and the Kiwi team, parent's and friends break into a haka after the handshakes and before kick off. Pretty much you think "whelp next 90 mins or so will result in a broken rib or 5 and a handshake afterwards". Still gotta do it though, wonderful thing.
gnarkillkicksass but you still gotta do it - that's the perfect response to the haka - let's get it on!
I'm Scottish through n through.....FREEDOM ......but if not I'd be a Maori... I love the fact u display u feelings for ur culture and country .... God bless you all
I love that the UK and New Zealand have such a close history and friendship! Love your country as much as I love mine. Love when New Zealand play rugby and love watching the haka
Liam Stallard I now appoint you relations minister of the world.
I second that.
Morgasm172 nope, Maori are still the true owners of aotearoa
Morgasm172 they just govern the country, so basically they just try to tell us what to do but our natives are too defined for them
Morgasm172 uh no sorry says the one who had to make a treaty because we killed you off 🤟
good to see mixtures in the crowd, Chinese, muslims, pakeha indians, Its great to see all cultures coming together in one chant.
More like the inner warrior in every human just takes control for a short amount of time
As a Maori well said
My parents immigrated from The UK to NZ when I was 2 yrs old. Our 1st neighbours (still our family/friends today after a lifetime) were Maori. All my life I have been grateful to grow up in NZ, I travelled the world extensively & after 10 yrs in the US & the birth of our 1st son, I had to return to Kiwi land to do the same for my children. There is nowhere on the planet where you can truly grow up colour blind to another's skin shade like you can in NZ. That's its best quality :)
@@madamelebuff how i wish to be in new zealand and grew up there
It’s inspiring. No race, just one people. The absolute best start to any competition ever. You could do this at a fucking spelling bee and inspire your side. Excellent.
One of the best Haka I've ever seen ... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much , Jürgen
i really love to see that so many new zealanders of different racial backgrounds are representing kiwi or maori traditions, i can see so much pride in their eyes. its so awesome!
The Polynesian culture brings two powerfully beautiful practices to the world: Haka and Ho'oponopono. Both move me to tears.
Haka is Maori.
@@foamyone101 maori are Polynesian are they not?
This shit brings out a fucking primal chill down my back, imagine this before a battle for real. You'd be so fired up to fight and the enemy would be shaking in their boots.
They should all be so proud of themselves!! Insane..
This is a beautiful thing to watch and I may be from England but I love watching the haka
Leader of Auckland Grammar Is On 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The Haka is literally my favorite cultural tradition ever. Beautiful and intimidating are not words that usually go well together...
An intense cultural celebration depicting the Maori Warriors prior to engaging their opponents in battle! Beautiful to se the bravery displayed! Us Cubans would never engage in such a celebration, we would have to, prior to the first pitch, have a couple of chilled “Tropicals” and dance some Salsa to the beat of “The VanVans!” ¡Viva Cuba Libre!0
MASSIVE, MASSIVE,MASSIVE RESPECT
Lmao the guy with the burger king crown at 3:14
I scrolled the comments to see if anyone has caught those few guys with the bk crowns
Hahahaha fucking LADS!
It's bcoz the school is called Kings college. So yeab that's why the wear them bk crowns
Lol
they back at it again
wow....i hv never seen something like this....soo unique and amazing culture......i really loved it love and respest to haka...from INDIA
Im from SA and watching these schools do there haka's is bone chilling its amazing
The power of one voice can lead a whole army
To explain why this is so effective, let me give you an example: I'm from Sweden. Sweden *literally* has a term for how we *hate* taking up space- or being a inconvience. We're so hellbent on being "just average enough" that using our flag outside of sports-events is considered borderline racist. So here I was, a Swede, doing my military service. At the end of the first tought day we'd line up in the hallway, 48 strangers infront of our Captain. Then we'd sing the national anthem. Now, most of the EU rarely- if ever sing the national anthem. But here, in this cramped and silly hallway we were. 48 strangers, but each one could *feel* the vibration of the song. The tone. The tunes verbating through us all. The hairs in my neck stood on end. As did my lower arms hair. Hell, I'm pretty sure every godamn folicle on my body was at stand. I'm a staunch individualist but I will admit I've never felt that sense of belonging. The HAKA is a perfection of this. Pure, unbriedeled energy galvanized by the amount of participants. I'm happy for those young people, to be able to partake in that and feel that sensation. It helps in understanding why people feel- and act as they do in such situations.

It's electric !!! We should have something like this for schools in England ! Real togetherness, going to battle together ! F?&@ing love it !!!!!
Anthony Kelly go back to those Celtic/Angle-Saxon roots.
Huge respect from Squamish, BC
this feels like two tribes before a fight, its amazing how chilling to the bones it is! really awsome!
props to the boys for the spirit and commitment to it, but hakas in ties, blazers and school caps just seems weird to me
Just known as Cultural Clash
Gotta admit, it's the burger king crowns that's really getting to me..
Right! I was thinking if some preppy ass rich kid that mommy and daddy sent to a good college tried to do a haka at me in hopes that it might frighten me. I would staple his nose to the back of his throat. Also sticking the tongue out is signifying cannibalism and it means "I'm going to turn you into my shit." Given that half of them survive off of starbucks and PF Chang is just another signification that you are not frightening anyone.
Oh sorry Henry Rollins is here everyone!
so coming from a family that is successful or has money means you can't be tough? clearly tough enough to do better in life though. good on you for judging a bunch of people you don't know
Almost had me in tears...
The haka is an ancient war dance and one of the most badass things ever.
I'm crying right now, not because this sheet is beautiful but i've literally spent an hour and 30 minutes watching Haka videos on youtube instead of doing my classwork
hahaha what a joker
@@Splitaxiz Dreamer
This gave me chills I love it x
greetings from Sydney massive respect boys (y)
This is pure respect ............!!! Thank you so much , Jürgen
This is the dopest tradition I've seen.
Fun fact: preforming the haka increases testosterone by 9000%
When that happens you don't care about your life you don't even think about it you just go hard lol
BRING IT ON ARRRGGGHHHH. NO FEAAAAR - my mind while watching the haka
This culture will never die !

well done - from the usa
my pup watched this and he wants to fight all the big dogs in the neighbourhood
