Find out all about the New Zealand Haka right here.
The New Zealand Haka is a traditional Maori chant. It can be performed for various reasons, such as a greeting, as a challenge to an opponent, or purely for entertainment. There are various forms of the Haka, including the tutu, the whakatu waewae, and the peruperu. The Haka is normally performed by a group, and usually involves loud chanting, exagerated facial expressions, and slapping of hands against various parts of the body. It is used extensively at Maori functions and before sporting events, usually by the national team. Probably the most recognised form of the Haka is performed by the New Zealand All Blacks rugby team, who vigorously perform it before every match, as a challenge to their opponents.
