The Maori Haka - The Timatanga

After witnessing the pathetic attempt of one My-Kart member (hehe) to do the Haka, here is the video of how to do a proper haka. Girls will love this video........

The haka performed is different from the normal All Blacks haka. It's the Timatanga performed by the NZ Maori rugby team. Although it's only NZ's 3rd team (sort of), the NZ Maori plays with a lot pride, and rarely gets beaten even against top tier national team. Last year they famously beat the British Lions in NZ.

The topless muscle meat is Hose Gear, brother of Rico Gear who is the All Blacks winger.

The words of the Timatanga :

I te timatanga
Ko te Kore
Ko te po nui
Ko te po roa
Wehenga Matua
Herenga Tangata
He toa Rangatahi
He toa Rangatira
Whakaki te Maunga
Tae ki te Whenua
Hoki ki te Rangi
Tae ki te Pukerunga
Piki ake piki ake
Ki te ara Poutama
Ki nga Taumatatanga e
Wairua Hinengaro Tinana

Translation :

In the beginning
there was nothing
the big darkness
the long darkness
the separation of Rangi and Papa
formed man/people
formation of young warriors
formation of young chiefs
if you aim for the mountains
you will hit the plains
if you aim for the sky
you will hit the mountain peaks
climb up, thrive
to the pathway of knowledge
to achieve excellence
spiritually, mentally, physically

Normally the haka will start off with a despairing picture, like kart mati, and end on a high note. I will think of something Eye

I think she is referring to the exposure of the roast beef and the 6-pack.....

Azlan, which All Blacks jersey do you have? I have a really old Steinlager one, the NZ Sevens one and an older Adidas one, all with the number 7 at the back.....
