The Haka is a traditional Maori dance. The Haka was originally a combination of dance and chanting that was performed by Maori warriors before the went to battle. Nowadays the Haka is mainly performed for amusement or ceremoniously: a welcome for important guests or to commemorate an important day or event. The All Black's(New Zealands Rugby team) perform it to scare opposition when they are about to start their match.

The Haka is a challenge. it is a display of dexterity and agility that is used to instill fear in the opponent. the haka is never preformed for amusement. it is still used to this day in sports to lay out the challenge to the other team.

The Haka is generally done in a large group, one should probably have at least three people. But, the more the better. The Haka is done in Maori The Haka can be mixed and recreated as much as you want. Yell as loud as you can, it is an war cry Flex your muscles and put on a menacing face. Make sure your body movements are swift and aggressive. Let someone know that you're doing it. If you start yelling and beating your chest at someone walking down the street you could get in trouble.

Well the haka , is a war dance . You have to put alot of power into the moves you do , when you are doing the hakait is not to be played around with . the haka was a death tool , this dance was used in battles to intimidate their enemy.You have to show throughout your moves ,that your putting all your strength into it .You have to show that you are strong , very powerful and you have no intention of being nice. Your expressions need to be strong and scary , your arms,legs and whole body needs to be energetic as if you are putting all your energy into every part of your body and releasing it into peoples faces . The energy around you has to be strong , you shall know when your doing the haka properly because people around you should feel intimidated and scared.

Ka mate, ka mate

Ka ora, ka ora

Tenei te tangata puhuruhuru

Nana i tiki mai whakawhiti te ra

Upane, upane

Upane kaupane

Whiti te ra.

These words are translated as:

It is death, it is death

It is life, it is life

This is the hairy man

Who caused the sun to shine again for me

Up the ladder, up the ladder

Up to the top

The sun shines.

One can watch the Haka in New Zealand when they go to see an All Blacks game. This is a performance of a dance ritual before a rugby game. They can also watch Maori tribes perform it.
