Haka-Sr.2-Apr.8

The Haka: What it means and how it's performed
All Blacks, the New Zealand national rugby union team, does something very intriguing before their games. Stomping their feet, pumping their fists, and staining their vocal chords, all in unison. The Haka is a ceremonial dance or challenge in Maori culture. War Haka was originally performed by Maori warriors before a battle to displaying their strength to intimidate the opponent. Various versions of Haka are now performed by men, women and even children to welcome guests, to acknowledge achievements, or to show a sign of respect and unity in special occasions including funerals. Recently, Haka was performed in many places in New Zealand to mourn the victims of the mass shooting in Christchurch.

Haka seems not only to boil the blood of the performers but also appeal to the heart of onlookers.
