This is proof that you can store a lot of energy in a video and pass it on to people over and over again. Super guy! goose bumps

Now THAT'S a HAKA!!!

It’s this pride and acknowledgement of tradition and ancestry that keeps the All Blacks number one. So cool, wish Scotland had a call to arms like this.

I’m mesmerized. I’ve watched this 7 times now. I should be asleep.

Thats only 1 person preforming it... imagine a good couple hundred going it all at the same time. if the hairs on the back of your neck dont stand up on end u got issues XD

This is the best Haka I've seen online. You can see the pride and commitment in his eyes

A whole team like him, and the match is over before it even started. I always have the feeling that the ground is trembling when he's hitting it....and I'm seeing it via a screen, so in face to face :/

Funny how you see all these comments bad mouthing him... Think, you can't feel the true intimidating power of the haka through video. I'd like to see these people stand in front of this guy and keep their pants dry throughout.

Matt Ullrich I cant speak for others, but I felt this haka in an indescribable way. Still one of the most powerful experiences I’ve ever felt. I can’t even fathom what it would feel like to see it in person.

Love it, my brothers and sisters from the South Pacific are very intense and proud of their culture! Mahalo nui!!!!

If you've got Kees Meeuws, who's built like a brick schoolhouse, talking about the intense energy of Inia Maxwell's haka, it's probably a good idea to take note. Watching Maxwell do this demonstration gave me chills.

Been watching this shit for 9 years and get the same old goosebumps

Sent chills down this Aussie spine... AWESOME !!!

Yes! I come from a military family and my son is in the Marine Corps and is a black belt and a black belt teacher. And this warrior spirit is what drew me to the Haka. I understand this spirit. I crave the energy of this spirit. To me this is the spirit that you need to have success, true success, in your life’s journey.

Is it insensitive, or cultural appropriation to pay respects in that way or use that to Honor that tradition by doing a haka as a white person? I have some Indian in me, and Irish, No ties to these tribes but I’m so moved, I would love to learn the haka as a way to pay respects for what it is and Represents

I have replayed this like 5 times already cant get enough of it !

I always have a bit of a cry when I watch this. It is a wonderous thing.

Man, imagine how epic the haka would be if you had as many guys who are as passionate and knowledgeable about the haka as this guy.

Some people missed the point, the Haka is a ceremonial throw-down, the fact that this "little man" could demonstrate his imposing warrior spirit to the massive players, tells the tale of all those that came bofore him, very very impressive,

Now that's a Haka. This guy's intensity gave me such an adrenaline rush, I wish I was there to do the Haka with him.

Gives me goosebumps!

I’d say the ancestors jumped in with him on that one. How could they not here this man

Thats one of the best Haka's I've ever seen. Wish it had pulled back the camera a little more during his actual demonstration. Its a whole-body experience lol.

wew the camera's movin' while he's stompin' his feet

That's awesome. Too few people have forgotten the value of traditions like this. The connection it creates among a group who have learned to perform it together takes the military kinship a step further. Go to war with those you've trained to fight with and you'll do better than with no training or by training separately, but train to fight together and then train to perform something like a haka together and there's an additional bond that the other side may not have.

I heard that some of us doesn't have a culture so it's hard to keep connected to it. ;)

Love the Haka. Always impresses me. Love the laying down of the Challenge. Very inspiring.

Hi - I am a 60 yr old american woman and I have wartched haka off and on for a long while and I dearly love the intensity and the determination and the I am going to kick your butt of the ceremony - I would love to see this taught in - of all places - a senior citizen's center because as an older american woman we are kinda not very highly prized in our country - and I think it would be like teaching older people that we are not near death and we are not going to take it any longer

Hi guys. Can someone tell me what Inia says between 'Waewae takahia kia kino' and 'ka mate, ka mate etc'? Nothing but respect for this guy. The passion and commitment is amazing. Great Haka!!

It gave me chills. Amazing.

This guy at the end just blew me away. This is definitely a rock solid outstanding video.

This guy is a beast. Much respect brother!

Yeah, that's how you show a dance - JUST FACE! 😀Well done, Mr.Cameraman.

Gives me chills! Love it.

fantastic! gave me the chills too!

Far out, even on the internet you feel that aura. That would be a total force in real life.

Ringa ringa pakia Waewae takahia kia kino whai ake kino whai ake Ka Mate! Ka Mate! Ka Ora! Ka Ora! Ka Mate! Ka Mate! Ka Ora! Ka Ora! Tenei te ta ngata puhuru huru Nana nei i tiki mai Whakawhiti te ra A upane ka upane! A upane kaupane whiti te ra! Hi!!

How cool was that! 🤘

That just made my fucking day. AWESOMENESS IN IT'S PUREST FORM!!!

I get chills every time I look at this

amazing.. what energy !!

Awesome explanation. Respect.

the chant isn't to intimidate the opponents its to hype themselves... be fearless, have no mercy unless forgiven, give them your all and not be forgotten

he is fucking shaking the whole world with his haka and warning us...now i get the reason behind sudden rise of earthquakes...RESPECT

As an Aussie I have seen many Hakas performed by Various Kiwi teams. I have to say that guy would have to have been the best I have seen ...... ever. That was pure passion.

This video helped me perfect my Haka so I could teach it to my team, we do it a bit faster, but it was a great help!

This is brilliantly funny! Gotta use this...!

All Blacks needs this guy!

waw beautiful dance really he did very well.... it's very special... and the maori culture should be full of amazing things

Just unbelievable....

Awesome!!

I came for the thumbnail and for the first time on youtube, I wasn't disappointed. ;)

it's quite awesome!!

amazing haka, looks like he's suddenly possessed by some strong spirit!

To me it doesn't look like possessed, but rather like a direct connection to the ancient source.

have you got the full documentary on this video? i really wanna watch it again, saw it on air new zealand

Chills. I watch this when I need a picc me up for the gym.

Awesome!

I wish the Welsh had a haka. ogi ogi ogi is not quite the same. Respect.

Great!

Traveled to NZ 12 years ago and visited a Maori demonstration village, face to face it's such a awesome experience, I couldn't break eye contact with one of the fellas doing it, if we do have a soul he was honestly looking right into it.

WOW! Really impressive!!!!

Goosebumps everytime I watch this

lindo lindo lindo! ele faz com tanto orgulho! será que pras mulheres a dança é outra?

Awesome bro

when i m alone, i become a spartan when i will see this guy, i'll become usian bolt and say '' help me plz, help me plzzz ''

respect from australia

Fantastic! It's like he's possessed! Wow!

The biggest thing I notice with his Ka Mate is the Speed. Now if only the AB did it like he does...

Super ,Great ,love it, HAKA is WHOW!!!!!!!!!

So damn cool!

Love it goosebumps

Almost thought it was a bit over exaggeration until he begun the haka... Goose bumps too mate

he made his ancestors proud

This is what a trance looks like.

This is tradition adapted by tribes, I for can say that, any form of intimidation or battle cry to help bolster ones or an entire community at war is beneficial. Speaking as a 10 year US Army Infantryman with a specialization of Ranger, deployed twice in Iraq and 3x in Afghanistan, anything to help build up that adrenaline and courage to get that extra kick to drive on is great! I don't follow rugby much but since I've stumbled onto the All Blacks Haka, seems as though these backwards tribesmen.

Every time he stomps, the camera shook. I would probably shit bricks.

Whoa, the camera is shaking! He's ACTUALLY making the ground shake!

can someone tell me the title of the full documentary. i would love to watch it but can`t find it. thx a lot!!!

RIGHT UP THERE!!!

thank you wiki

SCARY, CRAZY AND COOL!!

RESPECT BRO !!!!

OMG AMAZING !!!

Absolutely Awesome.....and it would have to be to impress Kees Meeuws ;-)

I really love this chanting ritual kind of thing, and I might even do something similar before workout to raise testosterone levels but, I gotta be honest, as awesome as that guy is, his facial expression made me almost cry of laughter.

i'm suprised the all blacks make it out of his demonstration alive!

While he was stomping his feet the camera was like shaking a bit and I was like.. 'Wow, this guy is scary'

I'm really really tempted to learn this for my Political Science class

i want to learn how to do the haka so badly. where can i go to learn it, i live in indiana but cant find anyone who teaches it so i think i may be limited to learning it via the web

He scared me so much

the title of the documentary is what exactly? where does this come from? I can't find the doc on you tube

Trust me when I tell you it is very different in person. I know this both from being a part of a kapahaka group and from encountering people who will perform a haka in the middle of the street. There is very little scarier then sitting in the park at night and hearing a group of men performing a haka, as their cries grow louder and louder around you.

WOW I WASN'T EXPECTING TO SEE THAT HE WAS GOOD '

Wow

I die I die, I live I live. This is the hairy man who fetched the Sun and caused it to shine again

Absolut genial der Typ!!!

Thing is though if one guy started doing it in a pub in NZ, they'd probably all join in and nobody would hear you laugh!

(speechless...)

I liked the derp face in the thumbnail.

Mind you I’m Puerto Rican but every time I see this man perform this haka I cry as I do it mind you my grandpa has Polynesian blood in him from his mom but never can find her history.

speechless

respect

Now thats how a haka is done.. Man(or Girl) if you want to get more views on this video, add more ' Tags: ' and change the title of the video. Because the quality of this clip is really good. (Potential of a lot more views). NIce video and thanks. Been looking for this, for a long time.

There are many many haka each recording historical accounts or cultural knowledge of that specific tribe.
