Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Not many I would be afraid of, but these guys, Sikhs and Gurkhas might cause me to reconsider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would definitely have a “very healthy respect” for all three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocWard Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I know it's been shown before, but whenever the word "haka" comes to mind, I can't help but think of this one. Maybe it's the soldier and warrior in me, but I can't help but choke up watching it. I can't think of a better way to send off a fallen comrade. Or to be sent off, to be honest.

Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Impressive, watched on the glowing screen. Intimidating as hell, seen in person! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one was weird to me. The Maori were cannibals. When I first learned about Haka they said that the individual movements meant something. In particular anything with the tongue was indicating that they were going to dine on your corpse and steal your power. So at a funeral it was weird.

Cyrus Cassidy #45437 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I've always appreciated this one. These soldiers from New Zealand are doing a haka to honor one of their comrades who died in Afghanistan: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
