yaffle posted:The guy he's lifting is probably 6 foot+ and 250 pounds, I like the smile on the guy behind him when he realizes who's going on, those are some strong shorts. That guy in Anton Bressler who is 6'6" and 260lbs but this is not the only time Tendai Mtawarira did this, he also held Eben Etzebeth above his head who more like 270lbs and 6'8". There's a reason he's called The Beast. He's also pretty quick on his feet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKKF9d9j-Mg So Tendai is 116kg and Chrysander Botha here is more like 78kg, textbook tackle right there. Also Hakas are cool, Tonga and Samoa have really great Hakas as well.

GuardianOfAsgaard posted:If you don't think this is the coolest poo poo ever I don't know what to tell you: This one in particular is great. The team performing the haka, the Waikato Chiefs, went on to win. Their opposition was the national team of Wales. I can't think of a great analogy for this, but this is a small-ish provincial team beating a national side. Actually they demolished them. As a Kiwi, I think the haka is great, no matter the context. It's a key way of getting pakeha (European descended Kiwi's) to acknowledge and participate in Maori culture. Our nation has shameful history of marginalising and destroying Maori culture and this is a move in the other direction.

To me a Haka shows teamwork, unity, coordination, planning, dedication and in the case of facing an opponent intimidation and courage. That's why I think they're badass and I posted it here.Nastyman posted:just avoid anything that's not from my native culture? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VVIhBBOelM This. this is dumb.

Tardigrades have survived exposure to outer space.[12][13] About 1,300 known species[14] form the phylum Tardigrada, a part of the superphylum Ecdysozoa.

We have taken traditional dancing and turned it into competative hopping https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCibA4BD20s Not so be confused with Scottish Country dancing which just getting as drunk as possible and running into each other in a loosely coordinated shambles. We do have Sword Dancing which sounds like it might be Badass until you learn they lay the swords on the ground

And Tanhu as a folk dance. "You should at least try everything once, except blood relatives and Tanhu" indeed.

I don't know why but seeing the ladies doing the haka is pretty frightening. I guess you expect brutality and ruthlessness from heavily muscled sports-geared-up men, but seeing a woman with buggy eyes and serious frowning is a sign you done messed the gently caress up and you're going to hear about it. Much more intimidating coming from someone with wicked aim with a chancla. I like the phrase "competitive hopping," it's cute. A friend calls rugby "professional shoving."

Idk if it counts as badass enough for the thread but there's a video out there of a wedding haka that reduces me to tears every time and I'm not really a wedding crier even when it's someone I know getting married. Hakas are raw and powerful and emotional in a way we're taught to find embarrassing and shameful; and the correct response to that is to examine your kneejerk distate for seeing humans doing something so quintessentially and fundamentally human and get over yourself, not diminish the haka to soothe your discomfort.

This is the wedding one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUbx-AcDgXo It just fucks me up every time. Maybe worth noting that iirc the groom and bride are both Maori as I see a lot of people thinking it's the bride's family performing a haka at the groom: it's actually the groomsmen performing a haka at both of them, as a surprise/gift.

The haka is fine, it's just over exposed online now. "15 Times the Haka Had Us Shook!" Having to stand there while the opponent does this is stupid too.
