Who was the stunt coordinator for this scene ?
Can anyone list out the parts he named for me I couldn't hear the best thanks 😅
this episode was the best and most realistic. others were meh
bem que o Mel Gibson poderia dirigir algum filme de guerreiros maori pq se ele fez aquele Apocalypto dos guerreiros astecas daquele jeito e é um sucesso atemporal imagine oq ele faria com um filme sobre os maori
Papa
although not really recorded, my mothers lineage had there own special weapon, it was called a "widows knife" apparently historically her lineage believed that if you proposed to a widow she had the right to fight you for the right to refuse, and they had a special knife to fight with edit: the knife was a curved knife, with a single edged sickle blade with the blade sharpened on the outside of the sickle instead of inside, the purpose was using a basic idea of hook there arm with the blunt hook part and lock there arm with a twist, then pull down to bend them far enough to wuickly raise the blade away from there arm and slash the throat, the practise died out 200 years ago, but the knives are still presented to widows of the same lineage

Im part maori and im very proud of my culture ive been told of stories in modern times of how hard the training is that im not permitted to speak of in times not so long ago a Maori warrior was a fearless fighting machine who could fight day and night for days on end the agility strength and skill level required would have been so high anything less and you would most likely have been killed by the person training you
Wow really want to watch this!
Man howcome yous took season 1 off tvnz? Ive recently got my whanau into it bit they cant find season 1, anyway Ive seen it and this is one of the best shows/film I've seen about our ancestors. Looking forward to season 3
Absolutely fantastic! Superb to see correct hold and usage too. Personally I love these for history, the spirit of it, shape and how convenient it is to transport when needed. Although similar to the Hawaiian ones I've seen that I chided shark teeth, this will always be my favourite. Great upload. Earned a new subscriber
Greetings brothers and sisters from Crete island Chania state Mediterranean sea ❤❤❤
Kia ora to our whānau/ Family of Crete. Our history is one of true heart.
Tena koe ehoa ko teawhimai take ingot I choose to perform te patu akuanei to for show my hmm my event of security in a way I feel is comfortable for me. Cud u make time before the end of next wk to answer me. My question is I need to use tw😢of yr warriors akuanei in a 2 mate spell performance on the 16th of September. No reira ma te WA. Teawhimai ahau.
He taonga he taonga tuku iho.
The short weapons, =Patu, Mere or Wahaika, required 😢some serious skills in welding these types of weaponry. Much harder to use than is shown in these fight scenes. Both exponents are Masters in their own rights.
I'm here because I heard stories of a thrusting club. The premise is so crazy to me, but I gotta admit, that looks like it does its job well.
Could it would be effective self defense weapon in street fight
I like spears the taiaha is so cool
Gur
The wahika It's used the same way
I am fram india ..is this pepuls chainees?
MĀORI from NewZealand
@@jamesgreig2842 NewZealand is in amrika?
@@gaarn2672new zealand is its own island, we once ruled your county
awesome sir,
Would you say that wahaika typically had feathers on the end of the lanyard? I’m wondering if the same distraction technique demonstrated with this patu would have been used with a wahika.
I rather get shot than get hit by that thing
Wouldn't it be more useful if the taiaha were pointed at both ends?
Maybe, it was mostly a fighting staff weapon, one end used for stabbing, well the other was used for bashing, but we do have double pointed weapon called the Tao.
@@Toatekaha i love polynesian culture, greetings 👍👋❤
No, it's for breaking bone's and cracking skulls.. I heard a story about a red coat soilder boasting he could best any maori warrior with a rifle and bayonet, may have been a sword I can't remember anyway an old maori man challenged him with a taiaha and bested him in seconds.
@@zanedickson2725 wow 💪😎
Yeah was a sword also didn't respect the age of the warrior many maori warriors died young if you lived to see old age you considered very good warrior
Wouldn't it be more useful if the taiaha were pointed at both ends?
Its more a weighted quarter staff roughly foot to chin in length. The blade end is weighted slightly giving it more power behind any swing, chop or thrust. The "spear" shaped end is for slashing & quick jabs into vitals. It's not handled like long staff/pole
Think of a wooden two handed sword.
How do we watch Series 1 all episodes in Australia? I watched season 2 on Maori+ app and i LOVE this show but can't watch season 1 on the app. This series of our tepuna living the way it was in the day is like stepping back in time. I am addicted to this program and hanging to see the 1st series and cant wait for episode 5 in 2nd series 🫶
Only season 2 is available on māori+, but season 1 should be available on tvnz+. Not sure if you can get that in oz thought :(
Beautiful!!
Why is this weapon not pointed?
It was used to break bones, or split heads open, used by only the most deadliest of worriers
Because it's is not a knife but more for striking and distraction it took and still does take the most lethal of warrior to yield it, unlike the Taiaha it does not leave your hand
@@BigRedRicketts Yes it does. You could throw the patu & retract it. It has a far more agile striking range than a taiaha.
Te ihi! Te wehi! Te wana!
Came here after Book of Boba Fett eps 2
I’m curious why they didn’t edge the Taiaha with obsidian or something?
Probably because most Taiaha would have been made from Kauri which is hard as fuck wood. Still gonna split skulls with ease, without the added fuss of edging obsidian into the weapon.
@@aanton1360 I didn’t know there was anything notable about the type of wood. Thanks for the info! :) But the taiaha already had a stabbing section, the “tongue” of the weapon. Wouldn’t it have been more effective to give that a sharper, volcanic-glass/something-similar edging?
@@randomname1251 some taiaha, would have a greenstone (New Zealand’s name for Jade) tongue, the greenstone tongue is much easier to stab through someone
Traditionally Taiaha were not killing weapons. The initial part of the warparty would approach, fight with taiaha and slash and stab leaving wounded enemies on the ground before moving on. Then, a second wave would approach usually with patu (short clubs) made of obsidian, or basalt, or pounamu or hardened wood, and finish off the wounded enemies with quick blows to the back of the skull or the temple. Those were the killing weapons. Taiaha were meant to break, they were meant to be used, adding an obsidian edge would have probably been too much time and effort that would have been wasted.
Rau uto
Is the taiaha like a sword and short spear combined?
It's a staff.
It’s just how our weapons were, taiaha have killed hundreds of thousands
More of a fighting staff
The ātē (ah-teh) pronounced is a blade which is for striking and thrusting the (Tinana) mid section is for holding, and also blocking, the (arero) (ah-dde-ddo) pronounced is also a spear head but not for throwing it's to thrust only so it's not a spear that you throw but only thrusting and striking
Closer to an English quarter staff
Awesome brothers 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
kia ora matua, im a maori ronin, i have been practicing wielding and carrying my new patu every day now, the more i do so the more i find i gain knowldage in my patu. his name is Kaha :)
so coooooool
Respect, you guys have a great martial culture. Thank you for sharing some of it with us.
I got a taiaha its a wooden katana turned around the other way
I have crewed a few outrigger Hawaiian canoes in races and my body hurts just to remember. I can't imagine going a longer distance in a heavier craft and then having to leap off and fight for my life. To appreciate some of these things you really have to have a bit of a go at it sometimes - Kia ora
0:32 That would put me off alright, to put down my weapon and call the mental hospital.
tf?
Taiaha have killed hundred of thousands, the hospital would probably take you instead
That would cut your head off, you wouldn’t see it coming
ok?
You expect me to believe Grogu was referring to this?
what?
My dad if I don’t do my chores: This is taiaha
