Is Kapa Haka Good for you?

You know that thing that the All Blacks do yeah you got it , the Haka! The All Blacks would do there Haka called “Ka Mate , Ka Mate.” before they start there rugby match. If your wondering “Why are we talking about this” , well the topic for today is Kapa Haka , and you may have heard what it is but if you haven’t heard it anywhere or don’t know what is it , it is a Maori activity of maori action songs with groups who preform them and people do this for   another way of expressing their cultural identity. The Haka was also preformed by Maori warriors before battle to intimidate their enemies , by demonstrating their fierceness and strength , but that was back in the past when war begun between Maori warriors and their enemies. So the question for today is “Is Kapa Haka good for you?”

Kapa Haka gives an opportunity for Maori students to connect with the Maori culture, and it also give them the opportunity to express their identity as well , as gaining confidence through performance and stepping up as leaders and role models. Through Kapa Haka , students are able to experience a way of learning , and its not just Maori students who benefit from kapa haka , all other kinds of other cultural students can also benefit from kapa haka. Kapa Haka is good form of motivation and it introduces the world to maori culture , and it also gives students the confidence when they are doing it with their classmates and sometimes you could even preform in front of people , and students could even meet new people and begin new friendships while doing kapa haka! Kapa Haka is an awesome way of exercise and it includes singing dancing and others. Learning Kapa Haka you could also learn about the history of it if you willing to , but when I do Kapa Haka i feel strong and happy and who knows maybe you might be able to experience it too!

So it’s all up to you and it’s your decision to make if you want to try it , so what do you think...
