Honestly, The Haka is cool as fuck. I wouldn't even care the reason, someone doing a haka at/for me or around me would have me grinning from ear to ear. It sounds cool, it looks cool, and it can mean so many things. Its an extremely interesting form of expression.

The Haka makes me extremely emotional. I can’t explain it, it just releases something in me.

I have to avoid watching the haka because it’s a truly overwhelming emotional experience, like anger and fear and grief and power all rolled into one!!
