The battle cry of the New Zealand rugby team, the All Blacks, is known as the "Haka." This traditional Māori dance and chant is performed before their matches to energize the players and intimidate their opponents. The Haka embodies pride, strength, and unity, reflecting New Zealand's cultural heritage. There are different varieties of the Haka, but the most famous one used by the All Blacks is called "Ka Mate," composed by the Māori chief Te Rauparaha in the 19th century. The performance is characterized by vigorous movements, rhythmic chanting, and facial expressions, making it a powerful prelude to the rugby games.
