From the network that generally devotes itself to the cause of American emasculation we get something real. Please tell me this school is in the U.S. I notice that the oppressed victims of my greed and the weeping economic place-holding units are noticeably absent.
Oh, yes, this is in New Zealand where the oppressed are still men.
Thank you, Adam.
Check out the link below, and if you feel compelled to click on the fantasy football link, please, dive out of your window instead.
The video window below has another example of the war dance from pro sports. There is also a link about the ritual, as well as links to the two other pieces on this site about Maori warrior culture.

I viewed a couple of Haka rituals and also noted the Maori greeting of men touching forehead to forehead.
I had a visceral experience of loss and sadness while watching this contrast to our society's numb and dumb sameness. Though I don't like hanging out with women and their socially permissible topics of conversation, in the same belly that felt the sadness, I finally felt entirely feminine and opposite in being and energy to the men's ritual I was seeing.
Part of our culture's relationship woes must come from the requirement for men and women to meet on women's ground, in the manner of women, and by women's standards and judgments, when there is something to be handled between them. What a disadvantage for the man and loss for the woman...
I went to Tahiti and Polynesians are a lot of fun. Genetically, they're more naturally built than blacks. They like to race outriggers, spear fish, and surf. Their women are feminine. The men all respect pregnant women. My wife was pregnant at the time and the Tahitian men at the airport made a big deal out of it and let her go to the front of the line. They'll walk down the street with a tough look on their face, notice a white pregnant woman like my wife (I'm white too), then nod in respect.
Polynesian men have real masculinity so they don't pick idiotic fights unless you mess with them and are generally good-natured.
By contrast, white men really suck to hang out with because they're weak and afraid of everything.
DL, that ritual is called "the Ha":

Thank you for the word picture PR.
I have been fascinated by Polynesian culture—through reading—all of my life. To read Melville and London one finds a real affinity for them among American literary figures of the physical sort.
Read "Two Years Before the Mast." Richard Henry Dana has a glowing description of the Polynesians.
