Haka

You know those days when you're racking your brain for a good way to intimidate your co-workers? The haka may be just what you're looking for. Thanks to Tourism New Zealand, you can experience the "energy and awe of the haka." Read about its Maori origins and its various forms, then why New Zealand's national rugby team, the All Blacks, performs it on the field before every match. A nifty "Learn to Haka" feature shows you how to perform the moves and chant, step by step, complete with menacing eye-rolling and grimaces. So next time you just want everyone to leave you alone and have a few minutes to yourself, let loose with a mighty "Ka mate!"
