The Haka Team Building

By now, you’ve probably seen the haka – the famous pre-match ritual of the world-champion New Zealand All Blacks rugby team. It’s a powerful way to build passion, commitment and alignment. And what team couldn’t use that?

Why this event?

This haka team bonding activity has been the catalyst for energizing events and inspiring teams at some of the world’s leading companies. It’s fantastic for connecting people to organizational values in a uniquely exciting way. To call this experience memorable would be an understatement.

For starters, our facilitators are actual Maori, so Haka is literally in their blood. Dressed in traditional costume, they storm the stage with conch shells, chants and of course their famous dance. They also share the real meaning of haka – it’s all about absolute team commitment to emerge victorious over any and all competition. 

As your team learns haka, the energy in the room rises, confidence builds and the commitment to the chant borders on ferocious. We can also add a competitive element to your event by breaking out into smaller teams. Of course, we finish off with your full group performing a unified team haka en-masse.
