HAKA MOVEMEANT
A Tool for Strength, Creativity, and Wellbeing.
The Haka Movement originated and was developed
by Kura Te Ua, drawing from deep-rooted Māori traditions and contemporary movement. Initially created as a training system, it has since become a popular method within kapa haka and Māori performance companies, empowering creativity and discipline.

Haka Movemeant is a kaupapa that draws on the power of haka to inspire people to move with purpose.
It’s a journey that unfolds in three powerful stages:
Haka Movement Video Series:
We kick off with a series in May 2025 with dynamic haka movement reels and videos released across our social channels, bringing haka into everyday spaces and screens.
Online Learning Programme:
Learn in your own time, from the comfort and safety of your home. Build confidence, deepen your understanding of haka, and grow your cultural knowledge through guided online learning.
In-Person Masterclasses & Wānanga:
Finally, we come together. Through live workshops and one-day wānanga, we bring the full energy, wairua, and vibe of haka to the people, kanohi ki te kanohi, manawa ki te manawa.
More Ways to Engage:
- Workshops & Classes
Open to all ages and fitness levels, our workshops explore both traditional and contemporary haka movements.
