WHAT
IS
HAKA?
Haka is a traditional Māori ceremonial “war dance” from New Zealand, characterized by vigorous movements, face expression and rhythmic chanting. It conveys messages of strength, ancestral heritage, and unity among nature, humanity & genders. Traditionally, haka were performed by warriors before battle, but today, they are showcased at sports events, cultural celebrations and important life milestones.
Haka allows us all to embody the archetype of the Warrior. In haka, femininity can be strong, raw, loud and even “ugly”, while still remaining distinctively feminine. Masculinity can be caring, loving and mindful even when embracing its full power.
With haka, we stop being people-pleasers and we use the energy of anger and other strong emotions in a healthy empowering way.
about marco
It all started with curiosity, humility, and a great Māori teacher!
Hi, I’m Marco, I’m originally Italian, now living in Vienna, Austria.
Wait a moment, a non-Māori teaching haka?!
Yes. I have been trained by Māori cultural ambassador and musician Matiu Te Huki, who gave me his blessing to share with the world a beautiful haka that he created, called “Taku mana e”. I do this with respect, curiosity, and love for the Māori culture. I do all I can to preserve the integrity of the teachings I received. I know there is so much to learn about this culture that I have yet to explore, and I’m always eager to discover more.
The Power of Our Feelings.
I have been a manager, leading teams in the international media industry for almost a decade: there I discovered my passion for personal development and empowerment.
I also grew up in a social context where feelings were a taboo and a sign of weakness: I turned this story upside down, and today I lead people to consciously use their feelings as a resource in their daily life, especially those emotions usually considered negative such as anger, fear, and sadness.
My Call.
Personal growth and true transformation must be experienced through our bodies and emotions, beyond our logical mind. That’s why I am also a Life Coach (Lebens- und Sozialberater in training under supervision), and I offer Playfight sessions (Matteo Tangi lineage) where people explore emotions & body movement in playful yet very meaningful ways.

“I learned haka from Matiu, an inspiring Māori musician, workshop facilitator, and cultural ambassador. Training with him, he developed my inner warrior and leadership skills, empowering me to positively impact people’s lives. I deeply recommend his work to anyone interested in these qualities.
