Mau rakau is a Maori martial art in which you use a Rakau or a Taiaha. We learn Mau rakau from our teacher Matua Wi. We never forget the moves because of the way he has shown us. Whenever we go out for Mau rakau we go over everything that we have already learnt and then we will learn another move depending on how much time we have.
There are lots of different moves to learn. The moves we have been learning are the Ahae which are the basic moves, Paua are striking moves which inflict pain and Karo which are used to block Paua. Lately we have been learning the Whero and have been training on the cold icy grass.
