The weapons are very traditional and are normally made form tree, wood and whalebone.

The patu (Maori war club) was used as a close-combat weapon during inter-tribal skirmishes. This authentic wahaika was hand carved from New Zealand native Matai timber and was hand-painted. There also is a large stone patu for smoking the head or shoulder. There are other weapons like the Taiaha which is long and used for quick sharp movements. There are many other weapons used for many things but down below is a Patu.

The haka is performed by men. When the Maori were in the war they used the haka to intimidate there opponents and acre them off. Now the haka is used to express the culture. You can see a haka being before at a Kapa Haka performance, a big rugby game or at a Marae.
