Te Aka Toroparawae

Mau rākau - Noho wānanga

Mau Rākau is a traditional Māori martial art

Beginning with our foundations

This noho wānanga (2 night stay) will give you the opportunity to learn the ancestral practices, values and protocols of the warrior.

You’ll learn about Māori culture and traditions, gain new skills and gain fitness and wellbeing through the mode of Mau Rākau (the Ancient Art of Māori Weaponry)

Have fun in an inclusive learning environment while you develop a specialised skill set, and help to preserve our rich culture.

Develop your knowledge, discipline and understanding with karakia, basic foot work, stances, positions and body movements and cementing foundations.

The noho marae experience bridges the distance between our Turangawaewae (standing place/home town) and where our whānau reside today.

During this 2 night noho wānanga you will connect and learn about Marae style protocols and all pitching in and giving a helping hand, working together.
