This workshop offers participants a hands-on introduction to Mau Raakau, the traditional Maaori martial art. Each participant will be given a raakau (wooden stick) and guided through the foundational aspects of this practice. The session includes learning a few basic nekehanga (movements), along with the tikanga and values that underpin Mau Raakau—such as discipline, respect, and connection to whakapapa.
