It is a war cry/dance done by the New Zealand native people - the Maoris - which was formerly a war cry, and is now ceremonial - always performed by their rugby team The All Blacks.

Apologies to any Kiwis if I'm not 100% on here and please put me straight.

The guy in my picture above is performing The Haka.

It breaks the link with the ground, sealing the summoned ancestor spirits within the body of the celebrant.
