He did pretty well considering he just had a few minutes to practice.
New Zealand's tourism website describes haka as "a type of ancient Māori war dance traditionally used on the battlefield, as well as when groups came together in peace. Actions include violent foot-stamping, tongue protrusions and rhythmic body slapping to accompany a loud chant. The words of a haka often poetically describe ancestors and events in the tribe’s history."
