History: Based on the Purakau (legend) of Rahitutakahina and the rescue of his wife Tiarakurapakewai. The tākaro is a reflection of Tupuna storytelling at its best, as well as provides an insight into the way in which they would explain and design Tākaro to reflect their unique "world view". The Papa Tākaro (field) layout of Ki o Rahi and the way the Tākaro is played is a perfect example of this.
Two teams: Kioma and Taniwha
6 Rules of the game:
Taniwha score by hitting the Tupu with the Kī. Kīoma will have Kaitiaki (guardians) around the Tupu to stop Taniwha from hitting the Tupu.
Taniwha scores by throwing the ki by throwing it at the barrel
Kioma score by touching the 7 pous with the ki but don't need to hit all 7
Taniwha must stop Kīoma from scoring by either touching, 2 handed touches, ripping the tag or tackling them in the appropriate area.
Must be running with ki or if standing then need to pass in the 3-5 seconds
Played 4 quarters or 2 halves of a set time, teams alternate roles of Kioma and taniwha at half or quarter
