Ki o Rahi Hurumanu


About Ki O Rahi

Ki o Rahi is a large team game thats played with 2 teams, kioma and taniwha on a large circular field. Played for 4 quarters or 2 halves of a set time, teams swap roles of Kīoma and Taniwha at half or quarter time.


Kīoma score by touching the Pou/s that are in the Te Ao with the Kī  then running the Kī through Te Roto/the next area and placing it down in Pawero/second closest circle to the Tupu to convert pou touches into points. Kīoma stop the other team, Taniwha.
Taniwha score by hitting the Tupu with the Kī. Kīoma will have Kaitiaki around the Tupu to stop Taniwha from hitting the Tupu. Depending on which variation is being played, Taniwha must stop Kīoma from scoring by either touching, 2 handed touch, ripping the tag or tackling them in the appropriate area.
