Kanohi ki te kanohi, Rae ki te rae
Face to face, forehead to forehead
The implications of this kōrero goes beyond “close quarter combat” but definitely talks to being present, being direct, being personal and committed in any engagement. The bigger picture is how do we prepare ourselves for being Kanohi ki te kanohi, rae ki te rae?
- Be informed
- Be current
- Gather the evidence
- Cultivate the allies
- Have each others back
Just as our tipuna trained for combat so must we be trained and disciplined in our present-day form of combat.
