Maori TV have a new Reality TV show to be launched tonight called TOA.
Toa O Aotearoa invites 10 exponents of Maori traditional weaponry, hailing from the “four winds” of Aotearoa, to come together to be pushed to the limit, physically and mentally over a two week period.
The warriors will live together, eat together, train together and fight together in an isolated area near lake Rotoiti to see who has got what it takes to claim the glory of “TOA – Toa O Aotearoa”.
Weaponry master, Wetini Mitai-Ngatai will continually challenge our TOA in an effort to expose any deficiencies or weaknesses.
Episode challenges will determine the two warriors who must then fight each other in a full contact duel, to claim the title of TOA – Toa O Aotearoa.
