I recognise the haka is a valuable bit of cultural heritage for the Māori people. And in all of the videos I see, it’s like the participants all seem to know exactly when to do what.
Which leads me to wonder—are the words/movements in the haka standardised? Or are there just popular or historic versions of it that happen to be particularly widely known?

The most likely one you’ll see at NZ national team rugby matches and the like is the Ka Mate so is a standardised one. There are other traditonal haka as well as ones that have been created more recently.
