Jumping

Different forms of jumping were indulged in, and served both as an excercise and pastime. The general name for such was takaro page 30tupeke in the north, while kai rerere denoted a practising of the long jump. Vaulting with a pole, termed tutoko, was apparently confined to vaulting across a stream, and similar exercises, the high vault not being indulged in. The hop step and jump, introduced by Europeans, has quite taken the place of the above forms of jumping.
