"Kia rite, kia mataara, amohia!"
(Prepare, be diligent in your preparation, execute!)

to promote unity - through, collaboration, enthusiasm and enjoyment
Our parent brands' tuakiri or identity - Amohia carries weight, a weight filled with love, remembrance, forethought and action.
Firstly, Te Amo, was the name of Korey's great grandmother who has ancestral lineage to Ngāti Huia, Ngāti Raukawa, Ngāti Tama and Ngāi Tahu iwi. Adding to that, the Amo are the strong upright bargeboard supports of the lower ends of the maihi of the front of a meeting house or wharenui. Amo also means to carry or bear weight on the shoulder, like taking your whānau and all those who have gone before you, with you on your journey.
Furthermore, Amohia, means to attack! Execute! Get stuck in and simply do what needs to be done to accomplish your objectives.
