Question on Karate!
-
Have u guys watch "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" last time?
Remember Tommy the Green(later white ) Ranger?
In the show (and real life ) , he is a Karate Instructor and obviously uses Karate moves when fighting the enemy.
What I wanna ask is, why is it Tommy yells stuffs while executing his moves?
Eg: while fighting the Monster...
Tommy:"Hwah!" *punch*, "Hyahhhh!" *kick and jumps* , "Seck EWAHHHHHHH!" *does a round house flying kick*, "Aiyaaaaaaaaaaaah!"*slams monster to the ground*
What's the use of yelling out all these war cries while fighting?
Does it gives u extra energy?
Or does it scares the enemy?
I only know that Tae Kwon Do fighters yell "EURS!" while executing moves.
Any Karate practioners care to give your opinions?
-
scare the opponent?
-
momentum and scaring opponents
when you learn martial arts, your intructor will tell you to shout so that you scare the other guys while my friends feel that it gives them momentum -
Whatever u wish to shout is up to you, right?Originally posted by Agenda:momentum and scaring opponents

Can yell Hokkien Vulgarities? -
Like Maria Sharapova?

Those table-tennis players also make sounds while playing.
I think this is to put off their opponents through distracting. -
Its has more than just scaring opponent. In Japan traditional karate like Chinese Kung fu are train with qi. Therefore the release of air or inhale will enable the circulation of your qi in your body. It will enhance your power.

need to wayang abit la if action heroes never shout when execute their combi kungfu moves then not exciting liao neh
-
Exhale the air lorrs...
-
to make ur opponent faint cuz of ur bad breath
-
so that upon impact...you wont get internal injuries by holding up all the stored energy in your kicks or punches...
-
its quite difficult to explain but i try....
the "shout" is known as Ki-ai. "Ki" is jap for "qi" and "Ai" is jap for together or unity. it helps to focus your strike and "hardens or flex" your body when exerting strength. It is similar to how weight lifters grunts when lifting a heavy weight.
if you breath out when taking punch, it helps to reduce injuries.
of course, it does help in freezing your opponent for a short while. -

Jason David Frank's (also known as Tommy on MMPR, PRZ, PRDT) karate school. -
It's used to distract opponents when you first start. However, as you go along, you will build up internal energy, through which you release by shouting. This form of shouting is different from shouting with just using your voicebox. It's come internally, meaning through your diaphragm. It's the same to normal people, but trained martial artists are able to tell the difference.
It's also meant to give you more power, but if you do it the wrong way, you lose more power instead. -
everyone above me doesnt have a clue what he/she is talking about, what internal energy come out by shouting
