Audible exhalation during/upon strike or
exertion in combat and or practice? Your thoughts?
Steven M. Franz I think the breathing,
contraction and relaxation, are a bit more important than whatever noise comes
out...but that is just me.
Steve Brown we make
grunts or shouts etc naturally upon physical exertion, it helps focus your
energy and strengthens or tightens your core for that extra ompph. So why
wouldn't we use is in martial arts?
Jason Delaney I think
one thing that many people forget to do in combat his breathe. When I train on
the heavy bag I usually sing a song or tell a story because it forces me to
breathe. Obviously I can't do that in a fight, but a grunt is actually a
repressed breath that slips out if we can train ourselves to release that
breath all at once creates quite a powerful result
John McNally You want someone to scream or grunt loudly when
their trying to hit you. In my line of work It happens. Controlling the
adrenaline is important. When people get excited they forget to breath and
start swinging at everything. Once the adrenaline leaves their a sitting duck.
A well trained Karateka shouldn't have any trouble regulating their breathing
for practice, Sport or Combat. It's in every part of our training.

There is striking on
exhalation. There is striking on inhalation.
One school I know of at 3rd
dan requires everyone to permanently switch to inhalation except when they are
the instructor.
Some tai chi schools use
inhalation too, but permanently, not back and forth.
I believe the Idea is that opponents may
use the sound of your breathing pattern as a clue to when you strike, and the
reversal is so they cannot anticipate you actions. Old
school thinking
