Why do martial artists “shout” in the execution of a technique? Some competitions take into account spirit and energy in judging your form. The sprited yell will manifest physically in your technique like you said which shows who you are as a martial artist. If you want to perform at your maximum capability, why would you hold back in that case? |

Did Karate really originate in the Okinawa region of Japan? That's sort of what the term "kung fu" is like too (which can also be used in contexts unrelated to martial arts). It's a colloquial term that encompasses a wide breadth of systems and styles instead of one "kung fu" type, so I wonder if "karate" is like that too. |

Did Karate really originate in the Okinawa region of Japan? If the students weren't aware that karate originated in Okinawa, did they have a different idea of what the history was or were they just ignorant of it? |
