What is that screaming?

[CombattRogue]

@lesliefrancs if you were about to be slashed by a Katana im sure you will be screaming to !!

[OOFUJISAN]

@lesliefrancs

man, in oriental martial arts we have to scream to make the energy flows. With the scream, the energy comes from the breath release.

The scientific answer tells the scream forces the release of hormones in the blood, like the adrenal hormones.

@OOFUJISAN or you just make your attacks predictable. You are telling the dude when its coming.

[yoyoheads]

@lesliefrancs In Kendo to get the points, u have to scream the technique that you have used, if you are not heard the hit does not count.

[Dezzasheep]

@yoyoheads This isn't the case everywhere. My understanding that you can make any kiai, as long as its significant and on the point of contact (ki ken tai ichi). No specific target naming is needed.

in witch position they fight in the team?

[SangerZonvolt]

Aw, come on, weren ´t the refferes a bit to strict? There were a few nice actions and they didn ´t even shrug the flag a bit.

Hi It was indeed the Italian national team represented but the team from France was from Club Ille de Paris- which contains two national squad members.
