Do you grunt or yell when throwing a punch in boxing or sparring???

Question

I do hissing sound when jabbing or hooking but when I get into a toe to toe exchange I either yell, grunt, scream or shout out bam.

Answer 1

The release of air or "yell" actually started with martial arts..

Its proven to add significant power and speed to a strike..not doin this causes a "braking effect", pro boxers mainly use it when they are throwin haymakers...

Answer 2

I let out a kinda ssss sound when throwing a punch.

Answer 3

Stop that, you're turning me on...

Answer 4

Yup. Never when hitting the heavy bag, but in a sparring session when it gets going.  I don't even think about it.

Answer 5

Some boxers especially DeLaHoya make grunting noises when they punch, that's a trait they pick up as an amateur and some never lose it.

Its basically letting out air the air after you throw a punch, Mentally as well it seems to help some fighters when hitting the heavybag. Its a just a breathing technique your taught early on and some never abandoned it. It really doesn't add anything to your game except maybe mentally.

Answer 6

no. it is important to let out air when you punch hard or get hit hard and doing that makes a sound. maybe for some people that sound is like a grunt or a yell

Answer 7

Um i doubt it really matters it could be an advantage because it might psyche out your opponent but they could also think your a wuss ebcause you sound like your using alot of effort in your punches...i would use it like half the time
