Question

Why do fencers scream so violently if they think they scored? ?

Answer 1

Their hemorrhoids are bothering them?

Answer 2

Their is so much built up energy under those garments that sometimes it comes out through screaming but most of the time its to put the opponent off just before they strike - ie: they scream - the opposition thinks they have struck therefore lets their guard down then the screamer goes in for the kill, of course it doesnt always happen that way.
