Why do so many martial artists scream when they fight?

Question

you know, those high-pitched noises that bruce lee and the like make? we used to kiyup in tae kwon do, but those were deep and intimidating. why do they make monkey sounds when they fight?

Answer 1

actually its because you let the pressure form the feet to the fist to the head out if you ever watched fight science like when throwing a right hook bring the right ball of your foot up

Answer 2

they want to repeat the  success of bruce lee he was the original

Answer 3

The scream works in two ways. First, it tenses the muscles in your center, increasing the power of most of your attacks. Secondly, it works tactically to startle your opponent and make them drop their guard.

Answer 4

it could be to intimidate or scare their opponent but also if its a kiyai (cant spell it) they're doing its to give you a burst of energy like en you sneeze you release ALOT of energy.

Answer 5

i know rampage howls like a werewolf,

and jyd used to bark, i guess it depends on their

vocal chords just like we have tenors (pavarotti)

alto (dickenson).etc..

Answer 6

The noises are usually from the fighter focusing their Chi (the energy inside them) to make their attack more focused.

Answer 7

To try to scare them or distract them by grabbing their attention.

Answer 8

Where have you heard that? I highly doubt you've actually hear people do that.

Answer 9

most martial artists do this to channel  all their aggression and energy into defeating their opponent you most likely see this at the start of a bout this sometimes startles them  not so much in judo Ive done the sport for over 25 years and only heard a hand full of athletes do this
