WMMA yelping when striking

[FinalConflict2005]

What’s with the constant yelping when striking? Noticed a lot of wmma strikers do this.

And they're not even connecting either. This card has been such a snoozefest man...And I never complain about cards and I like WMMA too. Smh!

Its not just wmma..but its more noticable for some reason..you should be exhaling during striking and that can be done through..yelps/grunts or hollys essh..but most common just a ssss sound .. everybodys different..

It's called a Kiai and pretty much all fighters do it, but instead of the sounds they just use breathing.

the shout can keep them aggressive and it can disract their opponent

Yeah i dunno why its more noticeable with wmma ..ive been training for a long time and i do the occasional kiai or grunt while striking .. but mostly just a ssss exhale.. its a habitual thing that i guess there coaches dont correct them?

I really think it's because women are far less aggressive than men, they need to keep up the loud kiai to keep themselves moving forward.
