So one thing I've wondered for a long time is what some of the Asian pro players shout when they win points. I don't speak Mandarin or Korean etc so I was wondering if anyone could translate.
It's kiai. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiai?wprov=sfla1 In martial arts, this shout helps focus breathing and power during attack. Like hah! Or hooh! But some players have obviously elevated it to a new level of shouting not during the attack but also after a successful attack. In some cases, screaming 3-4 times like Marin and ChenQC.
Screaming is right.... first time i watched Marin i thought her dog had died or someone was attacking her....
Danish players sometimes scream "kam sa", which basically means come on in danish. I think most players just grunt like cavemen tho
