Actually the grunt is caused by the forcefull contraction of your abs forcing air out of your lungs. The grunt is a side effect, not the cause.

I saw this movie about these martial arts masters who using there "internal power" could fly, and run up walls. Not to mention beating hoards of attackers at once.

In the real world someone with confidence can often make other people back down. I don't think there is anything mistical about it.
