What's the breathing sound a boxer makes?

[Shaman Of Sexy]

What is the "shhh" sound a boxer make while striking. I understand that it's him exhaling on a punch, but why does he make it audible? I heard it's for beginners to work on their breathing, and ditch the habit of holding your breath, but then I don't understand why pro boxers still do it.

I think Karate fighters say kiai too, don't they?

I'm just wondering why they make their breathing audible? Does this not use more energy then necessary. They could simply could be exhaling in silence.

I'm curious of the actually benefits of exhaling on a strike. I heard it makes you actually hit harder. Is this a myth or true?

Whenever i train I'd do the sound by myself without knowing.

Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom

Pride is nothing without honour & honour is respect.

the utterance of consonants, vowels and fricatives stimulates corresponding areas/cavities of the human body. The consonant k stimulates the thoracic diaphragm to move down. Simultaneously the diaphragma pelvis and the diaphragma urogenitale move up thus compressing the internal organs located between the two. This way of breathing is called reverse breathing and it is used in iron shirt qigong.
Conclusion: Language stimulates endocrine activity. Conclusion: Mind control equals normative manipulation of sound throughout human history.

huh?? . . .

In martial arts, the kia is also psychological warfare. They say hollering at your enemy will scare the sh!t out of them. It's called an attack yell. In the book of 5 rings Myamoto Musashi talks about the different Kia's or attack yells that he used. Once when I was a white belt and I was sparring this guy kept hollering the word "Kill" at me. Scared the sh!t out of me. LOL

The sudden yell sort of puts you in control. Even if for no other reason that you just took action

Exhale forcefully on the effort phase makes you hit harder.
TRUE..... with the power punches. With the jab, I never noticed. I just jab like a madman, to force an opening

that small hiss sound does not come from the nose. it's a short exhale through pursed lips while having your mouth shut so as to not get your jaw broken/ tongue bit etc. etc. just as ghost mentioned before.

It's all part of the explosive movement of a punch. In the weight room, one makes a similar sound on the final 2 reps of a hard set of exercise. I think it's a power thing. Works good, though

Exhale when you punch.

Exhale when you are punched.

Exhale when you hit the ground after a throw.

The sound? I don't know, with a mouthpiece in your mouth, and your teeth clenched, it makes a hiss, sometimes.

I think some fighters make the sound on purpose. I don't hiss when I punch, I don't think.

R U Bill Clinton? "I never inhaled"

Because if you exhale that hard with your nose, snot will fly out.

[ttruscott]

A boxer snorts thru his nose to keep it clear if it is bleedings. A snort but other wise verry ordinary breathing.

A karate-ka momentarily and convulsively clenches (for want of a better word) his inter-costal muscles and diaphram when he hits which causes a tightening of the ribs against the lungs causing an explosive breath out but it stops when the muscles tighten fully.

A boxer's breath goes out, a karateka's breath chops short which causes a short sharp exhalation, but not a breath.

one of the biggest reasons a boxer makes that sound is because his abdomin kontracts. same thing with the kiai.
