TKD_McGee Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 Everyone has seen Enter The Dragon where there is a huge training camp with guys in white suits punching back and forth... then Bruce Lee enters..... WUTAH! SLAP SLAP! In Korea TKD at least is nothing like that, no one stands around in their suits and punches or does forms in straight lines... they train in their shorts and have a good time! Anyways i think this WUTAH! stuff and uniforms with neat formations is all based off of hollywood since martial arts just came here in the 60's or so.. (To the Masses) Some people look just funny moving their head side to side like bruce lee and yelling WUTAH! before a match. Or making those whining WUAHHH! noises during a match. Does anyone here do that? Is it suposed to make your opponent uneasy? I think some ppl just do it because they can. Do unto others, as they done to you.

Ryukyu1 Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 Saw it at a kickboxing competition once. The guy was prancing around the ring and when he would throw a shot it was generally accompanied by the sound affect. It all ended very fast when the guy he was fighting drove a straight punch straight into his face and broke his nose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBN Doug Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 :lol: I don't know how others feel, but if I were sparring someone like that, the sound effects would just motivate me to SHUT HIM UP AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!!

CTpizzaboy Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 The yell is what only Bruce Lee could do and look cool doing it. If I tryed it, WUAAHHH!!; it just doesn't sound right and I'll look stupid at the same time. Its only what Bruce Lee could do, like what only Michael Jordan can do. Canh T.I often quote myself. It adds spice to my conversations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chh Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 I have no experience with JKD, but our XBOX came with Dead or Alive 3 and there's a goofy JKD character who dances around in his flaming pants and shrieks WUTAH or WUAAHHH every time he moves (even when he's just shaking his fist in the air for no apparent reason, which is an excellent time to cream him). All I wanted to do was find the button combination that would make my guy rip his vocal chords out, I can't imagine anyone besides Bruce Lee trying to pull that off in real life!

spinninggumby Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 Dead or Alive is a nice series! Well I am more of a 2D fighting fan myself so I always stick to old school like Street Fighter (but no Mortal Kombat please) and SNK. :razz: 'Conviction is a luxury for those on the sidelines'William Parcher, 'A BEAUTIFUL MIND' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singularity Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 I am a huge 2D fighting fan. I especially like some of the newer ones such as Marvel vs. Capcom and the like. They do stuff I wish I could do. Just felt like posting Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
