SaiFightsMS Posted April 7, 2002 Share Posted April 7, 2002 We all know many martial arts have terms for movements in the language in which the art originated. What about a collective lanuage for all the words martial artistis use. Words describing the feelings, training techniques. What would you call the language marial artists speak to each other?

Joecooke007 Posted April 7, 2002 Share Posted April 7, 2002 I would call it marguage and mixture between martial and language. Boards don't hit back. -Bruce Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YODA Posted April 7, 2002 Share Posted April 7, 2002 You'de have to establish a few universal words that all martial artists can relete to. A good place to start would be..... Wattaaaah!!!

CTpizzaboy Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 Since we have to kiai really loud after every technique, in this new language we all have to speak very loud and kiai after every sentence. WHAT ABOUT THAT, EH??? KIAI. :grin: Canh T.I often quote myself. It adds spice to my conversations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ti-Kwon-Leap Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 Well, I guess I could explain it best in story form: I'm in the backyard having a barbecue with my martial arts buddies when someone asks my wife where I am. She simply replies "oh, he's in the backyard talking chop!" Ti-Kwon-Leap"Annoying the ignorant since 1961" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tessone Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 I like pizzaboy's idea. It'd be the only language in the world where punctuation is pronounced, and very loudly at that. Chris TessoneBrown Belt, Kuk Sool Won Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantasmatic Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 I agree w/ Pizzaboy but I would rather have it be called Phantasmatics KIAI Language of Death.....

kicker Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 I am not sure but it would have to be something good like some that means " Martial Art Rock " when you do your best it`s going to show.
