In our Kyokushin dojo it was used in different situations & can mean : Hi or Got it (the instructions), goodbye & used when we enter or get out of the dojo. I thought it was a Kyokushin style thing until I read this post. Anyway it never annoyed me in the dojo :D

It seems to be a universal word in Kyokushin and offshoot dojos.

May the Osu be with you.

We used Ouss! in Shotokan Some 35 years ago, when all bowing in then again when bowing out, it was a way to signify the start and the end of a class. :bowofrespect: :bowofrespect: :bowofrespect: :bowofrespect: :bowofrespect: :bowofrespect: :bowofrespect: :bowofrespect: :bowofrespect: :bowofrespect: :bowofrespect:

Ouss! can be used like Booo!

Ouss! Can be used very effectively as a Kia, it's enough to dramatically shake another person effecting their nervous system, if done very abruptly when not expecting it.
