Probably a tradition that has carried over.<BR/>Or, maybe they are just yelling out the name of their techniques each time, you know, kinda like in all anime.Veliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10381438048125615930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30084401.post-72991899556842844452008-08-20T15:27:00.000-07:002008-08-20T15:27:00.000-07:00I pretty much agree with everyone's feeling about ...I pretty much agree with everyone's feeling about the yelling in fencing.
