What'd you say about my mama? Heh, I'm a product of the military and thus I love grunting. I have pro-grunt bias.

Are we talking about grunting or screaming here? The "errgh" noise that comes from some guys when they're benching is perfectly understandable. The "AAAAAAAHHHHRRRR!" noise that some guys vocalize isn't a grunt, it's a show-off scream. Difference, right? I guess the hard part is defining the terms. When I think grunt, I think a low noise of exertion that can't be heard in another room.

Martial arts has taught me the value of "war cries" in physical exertion. They're beneficial to fighters in many ways (as listed above in the post with the science bit). Using calls like "Tza!" for things like blocks and "AI-tza!" after punctuated strikes really can increase the power of a motion for those who know what they're doing. My instructor is a 7th degree black belt in AFK and he's demonstrated it numerous times (including on me). You don't have to use it and many don't, but there is a physiological (and psychological) advantage to doing such. And it makes kicking a Crompsin across the room that much more satisfying.
So, yeah, breathing is the key to success in any physical activity. Gotta remember to breathe.
