https://youtu.be/510BzHX9qa4?t=17 https://youtu.be/510BzHX9qa4?t=17
in terms of "inspired by", "independent co-evolution", or "nothing in common"
(of course, the timing of the audio/video might be different)
- rramadass 4y agoDefinitely "inspired by" Kiai; her timing is quite good. She seems to have a two-step sound process where she makes a sound just before the stroke (psyching herself up) and then a forceful grunt/shriek as she goes through the stroke with power. I remember watching these games when i was young and the comments/controversy around "Grunting in Tennis". I was already doing martial arts then and hence knew the basis but apparently many thought it was just "Gamesmanship"; there is even a Wikipedia page on it : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grunting_in_tennis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grunting_in_tennis
