Why do martial artists yell or "Ki‑Hap"? There are two reasons:
1. Ki‑Hap is used when executing punches, kicks, throwing techniques,
weapons techniques, etc. to help concentrate and focus power at the appropriate moment.
2. Ki‑Hap also helps relieve stress and build self-confidence.
Ki‑Hap is a method of controlled breathing.
Ki‑Hap means:
Ki = Internal energy
Hap = Combine
Ki‑Hap = internal energy combined by mind with physical power
Your kihop expresses your internal state of energy/spirit and state of mind
