I'm switching to "aye aye"! It will be fun. Thanks for the video, Profesor!

It would definitely surprise any Sailors you say "aye, aye" to.

I like that final question.... how did it make it's way to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and is it even common in Brazil or is it one of the more North American inclusions. I notices in the Korean Martial Arts that Westerners tend to be "more korean" than the majority of Koreans in regards to some of the perceived cultural aspects. Another fun video Professor! I like the mindset... if it works for you, and there is no harm to others then... go for it!

The word “OSS” was used by the Japanese peasants as a form of greeting in the street. It is considered impolite and uncouth to use it today. The only time I have heard it a lot is in Karate dojo’s as a way of acknowledging an instruction or as a understanding of something said by the Sensei or as a way of acknowledging a partner when bowing before sparring. The word is not used in traditional (Koryu) martial art schools were they use “HI”. I would guess that it’s use in BJJ dojo’s came about from students who had gotten into the habit having previously practiced Karate and it snowballed from there. I have never heard it used as a Kiai though, although I know Musashi did recommend using different sounds for different situations but I can’t remember OSS being one of them without looking it up.
