-- Posted by duesxmachina at 9:27 am on Aug. 9, 2008 why do they scream when they're hit? they're wearing armor and stuff. i almost crapped my pants the first time i heard it. -- Posted by NORDAC510 at 9:29 am on Aug. 9, 2008 new -- Posted by SerendipityDarling at 9:29 am on Aug. 9, 2008 Why do tennis players grunt? It's all part of the game. :D -- Posted by Aero360 at 9:30 am on Aug. 9, 2008 Imagine if you were a knight.  Wearing all that armor and a heavy chain mail.  Someone swings a goddamn sword at you, you're still afraid.  It can still hurt.  It can pierce your protection. -- Posted by Aero360 at 9:31 am on Aug. 9, 2008 Not only that, but screaming builds your enthusiasm a bit. I make karate noises when I play basketball.  It helps a lot. I got to block a shot, 'HIYAHHHHHHH!' -- Posted by Crazy snake at 9:31 am on Aug. 9, 2008 Quote: from SerendipityDarling at 5:29 pm on Aug. 9, 2008 Why do tennis players grunt?

It does not hurt when you are hit. It does not physically hurt, but it is incredibly frustrating. The amount of emotion and suspense that is built up during the swordplay is immense, and is usually released with a scream once either of the opponents scores. -- Posted by duesxmachina at 9:34 am on Aug. 9, 2008 why don't they have ball points instead? or baloons on their head and you have to pop it? jk that sucks they get hurt.
