I was thinking if Kung fu schools from North or South of China have some sayings or battle cry like the houses of Games of Thrones.

Somebody can put some light about this matter ?


The only oner i know is that Hung Moon motto against the Ching goberment .

My students in the crowd chant "War San Da!" as our fighters walkout.

"We will eat your young!"

"Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here"-that's on a sign in our waiting room....

Generally it's expressed in the couplet that is made on the two sides of the sun toi (altar).

when I trained in Tang Soo Do, our teacher, Hong Yung Ki was a former instructor for the ROK Marines. He used to take us running in the snow through the mountains, and we would chant,"Il kyuk - pil sa!" in cadence while we ran.
So finally, I asked him, "Sabumnin, what does il kyuk pil sa mean?"
He proudly raised his fist and said, "One punch, Happy Kill!"
we all smiled...
and kept on running...
in the snow....
with this maniac...

(sigh) Good Times...:)

the kungfu school i trained at has a saying but i wouldnt call it a battle cry. keep in mind the sifu was raised in a buddhist monestary and this carried over with him, from what i was told it could be translated a couple ways;

'the strength of the virgin warrior'

'the power of mist over the mountain'

to me they basically saying the same thing from differing perspectives.

p.s. if you're refering to the game of thrones tv show, you should read the whole series: A Song of Ice and Fire. its mega sweet
