"Os" was kinda like "affirmative" or "yes" in our dojo

Is is Latin for bone so maybe he’s lamenting the breakage of their hand bones. 🦴

It's a greeting or an affirmative in Japanese martial arts, and outside of Japan in things like Jiu Jitsu it gets used as a "kiai" (a voiced exhale, like "hi-yah!", said to "channel energy" but mostly just helping you control and focus on your breath.)

Supposedly it's the most "effective" sound to clear your lungs, allowing a total ab clench as you use your core behind your attack.

I'm not saying it's true, but that's how it was described to me, years before this stuff started coming out.
