Best Answer

It is called a 'Kia' or a 'spirit shout.' There are several reasons for it. It helps in focusing the power of the strike on the opponent. It also tightens up the muscles of the body, particularly the core muscles. This does two things. It forces more power into the strike. And it protects the internal organs with hardened muscles.

Are wrestlers like Kenzo Suzuki and others trained martial artists?

Yes, he is and many others are also. He performed in New Japan before coming to America and used a lot of martial arts. Honestly, Kenzo Suzuki isn't. I have spoke to Kenzo before. Yes he has came from Japan but he was just a Wrestler...Not a Martial Arts specialist. Wrestlers like Ultimo Dragon, Tajiri, and Akio are the ones who could be classified as Martial Artist. Kenzo is more of a Heaveyweight to be a Martial Arts specialist. The only thing of the such that he can perform well-ly would be a Super Kick or Buzz-Saw kick.
