There's a divided opinion on this. For newcomers that shouting can be unnerving but for the experienced competitor it can spur them on. I guess ultimately organizers would rather allow it to create a vibrant atmosphere otherwise the competition would be boring and dull. Same with all competitive sports. : )
I like people who have been practicing for 40 or 50 years. I have 30 years of practice.
I only started my tai chi adventure in february. sword forms start pretty soon. I have a lot to learn! This was so beautiful!
Wonderful!
Shouting should not be allowed at competition, more distracting than encouraging...
