In Japanese the word 'oss' is written as a two-character combination. The first character means “to push,” and the second means “to suffer.” Together they symbolize the importance of pushing, striving and persevering while suffering through whatever difficulties, pains and hindrances are encountered along the way.
I can’t remember where I read/heard this but what I know is that bowing is a way of honouring the essence of self in the other. Meaning, the energy that flows throw me both potential and actual, flows through you too, we are alike and by bowing to you, I recognise that. We’re expressing respect for the sameness.
It Oss or Osu; means "Yes and respect" It's similar to the way military recruits respond to orders and commands by saying "Sir yes Sir!" or "Oow-rah!" so it's also mutual. Always reciprocated by instructors or practitioners of any rank.
“Oss” sounds differently in different situations like "Thank you", "Let's do it", "Way to go!", Sometimes, after a hard roll, it just a way to slow down the heart beat by saying Oss and exhaling at the same time....Oss🤙🤙
Ossu cames from kyokushin Karate by oyama masutatsu and means Something Like " Push down the Ego". Nowadays its Used in the Most Martial art school. A theory is from ohayo gozaimasu by the japanese navy. Cause they need to say it so often they shorten it Up to oss
I got 3 different answers to this when I lived in Japan. It's short for "onegaishimasu", short for "otskadesama desu", and short for "oshi shinobu"... So I have no idea lol
My japanese karate teacher told me that oss/ossu was like saying "yo" in english. Oss, acording to him, was employed when karate and jutjitsu was practiced by "not so nice people"
Actually osu can have different meanings. The one we use in bjj is a shortened word for onegaishimasu. Which is what you would say to a same ranked sparring partner or lesser never higher ranked that would be asking for an ass kicking as it literally translate to, do me the honour of giving me your best, so really when a higher ranked partner says osu to you, your respons should be hai/yes, also in Japanese culture a woman would never say this to a man. Another meaning comes from osu-no-shinobu which is two words osu/push and shinobu/endure so push and endure. All depends on what part of japan your from. Ohh and don't say this to a Japanese person outside a gym especially, you have to understand your actually challenging them. I learnt this the hard way when I was like everyone else and thought it meant respect lol It doesn't
The school I go to tells you to buy your own Gi.....but the point of buying their Gi is because at the end of the day you’re a team and supposed to act as one and look like one.
Nao sei quem eh esse Mario Filho, porque estou longe do Brasil ha quase 20 anos; mas sei que quando eu treinava no Rio, no inicio e meados da decada de 90, ninguem usava "Oss" no Jiu-Jitsu. Isso costumava ser coisa de karateka.

There was a picture I saw that said “In Spanish, people say Lechuga: which means ‘I love you’ “
Lechuga means Lettuce.

I don't know the exact meaning of "Oss", but I know Bernardo is the greatest! Oss! :)
I like what you said,I teach Jiu Jitsu in South Africa and have a similar energy to what you are describing.OSS
Oss stems from Osu. Osu means to endure, perseverance, respect, determination and patience. Its a great word.

I'm Japanese and if you are wondering how to write "Oss" in Japanese, it's "押忍".
Reminds me of marines saying "Semper Fi" to one another. Don't know if I'll adopt the phrase religiously like some others but I guess it's cool.
Please Professor. Talk more about jj.
"Oss" is a Japanese expression that ironically translates as "At least they didn't borrow from our karate".
lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well said .

I wonder if that could be a japanese cultural thing. I think the oss from Brazil took on a different meaning elsewhere
@@konoha1993 yeah, your probably right..
Oss means basically everything 😂🤙 oss
Pretty OSSsome!
It’s literally short for “onegaishimasu” in Japanese

Oss foi inventado pelo Mario Filho. Nunca ninguém falou isso.
