We all know many martial arts have terms for movements in the language in which the art originated. What about a collective lanuage for all the words martial artistis use. Words describing the feelings, training techniques.
What would you call the language marial artists speak to each other?

I would call it marguage and mixture between martial and language.

You'de have to establish a few universal words that all martial artists can relete to.
A good place to start would be..... Wattaaaah!!! 
Translation = "Take that you brute"

| Well, I guess I could explain it best in story form: I'm in the backyard having a barbecue with my martial arts buddies when someone asks my wife where I am. She simply replies "oh, he's in the backyard talking chop!" |

I like pizzaboy's idea. It'd be the only language in the world where punctuation is pronounced, and very loudly at that.

I am not sure but it would have to be something good like some that means " Martial Art Rock "
