Osss! From the Japanese word Oshi Shinobu Osu, meaning "persevering when pushed", or in other words: never give up, have determination and patience. At the start of a fight, we shout "OSS" as a way of letting this sentiment out. It is a way of saying to our opponent, "I respect you, and I will work hard."

Took that from Kauaikimonos.com

Ossss is also used while traditional people are getting on and off the mat, while also bowing to the sensei of the Academy. I also do not know its exact meaning but use it since others do. I assume it is Japanese based.

I'm not 100% for sure on this one, but I remember hearing somewhere that "passe/passa quada" means pass the guard. Any Brazilian speakers able to confirm this?
