I think you're being too realistic here. If it works for Bruce lee, it works in HW. Likewise Xena's war-whoop, her fancy acrobatics and her sword-twirling. Somewhat more realistically, archers in competition frequently take a long, deep breath & a calming few seconds before every shot. Minotaurs always start a fight by standing, legs akimbo, fists clenched, bellowing at their opponents - in my Glorantha.
What Dragonewts do, I haven't decided yet, but it'll be impressive...
