A popular term used often in karate and other Japanese combat methods. The "OSS," a phonetic transcription is written with two Chinese characters: The first character meaning literally "pushing," symbolizing the fighting spirit, the importance of effort, and facing all obstacles - pushing them away - with a positive and unchanging attitude. The second character, meaning literally "suffering," expresses the courage and spirit of perseverance; suffering pains and resisting depression with patience and without giving up, always keeping spirits high.
If I was to compare it to a Western term, it would be "hoo-ah" used in the military. Oss can mean anything from "great job" to "yes sir" to "thank you".
