Red Triangle student Posted June 26, 2004 Posted June 26, 2004 I'm sorry if this has already been discussed. I just thought this would be a laugh if I started it. What does your Kiai sound like? orry I cant stop laughing! Well, mine differs from time to time(usually depending on how exhausted am)Most of the time it goes: "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHH!" or "DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHH!" but when I am really tired it goes:"EEeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhh!" Dont ask me why I started this thread. Im just in a funny mood "To be elated at success, and dissappointed at defeat, is to be the child of Circumstances." I wish I followed that rule! ^^ I hate Losing!
Jussi Häkkinen Posted June 26, 2004 Posted June 26, 2004 Heh, funny question. Mine is short and rather loud "AYAA!" or "TAYAA!" (with a very soft and inexistent T). Merely like a cough. Jussi HäkkinenOkinawan Shorin-Ryu Seibukan Karate-Do (Kyan Chotoku lineage)TurkuFinland
aefibird Posted June 26, 2004 Posted June 26, 2004 (edited) Mine's a bit like eeeaaaagh or auuuuagh. Quite short but with lots of voulume! (although I can't kiai louder than a whisper at the moment - just got out of hospital after having my tonsils removed. yeuch!) Edited June 26, 2004 by aefibird "Was it really worth it?

P.A.L Posted June 26, 2004 Posted June 26, 2004 mine is like "eeeeh" louad but short, like sensei Nagamine (Matsobayashi shorin ryu) , sensei Higaonna(Goju ryu) also has a good kiai from abd. mine is not good since coming from throat not deep enough. have you ever been knocked out by kiai?
gheinisch Posted June 26, 2004 Posted June 26, 2004 Mine is a Yeaaaaaahhh!!! sound! There is one student who says the word ice as loud as he can. It works! There are other words that can do the same thing. Everyones Kiai is a little different I guess. As long as it gets the job done!

Beka Posted June 26, 2004 Posted June 26, 2004 Mine's like a big loud "HAAA!!!!" I'ts pretty short, I think, explosive, simple, yet forceful. Heck, I don't know. It's just loud and to the point.
GrrrArg Posted June 26, 2004 Posted June 26, 2004 My is a bit of a wheeze. Gets rid of all the air like its supposed to but the sound kinda doesn't work....
Chirath Posted June 26, 2004 Posted June 26, 2004 Mines is so quiet and moany (Kiaaa). No one does it really in my dojo so I feel stupid. Only the younger years do it. I think it's because my voice is broken that i feel stupid doing it.
Red Triangle student Posted June 26, 2004 Author Posted June 26, 2004 It is funny learning all about your kiais. P.A.L. I have never been knocked ut by a kiai. I would shudder to think how loud that would be! "To be elated at success, and dissappointed at defeat, is to be the child of Circumstances." I wish I followed that rule! ^^ I hate Losing!
Jussi Häkkinen Posted June 26, 2004 Posted June 26, 2004 have you ever been knocked out by kiai? No, but I caused my eardrum some damage when yelling out kiai while having my other hand up. My sleeve deflected the sound straight to my ear. That ear was deaf for three days. Jussi HäkkinenOkinawan Shorin-Ryu Seibukan Karate-Do (Kyan Chotoku lineage)TurkuFinland
