Ironberg Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 Mine's an extremely loud "I-YAAA" that would make a punk band proud. Let out your rage, I say.

angelica d Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 Mine changes all the time, at the moment its generally EEEYAH! or a very short OO! (Like a gorilla sound! ) but sometimes its HEY! or SO!

karatekid1975 Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 Mine, too, Jade. I just do a loud "HEY" most of the time. Or I just breath out sharply. Laurie F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorba Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 mine is kinda like real loud SEYAH or something. not many people do it at my club, and most that do really dont do it from the gut, they just say it. we had a couple that would actually say "KIAI".

Red Triangle student Posted June 28, 2004 Author Share Posted June 28, 2004 Some people dont realise that the word Kiai is actually Onomatopoeia and that you shouldnt actually say it you should just make your own version of it.

EvilTed Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 We had a guy in our dojo - great fighter 'n' all who would shout "KITES!!!!" at the top of his voice for kiai. Funny as hell that was Osu! ET Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mArTiAl_GiRl Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Mine's an extremely loud "I-YAAA" that would make a punk band proud. Let out your rage, I say. lol! your kiai is almost like mine. I scream: 'KI-YAAAAAAH!' But it sounds like I didn't even say 'k'. And sometimes, when I spar, I attack quickly with one punch and scream 'kiai' fastly and pull back my hand to my hip.
