Ironberg Posted June 27, 2004 Posted June 27, 2004 Mine's an extremely loud "I-YAAA" that would make a punk band proud. Let out your rage, I say. "An enlightened man would offer a weary traveler a bed for the night, and invite him to share a civilized conversation over a bowl of... Cocoa Puffs."
angelica d Posted June 27, 2004 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! "Weaseling out of things is what separates us from the animals . . . except the weasel."- Homer J Simpson
Jade Posted June 27, 2004 Posted June 27, 2004 It depends....when i don't concetrate correctly the enrgy it's only a loud "Hey!!!"....and when i'm in a right tension is somethink like "DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" "With a bit of imagination, kata can be deadly." - Hidy Ochiai
karatekid1975 Posted June 27, 2004 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
Zorba Posted June 27, 2004 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". It takes a big man to admit when he's wrong, and I am NOT a big man.Tae Kwon Do (ITF) - 1st Dan Black BeltShotokan Karate - 6th Kyu
Red Triangle student Posted June 28, 2004 Author 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. "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!
EvilTed Posted June 28, 2004 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
mArTiAl_GiRl Posted July 1, 2004 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. Kill is love
mArTiAl_GiRl Posted July 1, 2004 Posted July 1, 2004 .. I used to scream 'Ki-aaiiiii!!' when I was younger.. Kill is love
