parkerlineage Posted July 8, 2006 Posted July 8, 2006 In Karate, we have our kiai yell for when we want to add emphasis to our strikes. What is the equivalent of that in some of your styles?

MizuRyu Posted July 8, 2006 Posted July 8, 2006 In our particular school of Wing Chun we don't have any. We're just taught proper breathing and the like. "They look up, without realizing they're standing in the palm of your hand""I burn alive to keep you warm"
cheeks Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 same here, in my kung fu class we dont do any kiais...dunno what its like for other styles though.... If you have just read the above message and agree with it then you may worship me as the best thing since sliced bread. Of course if you don't agree then hey, i'm a crazed lunatic and you should ignore my insane ramblings.

elbows_and_knees Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 Hung-Ga uses sounds for specific movements.yeah, our longfist did as well. ha, hey, oi, huuh... (phonetically) there are seven sounds total, each accomplishing a different goal.
WudangDragon Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 Hung Gar has some but not kiai style. It's because breathing adds power (qi and taiji quan style) - every movement with a breathing part has a different type of breathing part - unlike karate where evertything is kiai . . . . "We follow the World,The World follows Heaven,Heaven follows Tao,Tao follows the way things are."
HG Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 With the exception of the opening & closing bow none of the sounds is used for shouting.
