Harkon72 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Yes Sensei8, I realize exactly what you say. People think that each kiai should be consistent, or even sound the same. This not the way I was taught; for me it is a coming together of focus, intent and commitment. My kiai can vary in sound, even in the same kata; it's not the sound that matters, but the internal process. Look to the far mountain and see all.

kensei Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Oh, this again. I have been reading about the ills of GKR for about 6 years now and I have yet to read anything good about that lot. I am not against making money off of Karate, we have all put in many hours and given up family time ext to get a Dojo or two running, but a pyramid set up from the get go sends off warning bells to me. The other thing is I would never train with them because their "Sensei" teaching class may not be a black belt! I once read that an Yellow belt was given a black belt with a white stripe and the title of "Sensei" so he could open a club. He took a four month course of "Advanced teaching skill" but from what I understand this young man was not a great instructor. Just stinks of fraud to me.
