KarateKen Posted October 3 Posted October 3 Does anyone else think there should be a GEICO commercial of a martial arts master in a supermarket screaming KIHAP anytime he scans a coupon to save 25 cents on a protein bar? 1

Well I do now. Martial arts training is 30% classroom training, 70% solo training.https://www.instagram.com/nordic_karate/

I suppose that nearly everyone at one time or another of their lives, whether it be deliberate or accidental, will "kiai" whenever they feel necessary to exert themselves in both body and vocally. A release, so to speak. Yes, it's a very natural thing for the body to do when it is trying to exert force. Everything tightens up in order to stabilize everything.

In our style, if we are performing a sequence of hojo undo (aka kihon/basic) techniques, we are expected to kiai on the final technique. Well, the instructor who was teaching said, "You kiai on ALL of them, but you only vocalize the last one". I had to think about that a bit, but I interpreted it as "you have focus/kime on every technique, but we only need to hear it on the last one". Exactly. I've expressed that to our students as well. That sharp exhalation at the completion of a technique is basically a "quiet kihap." https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
