I don't think it's a lost art.  I think it's just that fewer find the true meaning of it.

Hence, it’s facing to become a lost art because the importance of the serious training In its effectiveness of the kiai seems to me that the seriousness of its training is being replaced by the drive to win at some MA tournament, particularly certain Kata divisions!!

Kiai is as personal to the practitioner as air is to the lungs. Kiai must be properly trained and not regulated to some humdrums activity with no importance…something we do in order to appease the CI.

The pageantry of the kiai nowadays can be in the state of disarray because the MAist isn’t mature enough in its training.

Imho.
