DokterVet Posted July 26, 2003 Posted July 26, 2003 In pinan sandan, do you perform a kiai on the spear hand, or the punch a few moves later (after the backfist)? I've seen it both ways, and wonder how many people do it each way. 22 years oldShootwrestlingFormerly Wado-Kai Karate
Radok Posted July 27, 2003 Posted July 27, 2003 On the punch. If you can't laugh at yourself, there's no point. No point in what, you might ask? there's just no point.Many people seem to take Karate to get a Black Belt, rather than getting a Black Belt to learn Karate.
Shorin Ryuu Posted July 27, 2003 Posted July 27, 2003 I do it on the punch. I must say, I'm bad about skipping the kiai in my forms. A lot of times i just exhale quicker... Martial Arts Blog:http://bujutsublogger.blogspot.com/
G95champ Posted July 27, 2003 Posted July 27, 2003 In Heain Sandan they are at the punch at the top of the center line and the last elbow. (General George S. Patton Jr.) "It's the unconquerable soul of man, and not the nature of the weapon he uses, that ensures victory."
SaiFightsMS Posted July 27, 2003 Posted July 27, 2003 On the punch. The kiai is usually on the movement when you reach the farthest move to the front of the room.
gheinisch Posted July 27, 2003 Posted July 27, 2003 In Sandan it's at the punch, I believe in Nidan the kiai is on the spear hand. I'm I remembering right on that guys and gals? I think I'm right. We just started working on this two in class. Greg "If your hand goes forth withhold your temper""If your temper goes forth withold your hand"-Gichin Funakoshi
Shorin Ryuu Posted July 27, 2003 Posted July 27, 2003 Yes...you are right gheinish...of course, we do it the "old way" with the seemingly more complicated Pinan Shodan before the simpler Pinan Nidan, so our Pinan Nidan is your Pinan Shodan, and vice versa.

Beer-monster Posted July 27, 2003 Posted July 27, 2003 Punch, though for use there no backfist only a gendan barai. I too dont' kiai as much as I should. I just can't do it unless I mean it, and I'm not one to use weak little "aiya"s for the sake of it. I also find it hard to pull it up from the gut or hara. Speaking of which where is the kiai in Naihanchi (or Tekki shodan). Mind, body and fist. Its all a man truly needs.
