Wado Guy Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 For whatever reason, my school teaches no kiai's in katas. Why is that? Did Ohtsuka Sensei kiai? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G95champ Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 I have never saw a kata that had no Kiai's. I have saw a lot that had way too many lol. Like every move. LOL. Yes their are certin points in kata where you are supposed to kiai but really if it feels good or natural to do it at other points then do it. Just shows me your putting out more effort and really thinking about what your doing. (General George S. Patton Jr.) "It's the unconquerable soul of man, and not the nature of the weapon he uses, that ensures victory." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renketsu Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 I have just started Kobujitsu (Japanese weapons training) and have learned three different katas (tonfa, chuks and bokken/katana) which contain no kiais . I keep finding myself wanting to kiai I just cant help it!
