Well that is hard to say when you first start in karate and are taught a kata you are told where to kiai. however after you have been doing it for many years you will find yourself kiai'ing in different places. In my opinion certian moves and places in kata will pull the kiai out of you. In other words just let it happen.

Karate is not a sport , it is a way of life .

Good point. I didn't think jitte had a kiai but I find myself wanting to kiai.

How about towards the beginning of the kata when you step toward your right into a ridge hand. Before you start moving forward. That is where we were taught the kiai is.

I was taught that the kiai came as you did your third stomping kick/inside crescent kick and block sequence :karate: .

On the last backfist moving forward and the last rising block in the kata

It has moves for staff defense in it. I have done most of the Heian Kata with a Bo however I have never tried Jittie. Honestling I think the first few moves would be a bit difficult as well as the stomp and backfist section but Im sure it could be applyed.

The first two moves could be slow, upward blocks. The backfists could be changed to downward thrusts or blocks. The stomp is more difficult. :-?
