I don't really Ki-hop anymore when I shadowbox, I do more of a crazy undeterred lunatic scream.

Cool thread.

As far as me, I've come to learn that any Kiai/Kihop which opens your jaw, is a possibility for a dislocated jaw... so I never unlock my jaws if I can help it. I also use the Boxer's Hiss, which Thaiboxing also adopted. However, when going for power knees, elbows, or kicks... I tend to hiss/growl making a "ssshhaa" type sound I suppose, or a "rrrressh" sound often used by Thaiboxers. If I'm working the clinch though, I usually only use short growls, because a knee or elbow can slip in at any time.

Incidentally, I practice it sooo much, that it has become the standard for all the other arts I train. I'd have to say... the stuff really does add about 30-40% more power to anyone who does it correctly, versus themselves without using it.

"rrrressh"


Yeah that's the one.

*Edits*

Actually mine usually has an "m" in it somewhere like "mressssh" or "Himesssh" yeah that's it.

Capoeira doesn't have any such shout, although sometimes, when I "spar", I tend to use a quiet "hup" during some movements. But not very often.

But you're already dancing, so if you were singing in addition, it would be too silly. I'm glad we don't have lyrics for kata...
Note: kidding!

hehe, oh ok... so that means that you have your mouth completely closed before you breathe on those?

I favour kiai myself, simply because it's a natural sound I seem to make when I'm being tossed around. During those times, you don't think about what sound you make, you just do. Sometimes I stay quiet but when things really get going, I tend to shout out.

Why? It's not just a tensing of muscles, it is a way of control over your breathing. When you're shouting out, you're exhaling. A control of breathing is very important, especially in stamina during a fight. That's why fighting is not a quiet deal.

Then again for me, it's also a way to deal with the pain

In my style relaxation is key, and we just breathe normally in a fight.

Oh definitely relaxation is the key (just in case you didn't know, I take Aikido, where relaxation is the number one most important thing), but that's where breathing comes in most importantly. Naturally when you've been fighting for a while, you start panting after a bit and your breathing becomes more shallow. Controlled breathing, is not conscious control in that sense, but where you learn to be breathing deeply even when you've been fighting for longer periods.

Hahah definitely. Actually for me, I make these weirdest sounds like squeaks or squeals when I land and I have no idea why. It's entirely unconsciously doing so and the whole class breaks into laughter.

I favor the Hiss over the Kiai/Kihop, after catching a nice counter-cross to an open jaw in my earlier days of Kickboxing. Never again will a kiai/kihop leave my mouth.

Wohoo! Another swearer! I do that and then get glares from my sensei because swearing in the dojo is of course a huge no-no. I do it so instinctively though!
