Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yes, not every style you have to go AHhhh and Ahyi when you punch or kick. But some times it could throw your opponent off lol.

Me I would laugh if some 1 was goo Ahhh And Aiiyy, like if this was after noon Dbz special.
I would laugh at every thing. And in a fight it would be my disadvantage

It is true, a kiai is meant to improve your punches and such if done properly. But many non-martial artists hear the word and actually shout KIAI!!! Which is just the name not the word we shout, I don't actually shout a word, kiai sound vary i've experimented with a few and AAAAAAAAAAPE comes out best...looks weird in writing though. Short and sharp is best for me. When I was little I shouted something like WAP!!! Like I said, it's hard to put your personal kiai into letters. But I like the idea that everyone's is different. Like your personal force comming out!

See what I mean, when you shout it it sounds okay...but written it looks weird...asuming your kiai sounds normal anyway! biggrin

If people think it's strange I will tell you something the military makes you shout Kill when you are doing combat training this is the same idea. When I get realy pised I growl sounds dumb but I have made dogs wimper and made people walk away during fights. I have gone into berserker rages befor and realy freaked people out. I have anger problems me and my dad both must be genetic. My front door wouldent open I sholder ramed it and busted the door. I kicked a hole in the wall once and at school in 4th grade I fliped out and threw a desk across the room. I have learned to control it better but if I get realy mad I just can't hold my self back.

No I was a violent dangerous kid growing up I would jump into fights that had nothing to do with me I loved it. I have self control but I hate holding my self back when someone pisses me off it angers me more to hold back my anger. I have respect for others as long as they don't disrespect me I don't look for fights I will normaly walk away but I can't stand people who wont let things be they talk s**t when you walk away. I had a guy start some crap one day walking home from school I was walking and behind me down the street there were two guys walking home the other way I heard them cuss so I looked that way to see what was up. Nothing was going on I thought they were just talking so I turnd and started walking again this happened twice the second time I turned back and I heard "You best keep walking" I droped my bag and turned around I yelled out I willl kill you mother ******** I was mad as hell. I didn't know these punks and I just fliped out they ran away which just made me mader. I hate people who start crap and I hate cowards who talk big but never do any thing.

I get pumped up and once that happens I just want to rip something apart I try not to tair up my house but I feel like throwing things and just destroying every thing. My dad is the same way he came home once pissed off about work and threw a chair across the room I have seen him slam thing around when he gets frustraited berserk is the only word that I can use to describe the way we get when mad. It can be scary at times and it's one reason I was called psycho when I was in school. My dad has never hit me or my mother in any way my mom did leave him about 4 years ago and I moved in with her because I felt me and my dad would go at it and destroy our house.

I wouldn't worry about it as most people don't understand it.
