I have been following the different posts on kiai's and must admit that I didn't know there was such variety in sounds and pitch....I am more interested in the how's and why's of kiai in kendo technique and competition....my background is in traditional karate and I am well versed in karate kiai technique and use in both training and competition.....anyone who would like to reply on technique of producing their kiai and reasons for use in both developing technique and use in keiko...I appreciate your reply
