Battle cry screaming "kiai" in training?

Goddamn I love the butt scoot. Goddamn.

 

It's even more satisfying if you say it in a pirate accent.

Go on. Try it. You'll thank me .

 

You really should. Lol.

 

I'm having fun with a Scottish accent. Bewt scewt.

 

I use one in foreplay. Never had a second date though

 

Thats pretty much how it got explained to me when I first began training Wado Ryu. I remember being very self conscious about it at the beginning.

As the years have gone on and my training has progressed it feels almost a natural thing when putting in maximum effort into a punching technique. Kicks not so much.

 

When I say it like that I sound like a liverpool scouser!

 

Shouting kiai or butt scooting?!

 

Damn I just You Tube'd the Butt Scoot, think Im going to get sacked now...

 

Theres different types of Kiai. On a thrusting movement i.e. Yoko Geri I have always been taught it as a longer more prenounced shout from the diaphram as apposed to a snapping attack which uses a very short burst.

It is not intended as a intimidation tactic but used to contract the body at the moment of impact to add to the technique. At least to my understanding and what I have been taught.

 

Do I have to pick just one?
