I’ve read a few MA Encyclopedias on the subject of the Kiai. It’s benifits, aside from psyching the practitioner out, intimidating the opponent, tightening the abdominal reagion to provide more strength against blows to that region, etc. According to all of them, however (and this does slightly delve into the realm of mystical BS, but not if you think about it…) that there were some ways of manipulating the kiai to either hurt your oponent, or heal. I now this sounds wack, but it is fairly documented on, and we DO have specially made whistles that only animals can hear- therefore, is it entirely unlikely, there was a mechanism to make a noise just high enough to fuck up a person at close range back then? Perhaps the kiai was used in types of MA meditation. As far as healing…this seems the most unlikely, but I won’t even pretend to understand the concepts of “mind over matter” like the Sufi, acupuncture, or “psychic surgery” that they do in the Philippines, etc. What are your thoughts?
:bowdown:
Why is this in the History section?
Because this guy is a fucking moron. I should stick this foolishness in Trollshido, but I’m going to be nice.
I will cease being nice very soon.
Screaming at the top of your lungs has been known to end fights, that is a well documented fact. Crying a bit also helps.
It is actually possible to Kiai at a specific frequency that destroys the capability for rational thought in 80% of humans.
It’s called the “wing chun note” - protect yourself :listen:
Seriously, Shiro, you need to take about a 15 day break from the new thread button.
It’s in the history section because the kiai is a part of martial arts carpetmuncher. It is a legitimate question with points I’m sure you never bothered to read based on your otherwise lack of literacy. But hey, your a chick, you don’t need to read, just look good. Oh, right, thats why you spend your time here.
sweet, this should be at least entertaining.
Oh. You’re kind cute. That’s the first time anyone’s managed to combine the “you must be a lesbian” with insulting my literacy.
Nice troll work.
Did he just use “carpetmuncher” as an insult?
Perhaps the Kiai! was shouted out in the Brown Note range.

:gaygay:
If yelling was a suitable self-defense manuver, Yellow Bamboo would be the baddest motherfuckers around. As it is, they’re fucking morons, just like Shirobake.
Shiro, kiddo…
Being part of martial arts does not make it relevent for the history section. In fact, discussing it’s applicability to anything or rather or not it’s effective goes in Bullshido, where she kindly moved it to.
As for it, it’s a focus point if you train it that way, that’s about it. I listen to others babbble about a proper kiai intimidating people, or making them feel wierd or making them flinch… None worked on me so what can I say? Doesn’t impress or hold much relevence for me.
Well, I was going to explain kiai-jutsu, the good, the bad and the ugly, but considering where this is headed, forget it.
only in porn, and they’re not real lesbians anyway.
Shiro, two things:
When you report posts, who do you think SEES those reports?
and
Do a search for “JKDChick” and “IQ”. Before you dig yourself any deeper.
Eating hairy vaginas is supposed to be a bad thing?
It’s certainly icky.
And you would know that how…?
