in germany i´ve only heard about serveral way yet with specific words to do kiai , but i´ve also heard some traditional japanese kendokas on youtube doing it with more various vocabs(it may could be that i will hear more about it later, im still a beginner anyway)
HI thank you for the comment. OK so we do have specific words we use for when we execute a technique, you can have kiai prior to a technique as well but generally this doesn't have a designated word. It is worth nothing though that although kiai is required to obtain Ippon it is not required to say an specific word ( I guess this is to accommodate practitioners of kumdo and maybe the use of other languages but on this I need to do more research) I hope this was helpful let me know i you have any other questions
So cool
Eiga Sensei has Amazing Kendo
which words do people usually use for the kiai or are they just shouting there without any words in explicit meaning?
