KIAI ei kuulu huutaa "KIAI" !

Tässä kaikille SUomen karate senseile vielä tiedoksi:

http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiai

Tai sitten näin:

The word kiai is made up of the ideogram "ki," which means energy or spirit, and the ideogram "ai," which means matching or unite. Many Far Eastern people believe a force flows through all things.....................

How to Sound
The sounds Taekwondo students make when sounding a kiai are "E-eye" or variations of kiai, such as "ya," "oh," "or-ya," "utzz," "kiyup," or "e-yup". The exact sound of the yell will vary from person to person. You should experiment to find the best sound for you. However, do not try to sound like Bruce Lee—keep it simple and traditional sounding. Staying with the standard kiai sounds will keep you from saying something offensive in a foreign language. One famous Karate expert was well known for using the word "kusoh" for his kiai—it means feces in Japanese. Actually, the kiai may be silent; everything else is the same except e does not emit a sound

...mutta eis siis junnttimaisetisi "K-I-A-I" ! Se vaan on yksinkertaisesti väärin.
