In Karate, kiai is a powerful shout that accompanies an attack, symbolizing focus and enthusiasm. The term combines two Japanese words: ki (spirit or energy) and ai (emphasis).
A kiai serves multiple purposes:
True kiai comes from the diaphragm, not the throat, and can even be performed silently, embodying inner energy and control.

Traditional karate is about effective self-defence under all conditions. When we refer to traditional karate, we mean more than just kicks, punches and blocks. Shotokan’s founder Gichin Funakoshi emphasized that a fight can end up on the ground, for which you need skills other than kicking, punching and blocking.
