Apparently, there is no grunting or purposeful noise making as it takes away strength from our body. It sounded a bit strange and I intend to investigate further. I've also wondered why one doesn't kiai at the release in the practice of Japanese archery. Interesting relations to karate as I was often told to use kiai on certain strikes. Not sure about this, but I agree with you and the effect of a powerful kiai on a possible threat. Thanks for the post.Zacky Chanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17174486813298415578noreply@blogger.com
