Avagadro Newbie Registered: 01/29/05 Posts: 22 Loc: Brisbane, Qld, Australia	I am learning Muso Shinto Ryu Jodo which includes Kenjutsu. I am also learning Seitei Iaido and Muso Jikiden Eishin-ryu Iaido. In jodo we do kiai, in iaido, we never do. Same teacher for both. What do other schools do? Does anyone know the reason for the difference?

KimTaylor Newbie Registered: 09/06/07 Posts: 10 Loc: Canada	You'll find that different schools kiai in different ways and with different specific kiai. Niten Ichiryu has three kiai sounds but they are only done on the Shidachi side in the nito seiho (two sword side). They are Zu Tan Feh MJER tachi uchi no kurai has ya ei to Kendo no kata has ya to and so on. You'll even find that iaido "has kiai" it's usually silent but it's there in many lines. I often find my jaw dropping although my mouth isn't open when I'm doing iai. Kim Taylor _________________________ http://sdksupplies.com/ http://ejmas.com/

Charles Mahan Professional Poster Registered: 06/14/04 Posts: 2502 Loc: Denton, Tx, USA	I'm with Taylor-sensei on this one. The line of MJER which I practice kiai's as well, it's just that it is usually silent. Physilogically it's identical, just without the vocalization. _________________________ Iaido - Breaking down bad habits, and building new ones.
