Re: What happened to the kiai and breath training?

However I wouldn't do a real kiai in the dojo because it rips my throat apart and I lose my voice. In his book "Ki: A Practical Guide for Westerners", Will Reed suggests no more than seven kiai for one training session.

Instructors in the Maui Ki Society are suggesting one hour of breathing exercise per day. This is a hard schedule to follow, but it does show how much they have embraced it.
Ted, I don't know this Will Reed, but I'd like to see what he does. Kiai and "breathing exercises" work the same thing.

Best.

Mike
