Sensei... My apologies if this is a rudimentary (dumb) question. Is there a significance to the kiai's used when parrying, striking, or stepping back and "resetting"? They appear to be consistent, so I assume they must be. If so, can you explain a bit about them? Terrific video. Thank you for sharing it.
Eric san, a part of Kokyū-hou [呼吸法, Laws of Breath] is the section on Kakegoe (掛け声), which, in the fighting arts, refers to using sounds as a means controlling one's air flow by synchronizing it with oscillating the limbs and muscular activity. You have probably heard powerlifters grunt in exhalation when lifting a heavyweight; or a track & field athlete make loud sounds while exerting effort throwing a discus, shotput and or javelin, etc. and the same goes for boxes when hitting the bag! The idea is to control energy by regulating the flow by using sound vibration!
Nice video Pat san

Sir, was wondering if in your store, do you have a dvd/video download on the rokkishu kata.
