Lean forwards = Lower head.
Bad for getting kneed, kicked in the face, also guillotine choke.

@TheRichardHinckley Thank you for the informative answer. I sort of get the concept of 'kiai'ing' during execution of power techniques, but not during things like blocks or just going into fighting stance.
Now i have to go and practice some shadow boxing...
Fighting stance: "KIAIIIAARRRRGHHH-WOO-HAAAARGH
" -
@DW01 It is actually good for breathing when you attack or get hit. Think of lifting weights...on a really heavy lift, you exhale pretty forcefully over the period of exertion. The kiai helps to make sure you're exhaling instead of holding your breath or inhaling during the short, sudden exertion. I agree with you, though, a lot of schools just sort of put kiai everywhere, like when they just get into a stance to start a drill, and then it's just shouting for no reason.

He is moving the pad up and down at a rhythm. This develops endurence. Not timing. For timing you need to stop.. then all of a sudden move the pad and have the student react to it. This will develop inicial speed and timing. In competition timing and reaction go hand in hand. Oss

@rgs2654321 Yep, gotta agree with you there, i can't stand ridiculous screams or 'kiai', just no need for it. Some say it's for breathing, some for effect, and other say it's to scare the attacker... I personally think it's uncalled for and a good shot should drop the opponent anyway/
the guy doing the punching does not have good form. looks like he is reaching and off center. not good. the drill is ok but not the guy doing it.

I would not teach people to lean forward like that!
