Shodo Japanese Calligraphy Demonstration - KIAI 氣合

For the calligraphy of the month of August I chose a concept known to many practitioners of martial arts: the concept of KIAI. For some KIAI, is a yell when executing a technique or strike, other wise known as a martial shout. Although some do yell when executing techniques with high energy, KIAI goes beyond a loud yell. Composed by the kanji of KI, energy, and AI, unification, KIAI can literally be translated as the harmonization of Ki energy with physical action. This harmonization can be expressed through a yell, or it can be expressed in silence through intense concentration and spiritual power. In calligraphy, KIAI is seen in the strength of the brushstrokes. Hesitation and poor KIAI is evident in calligraphy that looks sloppy and weak. When we say someone lacks KIAI, sometimes we mean he/she can't yell very loud, but most times we mean that person lack vital energy, motivation, intensity, and concentration. Ki is the universal energy of all living things, KIAI is how we harmonize and express that energy through our bodies.
