Meditation and Kiai
The meditation at the beginning has the role of a sort of mental boundary - transition from the world to the dojo, where we concentrate on your body, which greatly diverts us from attention to the mind. And thereby we achieve extreme mental relaxation during the training. The closing meditation brings us back to everyday life, but in a slightly different manner than before training - relaxed and focused.
Kiai can be described as a battle cry that accompanies techniques in their strongest moment. It helps the flow of energy and harmonizes the movement of breath. That which we don’t let out of ourselves in everyday life, we let out here in the dojo using Kiai.
The benefits of shin karate
