Because "traditional". Some kiai in koryu have different meanings/purposes (come to think of it, just as in CMA... i remember being told about that in my CLF days)

C.J.W. wrote:Great vids and nice moves. However, as someone who's dabbled in classical Jujitsu in the past, here's my two cents:
1. There are literally hundreds of extant and extinct styles of classical Jujitsu in Japan, with each having its own unique set of techniques and combative focus and approach. It'd be erroneous, IMO, to assume that a particular technique taken from an unspecified system could be deemed representative of all classical Jujitsu styles. It'd be much better if they'd mention specifically the style from which the arm bar they show comes from just so that the viewers can be informed.
2. The rear naked choke I've seen in most classical styles, or koryu, usually involves crushing the opponent's trachea by applying direct pressure with the radial bone of the forearm (a.k.a. 'an air choke'). The idea is to damage the opponent as quickly as possible once the choke is in place -- as opposed to pressuring the carotid arteries with a blood choke and waiting for 5 to 10 seconds (if you are lucky) for them to pass out. The blood choke version of RNC, IMO, is sportive and not classical. Choking techniques involving the use of lapels, on the other hand, are the ones meant to be used MAINLY as blood chokes.
3. Blood-curdling kiai from Wushu and JMA guys always make my toes curl. Kiai is not a shouting contest, nor is it done on purpose; it's the RESULT of rapidly condensing and sinking the breath into the lower dantian for an extra burst of power (which is useful both offensively and defensively) at the moment of impact. It's like switching on the turbo/NOS in a car race for that extra "oomph" near the finish line.
