hmmm.. yeah. guess an audience is just hard to please..

It's probably because of the way they see the motodachi when he/she allows the other to hit him/her (Ex. Second round of kirikaeshi ^^||). I feel that their attention were more on the ones who were in bogu. I don't think it's about the kiai...

Too peaceful already, don't realise what kiai can do... =P

yeah but when i perform at my school the first performance ppl laugh but 2nd one no one laugh.

Dunno why ppl would laugh.... maybe its the kiai, like screaming.... oh wait, kiai IS screaming.....

that shows how ignorant the publics are about Kendo

and it should be in our mission agenda to educate or at least inform the publics; before a performance with a brief backgrounder of what KENDO is about.

Why are people laughing? It's not funny at all. They're quite okay
