Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of Calling Your Attacks. But in real life, it's... kinda dumb. Also, building your ki... Yes, that's also kinda in the name "kiai", but the idea of that is very unscientific. HOWEVER! I could see a possible explanation for shouting increasing your attack power in the form of synchronized breathing. By letting out a sharp exhale in the form of a yell at the moment of the strike, I could see that as hypothetically increasing the inertial force you put out. But when my sensei explained kiai, it was as a form of intimidation to prevent conflict.
