This variation is generally considered non-destructive.
In general, American Kenpo forms, by default, don't have kiai's. That does not mean that one cannot nor should not add a kiai to a form. Kiai's have very practical value in defensive situations. But, they can also be used to add intensity and/or emphasis to a form and should be added, if desired.
Note: To read more about the kiai and breathing as it relates to American Kenpo refer to Infinite Insight into Kenpo - Book 4 / Chapter 3.
