Whats more important to you in traning spiritual/internal (or internal things ie breathing and hip movement) Physical, or mental asspects. I think its Spiritual, Since in SBD hip movement is key to powrer

You're combining two disparate things. Breathing would be an internal type of thing, (Although it could be considered a physical), and hip movement would definitely be considered a physical aspect.

physical is most important ot me.

Im naturall a very passive and calm person so have little need for the calming influences.... although i find the spiritual side intersting

No hip movent is considered internal, at least in SBD i dont know about TKD

If the mind is at ease the body will follow. Mentally if you aren't there your reaction time is slower causing the physical side to suffer. Your brain is the computer that runs the show without it, you can't function. You can have a fast race car, but with no gas in it, it is a useless machine.

To answer the question: both are intertwined with each other when practicing MA.

Each one effects the others in a multitude of ways. To say one is more important than the other is like asking which wheel on a bike is more important. Remove one partway into your ride and you'll more than likely end up falling on your tukas before too long.

i disagree u can punch all day long but without proper breathing and hip movement the attak is useless

[niel0092]

I'd say punching, breathing and hip movement all fall under the "physical" category though. Try having an effective punch without the will to actually hit (mental). Your physical tech may be great but if the will isn't there your punch will suffer. Or you may not even throw the punch at all. What good is that?

breathing and hip movement are internal that means u cant see it happeneing but it is
