Why_Worry Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Wow that makes sense but makes no sense either from what i hav elearned. I have learn that tense muscles blocks the flow of chi, but i guess if you have it all in one spot, yoru kinda invicinble in that one spot so that is actually really useful to realize. It kidna traps the chi. Focus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaine Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Nothing, but breathing l0oudly can cause a couple of problems in a fight, although most people use them in forms and not fights, they might get mixed up and use them in a fight and all someone would have to do is time there shot to when there breathing out and then there down for the count Martial arts training is 30% classroom training, 70% solo training.https://www.instagram.com/nordic_karate/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauzin Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Uh actually I breath out loudly when I get hit hard all the time. It helps protect from and absorb impact. It's when you're breathing in that you're really vulnerable, at least as I understand human biology. I certainly wouldn't want to breath in while getting socked in the chest. The only two things that stand between an effective art and one that isn't are a tradition to draw knowledge from and the mind to practice it.

Taiji Mistress Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 I was always taught that, with the exception of internal iron shirt chi gong, all other chi gong was to be done with quiet breath.There are probably as many conflicting views on this as any other MA topic! What I always do is experiment and find what works best for me and discuss it with my teacher. Be careful of the teacher you choose as his students will be your greatest influence.

pineapple Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 It appears from the responses that I received that if I am practicing "combat" chi, I must breathe with force and if I am practicing "healing" chi, I must do it quietly. What works works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atalaya Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 during sanchin kata we are to use "hard breathing" or breathing so that you can hear the breath on the "in" and "out" phases. it definitely helps you tense your body. (sanchin kata testing involves striking various parts of the body to test "toughness")- sauzin, you may be familiar with this. (also a kiai is a forceful breath from your core that "ignites" and helps you "express" your chi- hard breathing is a smaller version of that.) some thoughts on karateKarateRanch Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giang_hu Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 I was taught not to breathe loudly since your opponent will hear it and will know how you are using your energy. I am sure there are advantages to breathing out loud, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kajukenbopr Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Some schools teach breathing extremely loudly while other schools teach controlling your breath so you can't hear it.What's the difference?Some styles belive that by exhaling using strength, you're body breathes easier and gives you brusts of energy.These burst fo strength can be learned by the body to be repeated where the techniques need to be more powerful.(so you dont need to think about when should you use strength in your technique, kata, etc)Chinese styles prefer no sound for in order to make sound just by breathing, you have to use more energy that needed, since really, the body doesnt need to make a sound to breathe naturally. <> Be humble, train hard, fight dirty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fighterdude0 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 During forms when the class was supposed to go on their own count, and not the instructor's we were always taught to breath heavily so we could stay in count by listening to eachother's breathing.
