karate question

[Chris05]

What is the proper breathing when throwing punches and kicks and what is the purpose of doing splits

[jnpnshr411]

exhale when you strike and splits let you stretch.

[Menjo]

splits let you stretch, so you can kick if you have to high.

[Chris05]

how do u tight up when striked

[P.A.L]

try to stay loss all the time , hard comes right before contact then loss again , all the time loss/hard/loss this way you won't tired and you can develope concentrated power (chi).

[Jay]

breath out as you make the contact or approach the end of the move.
