Breathing

[Espina]

That's a excellent question. I was thinking the same and I was hoping someone here could answer it.

My opinion is this: They found out that breathing was an essential part of the training process for it's different the body you build by performing aerobic excersises and anaerobic excercises. (just look how different a marathon athlete looks like and how does a world's strongest man competitor does)

So, maybe by this simple observation they realized that something regarding air was the cause...

But this is just my guess hehehehe

Yeah, it might have something to do with the tandem as well....

[Espina]

with the tandem?

Sorry, english lesson again. Is tandem like how the pilot and copilot are placed on a fighter? like one below the other?

[Traymond]

uh its something in the stomach underneath the naval. Its used for inner karate as said by many older okinawan martial artists.

[Espina]

So it's like an organ? like the diaphragm?

[Traymond]

Yes I think another word for it is your diaphram

[Espina]

Oh I see... I agree with you. Maybe it was the sum of all these things that made the ancient ones to start thinking that maybe something important happened every time you breath

[Traymond]

Yeah, to bad I couldn't have been born back then

[Espina]

I think it's pretty intuitive, don't you think? I mean... breathing is something we all do and feel bad if we stop doing it hehehehe.

True, but whats the underlying concept that they received breathing techniques such as Ibuki from Goju Ryu?. Goju and Uechi are about the same and the breathing is completely different, and Pangainoon Kung Fu their is no hoarse breathing.
