KungFuLuvva Posted January 17, 2003 Posted January 17, 2003 i'm starting out in wing chun and i noticed that when i try to do some of the fast chain punches i some times hold my breathe or dont breathe correctly and this makes me tired verry very fast. i was wondering if anyone could explain how to measure your breaths or has a good breathing technique while punching, kicking, ect... age:16style:wing chunDon't try to predict the outcome of a fight. just let nature take its course.
Kyle-san Posted January 17, 2003 Posted January 17, 2003 I just set a pace for my breathing while I'm doing my techniques and don't have many problems keeping it there. It's a lot of practice to get it right, though. What I do is visualize the breath entering my body through my nose and slowly starting to move running up to the top of my head and down my back until it gets to my stomach. I visualize a dark coloured ball there which the breath circles once, twice, three times and slowly changes the colour to an orange. After the third circle I let it travel back up my body and out my mouth. It's... pretty corny, but works well. Especially as a chi exercise.
