Re: Breathing.... How Important is it for you?

I agree with just about everything john said. Except one thing. It is the same kind of breathing. The one thing that we all do wrong is hold our breath when we exert ourselves. And this carries over into our techniques. Holding your breath is not a natural thing, It's just something that we sort of teach ourselves to do. Through breathing exercises we try to relearn how to breath properly again and it helps our technique. But it can also help us with every movement that we do all day long. Breathing correctly is an all the time thing. We just have to let our bodies do the natural thing and not let our mind bug it all up.
