Can you say anything about connecting with the breath? Certainly has to do with keeping a baseline of intraabdominal pressure, doesn't it? Kind of like the valsalva maneuver, but with the epiglottis open? (I may be talking BS) .. but that is what I found.

Heck man I don't know, I just try and do what they tell me too! LOL.
Also, I have learned when doing waza or BJJ you need to breath to relax and be connected...so I just do it.
The big deep breathing thing (Pranayama) I think is about developing and strengthening the secondary muscles and structure in the body. Mike Sigman talks alot about breathing and developing the suit of muscle and fascia network.
All I know is that they tell me to do it....I am doing it and I feel better and more connected and stronger when I do it.
I quess when all these guys over the years say it is important and I want to emulate them...well then...
That is about all I can really say about it. I am not very insightful sorry.
