The importance of breathing in Martial Arts

Have you ever thought about breathing? Many people do not give a second thought to, and why should they? We are not here to give it a second thought. And 'one of those machines that know our unconscious, we would be useless to ourselves, if we were left with the responsibility. So it is with us and very good.

Breathing is extremely important, and I speak not only to keep alive here. I'm talking about the effect canhave on our mood, our sense of balance and our efficiency in our practice martial arts.

Breathe in the way we are able to directly influence the way we perceive the world around us and can also help us, our body states and feelings that you could eat on the run, to see if there are other.

Modern martial arts classes tend to put less emphasis on breathing exercises instead of going all out for physical training. What a sad, but since the government won about our inner states and emotions can bring all sorts of advantages, not only for our martial art, but for our lives. More tolerance for distractions, discipline andthe stronger all the possible side effects of regular physical activity. The ultimate goal is self-control in the highest sense. As the great Lao-Tzu is often with the words: "He who controls others may be powerful ... but he, the boss is quoted even more powerful."
