So do you breathe?

[Andy Moynihan]

I was always taught that there is a general consensus in the MA that it is, in fact, a good idea to breathe no matter what art you study

I'm with you on this one! I used to teach horse riding many years ago and one pupil fell off her horse going round the jumps as she had taken a deep breath at the start and forgot to take anymore as she was concentrating so hard. When I started sparring in martial arts I found I was doing exactly the same thing, my instructor would shout at me to breathe as I was slowly turning blue and about to KO myself! Breathing is definitely a skill worth having!
