Breathing

[fraidycat]

Particularly during bodyshots. I find that I'm tensing up my stomach so hard when I'm taking flurries that I can't get good air. As such, I'm gassing out really fast. The good news is, I'm not gassing out because I'm out of shape; I discovered this problem during an ab-strengthening drill today.

Any tips besides "relax?"

...jk but i know what you mean, i do the same
natural reaction? maybe its not as bad for me or maybe its just that everyone is different? i dont have a big problem with it though

How do you breathe? I have been doing diaphragm breathing -- stomach goes out when I breathe in, & in when I breathe out.

kinda hard to explain
depends on how im being punched, mostly short quick blows.


stand upp against the wall get a partner to punch you for say a minute at a time(vary between many light and fewer but harder).
