Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2008 !!!
As a karate student you will be taught to exhale strongly whilst punching, but in a Shaolin kung-fu class you will not be told to do so...If you breath loudly, your opponent will know that you are about to attack!". Which of those methods is right or wrong, I honestly do not know. More investigation is needed to be done.
In any of the above mentioned techniques, inhalation should take place through the nose and exhalation through the mouth. For instance, breathing (during kata training) should be natural, exhaling with a sharp hiss when striking. While in Kumite (or in combat), the breathing should be undetectable.
The use of abdominal breathing can reinforce the body's resolve and the ability to strike. the karate master Matsumura, who once defeated an enemy using only his kiai which is meant to express a harmony between the body and the mind, is of a great importance and to be admired...

Papi yo digo que lo que tu escribistes sobre la respiración en artes marciales tiene mucha importancia, yo lo tomo mucho en cuenta porque se que es algo bueno para ayudar a hacer mis movimientos de kata y kumite de manera mas elegante.
Intenten practicas estas tecnicas de respiración para que vean que si ayuda mucho. SUERTE !!!
hola!! papi me gusto mucho la conclucion que hicistes por que eso ayuda a las personas a saber mas sobre las tecnicas de respiracion al momento de estar en una situación de combate, entrenamiento,etc.
hola tio Samir,
Actually i don't have proper background about "kata" or "combat" but i just want to say that people ignore the importance of respiration techniques and its consequenses on the circulation of blood. Scientifically, blood moving in the right direction is directly linked to proper breathing. So alternately relating respiration to the harmonization between the body and the mind is really a nice topic to draw attention on.
Keep it up tio samir!!
Great topic!
Suzy
