Breath during the kumite

[alkimachos]

in my last kumite i noticed my breathing was not very good...your suggestions about breathin during the kumite.

This is VERY common, my answer may seem a little simplistic but kiai when your striking or being struck, this not only strengthens the technique but stops you holding your breath. Once you're got through the first 30 seconds or so you'll probably calm down, remember your techniques will be faster, stronger and more fluid if you relax, easier said than done though .

this comes with experience and is nothing to worry about.

Exhale when punching or kicking but try not to hyperventilate
