Ju Jitsu and Breathing


I have been able to retire from some work I was carrying out. So decided to develop a new string to my breathing physio bow. I don't know how it will go but I have found a pretty good ju jitsu club at which trainees work to their own pace taking into account their age. I will see how it goes but made a start today. I want to explore the Buteyko type breathing that some martial arts use to avoid panic and loss of power when under stress such as the grappling groundwork.

I was pretty impressed with what I saw in todays session. So looking forward to next week. I do have a background in this sort of thing but years and years ago. So best be humble now weeks from my sixtieth ... when the old boastful monkey falls from the tree he lands hardest ? (Samurai saying)
