think is that after this training works it is supposed to be the correct one but despite the fact that the human body gets used to everything of course, but is it really good for health?

BREATHING IS THE FOUNDATION OF EVERYTHING

Sbn Ramón Navarro

Breathing is the Foundation of Everything The first thing to do at birth is to breathe if not there is no life and when a person starts in the martial art it is said that he was born in that martial art whatever it is only that there is a guide who tells us to take the position of attention and concentrate breathing to the lower abdomen. Then they tell us that we have to bow or salute and they show us how to do it and say that it is to show respect to the teacher. Well, that lesson not only tells us that respect is given to the teacher and what that lesson tells us psychologically that we should respect the elders, that is, our parents, but also the authority well that's another theme. It is said that in the martial artist must be able to be fast and strong. This strength is based on training but who says that this training is adequate for health? The truth I

The martial art is made to make a person better as a human being, that is why it is known that this training or learning must develop the patience of this person who practices the martial art which will form his character. Speaking of patience which is the art of waiting, it is developed through meditation. In martial art class is supposed to start and end with a meditation session but what is good meditation? It is supposed to relaxing the body and clearing the mind. Preparing one to start the class and be able to concentrate on what is going to be done. Well not really since it's to regulate your breathing. Here you learn that one should focus on is the use of your breath calmly filling up to below the navel and that area of the body in martial arts has a name but let's not go into the terminology and let's say it is a place the internal energy is saved at. This energy has a name and it depends on where that martial art is from and that internal energy is known as in KungFu it is Chi and in Japanese and Korean methods it is called Ki. This Ki must be concentrated in the DanJon and the breath must go down to below the navel were DanJon is at so the air when inhaling, it must enter through the nose and exit through the mouth if you are doing martial activity and when not then inhale and exhale should be through the nose.

Likewise, it is said that there are times when the weather changes and if you have low defenses you can get sick or get an allergy reaction to that change of weather, so when you leave a hot place to enter a cold one or vice versa so the best thing to do

This is the base position to do Dan Jeon Ho Hup Bop or Breathing exercises for the development of Ki or Vital Energy in HapKiDo.

This is the first one and it is about Attracting the Energy of Heaven to Me
