Speed Recovery Between Rounds with These Simple Breathing Tips

By PJ Nestler

I wanted to share a simple secret that all my athletes use between rounds, whether they are a mma fighter or Breathing for jiu jitsu competitor. When you practice this and it becomes second nature, you will be able to control whether you are conserving energy or maximizing output during competition. Check out the video below and give us some feedback in the comment section.

Step 1: Be conscious of your breath

Step 2: Learn to draw inhale/breath into your belly

Step 3: Focus on your breath and inhale through your nose as quickly as possible after an intense effort.

Practice, practice, practice...

When you are the heat of the moment, you are not going to think about Breathing for jiu jitsu .  The key is practice.  Just like any skill, we need to practice and create new breathing habits that we can use unconsciously.   Over time, this will become second nature and you'll use it unconsciously while you're competing.

Keep us posted on your progress!
