Hello sir! I hope you're doing well. I have a question about an exercise. I see there is an exercise where you lay down on floor and have your partner sitting still on your belly. Is it an exercise for breathing?

Hi SpideyK, Sorry for the slow reply, I did not see your comment. The drill you are referring too has many possible options for learning. Getting comfortable and learning to breathe when there is pressure on the lungs is a great skill. Finding where the lung can work and avoiding panic because you cannot breathe normally is not easy and requires practise. This relates to strike absorption.
