As much as I love Rickson and his passion for the breath, he gives a very very dangerous advise: to hyperventilate before diving. As a freediver and breathworker, i need to stress that this will lead to shallow water blackouts. You do not get more oxygen in, but you expel more CO2, which stops you from getting the urge to breathe. You will not get the urge to breath and you blackout. This often results in death unless you have someone rescue you. Never ever hyperventilate when diving. If you want to push your limits, learn to get comfortable with contractions and the urge to breathe.
You’re right. I’ve made a few comments, but people should know, this is not how humans truly breathe. This is dysfunctional, detached nose breathing he is describing. Like Wim Hof. Like you said, it might be better to just hold your breathe, as it’ll shoot signals to your diaphragm, which can help with proprioception and engagement. A diaphragm breathe can be a very hard concept once the muscle is lightly atrophied. All of us who can do deep diaphragm breathes know it’s not as simple as these guys make it out to be. All he’s doing in this video are shallow nose breathes.
Right on brother. As a freediving instructor and athlete, this is the worst thing he could have said about breathing. I've made a comment on this video as well but people dont seem to bother. This is how you blackout underwater. I wonder if Joe Rogan knew he was talking bullshit. Should have reacted.
Is it possible that to hyperventilate and get rid of all the CO2 can help you stay longer comfortably but you should not push your limits because you could black out is that a fair statement? I'm just wondering if that's what he meant and if you free diver types agree with that logic but it just allows someone to stay longer without that panic feeling and you guys are saying but be very careful you don't stay too long because you could pass out.
@@TS-xj5mt on dry land yes you can try hyperventilation cause when you black out on your bed or on the floor you will just wake up again. no worries. but under water you'll be dead. The thing with hyperventilation is that the blackout can come without any warning. So there is no such thing as "i'm not pushing my limits". You'll be dead before you know it. So it is the worst advise ever to give to a newbie who wants to try out breathholding underwater.
Big facts! Back in 2019 I was hospitalized for a while. I had stage 3 cancer and pulmonary embolism at the same time. I was stressed, felt toxic and miserable. One thing kept me going was my breathing exercise and mental relaxation. I notice while in ICU my stressed out thoughts was increasing my already fast beating heart. I let all negative thoughts go and became at peace with the universe. It wasnt easy by I prevailed!
I was looking for this comment although I actually really love the sound of it lol it makes me feel like I understand Portuguese 🤣 it’s also super musical
So simple yet so important This video will have a big impact on a lot of people. Diaphramatic breathing and deep exhalation Are essential for stressful situations.
Pull in at the diaphragm/inside your body. If you feel yourself sucking in at the top of nose only; dysfunctional breathing. Look at this man, I can see he’s not a truly proper breather. He’s doing dysfunctional nose breathing. Like Wim Hof. Look at any Wim Hof video, he does not remember and has not trained proper diaphragm breathing for years. He’s trained a type of tunnel vision breathing. You suck inside the chest, and it pulls from the top of the nose by default. The nose is at the top of your breathing system, not at the forefront of it. It takes practice, good health, good posture, some luck, and the ability to finally let go belief of how you are as a body. A proper diaphragm breathe is jarring. If you do a diaphragm breathe and it feels easy, very likely you’re doing it wrong. Do not do what this man says, the upper body/singular nose breathing is dysfunctional lung compensatory breathing alone. He has lost view of proper breathing, regardless of his physical feats and activities. You can be very active and still be a dysfunctional breather. It can be many things together, but mainly, the diaphragm is the vital piece to all the vivid ways we can breathe. Do not hyperventilate. You train your diaphragm, relaxed, deep breathing, it will coast you along through life. It gets so deep that it pulls compensatory neck muscles, which I’ve found studies confirming compensatory neck muscles participate in deep diaphragm breathing. A deep diaphrgam breathe takes time, and it always feels like work. It doesn’t feel like a normal breathe when your diaphragm pulls down, sucks air into your lungs through your nose, and you let go and it automatically brings air out if you do it right. Trust the younger people who are actually connected to their breathing and are honest. I’ve spent far more time on this, and been honest with myself in all ways about this, people like this are not truly functional breathers. Most of your talking and breathing you will feel in your chest once the diaphragm continually gets exercise. It’s a separate muscle. Once it is atrophied, like it does with all of us, you need to spend time getting it back into view, and the world becomes a very vivid place once the breathing system is back into posture. It will never feel natural to take your beginning diaphragm muscle movements to breathe. It fights you, trembles and feels unegageable at times, and it gets easier and easier as it pulls downs, trembles, and gets stronger. You need to do it alone or in a enclosed space because it can be guttural and not pleasant to look at or do. You can also just try it at intervals throughout the day. I would never turn someone in the wrong direction. I know this to be true, and objective. Looking at this man, he doesn’t know how to take a truly deep diaphragm breathe anymore.
I’m 35 years old now. I been training (recreationally) since the age of 18. It’s so cool to Listen to him talk about the exhale part of our breathing. I’ve learned to control my breathing on my own just to try and run faster for a longer period of time etc etc. it’s really cool to hear this man put it into words and to sit back and be able to say… hey I do that! Lol it probably sounds stupid the way I’m saying it but very cool 👌🏼
please never ever hyperventilate before diving - I am an apnoe freediver - thats how swimming pool black outs are happening and people are falling unconscious without noticing and then drowning... Hyperventilation lowers the CO2 in the blood, The body does not track the O2 in the blood, it only has sensors for CO2 concentration (acidity of the blood). If the CO2 concentration is getting higher then a certain point the dive reflex kicks in and you feel the urge to breathe. If you have lowered your CO2 so much through hyperventilation, you might not get to that point where you notice you need to breathe and you run out of O2 before that point - making you fall unconscious without noticing. Please get adapted to the urge of breathing and train to relax into that, but never hyperventilate for a dive - unless you are on a specific training schedule with a qualified buddy in apnea freediving sports.
Thank you for mentioning this. I just started free diving for about a year now and immediately was triggered as soon as Rickson mentioned about hyperventilating helps breath hold in diving. I really hope your comments gets noticed about this for the SAKE OF EVERYONE'S SAFETY!
Wasn’t his point not to hyperventilate, but to slightly hyperventilate before diving? 🤣 Anyhow. The technique is super dangerous, but in fact it refuses the amount of carbon dioxide in your blood and increases the cerebrospinal fluid.
So how exactly do I increase dive time. If I am not to hyperventilate . What is the best way to slow heart beat and increase my under water time to 3 -5 mins
I'm getting older and realizing more and more how correct he is. Proper heart health, cardio, and breathing better than you normally do are SO important.
My first time rolling live in BJJ, I held my breath the entire time. Afterwards, I felt like I had gotten hit by a truck. After each class, I asked for feedback, and the professors all said the same thing, "Breathe." This is incredible advice.
As some one who grew up with severe Asthma, learning to breath correctly and doing BJJ helped me tremendously. I went from running out of breath completely with Just 5mins of exercise and feeling like I was suffocating, to being able to run 3miles and roll 3X5 rounds without stopping! The first time I ran that 1st Mile, it was super I’m emotional for me. My son is in wrestling and football, and I always teach him the importance of breathing properly for quick recovery and explosiveness. BJJ changed my life.
@@adamhodgson8287 like he explained in the video, you have to get used using all of your lungs when you breath. Blow all the air out your lungs until their nothing left then take all the breath in until you feel it fill up the bottom of your lungs not just the top. You do this for time/repetitions every day as an exercise. Then you practice doing that during actual exercise start with easy cardio exercise also for time. Your lungs and heart are muscles so you can and have to strengthen them. You have to do this every day. At first I started for just 5min and just keep working every day to beat my own time. It took months for me to see and feel the actual difference. It took me a year to finally get to 1mile. But once I did it pretty much rapidly my time started increasing after that in everything I did. The first 3months its going to suck its after the 6month that your body finally starts adjusting. Its basically like a baby thats never used their legs. Your going to fall and want to give up, but dont let your self give up. By the time you realize it you will be running full sprints too!!! I believe in yall! ❤️🙌
@@adamhodgson8287 Now where BJJ comes into this... What asthma does to you as you already know, it gives you anxiety when it hits you. What BJJ teaches you is to relax and breath through the pressure. It teaches you to stay calm through adversity. Alot of our Asthma issues are caused not only by the elements but also through Anxiety. So when you can control your breathing and your Mind, those two things combined, changes everything! Yall got this! 🙌💪💪
This guy is an absolute treasure, I wish I could have trained with him, Had a very short experience training session with his brother, and you can immediately tell that the amount of focus on the most simplistic things is everything these people, funny how people dont put him the Mount Rushmore mma, I feel he's so much more important than the credit he gets today, to me he is Brazilian jiu-jitsu, the champion of the family,
I had a chi kung (which I believe translates to something like 'breathing training') book since I was a kid that talked right about this. The first thing was to teach how to get the habit of breathing with the diaphragm muscle. Specially men are conditioned to puff up the upper chest and hide their flaccid belly, which is a horrible habit for your breathing. With time, the diaphragm gets weak and rigid, with shorter movement range. It makes so the lower, deeper part of the lung don't get as much oxygenation as it could. I don't remember much of the "advanced" techniques the book told about in chi kung, but those basic breathing techniques and exercises helped me all along my life.
Somewhat related: I had a kidney transplant decades ago. I quit anti-rejection drugs early on due to my fear of their side effects. In addition to proper diet and exercise, the only other thing Ive consistently done over the years is breathe and meditate while visualizing my kidney getting stronger and healthier. I honestly have no idea if I'm simply lucky, and I don't suggest other people in similar situations trying my method, all I can say is that I suspect that the mind-body relationship is much more powerful than we think.
I personally know the man who taught Rickson yoga and he is a true master. Most people think Yoga is just physical posturing and stretching, but it's more than that except very few people know and understand the spiritual aspect through abdominal breathing, meditation. I learned this in a very similar way through my Kung fu master who is friends with Orlando Cani. I suffer from major depression and without that knowledge my self control through very hard moments would be even harder and I would probably not be alive right now.
Ive been a soldier and defense contractor for 6years and this was the simplest and best explanation of energy conservation and breathing ive ever heard.
all the coolest breathing videos have weirdly come up in my feed today, ive watched many and this one is really good at explaining the practical aspect for those who need to see it that way if it helps, and another shit hot one is a ted x talk by joe distefano called breathe
This is good therapy for anyone who has panic attacks and loses their breath. You can head off panic attacks just with your breathing. It is better than any anti anxiety medication.
I just finished reading this Man's book. I had no prior knowledge of him. I learned more in that single book, about life, than any other book. Genius -
I've been waiting for this podcast for five years. I don't even know if I want to listen to it, or just keep the conversation the way I imagined it going.
When you meditate or just sit still & listen to your breathing, you start to realize that that is the only thing keeping you alive. It’s there every moment of your life till the end.
Freediving instructor here. Rickson's explanation of hyperventilation is completely misleading and dangerous. Please do not try to hold your breath underwater after hyperventilating. The purpose of hyperventilating is to decrease the amount of CO2 in your blood. While this will delay contractions (the urge to breathe) while holding your breath, it also prevents hemoglobin from releasing oxygen into your tissues (Bohr Effect) which means you will pass out. If you want to hold your breath for 3+ minutes you can safely do it with a bit of practice without needing to hyperventilate.
YES!! Exactly this. Hyperventilation is dangerous in freediving (and DOES NOT increase oxygen saturation as he suggested). It is not taught among freedivers or in any reputable freediving education today.
I know nothing amount this but could he have meant that he hyperventilates for a bit and then also does his regular deep breathing exercises before diving?
Hey Man, thank you for this post. After hearing so many different versions of proper breathing, can you share with us your opinion? Is Wim Hof a trustable source to improve your every day life through his techniques for example? Thank you in advance and have a nice day!
I see now why Joe gives the Gracies so much respect. As they say it’s the simplest things that are the hardest. Breathing is so simple you don’t even have to think about it. Yet if you could control it, you could control your life.
God damn! I never realized this, to first breathe everything out and then the fresh air can come in. What a refreshing way of putting it, Mr. Rickson. Thanks for the tip!
Not only does hyperventilation decrease the amount of oxygen available to you during your breath-hold, it also decreases your awareness of the urge to breathe. ... This, in short, is why the number 2 rule for freediving safety (after never dive alone), not to mention freediving performance, is “Never Hyperventilate”.
Hes not freediving though so in this case hyperventilating is to calm the nervous system and enables you to exhale in such a controlled manner that the very moment you begin to inhale again its to full capacity from that point on you cease hyperventilation and switch to slow and deep breaths
I feel like I should be in a TP smoking a peace pipe listening to this Dude spit wisdom high as a kite....I mean it's the vibe I got along with all that breathing stuff.

Amazing man. Such a legend!.I am excited to watch. He is on the ball about breathing. Had to 'learn' myself as I developed anxiety. Such an easy idea but quite a lot of people still don't know. Glad I relearned. Best wishes all.
I feel like a prayer was answered, I’ve recently started studying breathing, and was thinking recently how cool it would be if Joe Rogan could interview Rivkson Gracie and have him talk about some things. And next thing you now just like that it appeared. This was amazing I can’t wait to listen to the whole interview. I’m soo excited this was awesome! Thanks and many prayers to both of these men!
Another fascinating excellent interview. fifty years ago my father used to tell me you have to learn to breathe through your stomach. I never paid attention, I have just learned why! Thank you!
The bro science version of explaining breathing is semi-automatic. Your body processes are in sync, so if you take control of your breathing, you can control your body. The military and police use that method to stay calm and control their adrenaline in a stressful situation. Simply do a 5-5-5, breathe in for five seconds, hold for five seconds, and breathe out for five seconds. Everything else is adding personal layers that are entirely subjective.
Yea I realized my breathing dramatically changed when focused and under fight or flight. Breathing helps with how fast I can move and how many hits can go out before I need to take a 2nd breath. And by the time I'm done breathing out on offense I'm regaining my breath when moving defensively and calm,at the same time calmly looking at openings. You see fighters like Anderson silva do the same. He is calm and regaining breath when dodging hits.youll even see his hands down to limit energy use and provide more movement with less effort. Breathing is a technique that key to everything. (Learn how your body asks for air with each movement)
Everybody gangsta smoking pod and drinking whiskey until Master Rickson Gracie shows up… I don’t blame Joe, you don’t need “those” when your guest is that fascinating. I could listen to this for days and never get tired… simply amazing. The best guest for the best show.
This comment reminds me of the Ender’s Game series. In one of the book, a planet is colonized by Brazilians and they encounter an alien race that they name the “Pequeninos” (“little ones” in Portuguese).

I don't remember much of the "advanced" techniques the book told about in chi kung, but those basic breathing techniques and exercises helped me all along my life.
Somewhat related: I had a kidney transplant decades ago. I quit anti-rejection drugs early on due to my fear of their side effects. In addition to proper diet and exercise, the only other thing Ive consistently done over the years is breathe and meditate while visualizing my kidney getting stronger and healthier. I honestly have no idea if I'm simply lucky, and I don't suggest other people in similar situations trying my method, all I can say is that I suspect that the mind-body relationship is much more powerful than we think.
everyone: i know how to breathe
JRE: no sir🤣
😂😂😂😂
Look up
Joe Rogan gets mad at Alex Jones
It’s hilarious! 😡 😂
Last time I saw this guy he was literally helping the Incredible Hulk learn to breathe!
Dr Huberman does a wonder job explain this in detail in his podcast
Which one??
He smart
I personally know the man who taught Rickson yoga and he is a true master. Most people think Yoga is just physical posturing and stretching, but it's more than that except very few people know and understand the spiritual aspect through abdominal breathing, meditation. I learned this in a very similar way through my Kung fu master who is friends with Orlando Cani. I suffer from major depression and without that knowledge my self control through very hard moments would be even harder and I would probably not be alive right now.

Breathing right is probably the most important overlooked thing in our life. Rickson is SPOT ON.
Rickson is a living legend... excited to hear this full episode!
yeahhh i'm heading over to spotify now.
Same
Kasushi Sakuraba is the legend.. The Gracies are a bunch of fakes who would always fight with special rules and still lose...

Such a simple concept, but extremely effective!

Don't be to amaze his a pothead

@@EncyclicalPrograms All we can do is pray and wait on God's perfect timing to open Joe's eyes. That will be an epic podcast.
Ive been a soldier and defense contractor for 6years and this was the simplest and best explanation of energy conservation and breathing ive ever heard.
all the coolest breathing videos have weirdly come up in my feed today, ive watched many and this one is really good at explaining the practical aspect for those who need to see it that way if it helps, and another shit hot one is a ted x talk by joe distefano called breathe
Thanks for the referral. I checked it out, and it was great!
Same here! Thanks for more breathing knowledge!
Be sure to check out Breathcast, lots of interviews with top breath experts 🙏
This is good therapy for anyone who has panic attacks and loses their breath. You can head off panic attacks just with your breathing. It is better than any anti anxiety medication.
Speaking of breathing, let's get Thomas Sowell on the podcast while he's still alive and breathing. He's 90+ years old. Get him on please!
An old conservative economist/social theorist.
Gosh, I wonder what his views on taxes are.
He can tell you what's wrong with poor people, while offering nothing to reign in the corruption of the rich. 👏👏👏
Sowell would be a great guest on here.
@@PlayNiceFolks Haven't actually read or listened to much of his work have you?
I like how you swung that! Well done.
Rickson: starts talking about breathing
Me : „starts breathing heavily“
the outro is so much more soothing without the peddling. now i'd be more open to actually go visit spotify.
Strong agree. Those old ads for Spotify are obnoxious, the way he was yelling loudly at us. This is so much better.
I just finished reading this Man's book. I had no prior knowledge of him. I learned more in that single book, about life, than any other book. Genius -
I've been waiting for this podcast for five years. I don't even know if I want to listen to it, or just keep the conversation the way I imagined it going.
Totally agree. Running helped me learn how to breathe efficiently. Without proper breathing technique, good endurance is hard to come by.
I switched to manual breathing once I read the title lmao
When you meditate or just sit still & listen to your breathing, you start to realize that that is the only thing keeping you alive. It’s there every moment of your life till the end.
Yeah breathing’s pretty important. The sooner you learn the better.
I love you so much
@@creativeape8994 Go back to digging ditches, or whatever generic, pointless job they give you "creative" types.
my mother taught me when I was a kid for fighting off severe anxiety.
I dont have that anymore so yep it indeed works.
@@renclave lol well said
Tomi what did she exactly teach if i may ask.
I used the exhallation in my bjj class tonight. I got so much less winded. It made an immediate difference! Thanks Rickson!
Freediving instructor here. Rickson's explanation of hyperventilation is completely misleading and dangerous. Please do not try to hold your breath underwater after hyperventilating. The purpose of hyperventilating is to decrease the amount of CO2 in your blood. While this will delay contractions (the urge to breathe) while holding your breath, it also prevents hemoglobin from releasing oxygen into your tissues (Bohr Effect) which means you will pass out. If you want to hold your breath for 3+ minutes you can safely do it with a bit of practice without needing to hyperventilate.
YES!! Exactly this. Hyperventilation is dangerous in freediving (and DOES NOT increase oxygen saturation as he suggested). It is not taught among freedivers or in any reputable freediving education today.
I know nothing amount this but could he have meant that he hyperventilates for a bit and then also does his regular deep breathing exercises before diving?
If you are not being interviewed by Joe Rogan then I don't care what your credentials are. ..jk
Was looking for this comment thank you, this is really wreckless and shouldn't be promoted
Hey Man, thank you for this post. After hearing so many different versions of proper breathing, can you share with us your opinion? Is Wim Hof a trustable source to improve your every day life through his techniques for example? Thank you in advance and have a nice day!
I've been holding my breath for over 20 years. Thank god I found this video.
I see now why Joe gives the Gracies so much respect. As they say it’s the simplest things that are the hardest. Breathing is so simple you don’t even have to think about it. Yet if you could control it, you could control your life.
God damn! I never realized this, to first breathe everything out and then the fresh air can come in. What a refreshing way of putting it, Mr. Rickson. Thanks for the tip!
Not only does hyperventilation decrease the amount of oxygen available to you during your breath-hold, it also decreases your awareness of the urge to breathe. ... This, in short, is why the number 2 rule for freediving safety (after never dive alone), not to mention freediving performance, is “Never Hyperventilate”.
Exactly. I hope everyone sees this so they don't try to hyperventilate before a dive. This can be very dangerous, especially for a beginner
So glad Spotify doesn't have comments so stuff like this never gets challenged (unless it happens to get clipped)
I wonder why no one ever corrected him before
But that doesn't change the fact that you can hold your breath longer.
Hes not freediving though so in this case hyperventilating is to calm the nervous system and enables you to exhale in such a controlled manner that the very moment you begin to inhale again its to full capacity from that point on you cease hyperventilation and switch to slow and deep breaths
Its amazing his embracing his broken body. It gave me much comfort. What a legend.
I feel like I should be in a TP smoking a peace pipe listening to this Dude spit wisdom high as a kite....I mean it's the vibe I got along with all that breathing stuff.
I found out a powerful breathing technique to go into thoughts and be with myself. Gracie's wisdom is light
Just your daily reminder that Mckenzie Dern speaks with a thicker accent than Rickson even though she's born and raised in the US.
is normal

Incredible lesson. So simple to clearly understand. Gracie says in a few words what others would take days to say and yet not fully explain.
He's a wise man,the Gracie family have changed the combat sport in many aspects
And they're still cashing in.

Major kudos on cleaning up that Spotify ad at the end. 👍So much better.

Blessed to have the Gracie family around.

So excited about Rickson Gracie's documentary on Netflix. Heard the news a long time ago and been wondering ever since
Rogan, dude you fucking rock man!
Your name lmao!
Proud to be a brazillian. Thank u Ricson.
It's not about the AMOUNT of breaths in life, it's about the DEPTH.
Already been the most important part in the REAL YOGA here in India.
He is talking about 'kapalbhati' , 'bhastrika'.... PRANAYAM
I learned about “breathing into your balls” from Eliot Hulse years ago, good stuff.

Been watching lots of videos with Wim Hof. Thankful for this recommendation
This is so awesome. I wonder if it's the same as Kundalini and Wim Hof breathing.
Different type of breathing for different results
The Hyper-ventilation part is indeed a part of the Hof Method.
It's all breath. All does the same thing. Air goes in, air goes out. The rest is to do with the thinking and the consciousness.
I've just started to learn how to control my mind and heart rate and body through my breathing this last mth. What a world of difference. Thanking for the info Mr Gracie.
How brother?
The wingspan of a 747 is longer than the Wright brother's first flight.
Facts.
Wow! Almost twice as long. I had no idea.
Your profile pic and name is randomly hilarious! Lol!
This changed my life. I knew it before long ago. He is telling the truth
Makes a lot of sense. A lot of wisdom from this old cat.
Just had surgery..landed on this video. Thank you JR!
Amazing man. Such a legend!.I am excited to watch. He is on the ball about breathing. Had to 'learn' myself as I developed anxiety. Such an easy idea but quite a lot of people still don't know. Glad I relearned. Best wishes all.
Bore off, sympathy hunter
@@bountyhuntermk2520 just off to bed, hope you rest also. Thanks for the giggle. Be well.
Listening to this has been a breathe of fresh air 🙃
I feel like a prayer was answered, I’ve recently started studying breathing, and was thinking recently how cool it would be if Joe Rogan could interview Rivkson Gracie and have him talk about some things. And next thing you now just like that it appeared. This was amazing I can’t wait to listen to the whole interview. I’m soo excited this was awesome! Thanks and many prayers to both of these men!
Such a POWERFUL TECHNIQUE is greatly UNKNOWN. Share it!
breathing has so many benefits yet we dont take time to actually do it right we just breath as we go
Another fascinating excellent interview. fifty years ago my father used to tell me you have to learn to breathe through your stomach. I never paid attention, I have just learned why! Thank you!
Rickson is a fucking Legend. Always was, always will be....
Couldn't agree more
Alright, calm down you saw a few videos about him and suddenly you know the guy. Just shut up dude nobody cares about your opinion
@@Cartierian you obviously cared enough to respond like a butthurt child, you should calm down instead little man lol.
I learned to breathe during a yoga class in college and it changed my life.

I love this guy. Gonna watch this whole thing on Spotify.
Me too mate i wish it wasnt on spotify because i find the app annoying. Playing videos in the background that i havent selected etc.
The bro science version of explaining breathing is semi-automatic. Your body processes are in sync, so if you take control of your breathing, you can control your body.
The military and police use that method to stay calm and control their adrenaline in a stressful situation.
Simply do a 5-5-5, breathe in for five seconds, hold for five seconds, and breathe out for five seconds.
Everything else is adding personal layers that are entirely subjective.
No good for people to breathe this way unless its is a job thing
Proper breathing has been life changing for me!
I have found this to be 100 percent true.
Yea I realized my breathing dramatically changed when focused and under fight or flight.
Breathing helps with how fast I can move and how many hits can go out before I need to take a 2nd breath.
And by the time I'm done breathing out on offense I'm regaining my breath when moving defensively and calm,at the same time calmly looking at openings.
You see fighters like Anderson silva do the same.
He is calm and regaining breath when dodging hits.youll even see his hands down to limit energy use and provide more movement with less effort.
Breathing is a technique that key to everything. (Learn how your body asks for air with each movement)
Remember guys, if she has an apple then she has a banana .
😂 how is that relevant tho
Im so glad I found this video, after 24 years I can proudly say I took my first successful breath 🙏
I can feel myself breathing better already 😂
This whole podcast is a national treasure 🤍
“We as a society need to breath but we are suffocated by the pollutants.”
They are called politicians.
A legend. Great to see the Podcast Pope JR and the Jiu Jitsu Pope RG in one space
Everybody gangsta smoking pod and drinking whiskey until Master Rickson Gracie shows up… I don’t blame Joe, you don’t need “those” when your guest is that fascinating. I could listen to this for days and never get tired… simply amazing. The best guest for the best show.
This is the type of science that propels Brazil’s prestigious space program.
Lmao
This comment reminds me of the Ender’s Game series. In one of the book, a planet is colonized by Brazilians and they encounter an alien race that they name the “Pequeninos” (“little ones” in Portuguese).
