Just wanting to know what you guys do to regain your breath when it's been stolen during sparring. I stepped into a spinning rear kick and caught the heel full in the pit of my stomach. Have to admit it's been awhile since the last time that happened. Normally once should be enough to learn the leason, but I was going for the head shot on the instructors son. ****, he's fast.

I tried to breath normally until the spasms and pain hit me. After a couple of seconds I remembered what I was told to do. Which is to just exhale ALL the air out hard, and suck it back in threw clinched teeth just as hard. My instructor tells me dont over react and keep your composer. Dont let the other guy know he's stolen your breath. However that was out the window last night. Any advice.
