Hi,

Breathing is a important for martial art like Qi Gong and Taijiquan am I right? I would like to know which is the best breathing method as normal people inhale through nose and exhale through mouth right, those who learn internal art will inhale and exhale through nose right.

I have research on that normal healthy breathing method is inhale through nose for 5 secs and exhale through mouth for 5 secs, maybe thats western way, but I search on Yoga type, there is a lot of breathing method, eg. inhale and exhale through nose, inhale through mouth exhale through nose and other mixture.

So please share which is the correct breathing method for eg. normal human, ppl who is martial artist, yoga etc. that you guys use. Sorry for my poor english. Thanks in advanced
