Now why anybody would want to shoot a hawk, I don't know - usually I'm pretty stoked to see one circling high overhead....

Anyway - looking for some input from you Baduanjin practitioners out there regarding the "draw the bow" movement (2nd movement in the form usually) - how do you coordinate your breath? Do you inhale as you "draw the bow" or do you inhale first and then exhale as you draw the bow?

I've experimented a bit with both ways and found different results - but I'd like to hear from you folks out there what your experiences have been and if you have a rationale as to why you breathe in a particular way.

Here's a youtube link that shows the first two movements of the form - it's the second one... btw does anybody know who this chap is?

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller???

One,
