How the Gracies breath when doing Jiu-Jitsu

 

Rickson Gracie and all members of the Gracie use a special method of breathing when doing Jiu-Jitsu: Percussive breathing. This involves a normal inhalation followed by several short, sharp exhalations (saying shh, shh, shh, shh, shh). ... The deeper you breathe, the more oxygen you bring into your system.

Percussion is a manual technique used by respiratory physiotherapists to help clear the chest of secretions (phlegm). The physiotherapist will apply a rhythmical clapping motion upon the chest wall with a cupped hand to loosen the secretions from the sides of the lungs.

How to do Percussive breathing:

Inhale: Inhale deeply, using accordion breathing. Accordion breathing is lateral chest breathing. Imagine that your rib cage is an accordion. On the inhale, the accordion expands laterally, and on the exhale, the accordion squeezes back together.

Exhale: Using percussive breathing, exhale for 5 beats (saying shh, shh, shh, shh, shh).
Percussive breathing is forced exhalation using the abdominal muscles; think of forcing the air out in short percussive blows.
