A Tai Chi Question + an Eagle Claw roll call - 06/28/05 09:38 AM
Hey guys...
I was curious if anybody else out there studies Eagle Claw? I just got back into it after some injuries and am loving every minute of it. Truthfully, at my current (limited) level of knowledge it is probably more of basic technqiues that lay the foundation. Occasionaly we get to see some of the advanced locks and such. Basically, i was just wondering how many others train / have trained in this form.
secondly, i had a brief tai chi question. i had also started learning the yang style prior to injury and have resumed training in this as well. But I always seem to run out of breath halfway through. Does this go away over time or is there something i can do to actively increase its longevity?
(Because of my really bad nut allergies, i had previously studied different breathing techniques and learned abdominal breathing only through my nose. When i stand still i can inhale slowly down to my abs and watch them expand with a decent amount of air, but the minute i add even the gentlest of motion to it, my capacity shrinks by half or more)
any thoughts/suggestions/comments greatly appreciated...
Thanks,
Ed
