ShaolinNinja hates silicone bubishi Registered: 10/09/05 Posts: 301 Loc: Ireland	Does anyone practice holding their breath for long periods of time? I've done a little freediving, during which time I practised holding my breath, and my time up to over three minutes. I was wondering if it has other benefits or if it's practised in any systems? _________________________ The world's a will to power and nothing besides
