Raise your arm high above the head so your chest is all stretched and take a deep breath in. Hurts like h@!! but recovery is quicker like if you are in a fight and can't take time out for a minute or two.
Sometimes I will take a student who has gotten hit and lift them up to get more stretch in the chest or if I can't lift them bend them backwards a bit to catch their breath.
This is what you do... ready? Best answer I can give based off of experience. Ab work ab work ab work! If your fighting I would do anywhere from 300-500 sit ups a day, plank, you will develop a turtle shell, train your whole body an Eat right .
does it just heal itself or do you have to do some breathing?
