if i keep that routine for three minutes no stress can keep on because i have to control i have to integrate motion and phys in in movement breathing and movement together and as i start to play on this nothing can be like i cannot thinking about oh the time to travel i have to go to san diego tomorrow i have to give my daughter whatever it is you have to refresh it because the way you breed you can really clean your mind the way you breed you can lower your heart rates for fighting for example i was doing like i get an event three hours before the event my fight so i go to the locker room sleep for hour and a half hour 40 minutes by will i just breathing my relaxed breathing i can sleep deeply wake up one hour before the fight mourn myself up for 45 minutes putting my heartbeat my heart rates to 160 140 to really break the sweat and make sure i’m cool and then sit for five minutes and bring my heart rate to 6500 heartbeats a minute so i was deeply raw hot ready to go with my heartbeat so i see my other opponent in the other side of the ring jumping around he’s already 85 90 so when i engage i engage not to to to make some kind of nice uh rhythm i try to to improve press the gas and let’s go for power so we do everything we can do so if i’m struggle you cannot rest you have to keep up with me so when i’m 80 you 110 when i’m 110 150 when we’re 100 when i’m 150 you’re already trying to i had a heart attack yeah so you start to regroup and start seeking for air and that’s time normally where mistakes happen and i really make the close the deal so breathing become my best friend not only to control my emotions to keep my my my heart rate and the best performance to recoup so to be controlling panic controlling emotions become calm to strategize everything coming from this capacity within to control yourself by breathing so i felt like was a great addition to my my practice and makes a huge change in my life this is something that i i connected the dots on a few years ago because people would ask me i would say listen when things are going bad you have to stay calm you have to you have to learn how to you know control your emotions and and don’t get all excited about something when things are going wrong and people would say well you know how do you do it and one of the things that i realized that i would do is so in the military you know you have a radio with you and when you when you talk on the radio everybody can hear you and in the military it’s very frowned upon if you get on the radio and you are emotional if you scream help over here if you panic like this so every time i ever talked on the radio my goal was to never sound panicked never sound emotional no matter what was going on sound very calm and cool so that means whenever things were going crazy and i was about to have to get on the radio what would i have to do i had to breathe i had to take a breath and so it’s the same thing it’s just that something that i was doing so that i could you know i’d be oh there’s got stuff going on right okay i’m about talking radio hey this is jocko we need about 10 more guys down at this building right now and that me taking control of my of my breath also would help me get into a controlled emotional state where i’m not losing my mind yes that’s very powerful from jiu jitsu yes because you know the the the breathing system or because you stay seven days without food you stay three days without water five minutes without oxygen is already dead yes so the efficiency of the breeding system is very needed and people take this for granted they don’t oh i i i born i get slapped on the butt and you’re alive and well and you can live like if you don’t train in breathing it’s like your biceps it’s like your your your strategies your techniques your if you don’t train in the breathing system you’re going to work with 40 percent less the capacity capabilities to really refresh yourself hyperventilate bringing yourself to a next level of understanding because if you get tired and you don’t know how to hyperventilate you get tired and your mind starts to face to fade a little bit you start to making poor decisions you start to get completely off your game because it’s no oxygen enough for the brain and the in the body but if you know how to hyperventilate you can have cramps that’s the lattice all over you cannot even move well very tired but your brain is too sharp you can see details you can see the girls smile at you you can see the super bowl you can see everything you want to see and talk because your brain is still fresh and that’s the capacity you have to learning how to hyperventilate and use the diaphragmatic breathing which improve improves your life like a tone
