This course is a focused exploration into one of the most important elements in all of our courses: breathing. The principles and techniques taught in this course come from the secrets of the Russian breath masters.

In this course you will learn to manage tension and stress in your body through various breathing techniques. The applications are literally endless and are great for all walks of life and all professions. No matter if you are a professional athlete, bodyguard, accountant or school teacher, we all deal with stress and tension in various ways throughout our daily lives. Knowing how to manage that tension is greatly enlightening.

Vladimir Vasiliev, summarizes it best in his book “Let Every Breath”:

“Not only do I begin with breathing, from the very first lesson, but I’m actually obligated to present breathing right away, to all people who train with me. If a student is not prepared with proper breathing, then no matter what other skills he has, he’s going to get burned. If you lack proper breathing, no technique will ever rescue you. Breath is also essential for endurance, depending on the amount of time involved. While a typical fight might last a few seconds or a few minutes, combat in a battle can go on for a long time. And breathing applies to everyone – not only professional soldiers or athletes. We are all challenged with stresses from all sides, every moment we’re alive. Every stress, whether psychological or physical, inhibits or interferes with breathing in some way. So we have to know how to deal with that – we have to know how to control interruptions of breathing in some way. Once stress is gone, we then have to know how to recuperate. Proper breathing breathing is the ideal way to recuperate, because our breath is always right there with us. And if you breathe properly, even before the stress begins, you create a huge energy reserve in your body. Then it becomes a lot harder to throw you off.
