How you guys breath when throwing punches

[wiso2008]

Me and a friend of mine where in a argument the order day he was telling me that everytime I trough a punch or a kick I should breath trough my Mouth....I told him that he would get tired quicker that way that he should breath trough his nose.


What you guys think let me know so I can prove him wrong.

i breath threw my mouth, thats what i have been taught you make like a huge breath and expell all your energy

ok, here's the thing. breathing through your mouth does what? opens your mouth and removes the protection provided by teeth being clinched together to brace the impact of a punch. In regards to boxing, you breath through your nose, and when punching, exhale through the mouth. Breathing through your mouth consistantly will land you a broken jaw

Yeah you dont want to leave your jaw open or else you're going to have it wired shut from a broken jaw.

Exhale when delivering or receiving a punch....

has the whole exhale when you punch thing got something to do with.. if u get countered you wont have n e wind to get knocked out of you? i think someone once told me something like that.

when i spar, i never open the mouth. not anytime.

i would say that you shouldn't focus too much on breathing out as well. it could leave you winded and tired quicker than you should be.
