Hi,
Please explain difference between tan jon breathing excercises practiced in sin moo hapkido and traditional hapkido tan jon?
I'm practicing hapkido for 8 months but I am still a little bit confused about doing tan jon excercises. I'm not sure when to inhale and when exhale.
Below I will describe few tanjon principles and excerces and how I understand thoses excercises and maybe somebody has something to add.
1) basic (kind of a horsman) stance
2) going down - slowly inhaling (counting till 8)
3) fixed position - strain ki area (count till 8)
4) going up - slowly exhaling (counting till 8)
5) repeating steps from 2-4
Q: In this case do I need to strain my body when inhaling and exhaling? Should I breath through nose or through mouth?
another method:
1. fast inhalde (still basic stance without going down)
2. going down - exhaling (clenching teeth and making sound which appears when air flows through clenched teeth)
3. when going up - exhaling continues till I am back in beginning position
4. repeating stepts 1-3.
Thank you very much.
