You don’t need to open your mouth to exhale, the air can escape through
your teeth, you don’t have to open your mouth and go AHHHH.

LOL! I’m well aware that sparring is the best type of training you can do
to prepare for a real boxing match, but the Heavy Bag builds punching
power. Every person I spar with has told me that I have lots of power in my
jabs. I’ll never stop using the heavy bag as a part of my training. I just
need to learn how to relax when sparring.

Strange same happens to me

Exhale when you need fast movements. I inhale through the nose and exhale
through the mouth. You should check out my latest guide on the site–it’s
about breathing.

Whats your opinion about the way of breathing? Should a boxer breath with
his “Chest” or “Stomach”. My coach talked about that when I was a beginner,
dont really remember it though.

Roldy

sharp exhale through the mouth happen in split second. Also, exhaling
through the mouth does not mean that you will open your mouth wide. Biting
the mouth piece softly will do. Exhaling sharply through the nose might
also cause mucus to blow out. that is not a pretty sight. LOL

Your videos are great Johnny. Some of the best instructional boxing videos
I’ve seen. They’re very easy to understand. You’re teaching the
fundamentals of boxing and making sure to hit every detail. Thanks!

Very useful , thank you alot!

hey jonny, I always thought that exhaling through the mouth when you punch
was bad as you’ll be in range and your jaw is open rather than clenched
meaning it#s more likely to get broken? what do you think?

do you inhale and exhale through your nose when your taking a rest? also
should you keep on exhaling until your punch reaches your opponent (at the
end of the punch)? or do you exhale at the beginning of a punch? thanks in
advance

Could you please prove me if im doing it right,when i punch and exhale my
breath my body helps it exhale faster while im kicking or punching is it
true

Check out my breathing technique for fighters guide on my website. It goes
much more into detail.

I breathe through my nose when I rest. I do only a quick exhale that bursts
right when my punch is released. My punches are fast so they land almost as
quickly as they come out so it feels like my exhalation happens right as
the punch is thrown. If you’re a slower puncher, then try to exhale as the
punch lands.

Exhaling through the mouth is standard practice. Your mouth should NEVER be
open in boxing. Keep your mouth closed at all times whether inhaling or
exhaling.

AGREE 100% I can go 15 three minute rounds with 30 seconds rest in between
each round while on the heavy bag, but when I spar, I’m dangerously
exhausted by the end of the second round. This is the reason I never spar
in the same gym I work out at and vise versa. It’s too embarrassing, I
don’t even want to tell the head coach. I’m certain it’s a mental thing and
will eventually go away the more I spar.

Thanks dude this really helps

It’s more of a mental thing than anything but I feel like it’s been helping
me out with my stamina. Just thought I’d give my 2 cents
