On Breathing Patterns
1 Part Lesson -- Marcelo expounds upon breathing, tempo and rhythm: Your respiration during a match must match the pace of the fight. When trying to pass your opponent's guard, raise the pace and caught your breath once you've closed the distance somewhat and make headway towards solidifying top control. When escaping a bad position, you must not over exert yourself in spurts; find a timing that you can endure but also make progress in defense. Practice taking different volumes of breath when rolling with your partners and cultivate a sense of when to change things based on the state of your position.
