Jiu Jitsu Apnea

Came across something called Email apnea. When opening up emails people can get anxious and not very self aware. Studies have found changes in respiration, pulse rate, and brain activity. Anticipation of what's in emails or texts leads to spontaneous breath holding

So made me think of high anxiety moments when I stopped breathing properly or have shallower breaths like while trying to finish a submission on a bigger sized partner, clinching(standing or ground), picking someone up, when new people have someone on top of them, getting flurried on with punches or lifting heavy weight, etc.

Found this breathing monitor(https://spire.io/) you can wear all day that track your breathing. Not sure if this would work while doing jiu jitsu because of all the movement and not sure if it can get wet or not. Maybe something similar could be made specifically for contact sports with grappling or striking, if the original wouldnt already work

Maybe if you looked back at video time to see what was happening during the lowest breath rate times and work on breath awareness during those times


Would love to know of other possible ideas for dealing with jiu jitsu apnea if anyone can think of any

No way. You find the craziest stuff.

Wtf :-)

Interesting parallel to draw. I like the term "jiujitsu apnea"; it's more polite than "being a fucking spaz".

Breathing is incredibly important. Many years ago, I had a horrible problem gassing out fairly early in matches. Part of it is that I was an oversized gorilla relying on a feeble human respiratory system, and part of it was that I would clench my jaw and fail to breathe. My solution was to start chewing gum while rolling. Sounds weird, but it really helps me remember to relax and take even, unhurried breaths (lest I suck the gum into my windpipe). On the downside, I've always worried that it makes me look like a cocky douche à la Iceman in Top Gun.

Orchard just talked about chewing gum at his seminar and talked about how it kind of kept him in the zone. There was actually a study done recently that showed chewing gum increased performance in athletes. I tried it over the last week and I actually felt a little more flow when rolling. I'll try to find the article, maybe baseball players have been on to something for a while?

Here it is

Michael Jordan chewed gum during games. Here is a pick from a lecture in one of my recent threads. Shows how biting down alters brain function

Shows increased activity in the Cerebellum. Increase and decreases depending on mouth guard thickness

Just found this article looking up M Jordans gum chewing. The Washington Wizards have a gum cabinet because Jordan use to chew all the time for free throws or something. You guys got me seriously wondering about chewing gum while grappling now. Just wonder if people are chewing while they have a mouth-guard in

Washington Wizards gum cabinet. Gum is a staple in a lot of NBA locker rooms, but apparently the Wizards gum game is particularly strong.

Jordan chewed gum during games because he believed in a study that showed chewing gum helps the mind concentrate.

Thanks, guys! I no longer have to feel like I'm being a prick now that I know Orchard and MJ do it.

I never wear mouthpiece or cup when grappling, because you never know when you might need to bite or rape somebody.

LOL. Might still look like a prick chewing gum, but not feeling like one is definitely way more important and controllable :)

Found this gem a little while ago. MC10 is a company making wearable monitoring devices and is very sports optimization focused. One is a head trauma impact sensor cap thing and the other is like a wearable tattoo(bio stamp) that monitors things in the body

"Bio skin" goes on like a temp tattooo but no adhesives. Supposed to work like a geckos feet

The "Reebok Checklight" head impact sensor cap for all sports that deal with hits to the head. Boxing, football, hockey, etc
