The article was written by Kevin Paretti, for Kinesthesia Physio.

It's a great article; I've been trying to explain this to my friends for years. I saw Josh Barnett tweet this out yesterday, hopefully less people will get scammed.

If you wanna attack a boa of good size you're gonna wanna attack the tail first. Grab with both hands get low and drag him backwards as he tries to snap/latch. Do this for at least 20 yards always circling away from the head. As he slows you want to throw a towel or shirt over his head. Secure with both hands directly behind their jawbone and stradle as far back with your knees with base and squeeze. This prevents coiling, which intern prevents constricting.

If he bites you immediately push down and forward hard right behind his jaw then up and back. You have to rip the bottom teeth through your flesh so you can start to fight the coils. They're already happening, so address the bite, then the coils, and you'll be fine.

Trust me. I'm an astronaught.

The placebo effect has a lot to answer for and there's always some sucker willing to believe shit without good evidence and someone getting rich from that ignorance. I think most of us have fallen foul of the placebo effect at one time or another.

thats a myth

the size of your mouth allows a net weight of greater oxygen at a time into your lungs.

give me 80 dollars lol

Hahhahaa thanks Jack, I didn't search in that way info about the mask, but know you give something else to think about it.

I guess that just for a fight or encounter in high altitude will be useful if you live away from those kind of levels, I will read more about it, thanks

For sure o2 trainer, will have the same motion right??

Kinda wonder about the O2 trainer since it doesn't interfere with breathing through the nose at all it's only restricting breathing through the mouth
