This is a short video on Vital Breath.
As explained by Ernest Rothrock this is a
special breathing routine to develop the internal dynamics.
I used to do this routine 3 times a day.
When done correctly, you’ll be totally exhausted after
your performance of the form.

This was the first of 3 different levels of breathing.
Years later Ernie told me that Daniel Pai
once had him spent a year on this form.
One time I talked Ernie into showing me the 2nd level of breathing.
He consented and showed me how to do the first movement
with that breathing method.
I attempted it and immediately got a very strong stitch in my side.
Abandoning the attempt, and I immediately forgot how it was done.
The form is the Pai version of Goju Tensho,
Pai at one time taught Goju.
