Well, I still think we're saying different things..

You are saying that we should be able to use strength on inhaling or exhaling..
I'm basically sayiing that you can exhale at almost any moment.. so the chance that you actually need to use strength while inhaling should be very remote..

but it's ok, we can agree to disagree, or disagree that we agree

fair enough

Some years ago I was doing some bag work with my teacher working on striking mechanics when I turned to him and asked – What about breathing ? (Hoping for some deep insight into the mysteries of the art.) His reply was – It’s a good idea!

The point is that the key to all breathing is to do it naturally. Hung kuen works in harmony with the body. You should be able to perform any technique or form whilst breathing normally. Later on when we actively control the breath we don’t force the body to do anything unnatural we merely give it a nudge in the direction that it wants to go anyway.

So rather than training yourself to breath out when you strike or breath in when opening the chest, just let your body do what it wants to and you won’t go wrong.
