Before practicing Liu Zi Jue and regulating breathing rhythm, one should be familiar with basic movements, and the background music without instruction, rather than that with instruction, should be adopted for better understanding. As the lung capacity and movement speed vary among practitioners, the accordance with background music also varies, so is the correspondence between movements and breathe. Above guidance of my breathing rhythm is just an individual case for your reference. Each practitioner should regulate timely based on his own condition and discovers the most appropriate rhythm to achieve best fitness effect.
