Why Belly Hardening Is Useless In Real Fight

Belly Hardening is a breathing technique to hardening the fighter’s belly so the opponent’s punch/kick won’t hurt the fighter. The fighter hold the breath and safe the air in the lung/chest, after the belly become hard/deflated then the instructor will punch/kick it.

But will it work in real fight? No!!

First, how long you can hold your breath in real fight before dying? In “Fist Of Legend” movie scene, when master Huo Ting En strike the General Fujita, the general Fujita use Belly Hardening breath to receive all Huo Ting En strikes painlessly then give him some counter strikes, but when Fujita’s breath ran out, Chen Zhen strike him immediately. In real fighting tournaments, no one can use this in real tournaments too.

Second, even if you feel any pain (or your mental reject the pain sensation/lying to yourself delusionally after listening your sensei’s delusional teaching), your blood vessel and other internal organs inside your belly won’t lie: 

Third, your opponent will aim the strikes to various targets like eye, throat, leg or even groin. Not only to your belly.

Fourth, in real street fight your opponent will use this to your belly:

Rather than wasting your times-stamina-money to learn useless technique, why you didn’t use your precious time to learn real useful techniques instead? Like Blocking or Trapping?

No wonder why most martial art schools won’t teach this. Wasting time.
