3-Advanced mechanics Ribcage Power 1 of 3

For forty years—thirty of those as a full-time professional instructor—Shrfu Bracy investigated the lost, or nearly lost, secrets of famous martial art masters. One of the most important, and easiest to learn, principles he discovered involves the use of the intercostals (ribcage) muscles. This three part series begins with definition and how to spot the use (or lack of use) of ribcage muscles in striking, throwing and other techniques. Subsequent lessons include beginning, intermediate and advanced levels of training and coordinating abdominal and intercostals muscle groups for martial art training.
