I was doing punches yesterday,
upper cuts, jabs and such and I've notice I have an respiratory reflex after each push (expiatory noise), this is new, is this something to worry about? I have no other symptoms

    Happens to me too - I've never really thought about it being a problem though.

    I am quite sure that it is nothing to worry about. When in combat, when punching and kicking, exhaling while punching and kicking allow you to exert yourself with greater power, making for more powerful punches and kicks. It is your body's natural response to do this while punching. So try forcefully exhaling while uppercutting and punching and see what difference it makes. Hope this helps some!
