Astanga yoga did actually improve my performance in martial arts, as my flexibility was enhanced so that some leg locks didn’t have the effect on my knee joint so I could continue and improve my position while my opponent was spending a huge amount of energy as most people tap out and would not try to go to another technique, the breathing with constricted airflow exercises helped me to withstand chokes longer to the point that I could escape more often, getting stacked in MMA and BJJ training was not as unpleasant as my body had adapted to breathe with my lungs being compressed.
