Hunggar sounds works like power breathing, you'll get completely exhausted working with them. A great workout, but can be mentally and emotionally exhausting, draining.
I respectfully disagree - actually, the opposite is true. If you get exhausted, you are doing it wrong. Most people do "Iron Thread" as a hard-only exercise, which is wrong. Please refer to this article: http://practicalhungkyun.com/2013/09/th ... as-thread/
No, I know that the Iron Thread is actually very soft, although it looks strong in appearance. Maybe I didn't express myself very well. A friend who is a senior disciple and will become the official lineage holder of his branch taught me the Dragon form which is essentially a short version of the Iron Wire. I was taught it as just as soft as tai chi. You don't use forced breath, but the very relaxed movements coordinated with sound and breath is exhausting. It feels very much like power breathing or breath therapy. It's a very powerful breathing method, though you relax and remain soft.
