From: Down at the sharp pointy end, where all the weather is made.
If you're at a cabin altitude of FL250 or above, then all the breathing techniques in the world aren't going to prevent you losing consciousness in around 30 seconds. The only training for this situation is to get on to an oxygen supply within that 30 secs. The other part of the training is to ensure that you have that supply available, before embarking on the flight.
