The Photo:
It was warmer this morning, in the low 60's with a little breeze from the W S/W. The tide was high at 5:03 am today so the tide was going out. It's going be low at 11:36 am and the sunrise was at 7:04. There was plenty of hard pack sand to practice on.
The Practice:
I reviewed a select number of principles before I landed on 'the practice idea (or two) of the day'.
This morning I paid extra relaxed attention (Yi) to the principle of:
"All of it's parts (the body) connected like a string of pearls"
I then 'tuned into' (Ting) the idea of:
Two Pillars
and
Three strands of pearls
Came back to the house to work out with Gary. He's primarily working on Modern Arnis. This morning work out consists of:
1. Review The Ten Exercises (+)
2. Review Cane Warm Ups
3. 6' Staff (Spear) Warm Ups
4. Review first Spear solo exercise
5. Review the two person Spear exercise from Tuesday
6. Review the two person Single Sinawalli drill from Tuesday
7. Do the Staff Sinawalli exercise solo, right side first, then switching sides with triangular stance work (change stepping)
8. Review all the Sinawalli's with canes.
Notes:
There was a camera crew from Charlotte, North Carolina shooting some 'live' scenes that will be used in the upcoming Daytona 500 NASCAR race in Daytona, FL this weekend.
I talked for a few moments to Stuart the camera man.
I saw Paul (the jogger) and the group of 4 sunrise beach walkers.
I saw Kelly and Buddha Joseph from a far. They were playing the catch the sea water game a few hundred yards to the north. To far away for a photo.
