Saturday Practice @ The Studio

 

Shot in haste with my phone camera. I stayed for the Youth Karate Class. There were a few I recognized and a few that I hadn't met yet.

The Details:

It's 60 at the house. Sunrise was at 5:12

The Practice:

I went into The Studio early to surprise Jeff. It's his 40th Bday tomorrow. Shhhh! Mum's the word;^)

We did a full review of The Taiji Two Person Dance.

When the class showed up I talked to them about Yin/Yang theory in relationship to receiving and issuing.

We then did Single Arm Push-Hands with that in mind.

I talked about the horizontal hand in Push-Hands practice and then related that to Solo Form Practice. It's a wonderful way to adjust your YI (mind-intent). Identifying Yin/Yang is essential to good internal practice.

Next we did a Round of Taiji Part I on the left side and Parts II and III on the right side, staying focused on Roll Back and it's external and internal details.

I ended with a short Healing Qigong.

I stayed for half the Youth Karate Class
