I've been loving the new placement of my Bagua Poles. I find myself attracted to using them daily!
More BaguaZhang = Better Health!
Question:
Is Bagua Zhang superior to Taiji Quan?
The Details:
It's 57 at the house. The sunrise was at 6:28, It's another cool and clear day. I have an appointment in Brattleboro VT at 10 with Shayna to get my haircut.
The Practice:
It's one of those piecemeal kinda days.
I started out in The Driveway with a brief warm up and Part I of the Taiji Form.
Next I drove up to Brattleboro and ended up being 10 minutes early. So I found a private place outside and did Part II,
After arriving home from the appointment I organized a dump run and then went out into my main training space and did a round of the 8 Animal Set from Cheng T'ing Hwa BaguaZhang that I learned from Master Zhang Jie back in the 1990's. I did the set around my Bagua Poles.
Next I did Part III (left side) and found that I migrated over to the right side a couple of times. I rarely do my Rounds piece meal like I did today, but there are those busy days that flush our like that. Frankly it's not the best Round I've ever had but I 1. Got it in!! 2. Stayed consistent
IF you practice every day there will be good ones and then there's the other side being 'Not as good'; When the Round happens to be not as good I find that it's fodder to keep you ego in check.
I ended with Healing Qigong
I'm going to have a BLT with fabulous Leyden tomatoes....Yum! Perhaps my favorite sandwich of all time!!
