Tuesday Practice at The Studio

 

The Details:

It's 47 at the house. The sunrise was at 6:18. It's cool and clear, forecast to be another nice day.


The Practice:

I had a mostly male class today. Bob, Jack, Lenny, Wes and Janee. Read called in to say he tweaked his back and probably wouldn't be coming in this morning.

We started with a sensitivity drill with a partner. The drill starts with pulling the opponents forward arm across their body, where it's neutralized, then you  are prepared to push which is neutralized then your partner feeds a forward arm elbow strike.

After a bit of discussion about the drill and principles I spoke a little about Neutral Postures and the principle of "Neither deficiency, nor excess"

Next we did a round of Taiji (right side) 

I finished with Healing Qigong
