Thursday Practice

 

          Sunrise with a visible riptide. The tide was up and there was very little beach to practice on. 

The Details:

It's 69 at the house. The sunrise was at 7:05. The high tide was at 7:13. A steady breeze coming out of the N N/W plus the high tide kept the tourists off the beach. 

Note: I had a brief chat with Dave and Tonya when they first got down to the beach to walk north. There were very few folks walking the beach, no bikes and no runners!

The Practice:

I shot a few photos with my phone then I started with a full round of The 10+ focused on staying consistent. I've been really putting some effort into getting a full round of The 10+ in. It's so healthy, but ya still have to do them on the same sort of schedule and oral hygiene, i.e. Daily.

Next I did a Round (left side) reciting the Taiji Classics during Part I. I focused on using neutral postures throughout the Round.

Next I did a round of Anyo Lima focused on the correct sequence, postures and applications.

Next I did a round of Chinto Kata focused on mobility and agility. This Kata and Kusanku demand a high degree of mobility and agility.

Next I did a round of Taiji Dao using my wooden Bokken. I focused on the health aspect of this form.

Next I did a full round of Modern Arnis Cane Anyo (1-4) on the right side.

I finished with Healing Qigong as I was returning to the house.
