Friday Practice

 


The Details:

It's 66 at the house. It's forecast to be hot again this afternoon. Ginnie opened up early and we have the attic fan on with the bedroom windows opened. I've got a standing 8:30 video meeting with Jeff. I'm scheduled to have lunch with Travis at Tito's around noon.

The Practice:

I started inside with acoustic guitar practice. I'm trying to keep working on the advancements that I made this week, I've added several songs as well as cleaning up the ones that I already know. It feels good to be moving forward,

Around mid-morning I went out to practice in my main practice area (about) near Big Greenie.

I started using my Dragon Canes to do a solo drill of switching from right to left and vice versa with a circle in between, with a 1 1/2. 

Next I did Abanico Double Action with Change Step on both sides.

Next I did a round of Taiji Cane Form on the right side using a Dragon Cane. I tuned into shoulder health on the 'round the head' sequences.

Next I did a full round of The 10+ focused on consistency and overall health.

Next I did a Round (right side) reciting my version of The Taiji Classics during Part I. I focused on manifesting Jin in my finger tips and what part stops and what part continues to move...especially during the push sequences.

Next I did a brief Healing Qigong, reciting while Pore Breathing; 'Breathing in Qi permeates my bones, breathing out into the space that is everywhere'

Next I did a round of Cheng Style Baguazhang's 8 Animal Set. I did #1-4 on both sides. I've decided to practice 4 changes of each form on both sides. This is the first day of the 'new' practice method.

Next I did a round of Anyo Apat focused on agility, mobility and applications.

Next I did a round of Wansu Kata focused on the quality of my basics.

I finished by returning to the house to journal my practice here in this blog
