Monday Practice

 

The Details:

It's 55 at the house and a beautiful day, dry and sunny! Yay!!

The Practice:

Around mid morning I went out to my main practice area and started with a modified warm using the first few of The 10 and the first half of Sifu Ray's Warm Up Set.

Next I did a Round (left side again) reciting the Taiji Classics during Part I. I tuned into cultivating the serenity that was all around me. It's so beautiful, quiet and serene here in Leyden.

Next I did a full round of Baguazhang's Yin Style 8 Linking Palms Form (on both sides) tuned into the 'kick ups' and mobility and agility overall. I did the form inside of my Bagua Poles (above) 

Next I did a round on Anyo Isa focused on consistency and the overall quality of my basics and stances. I used the open palm version of trapping hands (like the Prof. often did)

Next I did a round of Naihanchi Kata solidifying the changes that I've made to this Kata and the knee position on the angle kicks.

I finished with Healing Qigong as I returned to the house to journal the practice in this blog.

If you are looking at this email me to let me know. Thanks!
