Saturday Practice

 

The Details:

It's 62 at the house. There's a family party at my sister Chris' this afternoon.

The Practice:

"Self-Confidence is the first step to success. Lack of Self-Confidence is the main cause of failure."

Daily practice improves Self-Confidence. Believe in yourself......You are unique and awesome in every way! 

"Be yourself, everyone else is already taken"

I started with acoustic guitar practice. I'm making some headway! Finally;^) and reading a poem from Mary Oliver's book, Evidence.

It was late morning before I made it out to my main practice area near Big Grennie.

I started with a full round of The 10+ focused on overall health, strength, flexibility, coordination and agility.

Next I did a Round (left side) reciting the Taiji Classics during Parts I & II. At the end of Part II I realized I had inadvertently switched to the right side. I stayed equanimous and simple switched back to the left side.

Next I did a round of Cheng Style Baguazhang's Yin/Yang Walking. I've been working on the correct split of the 5 sets that I know and connecting them to the daily practice of the 8 Modern Arnis Anyo and 8 American Karate Kata's. I'm starting with Yin/Yang Walking for #1. I'll proceed through all the sets along with the 8 Anyo's and 8 Kata's. Next I'll need to attach the weapons forms that I know and possibly to discreet Qigong's also.

Next I did a round of Anyo Isa tuned into fully extending my punches.

Next I did a round of Niahanchi Kata focused on the changes that I'm making to that Kata.

I finished with Standing PT and Healing Qigong

I returned to the house to journal today's practice in this blog.
