Sunday Practice - Day #3 in the rotation (with Jeff)

 

The Details:

It's 45 at the house. Jeff is coming at 10 am 

The Practice:

I started in The Driveway with a very brief warm up

Next I did a Round (left side) reciting the Taiji Classics during Part I. I was focused predominantly on 'getting it in' before Jeff arrived. 

Once Jeff arrived while I was doing Part III then we had some discussion about The Studio and the three students he plans on continuing to teach. 

Next we did a round of The Taiji Dance (both sides). We worked on the inside hand when doing 4-direction Push Hands and the sequence towards the end on the second side.

Next we reviewed Taiji 13 Spear (left side) focused on correct sequence.

Next we reviewed Yin style Baguazhang 8 Linking Palms Changes 1-8 (both sides) tuned into using the correct sequence in the correct direction.

Next we reviewed Yin style Baguazhang 8 Palms Changes 1-8 (both sides) focused on the difference between the Yin and Cheng styles.

Next we worked on Cheng style Baguazhang 8 Animal (Mother) Palms Changes 1-2 (both sides) we then worked on Change #3 on the right side (left too) then we spent a good deal of time on Change #4 (Dragon Palm) on the left side. 

We finished with some conversation and discussion about this coming winter.
