Thursday Practice - Day #8 in the rotation

 

The Details:

It's 40 at the house. I had a nice conversation with Travis this morning. I've penciled in dinner with him next Wednesday. 

The Practice:

I began the day with acoustic guitar practice and a reading from Evidence

I started my practice out on The Deck with the first few of The 10+ but then decided to finish my warm up inside up in the loft where I did a full round of The 10+ focused on using The 10+ for health and well being.

Next I used a 10lb vest for the rest of my practice, starting with a Round (right side) paying close attention to vertical alignment, especially monitoring my knee alignments..

Next I did a brief Standing PT and Healing Qigong.

Next I did a round of Cheng style Baguazhang Old 8 Palms Changes 1-8 (both sides) using Mud-Wading Step throughout.

Next I did a round of Anyo Walo focused on the overall quality of my basic punches and kicks.

Next I did a round of Sanchin Kata tuned into breathing and dynamic tension.

Next I went out to The Deck and did a round of Modern Arnis Cane Anyo's 1-4 (both sides) I had a bit of confusion on both sides on #4; I kept ending facing the wrong direction. Ugh!

I returned to the house to journal today's practice
