Wednesday Practice - Day # 3 in the rotation - Taiji Dao Day

 


The Details:

It's 40 at the house. Chores today in preparation for our departure on Saturday.


The Practice:

" You will never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore"

" If you want THIS you'll need to give up THAT" This applies across the board!

I started up in The Loft with a full round of The 10+ I did use dumbbells and a 10 lbs weighted vest starting at #8.

Next I did a Round (I started on the right side but got a bit confused in Section II and inadvertently switched to the left side, once I realized my error I simply switched back to the right @ Wave Hands Like Clouds) I recited the Taiji Classics during Part I. I remained focused on expressing Jin in my fingers.

Next I did a round of Yin style Baguazhang 8 Linking Palms Changes 5-8 (both sides)

Next I did a round of Anyo Tatlo focused on using quality basics and applications.

Next I did a round of Seiunchin Kata focused on using correct techniques in the correct sequence.

Next I did a round of Taiji Dao using a metal broadsword.

Next I did a round of Pakua-Knife focused on using the correct sequence.

I returned to the house to journal today's practices.
