The Details:

It's 64 at the house. The sunrise was at 6:53. The high tide was at 9:14 (2.8'). I've got nothing scheduled for today. All the regular stuff!

The Practice:

I QW to the beach with all my camera gear just before sunrise. Yay! I"m on a roll getting to the beach to shoot the sunrise. The secret is to 1. Get up 2. Get dressed 3. Put shoes and gear on 4. Actually walk down the street towards the Atlantic Ocean 5. Be on time In other words; just do, don't (over) think!

I started with a full round of The 10+ focused on strength, mobility, agility, balance, breathing and releasing tension.

Next I did a Round (right side) reciting my version of The Taiji Classics during Part I. I remained focused on "Stand like a scale, Move like a cartwheel" throughout the Round.

Next I did a round of Yin style Baguazhang 8 Palms Changes 1-4 (both sides) reciting the names of the postures throughout the Set. I used Lion Walking and 8 steps between changes.

Next I did a round of Anyo Pito focused on using the correct sequence in the correct direction. This Anyo felt better today. Yay!

Next I did a round of Sunsu Kata tuned into the sequence and techniques.

Next I did all four Modern Arnis Cane Anyo 1-4. I used light sticks and did both sides of 1-3 but once again I got distracted by the passersby and confused on the left side of #4. I need to flush that out in the backyard.
