Friday Practice

 

The Details:

It's 59 at the house. The sunrise was at 7:17. The low tide was at 5:48. 

Notes:

We're still fighting off this flu. It's a stubborn one! Very hard to clear. I slept in again this morning. I'm trying to rest more, drink more green tea and eat well. 

The Practice:

Yesterday late afternoon QW on the beach I did mobility stretched at the mid-way point and again on the Walkover at 21st Ave. 

Today I went out to the Backyard to practice. I did things out of the normal sequence.

I wore a weighted vest and started with The Double Dao Form using the aluminum broadsword set that I bought years ago in Boston's Chinatown. I focused on using the correct sequence.

Next I did a round of Anyo Anim focused on applications.

Next I did a round on Kusanku Kata focused on mobility and agility as well as correct sequence.

Next I did a brief warm up

Next I did a Round (right side) reciting the Taiji Classics during Part I. I focused using a calm, centered mind. 

I returned to the house to eat lunch and journal today's practices.
