Thursday Practice

 




The Details:

It's 70 at the house. The sunrise was at 7:13. The high tide was at 9:50.

Notes:

I got a haircut at 9:00. 

It's trash day.

I saw Rita to talk to. She had Loui in tow.

I saw Dave and Tonya walking while I was practicing Taiji.

There was a Falcon 9 rocket launch that I noticed while I was practicing Baguazhang.

My left knee has been acting up....Ugh! I suspect it's from doing The Ba Shi a little too low a couple of day's ago. Some of those stances can be hard on the knees especially if your inconsistently doing them and then do them too enthusiastically. 


The Practice:

I started with a full round of The 10. Adding to #7 and #10 focused on overall health and consistency.

Next I did a Round (left side) observing throughout.

Muscle Down,

Bone Up!

Next I did a brief Standing and Healing Qigong.

Next I reviewed the introduction to Wuji Hundun Qigong that I learned from Master Duan (I need to video tape this set. I almost did that this morning.)

Next I did a round of Cheng Style Baguazhang 8 Animal Palms Changes 1-4 focused on sequence.

Next I did a round of Anyo Apat focused on Basics and full extension as well as applications.

Next I did a round of Wansu Kata focused on sequence and Basics.

I returned to the house to make and eat breakfast and prepare for my 9 am appointment.
