Saturday Practice

 



The Details:

It's 51 at the house and it's forecast to only be in the 50's today. The sunrise was at 6:47. The low tide was at 6:28.

Notes:

I've got a 10 am video call with Jeff this morning.

I've got lunch with Bill right after my video call with Jeff.

The Practice: 

Day #1 in the rotation. I'm behind with my weapons forms, yesterday afternoon I did a round of Taiji Jian reciting the names of the postures throughout.

I dressed for the cold this morning.

I QW north (into the E N/E wind) up to the middle of The Pelican.

                           From a few day's ago before it got cold.

When I got back to 22nd Ave. I did a Round (right side) focused on Empty Stepping, Relaxed Balance (especially when kicking) and Counter Balancing.

Next I did Standing (all 8 Postures) and a brief Healing Qigong.

Next I did a round of Cheng Baguazhang Yin/Yang Figure 8 Walking focused on Stepping with Hook and Swing Stepping.

Next I did a round of Anyo Isa focused on extending my Basics.

Next I did a round of Seisan Kata focused on Consistency, Overall Quality and Basics.

I've successfully been getting 10,000 Steps in a day. I'm shooting for 3,500 in the morning and the rest in the late afternoon. So far so good!!
