Many thanks to Brian Z for sharing this photo with me. It's the last time any of us were with the Prof. RIP - Gone but not forgotten.
The Details:
It's 55 at the house. The sunrise was at 5:16. It was cool and raining medium hard.
The Practice:
I started with a full round of The 10 + interspersed with inspiration about what to teach this coming Sunday at the Modern Arnis Workshop from 10-Noon. I have some ideas!

Be relaxed,
Be Happy,
Don't worry,
Go slow and easy,
No stress,
Be comfortable and enjoy yourself.
Smile!!
Go with the flow.
Find your own way to make 'it' work for you!

Thanks to Master Ray Hayward for finding and sharing this historical footage.
Isn't video marvelous? IMO it's the biggest innovation to happen in martial arts this era.
Curriculum will be determined by who signs up, but it will be pure Modern Arnis that I learned directly from Prof. Remy Presas.

The Practice:
I did a Round (right side) in the driveway before driving to Paul's in Hatfield.
I started with a brief round of The 10+ doing only a few of each.
Next I drove to Hatfield for 10am
When I arrived at Paul's we went upstairs to his beautiful Taiji Room
I started with empty hand single Sinawalli with moderate success.
Next a brief warm up mostly the neck and upper body.
Paul was tired from 4 days of visitors this past week.
Next we did a push and pull version of single arm Push-Hands. He is having trouble putting his weight on the right side.
Next we walked around my knapsack, with the idea to keep a constant distance from the knapsack.
Next we worked on Dorsiflexion. As we age there's usually on foot that is more difficult to 'pull back' than the other. A combination of tight calf and weak front of shin. Working on it regularly will yield results. Daily is best.
With any method:
Consistency is more critical that intensity.....Always!
Lastly we did 3/4 of Part I of the Taiji Solo Form - I focused on the proper sequence for the introduction.
Paul said he was tired, so we stopped training and went down stairs.
I watched him go down the stairs.
Afterwards I made a few suggestions.
He did a little practice on the first few steps going up and down holding on to the railing. Working on his 'Stair Climbing Method' both going up and then coming down. It seems that going down is more difficult than going up. Going up he is using a lot of pulling himself up with both hands.
Hopefully the PT person will address going up and down stairs during his PT appointment this afternoon.
I drove back to Leyden and stopped for gas and groceries on the way.

The Tama's w/ my Premiere 2000 snare drum (hidden). This kit is all birch, very well constructed with a 18" bass drum. I've been playing my big Ludwig kit in the loft. This kit sounds very different and is very fun to play. I'm looking forward to playing music with my pals.
A high quality all Birch Kit that I bought this a few years back from my drum pal Dave K.
Email me if you can make it. Thanks!

The Practice:
I started outdoors in my main practice spot. I immediately noticed the Black Flies, but thought I could pull it off.
I started with a round of The 10+ but by the time I got to #2 it was apparent that I would have to move indoors to escape the pesky Black Flies.
I went into The Barn and finished The 10+ interspersed with cleaning and organizing The Barn. I'm preparing to set up my Tama drum set.
The Barn before I started to set up the Tama's
I've been having a massive amount of trouble posting to this blog. Evidently my newer chrome book is in need of an overhaul. It's become completely useless and super annoying. I've switched to the Lenevo laptop that I usually keep upstairs. It's working much, much better!

The Details:

I started with a full round of The 10+ tuned into transformation and principles.
Next I did a Round (right side) tuned into taking care of myself. How does doing a Round a Day translate to abundant health as we age? I can't quite put my finger on exactly why, but I do enjoy the benefits of daily Taiji Quan practice. It's a marvelous and intelligent form of exercise for mind, body and spirit! I feel lucky to have it in my life.
Next I did a round of Anyo Isa tuned in the quality of my basics and postures.
Next I did a round of Naihanchi Kata tuned into the changes that I'm making to that form. I think I've got it pretty well flushed out, in the end it looks like just a couple of changes; Taking out the finger strikes and the second double pivot.

I practiced on The Deck this morning.
I started with a full round of The 10+ tuned into the opening of my body and mind and connecting to the spring Qi.
Next I did a Round (right side) tuned into the being in the present moment and realizing that if you were truly in the present moment you would loose the sequence of the form. So there's a balance of being IN the moment but do to the point where you loose your place in the form. Cool!!
I ended with a Healing Qigong before returning to preparations for the graduation party tomorrow afternoon.
So much to do!!
A quote from Thich Nhat Hanh:
"One of the basic teachings of the Buddha
is that it is possible to live happily
in the present moment."

Next I did a Round of Taiji Quan (left side) tuned into transformation and making space inside my body.
After my appointment I drove back, had a bit to eat, loaded up my car and drove back into Greenfield just in time to set up my snare drum and bass guitar. The sound was weird for my bass because when Brian (the sound guy) took and out from the back of the amp to the PA the sound went out on the amp. I had a heck of a time hearing myself. That's how it goes with gigs, chalk it up to experience!

Next I did a Round (left side) to Master T. T. Liang counting out the beats to the music. I stayed with the count and reflected on the tranquillity and flow that I can access from doing a Round of Taiji with Master Liang counting. Pretty awesome it is!!
Next I wore 2 1/2 lbs wrist weights and did a round of Anyo Anim tuned into posture and positions. The idea is to strengthen not injure my shoulders (whole body).
Next I did a round of Kusanku Kata tuned into the agility, coordination and strengthening that can be cultivated by doing this Kata.
Throughout the session I stayed tuned into Principal #10
Yang Cheng Fu's Ten Essential Points of Taiji Quan:
#10 "In movement seek tranquility."
Master Paul's commentary:
"The eternal arts are proficient in leaping and making forceful movements. The exhaust the breath and strength so that after practicing them one must pant for want of breath. Taiji Quan uses tranquillity to control movement. Although one moves, one remains tranquil, so that in practicing the postures the more slowly one moves the better. When one moves slowly the movement of the breath becomes long and deep, qi sinks to the tan t'ien, and the excessive tensing of the blood vessels is avoided. If the student examines carefully (each principle) and makes it his own through constant practice, how can he fail to acquire the true meaning of all the above?
The Spine (背脊)
I shot this image with my phone camera looking south towards East Hill and Beaver Meadow. I was standing right in front of my garage at the opening where I keep my Bimmer.

Next I went out on the deck to do a Round (right side) to the music with Master T. T. Liang counting out the beats. I tuned into #9 principle:
Yang Cheng Fu's Ten Essential Points
#9 "Each posture must be joined to the next without interruption."
Master Paul's commentary:
" The energy of the external arts is the brute muscular force of Later Heaven. Therefore, it alternately waxes and wanes, is broken off and re-connected. When the old strength has been exhausted and the new is not yet developed (i. e. when one move is finished and the next has not yet begun) one can very easily be controlled by an opponent. In Taiji Quan one uses mind-intent rather than muscular force. From beginning to end it continues fluidly without a break; completing a cycle and beginning again, it flows in an endless circle and is never exhausted. An early treatise says, "it is like a great river or the sea itself, flowing on endlessly without ceasing." It is also said, "Mobilize the intrinsic energy as if you were reeling silk from a cocoon." All of this refers to its continuity without break.
Next I did a round of Anyo Lima tuned into the applications and stance work.
Next I did a round of Chinto Kata tuned into the stance work for cultivating agility.
I finished by using the Power Broom on the driveway for 1/2 hour or so. We're about 85% done with the driveway, thanks to the power broom. Oy Vey!

It was raining by the time I was ready to practice. I did a round of The 10+ to warm up and check my body for injuries that I might have picked up yesterday using the 'power broom' to clean up the driveway.
Note:
Because the ground didn't freeze the plow person really chewed up the driveway. There's a lot of TRG on the lawn, especially at the bottom. What a wreck!!
Next I went up in the loft to do a Round (left side) tuning into internal development and how daily Taiji strengthens ones core and affects ones bone and joint health.
I looked for space everywhere inside by releasing and expanding.
"Hang the muscles
Open the joints"
I got to Paul's around 10. We started right in with a short Warm Up that included Up And Down and Whirlwind and Whirpool with arms making large circles with finger tips leading, then we finished with #1 and #2 of The Ten

Next we practiced Lion Walking - Heel strike w/ toes up then rolling onto the ball of the foot - around the kitchen island.
Next we did Cross Punches to a focus pad with long stretched out punches without leaning forward too much, rather maintaining ones balance, also extending and retracting the punch as if the forearm was in a 'sleeve' ala a piston.
