Monday Practice

 

The Details:

It's 68 at the house. The sunrise was at 6:50. The next high tide is at 10:26, I'm up early enough but I still think I'll be practicing in The Backyard again today. I do plan on sunrise once the tide cycle is s

The Practice:

I gave myself a day off from QW The Beach yesterday. We went out to Voo La Voo Cafe for dinner. The food was fabulous. 

I started inside with acoustic guitar and drum set practice. I continue to work on the 8 pages of exercises from the book 'Syncopation' ala Alan Dawson. This is material that I was introduced to when I was studying drum set with Keith L. at Downtown Sounds. I remember driving down to Noho on Thursday afternoons and Buddy K. would lead the Youth Karate Class 4:30-5:30 and I would be back in Greenfield in time to lead the 5:30 Taijiquan Class and the 6:30-8:30 Adult Karate Class.

Next I went out to The Backyard and did a brief warm up using the first few of The 10 tuned into health and mobility.

Next I worked on Change #6 (The Phoenix) and #5 from Yin Fu's 8 Palm Set.

Next I did a Round (right side) reciting the Taiji Classics during Part I

Next I did a round of Anyo Anim tuned into agility and applications

Next I did a round of Wansu Kata tuned into mobility and health and consistency (requires self-discipline)

I ended with SPT and Healing Qigong.

We're going to Best Buy to shop for a new flat screen TV this afternoon.
