Saturday Practice

 


The Details:

It's 67 at the house. The sunrise was at 7:34. The high tide was at 10:27. It's forecast to be in the 80's this afternoon. Bonus rocket launch just as I arrived on the beach. IMO that's the best kind of rocket launch; you just show up and there it is!

The Practice:

I QW to the beach for sunrise. 

I started with a full round of The 10+ focused on health, consistency, balance and agility. 

Next I did a Round (right side) tuned into my waist being the controlling axis with smooth and slow movements. I entered a calm and centered state of mind and a profound connection to nature. I gazed upon the horizon and witnessed the sunrise.  

Next I did a round of Anyo Apat tuned into the quality of my basics and applications.

Next I did a round of Kusanku Kata focused on agility, mobility, balance and leg strength.  Kusanku remains the most challenging (physically) of the American Karate-do Kata's. I remain focused on using the deepest Zen Dashi's that I'm currently capable of (without injuring myself!).

I finished with Healing Qigong as I was returning to the house.
