Thursday Practice

 

The Details:

It's 62 at the house. The sunrise was at 7:20. The high tide was at 7:45. There was virtually zero wind on the beach. We've got Linda coming at 10 to help with cleaning this morning.

The Practice:

The tide was high so I played tag (push-hands) with the ocean during my practice. I brought my tripod and Canon camera to shoot the sunrise.

After setting up and snapping a few photos I started with a full round of The 10+ focused on health and consistency. 

Next I did a Round (right side) focused on staying inside (mentally) and not popping out as the tourists walk by chatting on their phones or to each other. Some of them passed within a few feet of me. Oy! The lack of consideration amazes me and seems to be a reflection of our society as a whole. Ugh!!

I recited the Taiji Classics during Parts I & II

Next I did SPT 

Next I did a round of Anyo Walo focused on the quality of my punches and kicks as well as applications.

Next I did a round of Sanchin Kata focused on dynamic tension and breathing from my Dantien to my fists, fingers and palms.

I finished with Healing Qigong as I returned to the house.
