The Details:
It's 70 at the house. It's forecast to be in the 90's later today.
The Practice:
I went out on The Deck around mid-morning to practice with my trusty practice partner Echo.
I started with a full round of The 10+ adjusting the Ba-Ji to be safer for my knees. I was tuned into being consistent and not to overthink Doing It! Just DO IT!! Don't think about doing it. IMHO As soon as the inner dialogue starts making excuses....Immediately start!.
Next I went out to my main practice spot and did a Round (left side) reciting the Taiji Classics during Parts I & II. I tuned into the reverse peristaltic action from contracting and relaxing the muscles in the legs.
Next I did a round (both sides) of Cheng Style Baguazhang "Old 8 Palms". I tuned into Mud-Wading Step and Lion Walk as well as consciously relaxing my shoulders throughout the Set.
Next I did a round of Anyo Walo focused on full extension and more focus (Pop) in my punches and kicks.
Next I did a round of Sanchin Kata tuned into Abdominal Breathing and connecting my breath to my strikes. I also monitored the 'quality' of my dynamic tension.
Next I did a round of Modern Arnis Cane Anyo's 1-4 without a weapon, I used my right hand in 'sword hand' ala Taiji Jian Form.
I finished with Healing Qigong before returning to the house to journal today's practice in this blog.
