Saturday Practice


 The Detail:

It's a cool 63 at the house. It's forecast to be another beautiful day.

"Only I can change my life, 

No one can do it for me."


The Practice:

I started with a full Warm Up on The Deck.  I did the first half of Sifu Ray's Warm Up's (upper body) then I segued to the second half (lower body) of The 10+.I focused on overall health and consistency.

Next I went out to my main training area:


and did a Round (right side) reciting the Taiji Classics during Part I. I remained focused on feeling Jin going down and up the 9 Zig Zag Path through the Jin-Lu.

Next I did Yin/Yang Figure 8 Walking from Cheng Style Baguazhang. I focused on which foot starts on the outer circle and which foot either Swing Steps or Hook Steps to the inner circles and monitoring 4 steps in each of the 4 patterns, along with monitoring the transition from side to side while doing the Yin/Yang Walking, for coordination and opening and closing the various Kua's.

Next I did a round of Anyo Isa tuned into fully extension adding more focus and pop to my punches and kicks.

Next I did a round of Seisan Kata focused on the overall quality of my techniques. 

Next I did a round of Taiji Cane (right side) focused on light body during the progressive steppings.

I finished with Healing Qigong
