The Details:
It's 58 at the house. I've got grocery shopping and preparations for our annual Harvest Dinner with Wayne, Bobby and Brooks.
The Practice:
I started on The Deck with Echo. I did a full round of The 10+ focused on 'getting 'em in' and the overall health benefits that I derive from regularly doing this magical and important set.
Next I went out to my main training area and did a Round (left side again) I used the metronome in my phone set a 60 BPM with two tones. I focused on the timing of the various aspects of the Form and I also monitored the quality of my waist and hips directing my Jin and then manifesting my Jin in my fingers.
Next I did a brief Standing (PT) and a full Healing Qigong.
Next I did a round of Cheng style Baguazhang Old 8 Palms using Mud Wading Steps. I had a little confusion at the beginning after leaving out #2 Palm. I went back and got it going correctly.
Next I did a round of Anyo Isa tuned into adding more focus to my punches and kicks.
Next I did a round of Sanchin Kata focused on the overall quality of my stances and basics as well as connecting my abdominal breathing to my techniques. With a control wave of dynamic tension for abdominal to knuckles, finger tips and palms.
Next I didi a round of Modern Arnis Cane Anyo 1-4 on both sides. I used my wooden Boken to do this. I focused on light body during #2 and the live hand throughout. I've just recently been able to get through #4 on the left side. Yay!
I returned to the house to journal today's practice.
