The Details:
It's 58 at the house. We went to SYC for the Labor Day Dinner last evening. It's Monday and I have a 8:30 video meeting with Jeff. We're going over to Doug and Kay's this afternoon, to see them and their newly renovated home.
The Practice:
I went out to The Deck with my trusty practice partner Echo around mid-morning.
I started with a full round of The 10+ focused on the exact sequence; The Dragons Back after #7 and Ba Shi after #8. Last week I worked on the original sequence of The 10 Exercises, this week I'm working on the + part of them.
Next I did a Round (right side) focused on Counter Balancing with arm or elbow at every intersection.
Next I did Healing Qigong
I also focused on not overthinking but 'feeling' instead.
Next I did a round of Cheng style Baguazhang Yin/Yang Walking. I focused on the 8 day training cycle and using the correct sequence. Today is Day #1 in my training sequence. I used Lion Stepping throughout the set.
Next I did a round of Anyo Isa focused on the quality of my basics (proper extension and more focus and pop) and flow.
Next I did a round of Seisan Kata tuned into the health aspect of this Kata.
Next I did a round of Taiji Cane Form (both sides) I tuned into the 'round the heads' for my shoulders and using ground propagated force throughout.
I returned to the house to journal today's practice.
