Friday Practice

 




The Details:

It's 68 at the house. The sunrise was at 7:37, The high tide was at 5:18 (2.5')


Notes:

It was a windy morning on the beach. Strong wind coming in from the east. 

There was a rather heavy girl doing a photo shoot with her friend (cell phone camera). I noticed folks being more considerate of her photo shoot than my meditation. A sign of the times?

I saw that Brent Borbeau passed away in Florence recently. He was born in 1960 and was instrumental in my early experience with American Karate.

The Practice:

I started with a full round of The Original 10, adding the Three Swings and Song Gong at #10.

Next I did a Round (right side) reciting the Taiji Classics during Part I

Next I did a round of Yin Style Baguazhang 8 Linking Palms Changes 1-4 (both sides) focused on turning my head and spine all the way to the rear.

Next I did a round of Anyo Dalawa focused on using quality basics.

Next I did a round of Naihanchi Kata tuned into the changes that I've made to this Kata.

I returned to the house to eat breakfast and journal today's practices,
