The Details and Notes:
In Bari (25 miles north) the sunrise was at 5:25. The low tide was at 5:50. There is a nice sea breeze with plenty of sun and no clouds. The weather for this trip has been fabulous. I hope it continues for the wedding on Saturday.
We spent the morning at the apartment (Deck) and walking around the Old Town of Monopoli.
The Practice:
I practiced on The Deck again this morning. Yay! Outside, with a view of the Adriatic Sea. Outstanding practice spot.
I started with a full round of The 10 adding to #10. I focused on health, stretching, balance and strength.
Next I did a round of Cheng Style Baguazhang 8 Animal Palms (Changes 5-8 both sides) focused on sequence, balance, postures and place on the circle.
Next I did a round of Master Choi's Bagua Standing Set.
Next I did a Round (right side) tuned into the timing of Deflect, Parry and Punch as well as the Yin (no movement/stillness) and Yang (action/movement) throughout the form.
Next I did Standing using Master Choi's Bagua Standing Set and Healing Qigong.
We're off to explore Monopoli.
