Monday Practice

 


The Details and Notes:

I'm counting this as Day #1 in the rotation.

It's 60 at the house. The sunrise was at 5:13.

I'm trying to schedule a visit to Genna's new apartment and dinner in Keene with her tonight.

Peter Rooney's service yesterday at SYC was really emotional. He was truly a good guy.

Ed Johnson is coming to mow the fields today. GG took out the fence posts that were lying on the ground. Perhaps Ed can get closer to the 'fence' to save us some weed whacking? Time will tell......

The Practice:

I practiced in my main training area near Big Greenie today.

I started with Taiji Cane (both sides) initially focused on shoulder health and then on the left side I mostly focused on Sequence and Direction of Techniques.

Next I did a round of Anyo Isa focused on Sequence, Basics and Applications as well as light body during the Progressive Steps.

Next I did a round of Seisan Kata focused on Basics and Kicking High with Retraction.

Next I did a round of Yin Style Baguazhang 8 Linking Palms (originally from Master Wang Shu-Jin), Changes 1-4 (both sides) I focused on the 'Kick Ups' and reciting the names of the Postures.

Next I did a full round of The 10 adding to #7 and #10

Ed came and that was all I had the juice for today.

FYI - Consistency is challenging for everyone no matter the endeavor!
