The Details and Notes:
Day #8 in the rotation
It's 70 at the house. The sunrise was at 5:50.
Jeff is coming up to train this morning from 10-noon. We've been working on The Taiji Dance and Cheng
Style Baguazhang 8 Animal Palms Changes 5 & 6.
I need to balance The Joint Checkbook soon....Perhaps today?
The Practice:
I went out to my main practice area and started with a Round (left side) focused on observing the Taiji Principles and Consistency.
Next I did a round of Cheng Style Baguazhang 8 Old Palms (both sides) focused on doing the Changes at the correct Gua on the circle as well as reciting the Names of the Palms as I was doing them.
Once Jeff came we started with my Modern Arnis Cane Warm Ups.
Next we did a round of all four Modern Arnis Cane Anyo (both sides) stopping at #2 and #4 to discuss Double Zero, Applications and Sequence.
Next we did a round of Anyo Walo focused on Sequence and the names of the numbers in Taglog
Next we flushed out Sunsu at the end. I figured out that I was leaving out one of the triple elbow striked and ended up doing the last triple elbow strikes in the wrong direction. That's the reason I was ending up facing the wrong direction.
Next we did a brief round of Tapi Tapi (both sides)
Next we did a round of The Dance (both sides) focused on observing The Classics and Sequence.
Next we did a round of Cheng Style Baguazhang 8 Animal Palms Changes 1-6 working on #3, #5 and #6 for Sequence and Basics.
That's it for today.
