The Details and Notes:

Day #2

It's 40 at the house. The sunrise was at 7:12.

The Practice:

I started on The Deck with the first half of Master Ray's Warm Ups for the upper body. 

Next I finished my Warm Up with the last few of The 10 for the lower body. 

Next I went to The Driveway with a round of Taiji Jian using my Lung Ching (Dragon's Well) sword. I recited the names of the Postures throughout and stayed watching the tip of the Jian.

Next I did Lazy D with the left hand.

Next I did a round of Yin Baguazhang 8 Linking Palms Changes 1-4 reciting the names of the Postures throughout. I also focused on Cultivating and making a full turn to the rear.

Next I did a round of Anyo Dalawa focused on adding extension and focus to my Basics.

Next I did a round of Naihanchi Kata focused on Basics and Stance Work.

Next I moved up to my main training area and did a Round (right side) reciting the Taiji Classics during Parts I & II. I focused on using Neutral Postures throughout.

That's it for today......
