Sheltering in Place

[Drunk Monk]

Salle Santa Cruz and DM in the same place at the same time…almost? It’s a sign!

I was particularly amused that they were epee cords. And indeed, I'm on the brink of a major shift in my martial practice. I'm planing to rekindle my iaido practice. My left should is inhibiting my Kung Fu significantly, and if I'm being totally honest, I'm stagnating at the Academy. I'll still go on Saturdays in a flailing effort to maintain my Shaolin, Xingyi, Baji, & Taiji. But it's a struggle. Last Saturday, I was feeling loose for the first few forms in my regimen until I got to Baji and that popped my shoulder something fierce. And Baji is a soft style, like Tai Chi. 

So I checked out my friend's iai class. Iai shouldn't tax my left shoulder in the same way because it's mostly holding the saya. I hope to start this week.
