Session 2 survived. I’ve relearned Da Luohan. I think Guolin taught me the first time in a one day seminar. I may have even written an article on that. I’ll look tomorrow.
Drank electrolytes all day to ward off cramps. That worked, but my right thigh was done at the start. All the pubu, xiebu & dingbu (the deep crouching stances) are on the right leg. And then, at the end, there’s a tricky sweep and flying kick sequence for the right. The last half hour I was standing y’all, knowing that I’d not be able to get up from another low crouch.
Only about a third of the students survived to the second session which left nowhere to hide. My shidi from Santa Cruz is diligent and younger so it’ll be easier to retain this form this time.
Doing an application demo, Shifu kneed me in the tenders. It wasn’t hard enough to drop me, but Enoch to make me wince and flinch, like an awakening koshaku in the zendo. He apologized after.
Just took a long epsom salt bath with back comfort essential oils. My body is done. So glad for an extra hour of sleep tomorrow. Daylight savings saves my ass.
Thursday he comes by the office for an article shoot. Hopefully he won’t knee me in the tenders again. Friday is qigong - 8 section brocade - part of my daily regimen so I’m looking forward to the super fine pointers, along with some other old student friends - maybe the cfs even? Jeff & I had so much fun training together again - hope you can come out.
