Inspired by Luo Dexiu's seminar last weekend, I have determined to take a more fun attitude to my baguazhang practice.
As he suggested, I will "play" with the forms, keep relaxed and smiling, at take notice of what my body is telling me of the movements, my balance and the lines of force.
This weekend, I hope to manage some palm changes when I get time to myself. I'll log what I find, so keep your eyes peeled for my next post!

Drink sangria in the park...
...and later, when it gets dark, we'll go home
Managed to spend some time in the park near work yesterday. During my lunch break, I managed to practice some single palm change. Ostensibly in preparation for Luo Dexiu's visit this weekend. But the real reason was to reaccustom myself to training outside in public. Back when I did Lau Gar, I had no qualms about training in the park and could easily shrug of the stares and inevitable attention. Now I am older, practicing bagua in public seems more difficult - I am very conscious of the things I am doing looking..... ...strange, I suppose.
The sooner I get over that the better, as being able to train while at work will help my practice immensely!
