Training choices

I make so many choices each and every time I train.  What shall I practice tonight?  Basic drills?  Strength training?  Footwork?  Intent?

The past few classes have been a smorgasbord of drills, routines and exercises, all of which would be incredibly valuable to train more often.

So, what wil I train?  Well, I am thinking - taking some feedback from my teacher as an impetus for this - that lower body strength and footwork drills should be my focus.  At least for the next few weeks, anyway.

A little is better than nothing

I'm finding that, even on those days that I'm too busy for a proper training session, I can still manage ten to fifteen minutes to run through some basic jiben shou fa.

Looking forward to class on Friday to see if I have improved enough to see benefits in my applications.

Here's hoping...

Long awaited update

All the usual apologies for the delay in bringing this update to you. This was mostly due to losing my password, making me unable to log in from work or my mobile which, between them, account for 99% of the updates on this here blog. So, what is there to tell you, dear reader? Well, my attendance is back to normal at Manchester Bagua class. Speaking of which, it is that I am blaming for the achey nature of my shoulders and serratus muscles today, some three days later. Stuck here at work at the moment, but planning some more training for tonight. Went for a walk at lunch which involved a light to medium workout for my calves. As it was threatening rain at the time, though, that only lasted about 15 minutes or so.
