Manchester Bagua theme song?

As the class I attend is Manchester Bagua, I thought I'd have some fun with some classically Mancunian lyrics:

Bagua Supernova
By Oasis - with some help from me


Wake up at dawn, and then gyrate
With arms that are not bent/not straight
Coil and twist as smoothly as you can

Slowly circling 'round the hall
Inside an imaginary ball
Where were you while we were doing ban?

Someday you will find me
Swimming like a dragon
In a bagua supernova in the sky

Someday you will find me
Swimming like a dragon
In a bagua supernova
A bagua supernova in the sky

'Cause people believe
That their ch'i is gonna make them a winner
But me and you, we train hard too
The world's still spinning 'round, when we do what we do
Do, do, do, do...

Facing north, then facing south
Staring past the tiger's mouth
Where were you while we were doing ban?
Slowly circling 'round the hall
Inside an imaginary ball
Where were you while we were doing ban?

Someday you will find me
Swimming like a dragon
In a bagua supernova in the sky
Someday you will find me
Swimming like a dragon
In a bagua supernova
A bagua supernova in the sky...

'Cause people believe
That their ch'i is gonna make them a winner
But me and you, we train hard too
The world's still spinning 'round, when we do what we do
Do, do, do, do...

Facing north, then facing south
Staring past the tiger's mouth
Where were you while we were doing ban?

Jin & Tonic

Excellent class. A return after a long haitus for me. I was nursing a shoulder injury but thankfully managed to avoid aggravating it further.

Topic for the class was 'threading the needle' and its role in the creation of jin. Quite a high level class to come back to after such a long time away, but I managed to take it all in. Did all the exercises on just my left side to protect my injured right shoulder. I also stepped out when the two man drills started. I could have tried them just on my good arm, but didn't want to risk lengthening my recovery time unnecessarily.

Looking forward to next Monday's class.
