Ah, Tian Gan, my nemesis!

Class tonight was great.  First back after a haitus but easily got back into the swing of things.

Did a lot of strength training and such.  Found that things are starting to come together for me (my 'ban' is much better than before, but I still need to work on my legs).

Now I know what I need, all that is required is practice!

Living on a razor's edge...

No bagua so far today.  A restless six-month old will do wonders to raise the priorty of a lie in at six in the morning, trust me.

The chinese have a phrase 'heavenly stem' (tian gan), which sounds really wonderful and pleasant.  However, if you train in bagua, then the phrase calls to mind only pain.  It refers to a series of strengthening exercises that put the body through its paces.

These were what I was intending to train today.  Perhaps they are better to complete this evening.  That way, if I am knackered then I can go straight to bed.  Or the sofa.  Whichever is closer.
