Keep on moving...
Jul. 6th, 2015 10:29 pmI had every intention of putting in some exercise time over the weekend, but life got in the way.
Today, after taking care of a high-priority component of The Routine Stuff™, I managed to break away and walk a kilometer at the gym pool. On the way home, I stopped and had lunch at the buffet of an Indian restaurant that was one of my favorites when I lived down here in the 90s. I even managed to stick to my vegetarian regime and limit myself to one plateful of food.
I call that progress.
Work was work, for the rest of the day, until 5 pm rolled around and I turned to and got ready for tai chi, which went well. Among other things, we managed to examine an "application" based on a drill called the "four method," in which the attacker fails to follow through and redirect force after the defender deflects the original pushing attack, allowing the defender to gain the upper hand with a pushing attack of his or her own, aspects of which bear a similarity to part of a variant of a drill called the "diagonal fly."
Having reread the previous paragraph, it's apparent to me that my skill at describing what I'm learning is pretty deficient. I'm sure it makes no sense to the uninitiated, and unless I am lucky, it may end up making no sense to me after a long enough interval. :)
Cheers...
