A little review…
This past Thursday there were fewer of us than normal. This gave us a chance to work on some of the exercises that were taught during the Sunday class in Mississauga. For more information see http://bagua.ca/mississauga/feeding-the-feet/. We also played with a couple other variations that slowly led towards a martial application. This was quite interesting, since if you missed a principle then you could notice a decrease in the effectiveness of the application. Now with that being said we don’t focus the application. The application is just a tool to learn the principles.
We also took some time to review the 5 circles, looking at some of the finer points on how some of these circles worked. After this, we looked at how these work with in the context of a martial application. During this, we took some time to look at the principles that were at work or not during the different applications. This was very informative as it helps to reinforce you’re understanding of the principles.
