GOOOOOOOOD MORNING EVERYONE!
how is everyone? :D
yesterday I had another T'ai Chi + Wushu lesson...
so! the T'ai Chi lesson was half an hour long and the Wushu one was an hour long!
let's start with the T'ai Chi one!
last time the sifu told us that when we do the movements, we have to be fluid, and that every single movement has his Yin and his Yang, that keep changing as we change the movements! (this is hard to explain, but soon I'll probably have books that will be useful in order to help me explain too :))
in this vid there's part of the full form we're doing (now that I found this vid, I can study the movements LOL)

then the sifu explained us the relation between these movements and the defense techniques of T'ai Chi (yes, we do even that part of T'ai Chi ^^d)
in the end the T'ai Chi forms are not only good for the health, but every single movement is also a defense technique :D
right after this, we put on our belts and started the Wushu lesson (T'ai Chi doen't have belts ^^d)...
I still have problem in remember the right way to do the knot LOL
we "exchange greetings"
the hands position is like this one (I never remember which hands has to be the fist and which one has to wrap it) (╯_╰)
then we do stretching (here goes the fun part XD)
I'll post just part of the stretching part (when I'll find pics regarding it, I'll share :D) with the help of... GACKT ahahahaha (*≧▽≦)ﾉｼ))
we don't do these exactly in this order XD
we do this without staying on the head, but on the neck (yeah, it sort of chokes ya!)
then, from here, we put the legs back and do the candle!
like this, if you dunno
and I'm proud 'cause, beside my huge frame, I can do it like the guy in the pic *^* (maybe not so straight, I'm not straight because I'm not really thin LOOOOL, but really like that)
we did this one too ahahaha
of course I can't do it this way (a guy sat on me XD) but the position was the same!
this one too, and we did it both ways (with and without the guy sitting on me LOL)
same here! we do this then we turn our right foot outside, turn our hip anti-clockwise and put the left knee on the floor... then we do the same the other way around ^^
looks like this
(yes I grab random pics on google XD)
this one is just painful XD
we do this in 3 different ways (all in once ;____;) and have to hold ourself to a pillar while the other splits your leg XD
1) face the pillar, raise the left leg while turning the hips slightly (NB, the foot that stays one the ground has to stay still and with the toes facing the pillar), give the leg to the other... and then do the same with the other leg!
2) face the pillar, raise the left leg, TURN 180° your hips (like 45° or more your knee of the right leg), and then (with your left foot toes facing the "sky" lol) the other will stretch the leg... again, we do the other way around!
3) now, this one is similar to the one before, the only difference is that you turn the hips 180° BEFORE giving the leg to your partner! (it's way easier this way to me XD)
with the knees bend and the legs a little less split, we do some punches and stuff while stretching ^^d
after that, we did again the basics movements, punches and then done 4 defense techniques and an attack/defense combo! (again, I'll explain myself better once I'll have books and pics ^w^)
hmm... now, I'll put here my latest drawings (I'll do another one later, but I'll add it on Sunday or Monday ^w^d)
sorry for the quality of the pics ^^
I did this one for sasaki18 but didn't turned out that well...
the sketch I did before of this turned out really good, but, when I tried to get a clean line, things went wrong...then I felt like that I couldn't do this anymore, "she was tired"... and then I thought to change to the other and here's the result!
now... I was almost proud of it... then I got really pissed off because of the same!
the thing is that I showed it to my parents, thinking that they might like the way it turned out to be... what I got? these comments!
"eeeeh? that's dark/macabre!" "why did you draw it?" "can't you draw something beauty/pretty instead of this?"
the last one almost made me cry! what the hell does it means BEAUTY/PRETTY??? are you even listening what you're saying??? It's ok if you say thinkgs like "I don't like the subject, the line" or whatsoever, but from there to "draw something beauty"? really??? THIS is my beauty (yes, I do draw flowers and things less "scarier", even if I don't see the scary vibe here)! why they watched only the drawing and not what it is (me studying anatomy)? plus, we're all like this (if you take away skin, muscles and everything else)!
*ends venting*
said that, you're free to comment it as you wish! I really like constructive comments that makes me grow ^^d
let's end this entry, shall we? XD
Have a nice day!
p.s. a friend of mine managed to get a ticket for next summer Muse concert ヽ(；▽；)ノ
