I´ve not been ill for years...

So in the middle of the night I didn´t feel good and went to the toilet. The result was not as relieving as I had hoped and I stayed another minute.
Then I throw up... after that I felt better and went to bed.

I woke up in pain and... well I didn´t make it to the toilet before it started again...
This time I took a bucket with me, which I used more then once...

The day after passed by while I was asleep...
today I feel better.

Should I go and practice taiji today?

small update

So the competition is over, I designed myself a Taiji T-Shirt which is ok but the WCTAG Logo is a bit too small - making it very hard to read the Chinese characters and the complete association name...

On Sunday I learned the last two figures of the swordform and got a fine correction.

I decided
the next form I learn will be the spearform, because the laojia form will take me about a year to learn it and before that I wanna have some fun ;-)

So that´s it for now,

one week after the Competition

So, I went to the competition and did my Handform (one step more to the left and I would have been standing in the wall...).
Long story short I performed ok, but not good enough to be in the top 3. Those who where did wear taiji suits...and did perform more advanced forms (laojia,etc. ...).

Pushing (ding bu ) was a surprise, because we had to start from a starting position and didn´t have that in our training (how should we practice that without knowing about that...), so we didn´t get to far...but against such advanced guys we wouldn´t stand a chance even if we would have trained that before!

So when we left,we knew we were up against the best in this country and when we come back next year we will be better prepaired and things might be a little different then!

I hope I get myself a cool suit until then, maybe it helps ;-)
I start of with a t-shirt...
