I had known his since last year and this is the third workshop with him already. He is so committed to the Practical Method system that after the Taiji Traditions Camp he already taught over 60 students most of the yilu form in preparation for this workshop. Time and again I see the solid commitment he displayed to the promotion of the system.
I expressed that in my heart I had already accepted him as a disciple. It is only a matter of time and a matter of ceremony to consolidate the relationship. Then it was decided that a ceremony will be help Sunday after the workshop but before dinner as some will leave immediately after the workshop. Preparations are on the way. Massimo will take charge and will MC the event.
Afternoon was continuation of the private lesson. We picked up where we left in the morning. Went through the entire yilu form again and restarted from the beginning. Again it was corrections and applications and theory. We stopped at 6:30.
Pizza as promised. We had to drive to another town for pizza. As I have been repeatedly told, eating is more than the consumption of food here. It is an social event. The chef told me that after this meal, I wouldn’t want pizza from anywhere else. I ordered Prosciutto and mushroom, thin crust. It was very good. I never had mushroom like that before. The pizza was a bit soggy by my standard.
Evening theory class till 10:30 pm. Mainly spent on the explanation of the theory of the three in Daoism thinking and in taiji.
