In Loving Memory

[edricus]

My dads aunt Evy passed avay a few weeks ago and today it was the funeral. She was 94 years old and had a full life so no one of us felt sad, but as always a funeral is an emotional occasion.

I took this picture the las time I saw her at the nursing home. Here together with my father.
Camera: Nikon D50 and turned the picture BW in paint.net added a bit of contrast.
I lke this picture a lot and it is one of my absolute favourites.

So apart from the sad news. Im feelng better. Finally the flu is goooooone. I can feel energy returning to my body. With any luck I will be able to start practice the coming week again. Im planing on wednesday, might do some form at home by myself tough.

Me and grandmster Qian Zhouhong, of the Xin Yi Liu He Quan
Heart Intention six harmonies boxing.

The Xin Yi Liu He Quan is an extremely interesting martial arts system, apparently there is documentation of its movements and patterns back to the 1500ds ca 1570 wich makes it one of the worlds oldest documented martial arts. Normally it is not considerd to be an internal system, its ofspring system of Xing Yi is. But Qian has added a lot of internal aspects from Taji chuan and QiGong into his teaching.
It is really interesting to do "normal" martial arts and to see what happens when you add. SCA heavy fighting.
