Improvised training (4 1/2 hours): thatching and shoveling. It turns out that thatching, which is essentially raking with an reasonable amount of resistance (in the case of my yard), is essentially a series of pi chuan stances and strikes. Shoveling out the not unsubstantial debris can be performed via a series of sliding bo strikes, and the subsequent raking is centerline clears with a bo.

Actually, quite exhausting. But, training can be found anywhere. If performed with martial intent.
