BÀBA'S TRAINING PART 1

After their mother helped them change into their practice robes and shoes, the siblings stepped into their courtyard where their father was already stretching.

"Come, my little warriors! Let's begin!" He shouted, a mischievous smile forming on his face.

The siblings ran over to where he stood, watching attentively as their father began to demonstrate the morning exercises. "Follow me," he instructed, his voice carrying both authority and warmth.

"When stretching, don't just do them willy nilly. Stretch your muscles properly and with purpose," he demonstrated, moving his arms in slow, deliberate arcs. "Each movement prepares your body for what's to come."

Li Hua watched intently and followed his movements, stretching deeply. She could feel the lingering soreness from her training last night but kept her face carefully neutral as she matched her father's routine.
