supergroup7 Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 We were having an outdoor class in a park in the shade of some trees. Sensei was calling out the techniques, and then counting us through. Well.. suddenly he called out "Baby falcons" The whole class stopped cold. All of the students looked totally baffled. I remember thinking that this must be some kind of different version of knifehand strikes. All of the lower belts looked to the higher sempai for guidance.. but they looked as confused as us. Sensei said "Baby falcons!" again.. but this time he was pointing up into the tree with a big grin.. Well .. golly gee.. there was a nest up there above us filled with tiny little baby falcon heads reaching up to their mommy falcon who was feeding them. The whole class broke out into laughter... and sounds of appreciating the joy, and beauty of that scene of nature. My spirit is never daunted by training, but sometimes my body begs to differ.
