Throwing Hawks

A lengthy essay for a short and sweet point. A somewhat amazing task physics concerned - can be turned into a thoughtless relfex.

Just relax and throw don't think about it. That's the first thing I tell people when instructing newbies...

Good Stuff
 
It's like bowling... or golf...
Get the swing and release the right way, and also the follow-through...
Then just relax and practice... and practice some more...

Practice makes perfect...

And no, a group of women will not be sitting around naked wanting sex from you if you throw the hawk well... as if waiting for a 'rodent'...
 
A quote from my wife after she read the 'story'...

"Some men have wild imaginations emanating from their private parts. Get a life men! We women are not that desperate for your rodent. We will find and kill our own. Thank you!"

BTW... my wife throws a tomahawk quite well, and shoots quite well, too...

So what'd she want, rock(s)? :D
 
Like any good wife she simply wants a husband who loves her enough to make her feel like she is a priority to him...
Then I get respect from her, which turns into love...
 
Hummnnn reminds me of what a friend of mine said when a fellow practioner complained about his wife taking priority over a seminar.
To paraphrase: " This is the woman who I have sex with and cooks my meals. She IS the priority. "

That's not why my wife is a priority to me... that is pretty typical, though...
I think we have forgotten what love really is... maybe we are de-evolving???

Some have.......but I've been lucky to have one that still thinks I am a good man. She plays a role in all that I do. There would be no books, videos and training without her. Those that have trained with me will know, that this is the woman who opens her home to a herd of smelly, sweaty guys regularly and supports them with great meals and kind words. She is the reason my students became as much 'family' and now that things are slowing down are true friends. I hope everyone is as lucky as I. I've seen a generation of kids grow up around the guys that still train with me and you know....the mentoring is not dead.. you just have to look for it.

right. i painted with too broad a brush.

my point was simply, that you can tell a lot when you see men (especially) floundering, and it almost always goes back to how they were raised, and what was demanded of them, in their personal performance and behavior.


it's an ugly fact. just walk through, say, the middle-ranks of commissioned officers in any given service and ask questions like;

"Is your dad still married to your mother?"

"Did you grow up in a house?"

"Did some guy take you to the woods and let ya catch stuff on fire and throw tomahawks and make spears?"

"Did you have to mow the lawn when you were six?"

"Did you get to ride horses - in trade for taking care of them?"

"Were you beaten when you lied?"

i reckon you'll get a lot of yes's more often than not.


good examples come from good examples.

and bad from bad.


diamonds are made from pressure.

we all know this.

Dwight, You are a very Lucky man ....and Wise...
 
Now those are great responses!!!
Thanks, brothers!!! That was EXACTLY what I was talking about!!!
Sorry if I totally re-directed this thread, but it's nice to know there are others who feel the same way as I do...
Thanks vec, Dwight and Dusty!!!
 
Glock17JHP I think maybe things should be redirected more often. People have to get back to the basic's where a Job should mean something, a Family should mean something, Your word should mean something and a handshake should mean something.
And if you do something wrong you pay the consequences. A little more redirection. Sorry !

+ 1.

it is too narrow to have a bunch of people, that have an interest in common, simply focussing on that one thing, never becoming a community.

Ron Hood's site is the model for why "redirection" works, in my experience.


yes, deliver the message, reach the objective.

but not at the expense of humanity.


dat's wot i tink, mon.

:D
