We all stood in front of the newly built sparring deck. Sensei Lawrence, Sensei LaRusso and Dad stood on it facing us.

"Hi-yah!" We all shouted.

Then, Sam LaRusso fought her father and Rae fought hers. It looked like a tough fight as well it was student vs teacher. Luckily, Dad never participated in the child vs father fights as I know I would have been beaten.

Then we went on to meditation. Sensei LaRusso was leading it as Dad and Sensei Lawrence were participating in the session.

—————————🤛—————————

The session finished; Jason's and Rae shared an awkward hug. Dad, Sensei Lawrence and Sensei LaRusso shared a fist bump as a send off. Dad took us to the car and played his playlist like always.

The song was 'I fought the Law' I didn't know who it was by but the song sounded cool.

"So, Jason." Dad began. "You'll be training with LaRusso and Holly you'll be training with Johnny."

"So Miyagi-Do and Sensei Lawrence" Holly asked.

"And Eagle Fang and Sensei LaRusso." Jason added.

"Pretty much. I'll be working with LaRusso as our styles of teaching are pretty similar." Dad told us.

"You don't teach that much Dad." Jason pointed out.

"Eh, I help out. Maybe one day I'll teach a small lesson." Dad told us. "We all know you and Holly loved my lessons." He laughed and both me and Jason nodded.

"I remember when you bought us pizza and made us practice for it." I reminded everyone.

"Uncle Finn came in and stole it." Jason laughed remembering the memory.

"Oh speaking if Uncle Finn he adopted a little girl and she's turning 4 soon." Dad said pulling into the driveway. "You're both invited to her mermaid birthday party."

Jason let out a groan.

"Do I have to?" Jason complained.

"Johnny said he's allowing Rae to go" Dad let out.

"Never mind." Jason muttered.

Sensei Lawrence took us up around 10 flights of stairs. It was very boring and felt like the session on a whole but the Miyagi-Do's pushed through.

"Where are we going?" Nathanial complained.

"Nowhere good." Demitri told us. "I heard he drowned a kid trying to teach him how to kick."

"No way that's true Demitri." I said.

"Let's go Miyagis! Move your asses!" Sensei Lawrence shouted.

We got to the top of the building. It was empty. The only thing there was the edge of roof. Looking down I could see mattresses conveniently placed below them.

"What we doing here?" Sam asked.

"When an eagles hungry, it doesn't hesitate." Sensei Lawrence told everyone. "It'll dive down a hundred miles per hour to snatch its prey. It doesn't wait around for a fish to jump on its feet."

"Talons." Demitri said.

"It's not talent it's instinct." Sensei Lawrence says. "An eagle knows it has to make the first move. If you want to beat Cobra Kai in the All Valley, you gotta break yourself of this wait-and-see crap."
