Episode 39: Warrior Mindset with the USAFA Falconry Club

In Chapter 5.3 of The Art of War, we read:

鷙鳥之擊, 至于毀折者, 節也。是故善戰者, 其勢險, 其節短, 勢如張弩, 節如機發。

Control is the strike of a bird of prey, that can even destroy and snap bones.  As such, the dominating power of those who excel at warfare is narrowly concentrated [on strategic and tactical advantages], their control is concise [precise in critical moments]; their power is as a taut crossbow, their control is as a trigger release.

In this episode of “Warrior: The Art of War for Life” we return to another “Warrior Mindset” interview, this time with Cadet First Class (C1C) Evan Komschlies and Cadet Second Class (C2C) Logan Oneil, two members of the USAFA Falconry club and “Nova” the Air Force Academy mascot.

Join us for fascinating insights into how these majestic birds use vision and patience in addition to speed and control to dominate the air.
