I know, I know, who the.... is Red Eagle? In a few words, great master with high ranks in more martial arts, who came to train for some months in our school in order to prepare for his 5th Dan TKD promotion test under Master Kim's supervisory. But - that is not all. He is native American, precisely Navajo, probably the only one with high FAA certificate, commercial airline jet pilot with 24.000+ hours of flight mostly as captain, who was two (!) times in Vietnam in his young days and generally with rich and full life behind. He was hired by Adria Airways to fly regional flights on CRJ 200 and 900 jets (these guys are funny, so many planes and so few pilots).
It was tremendously interesting to talk to that guy beside couple of beers - about martial arts, Taekwondo specifically, or aviation. He is full of tricks, practical advices and knowledge. And very agile for a man of age 57.
As no one ever before gave me Navajo name, he thought out one for me: "The One Who SOUNDS Like Bruce Lee". :)
I hoped to hear and learn a lot or at least to spend much nice time in interesting talks and write something about him on this blog, but - yesterday I found out that maybe he will not return to Slovenia after taking his promotion test in November. Mabye that will not hold...
This blog is about training and living with Tae Kwon Do.
