It's a staple of 80s Ninja movies, but it's true: Catching a falling
cup. Actually the idea for this came to me as I caught a water bottle
which fell off my desk yesterday. A passing student knocked it off,
and even though I was rummaging through my bag for a teacher's book,
my right hand shot out and caught it as it tipped over. I surprised
myself but I don't think anyone else noticed.

I'd even go so far as to "speculate" that combined with situational
awareness, "fast eyes and fast hands" are a prerequisite for good
martial arts.

So, how about you? Do you have any cup-catching stories to share? :)

This post is beyond uncanny. I NEVER drop stuff and fail to catch
it.....until today.

It was a cup...full of boiling water...and I now have a nice burn to prove
it.

Stolen your chi, Renli has.

I usually move to catch *** before it's falling. I can even do it
sometimes behind my back.

Most people move to where the thing is, you need to move to where it's
going to be. Gravity is a quick little mfer.
