Shifu: Class, line up!
The class did so. Po, however, stumbled to get in line. Tai Lung stifled a laugh.
Shifu: To begin today's training, you must first learn to balance. Posture is very important in learning kung fu. Everybody in ready position.
They all stood straight and tall with their paws together in front of them. Po copied.
Shifu: Position!
The students all, in unison, gracefully picked up one foot and stuck it out to the side. One arm was smoothly curved like a rainbow over their head with their other arm stretched out to the side.
When Po picked up his leg he immediately fell over. The other kids laughed hysterically.
Shifu: Class!
The laughter seized. Po stood back up and tried again, but clumsily toppled over. Tai Lung snickered. Shifu glared at him.
Shifu: Panda. You must concentrate. You can't just throw your weight around.
Tai Lung: Yeah, or else the whole place will come crashing down.
The others cracked up.
Shifu: Tai Lung! You are sentenced to the corner of shame. You have-
Tai Lung: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Disrespect, should be ashamed. I get it.
The leopard waded through the stuffing over to the chair.
Shifu: Try it again, Po. No rush. Take all the time you need.
Po: But what if it takes forever? I want to kick some bad guy butt! Hoy-yah!!!
Po kicked in mid-air and fell down again. Monkey and Mantis had to cover their mouths. Viper nudged them.
Shifu: Try.
Po attempted to balance again, but he fell once more.
Shifu: You'll get it soon enough. That was a little better. You have to focus on what you are doing or else you will lose your balance.
Po frowned. It was time for their next lesson.
Shifu: Tigress, you shall go first. Ready? Go!
Tigress broke a piece of wood in half with her eyes closed.
Po was astonished.
Po: Oh come on. Tigress is like a semi-pro. There's no way that everyone else here can do it.
Shifu picked up another board. Monkey kicked it out of his hands and kicked it again towards the wall. It hit the wall and shattered.
Next, Viper wrapped herself around the wood, squeezed, and it broke.
Crane easily sliced it in half with his wing. Mantis, somehow, kicked and broke it in half. Tai Lung violently split the board in half with his forehead.
Shifu presented a wooden board to Po.
Po: How do they do that? It doesn't make sense that they can do it when they're little.
Shifu: They can do it, because they have the mind and power. You would be surprised, Panda, that they still have a long way to go before they become masters. Go ahead and try. You will also be surprised that if you focus all your energy on your goal, you will become as well as them soon.
Po looked at the board funny. He stared at it like he could somehow break it with his mind. He puffed out his cheeks and started moving his arms around.
Po: You wanna piece of me? Well, I'm going to get a piece of you. Don't mock me, don't mock me.
Crane: Uh… what is he doing?
Viper: I think he's talking to the board.
Po kept on swinging his fists around, not actually hitting the wood.
Po: Get ready to feel the heat!
He finally slammed his paw down and then…
Po: OOWWWWWW!!!!!
