Karate is for everyone. So, join us each week for a 20 to 25 minute conversation on all types of subjects. We go from managing the distractions of daily life, through martial arts history and people, and common sense concepts to add to your self defense armor. Plus we have interviews and so much more. After spending over 40 years discussing life"s challenges in a dojo, (both as a student and as a teacher) I decided it would be fun to share the conversations with everyone. And it is!

2025/08/25

One of the great parts of recording this podcast is the amazing people we meet. Hanshi Melendez is a perfect example. She was So much fun to talk with. We met her through Hanshi Seymour. Jic you missed Hanshi Seymour's interview back in January, here it is: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/16424997 In the beginning of the show, we say that we're going to hear about her time competing in Madison Square Garden.

This adage from Master Kelljchian himself, and written in his book 365 Days of the Warrior, spoke to me, Sensei Jackie and Sensei Lydia - so we had to visit it in a little detail. It's jam packed with stories and what each one of us think he meant when he shared it with us. After you listen, share your thoughts with us. (And your stories from teaching children). I'm attaching an episode we did back in 2020 about teaching. Enjoy that too: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/epi...

How lucky to have both Sensei Jay (the voice of the opening and closing) and Sensei Landyn join myself and Sensei Jackie today. I learned so much.

Last year we aired a couple of episodes on nutrition. Since then, we've been hoping to get a vegan point of view. Boy did we get lucky to be introduced to Ellen Kanner. (Thanks Sensei Tracey) She's funny, knowledgeable and full of great ideas. If you love cooking - you'll be surprised at all the options.

Summer fun is here and we're going to the (home) movies. Spoiler Alert - we recommend this movie even though it is 30 years old. First, I want to give credit to the Fushu Daiko Drummers for the change in the opening sounds. We recommend you follow them on Facebook and experience them live. They're amazing.

In earlier episodes we called these our blooper reels. They have grown into a place where we revisit friends and subjects we covered in the last 6 months. This summer is a blockbuster, as they say. So many excuses to look at episodes you might have missed. For example we talk about our episode on Wabi Sabi. We did 2 episodes on it. Here's the latest one: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/16898149 And how about our reference to our aging and training episodes from 2022. Here is ...

Welcome to the second episode on Armor. Today it is Samurai Armor. Of course Sensei Jackie, Sensei Landyn and I had so many tangents while discussing this subject. Mostly about weapons through the centuries. And of course we've done episodes on so many of the weapons. Let's start with the swords. Here's a link to our first episode on swords. (There were a few.): https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/4763822 And we brought up the Naginata. Want to hear about that weapon? Here ya go: https...

We have fun discussing Armor, armor and more armor with Sensei Landyn. It was so much busier than I expected. How can you talk about armor, without mentioning the Gladiators. Here's the episode we did on Gladiators back in 2022: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/10465420 We also mention swords. We did a few episodes on swords.

I say finally because, like many episode ideas, this one has been on my list since 2019 when we started recording. I'm so happy we took the time to learn what we could and share it. Ip Man was a strong and honorable practitioner. Ip Man studied Wing Chun and we did an episode on the beginning of Wing Chun.

I received a copy of this poem in school - a long time ago. The other day, we were talking about it and decided to bring the conversation to the podcast. Landyn, Sensei Jackie and I laugh quite a bit. Hope you do too. This isn't our first episode on teaching. Here's one from 2023: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/13330690 Somehow we ended up talking about my favorite subject - self control.

This episode has stories from Hanshi Malanoski and some feedback from followers of Hanshi Ray Batlle's Facebook page. I thank them both. We also tell a few stories of our own and maybe clear up some confusion for people who have just started training.

We're joined by Kim to talk about another history of female warriors. This one is full of myths, legends and of course controversies.

Our first one was back in 2020, where we were introduced to 2 Japanese women fighters. Here's the link: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/3227506 There have been quite a few episodes.

Since we did an episode on that, I'll tag it here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/9007481 With Shihan we discussed everything from the importance of repetition to the need to focus.

Boundaries: Making them and Keeping them. Thoughts?

Wildcatdojo Conversations ·

2025/04/14

This episode is a listener request. Setting and maintaining boundaries, like so many things we've discussed on this show, is a lifelong responsibility (to yourself?). When the request came through, the person didn't specify physical safety or internal challenges. So we tackled both. However, we've talked about physical safety quite a few times. Here are some of the episodes. Our first episode was back in 2019! Here's the link: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/2089278 In this e...
