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!

Armor Through the Ages

Wildcatdojo Conversations ·

2025/06/30

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. One of my favorites is about the lost Masamune sword. Here's a link: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/5050196 Thanks for listening and all your suppo...

I explain in the episode, so no details are needed here, how we decided to look at some of the thoughts Master Kelljchian shared in his book 365 Days of the Warrior. We reviewed the Book back in 2021.Heres a link: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/7049776 We're so lucky to have Hanshi Malanoski share some thoughts at the end of this show.

2025/06/09

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. Here's the link: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/8153789 I'm tagging an episode on the Moral Code of the Warrior because that came up in this episode. Enjoy: https://...

Hope you enjoy another letter episode that includes the kata (form, dance) Empi Ha and so much more. As usual we refer to many subjects that we've discussed on past episodes. For example: we talked about Kobudo weaponry. We did many episodes on this subject.

Thus a Child Learns - A Poem By Dr. Frederick Moffitt

Wildcatdojo Conversations ·

2025/05/19

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.

Fumio Demura is known for many things in Martial Arts. We did a biography of him back in 2020. Here's the link: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/5982394 What fun we had watching this movie, laughing and snacking. Somehow, in our review we mentioned Master Joe Hess. We've also done a biography on him: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/12516431 And we also discussed Emil Farkus. You will see him if you watch the documentary.

Uke - The Good, The Bad and The Crazy

2025/05/05

First off - an Uke is a Japanese word meaning partner in Karate training. Have I got your interest? 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. After you listen, get in touch and tell us your stories of good and bad partnering experiences. As far as tagging episodes into these...

Viking Women Warriors

We're joined by Kim to talk about another history of female warriors. This one is full of myths, legends and of course controversies. While I was writing these notes, I decided to look back at other episodes we've recorded female fighters in history. 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.

We have two guests for this episode. I'm thankful to Sifu Jones from the UK who opens the show and to Shihan McKinnon who takes it home for us. Their input is amazing and appreciated. With Sifu Jones we talked about basics. That got us to thinking about the movie Budo. 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...

A Book Review - Wabi Sabi

Wildcatdojo Conversations ·

2025/04/07

Welcome to a second look at Wabi Sabi: a Japanese philosophy that I'm going to define too simply as a celebration of imperfection. In this episode we look at 3 different books about the subject. Our first look at this, a favorite subject, was back in 2020. My favorite memory of that recording was our guests, Sensei Tracey and Sensei Sam. Interested? Here's a link: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/2735464 You cannot discuss Wabi Sabi without bringing up Haiku. What a beautiful ...

I added the movie you mentioned, Five Fingers of Death, to our list of movies to watch and discuss. Thanks for the suggestion. For our listeners that aren't familiar with which kata go with which system. No worries. The story still works. If you want more information about kata, we did an entire episode on it.

At one point Landyn quotes the term "frog march" and none of us knew what it referred to....so I looked it up. Turns out it's just moving a person with their hands behind their back. We also mention our episode on Plan Your Work. In case you missed it.

What a great time we had when Paula and Eddy visited. A note as you listen: We HAVE tried MREs and we did put it on one of our social media - not sure if it was YouTube or Twitter though. We had a blast (since it wasn't a real emergency). The food was tolerable - not your mother's cooking, of course. Also, we'd love to hear your go bag hints and stories. Thanks for listening.

This episode is wonderful stories by our magnificent guests that just didn't fit into their original episodes, peppered with a few of our mistakes and a lot of our laughter. I'll tag as many of the episodes as I can below, but they ran from June to December of last year. So they will be easy to find. Thanks so much for being part of this adventure. Here are some of the original episodes. First up, Haiku from last June: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/15178474 Next up - 1 of th...
