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!

Welcome to another conversation with our friend Sifu Rob Jones. We're discussing booby traps, eye patches and newspapers...as weapons. We first interviewed Sifu Jones back in 2021.

Have you ever heard the saying? We look at it, laugh with it, and talk about the idea that it just might be possible - at least most of the time. Listen and then share your thoughts.

Can you believe we've made it through 5 years of recording? Wow. We want to thank all our guests and all our listeners for all the fun, information, and adventure.

A Budoka Odyssey is the title of the book by our guest Shihan TD McKinnon. It's always fun to talk with Shihan, and this is no exception. We talk about where to buy the book - and of course Amazon is there, but so is a site called Lulu.com. Shihan has been a guest many times. I'm going to attach 2 of them here.

Since September is a 5 week month-and therefore a 'rerun' month, I thought that this was a nice fit with 2 of the episodes of August - The Last Samurai battle and man. This episode doesn't need much explanation. Don't forget, though, that we ARE on insta @ wildcatdojoconversations. Hey - can I use the word 'remastered' for our reruns. I try to update the sound as technology allows. We mention a lot of podcasts that we should do in this episode. And we did them! I won't list them all. Here's a...

This week we’re joined by Matthew and Kim to discuss The Martial Arts by Laura Scandiffio – a kid’s book. This book was fun to read and even more fun to talk about. So many subjects came up during the recording because the book is an introduction to almost every style of Martial Art.

Interview with Taiko Drummers and Friends

2024/07/29

Taiko is a Japanese term for any kind of drum. Over time the art of drumming, like other art forms, became a world wide phenomenon. I was lucky enough to make a friend of one such artist - Ben. Sensei Jackie and I were extra lucky to go to their dojo and see many of their drums, meet a student - Orion and get this interview. I know you're going to hear our joy as we share our mutual love of the arts. Since we really didn't mention any old episodes, I decided one that is a good fit was o...

Thanks for checking out today's episode. The words we're discussing are: To be good, find a good teacher, to master teach. This is something I heard Master Kelljchian say decades ago.
