Some time ago I was listening to a a friend's podcast, Conversations on Karate, and they were chatting with a person that I had never heard of, Dr James Hatch.  I really enjoyed hearing about his approach to Karate, weapons training and tradition.  A lot of our views are polar opposite to each other, but at the same time I can appreciate his viewpoint and reasoning.  Fast forward a few months and here we are talking with James Sensei and having a great time exchanging our views on mental health, traditions and weapons.  Did we agree?  Well, you'll have to listen and form your own opinion.  At one point James and I agreed that it can be embarrassing to be a foreigner in a land when you are not 100% fluent in the language - let me know who you think made the worst faux pas... 

If you would like to read more of James' opinions and articles please check his blog:

Tracey Radley is a mother, martial artist and founder of the Kuroten Practical Karate club. Our conversation revolves around Tracey's martial arts journey, how she got involved in Karate and how she transferred into the practical side of this art. We explore female views on martial arts, for example the barriers and obstacles that women face in their practice. We cover mental health, inclusion and disability training aspects. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation and hope that you will find it interesting and of value.

Samantha and Paul Harrison are a lovely martial couple, Goju exponents and ever searching for knowledge. We met at a seminar and I immediately liked them, open, funny and eager to learn. Our paths crossed many time since then, and thanks to the lock down we have had the chance to train together and exchange views. In this episode we talk martial marriage, how it is to be married and run a Karate business. We talked about inclusion, equality, mental health and training.  

I hope that you will enjoy this episode. If you do please give a thumbs up to Sam and Paul on their FB page:

I had a conversation with Jen  Mok and Chris Hanson on the subject of what life is like being in a relationship with a martial artist. Jen is a school teacher and fitness instructor, and Chris is a teacher too and a martial artist.  Chris has relentless energy and passion for the martial arts, promoting cross training via his Karate Unity platform.  Our conversation focused on how marriage can be effected by a positive obsession, what challenges impacts this relationship, and what are the benefits for both Jen and Chris as a result of this unique situation.
