For some having a Dojo and students is the literal and most worthy goal.

So in this one we will talk about why closing my Dojo was both a difficult thing, and a much needed step into the next stage of training. The value of lessons learnt on the way with all those who came through the doors can't be put into words. And how its the start of a new chapter or the resumption of an old one.

Have a listen and you decide.

We often focus on the idea that we must pass on a legacy and int that vein try to find the student/s who will receive all the teachings we may have spent a lifetime accruing.

But want if our "legacy" is not even close to what we thought it was?

In part 3 of 3, Hanshi McCarthy gives his toughts on the intersection of academia and research, his experiences at Shaolin, competitive & combative Karate, those who created and help shape the tradition, some of his favourite books, Olympic Taekwondo, HEMA and so much more, a deeply insightful and reflective conversation with someone who refused to drink the “coolade” and has at times kicked over the metaphorical tables of those who continue to sell it.

We continue our conversation with Hashi McCarthy as he gives his thoughts on Kata and the demystification of old and very long held meme’s that seem to exist in Dojo the world over. He speaks about his formative influences and reflects on those people, places and experiences that inspired his own journey. He also talks about what world shaping events lead him back to the land of Karate!
