This archived episode from our Wrestling series is worth listening to for so many reasons. If you're hearing it for the first time or as a repeat, you laugh and learn. A fun 20 minutes that includes Sensei James as our guest. The first time he was on we discussed Miyamoto Musashi. Here's a link, in case you missed it:

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. Sensei Derek joins us today to mess around with the concept. We had fun - as we always do. Before we got into this weeks episode we discuss 2 pieces of listener mail we got regarding the episode on Planning your Work. In case you missed that episode. Here it is:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/15115807
O course, the conversation on teaching, learning and growing touched on ego. We ran an episode on ego back in 2020. So....it is on the podcast thread and on the YouTube uploads. Here's a link to the YouTube episode:

What fun we had interviewing Ms. Kapp. Between her podcast (Meticulous Moments), her motivational speaking and her training in Shotokan , the conversation was lively and went to fast. Speaking of Shotokan, we have discussed Gichin Funikoshi a few times. Here's one of them:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/10908006
Now back to Juanita Kapp. Her schedule is so busy that she had to do the interview while traveling. Don't let the outside noise distract you from the laughter filled conversation. Ms. Kapp was a joy to interview.

Chinese weapons with Sifu Jones is on the menu today. Our first interview with Sifu was back in 2021. Here's a link in case you missed it:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/8931796
Sifu talks about swords and spears he uses and owns. I put a video of him on our twitter (and insta) page.  Here's a link:
https://twitter.com/wildcatdojo
We mention that we've done too many episodes on weapons to count. Picking ones to
link was tricky, but here's one we did on the Ax:

And one more. This one is about weird weapons:

Spending time with friends
A memory forever
That makes me smile.
Enjoy our latest book episode - we take a little bit different approach today - a few books on one subject - Haiku. The first thing that happened was that Sensei Jackie mentioned that Haiku reminded her of our episode reviewing the movie Budo. Heres the link so you can see for your self:

Sensei Lydia joins in this week to talk about John Corcoran and Emil Farkas - the authors of The Overlook Martial Arts Dictionary and the book Martial Arts Traditions, History, People. We covered so much information in this episode. Somehow we got to Ninja - and of course - we did an episode on that. Here's a link:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/4401074
And we also mention the episode we did on Fumio Demura. Listen here:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/5982394
Btw - I did compare the publishing company of my copy of the Traditions book to Sensei Jackie's - she was right - they are different publishing companies and were printed 10 years apart! Thanks Sensei Jackie.
Well - I bet you remember that the link below is there so you can support the show - if you have an extra minute and an extra buck! Thanks in advance.

Geraldo returns today to talk about a maxim we attribute to Grandmaster Peter Urban. Geraldo was on 6 months ago, when we discussed note taking in karate. Here's a link - in case you missed that episode. 
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/14235323
Today the conversation ranges from how many famous people have said the phrase to long term planning to doing kata in the dojo. We did an entire episode on kata last year. Here's a link jic:

What fun we had learning about Queens that fought in Britain with our guest Shihan T.D. McKinnon. Shihan has been on many times. Just last November we discussed Kata with him. The episode I want to tag here is the one where he talks about life as a bodyguard.  Listen - if time allows:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/12796037
This is not our first time talking about the history of women who fought. We did one back in 2020 about 2 Ferocious Women. Check it out here:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/3227506
We also  mention that one of these queens fought against the Romans. Well, we did 2 podcasts of the Roman Warriors. Here's one of them:
