Wildcatdojo Conversations

We hope you enjoy this experiment and let us know either way! We're joined by Sensei Derek to record a word episode. Instead of doing it the way we have for the last (almost) 4 years, we decided to use the Overlook Martial Arts Dictionary  by Emil Farkas and John Corcoran. We tackled some words beginning with the letter L and learned lots along the way. Of course, we mentioned old episodes. For example - we talked about Grandmaster Ed Parker. The episode that we did about him also includes Elvis Presley. What fun! Here's a link:

And we mention our friend and constant contributor Sifu Rob Jones. He did an episode where he talked  about the history of Kung Fu. Here is that link:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/13231287
And I cannot leave this moment behind without mentioning the episode we did on Wing Chun Kung Fu back in 2021:

The first thing I need to say is this: I aired this episode on 10.2.23 unedited and 4 people listened before I noticed, pulled it, and finished the edits. Oops!! So, if you're one of those 4 people, please listen again, write me at [email protected] and let me know how annoying it was before I edited it AND did the craziness of the non-edited version make you want to be on the show? let's make that happen!
Now on to King Tut.  It's a fun and information filled episode. Sensei Derek joined us. We did laugh a little too much, but that is pretty common. Let me know if you enjoyed it. Please!!
Now down to business. Have a minute and a dollar? Support the show by clicking the link below and I thank you.

Welcome to some fun with our friend Shihan TD Mckinnon.  To quote the end of the episode - we talk about some "high falutin" concepts and bring them down to earth. I hope you enoy listening 1/2 as much as we enjoyed talking with one another. I was reading one of Shihan's  blogposts and that is what sparked this conversation. Here is the link to Shihan's Blog, in case you have time to check it out:

TD Mckinnon has been on many times. I'm linking the episode where we get his opinions on wrestling.

As the title tells you - there is more to say about the book American Shaolin. Sensei Baier stayed with us and we talked people, places and friends mentioned in the book. At one point when we (inevitably) discuss iron kung fu, it leads us to makiwara training. We did an episode on that. So of course, here's a link:

What fun we had (Sensei Tracey, Sensei Jackie, myself and a first time guest - Sensei Richard Baier) discussing one man's adventure in China. We hope and expect that Sensei Baier will be on many times in the future. This book has so many aspects to it that we'll need two episodes to cover it all. It reminds me of when we read Living the Martial Way. If you're interested. Here's the link to the first of 3 episodes on that book:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/8783348
But back to today. One of the things that came up in conversation was the fact that Sensei Tracey's son Sam had his own adventure in China. Luckily, we interviewed him and here's a link to that interview:

Listen today as we learn about a Judo Club in England from our new friend Amy. Here's the link to the dojo. It is run by Sensei Shawn Bullman:
https://hdjudoclub.wixsite.com/hdjudoclub
I thank Sensei Bullman for allowing Amy to share with us.
Amy's daughter trains in Essex, UK and she wanted to share what it's like from the parents perspective. As always happens- we laughed and learned a lot. We talked about Jiguro Kano. In case you missed it here's a link where you can hear more about the founder of Judo:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/10515380
And we talked about how she picked the dojo (good choice Amy!). If you missed our episode on that, here's a link:

We're joined by Sensei Randy to discuss anime - after watching 3 hours of it.  Listen for all kinds of crazy conversation, our take away on anime and a few details too! Sensei Randy has been a guest since we started the podcast. Here is his second appearance - an episode about growth in karate at the intermediate level:

Admit it - this is weird! Sensei Jackie and Landyn decided we should do this and I agreed. So....They really do interview me. It felt strange and yet we had a lot of fun. We couldn't possibly get through this episode without mentioning Master Kelljchian. In 2020 we did an episode where we shared stories about our teacher. Here's the link:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/2384333
We want to do another one. I'm collecting stories now. Want to share yours? Get in touch, please.
And we also touched on the episode about Mas Oyama. Here's that link:

One more thing: keep reading to see our new link to support the show. If you can, any help is appreciated.

Most importantly, stay  tuned till the very end. Sensei Jerri, our guest, shares a memory after the credits. As the title tells you, we talk fans as weapons. So much to share here, we hope you enjoy it. Sensei Jerri was on the show for the first time in 2022, and a few times since. Here is another episode with her: 
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/10081139
And somehow we manage to mention that we've done shows on Samurai:

Ninja:

And Ronin:
