Wildcatdojo Conversations

The idea of the commitment involved in being a Sensei came in my mind a couple of months ago. I did not remember that we had an episode called "What's it like Being a Sensei" back in March of 2020. Did you remember it? I just listened to it. Luckily, they compliment each other. (Whew, I lucked out). Here's the episode from 2020:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/2859052 
In this episode we're joined by Sensei Jay. We definitely reference our episode on picking a dojo. So here's a link to that one:
 https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/2796634
And somehow we managed to refer to our aging and training episodes. (There were 2). I'm tagging the 2nd one in this time. They originally played in Oct and Nov of last year. Here's the link:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/11594095
Finally, we have a new way for you to support us. Look down a couple of lines and you'll see the link that says "Support the Show". If you can support us, I'd sure appreciate it. Every little bit makes a difference. Thank you!

While typing this I wanted to say a bad pun along the lines of "Welcome to a wild episode", but thought better of it. Meanwhile, this episode really is wild - so let us know if you enjoy it. We have Sensei Jay and that's always a plus. Also, we cover so much that we even mention Kenpo and Ed Parker. Of course we did an episode on that. Here's the link:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/6535051 
Also, at one point we're talking about snakes, and the percentage that are poisonous. I looked up that statistic and we were pretty accurate. Only 10 - 15% of snakes world wide are poisonous to humans! (Good to know.)
I'll finish with some big news - You can now support us personally with a small donation (every dollar helps - no kidding). You can use pay pal or any credit card. I would appreciate your occasional support. Thanks!! Please click the link below:

Regular listeners know that we use the 5th week of a month to share an archived episode. This is a fun one with Sensei Jerri - we talk Kendo Basics and the Four Poisons of Kendo. At one point, while talking poisons, Sensei Jackie says "you want to do an episode on that". Well, we did it and here's a link:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/10340583
And somehow the conversation turns to archery. We've done a lot on that - I'm sharing the link to our live YouTube event on just that:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyQn3q6yLBQ&t=161s
And finally, we somehow segue to the karate saying that starts "what we do a lot of.." Of course, we did an episode on that. Link here:

Finally, we take a look at Kung fu. I can't believe it's taken this long! An added bonus is that our good friend - Sifu Rob Jones - leads us on this journey - so you know we have fun. . Thank you Sifu. We touch on everything from the TV series Kung fu to Katanas. Here are all the links to the episodes we mention. Let's start with the fact that we talked about the TV series of the same name. Here is that episode:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/7903534
And if that isn't enough fun for you, we discuss the southern Kung fu style of Wing Chun. We did an entire episode about that. Here's the link:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/8153789
And one of the many controversies we laugh about has to do with the origin of the katana. We did at least 3 episodes on swords (but we're not obsessed). This one is specific to the katana:

https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/12326414
Back to today - have you ever heard of the sword (and zen) master Gettan? We'll talk about him. And we visit one of our favorite zen sayings to go with it. Along the way we mention both our zen episode and our episode on Gogen Yamaguchi. Here's a link to the Zen episode:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/3048700
And one to the Master Yamaguchi episode:

As the title states - we take a look at a few facets of Genghis Kahn and his grandson. I want to mention that there was one ruler after Kublai Kahn- his name was Toghon Teműr.  Sorry I forgot to say that in the episode. But, as usual, we cover a lot. We mention all the times Sensei Randy has been on the show. In May  of 2020 he was on the episode about the Code of the Warrior. Here's the link in case you missed it:
 https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/3554455
We mention that we've done an episode on Strategy - actually we did two episodes in December of 2020. Here's the link to one:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/6639256
And while talking about the creepiness of Genghis's ruthlessness we mention our poison episode - that one was a hoot!:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/10340583
Of course you can't talk about strategy without mentioning Sun Tzu. Here's our episode on his book The Art of War:

Welcome to another letter episode. Be sure to let us know if you like how crazy these episodes get and also if you have anything to add to the discussion.

The title says it all. We talk yoyos and boomerangs and we share our adventure throwing the boomerang. To make it more fun Sensei Derek is our guest. We relate the boomerang back to everything from Axes to Kobudo weapons and more. In case you missed some of those episodes. Here are some links. 
We covered axes in 2021:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/6894266
Although we had 3 or 4 episodes on kobudo weapons, our first episode was in 2020:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/5660665  
And finally, we mention the saying "What you do a lot of you become very good at." We did an episode on that:
