Wildcatdojo Conversations

Welcome to an episode with myself, Sensei Jackie and Landyn. As the title suggests it's about consequences and it ends with us singing a song I invented years ago for kids. We posted it on YouTube...you'll hear.....in case you want to check it out - here's a link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymQsjiZddwg 
And if that's not enough - we sing it to the tune of a song from the 60's called Do Wah Diddy. Here's a link to Manfred Mann singing that song from 1964:

Amid all that craziness, I mention one of the books I have on Amazon: Teaching Children; Karate and More. Here's a link to that!:

With help of Sensei Lydia, we have fun talking about Shurikens (Throwing stars), Swords and Serenity. As we do every week, we laugh and share stories and are slightly tangential. But somehow we managed to get to the point! When we were talking about swords, I remembered that we did 3 episodes on swords in 2020. Here is the link to our first episode:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/4763822
And here is a link to one of my favorites. It is about the famous lost  Masamune sword:

Welcome to an episode we've been looking forward to. We're joined by Sensei (and Dr.) Melissa to talk about a special class our friend Sensei Cindy held a decade ago on breathing. If you, while listening, don't catch the deep breathing bug -and laugh more than you thought you would - I'll be surprised. We do mention an episode that ran a year ago on the karate saying Consistency Beats Intensity. Here's the link:

Today we travel from revenge to space talking with Ryan and Pam about the warrior gods Artemis and Apollo. Ryan is our regular expert on warrior gods. Here is his first appearance when we talked about the Monkey King:

And his mom Pam made her first appearance on our episode about home safety:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/11142251
In the episode Ryan talks about a YouTube Video of a guy playing a Lyre. Here's one I found (Im not sure it's what Ryan was referring to, but it's interesting:

What a great time we had - and the "we" was Sensei Randy, Sensei Tim, Sensei Jackie, and, of course, me - talking with some young people from one of our advanced classes. We talk about the karate saying "Hard work, long hours and constant repetition." This was recorded at a dojo. Although we sound proofed as much as possible, the sound is a little 'tinny' compared to our usual episodes. It is totally worth the lesser sound for both the adventure and the finished product. Let us know how you like it and share the link with anyone you'd like!
Check us out on the web to see pictures of the kids.

We attack (get it?) 13 weird weapons from history. Go to our twitter or insta pages to see pictures of the weapons. In this case - a picture really IS worth 1000 words.  Sensei Derek joined in the fun and we cover everything from a Urumi to the Tzar Tank and so much more.
At one point we're talking about chariots, which we talked about in our gladiator episodes. Here's a link to one of them:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/10633850
And we also mention the Atlatl. We introduced you to that in our archery episode. (There were 3 of those episodes!) Here's one:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/6125029
And then there was the mention of the trebuchet. We just covered that in catapults! Didn't catch it? Here ya go:

Tune in to meet our friend - Sensei Carlos and discuss the karate saying "Our Biggest Opponent is Ourselves." If you're a regular listener, you won't be surprised to hear we had fun. One of the topics we talked about was Ego. Way back in 2020 we did a whole episode on that. Here is the link:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/2985007
In case we have a any new listeners, I thought I'd tag in our 5 minute episode on the word "Oos" (More commonly spelled "Osu"). This one first aired in November of 2019:

Sensei Jackie, Landyn and I welcome you to our first archived episode of 2023. We chose the episode where we shared a story from Grandmaster Urban's book - The Karate Dojo. (It's a fine book. Check it out if you don't already own it!)
Here is another episode where we reference his book:

Also, we spoke to a young man who spent 6 months in a Chinese Monastery. What a great interview (thank you Sensei Max). Check it out here:

Today we're joined by Sensei Derek to discuss spies. We started espionage last week. And this week, we cover some famous spies from history. We were all amazed at the different characters that make up the spy game. After you listen, share your spy story with us . We'd love to hear it.
Just to do something different, I went all the way back to year 2 and retrieved one of Sensei Dereks first appearances. This episode is on Aikido.
