Wildcatdojo Conversations

We're joined by Sensei Lydia and Sensei Derek as we take a look through the history of Spy v Spy. There are surprises around every corner. (Hey, a spy joke!) Join in the fun. Can we talk espionage without talking about poisons? In case you missed our entire episode on poisons - here's the link:

And we mention the episode we did on the karate saying - If our Karate is perfect, we never have to use it. So here's the link to that recent episode:

Sensei Jay joins in today as we discuss words like courtesy and can't.  If  you've listened to letter episodes before then you know that they are based on an exercise I sometimes do with students, always unpredictable, and usually funny. Today does not disappoint. For example, Landyn and I start singing a song we recorded 8 years ago to remind us that consequences exist. It's worth clicking the link to see Landyn at age 7! Here it is:

We're Starting 2023 with Hercules. How much fun is this? Ryan joins us, of course. He is, after all, our mythology expert. Hercules was (is?) a hoot! We are all over the conversation map on this one. We bring up Thor and although he ran recently, I've tagged him below:

In that episode we mention an app called Listenable. They have a great course on Odysseus. We have a self-defense course with them, as well. Here's a link to their site if you want to check it out. I believe they have a 7 day free trial:

At one point we talk about how they thought of time in ancient mythology. If you're like me- time is a conundrum. We did a podcast on it and here's the link:

The end of 2022 is here. I can not believe how fast it went. We managed to get 2 full episodes of bloopers out of this year (The usual amount, now that I think of it.) Laugh along with us as we look back on episodes we recorded in the last 1/2 of the year - and scroll down to check out episodes you might have missed.
We did a you tube video  on Master Kelljchian's creativity. It is totally worth a few minutes of your time - also follow us on YouTube (we post occasionally). Here's the link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXw5SU_rEl8
And we did a podcast on it, too and here's the link:

This year we gained a new correspondent - Ryan. He helps us navigate the insanity of Mythological warriors. He's been on 3 times so far. His first appearance was a fun episode on The Monkey King. Check it out:

And my final link of an episode is the one on Catapults and Trebuchets. Boy that was fun:

Today's book - Classical Chokes - was written by our instructor, Master Joseph Kelljchian. In editing I realized that we never stated on air that choking is dangerous. It is not a game and shouldn't be used unnecessarily. Master Kelljchian put a warning in the beginning of the book stating all this. Having said that - let's get to the fun:
We spend time talking about everything from the types of  chokes to the tone of the text. We had fun and hope you have fun listening. I think it is coincidental that just 2 weeks ago we did a podcast on the saying "If my karate is perfect I never have to use it." For those of you who are new to the show, I've tagged that episode here. It reiterates the need to only use violence when all other avenues have been exhausted:

However, if you are trying to defend yourself, especially in your own home. You might find this episode on home safety handy:

Join in the conversation today with Landyn's friend Raymond. Honestly, I couldn't describe this conversation if I tried. It ranges from elections, to dojos and from debate to talky 6 year olds. I bet you will be entertained and I'm always interested in your feedback. BTW-  the conversation was supposed to be about self-control and we managed to occasionally stay on point! We didn't reference any old episodes on this show. But we have a blooper episode around the corner. So, to get you in the mood, I've attached an old episode of bloopers, just for fun.

It is so difficult to pick which type of episode is our favorite. We love them all. But today, with just the basic crew of Sensei Jackie, Landyn, myself and another old karate adage we manage to have fun and learn (two favorite things!). Please listen and send feedback. We love your opinions. I have a quick correction. Somewhere in all the talking I said that another karate saying was 'Repetition Beats Intensity' but the actual karate saying is "Consistency Beats Intensity." And we covered that topic back in March. Here is the link:

Other subjects that we touch on today (that were in previous episodes) include:

Today we're joined by Sensei Derek to laugh as we look at the history, science and modernization of catapults and trebuchets. (With a few distractions as we start.) Need I say, there are a lot of opinions along the way. If you want to understand why Landyn dislikes the word Constantinople, you'll need to listen to our next Blooper episode. It will air on 12.26. Catch it anytime after that. Sensei Derek has been on many times. I picked a few of my favorites, in case you didn't hear them when they aired. We talked Ninjas back in 2020:

We had fun, with our guest Pam, as we talk about everything from ridgehands to responsibility. Of course we're all over the subject map during the conversation. For example:
We mentioned that Pam first appeared on the show in our Home Safety episode. Here's the link:

With a lot of help, we finish our trilogy on the sayings printed in Master Kelljchian's Beginning Karate Book back in the 1980's. We did my saying and Master Brown's saying earlier (they're tagged below). Today's episode is on Master Robert Lasorsa's saying. We made many references to other episodes and here are a few:
We talk about the 10 Virtues, which we brought up in our very first episode:

And we mention our Chi episode:
