  • Aging While Training Part 2 - So Much to Say

    This week we finish our series on Aging - that is unless you send us some feedback, or come on the show to talk more about it. We'd love to hear from you. Sensei Jay is on today's show and we have a fantastic interview with our friend Sifu Rob Jones in the UK.
    So much fun and discussion - listen and tell us what you think. We mentioned our first Aging episode that aired just 2 weeks ago:

    We also mentioned self-defense tips:

  • Warriors From Mythology: Thor

    Happy Halloween. This week marks our 156th episode; 3 years of podcasting! To celebrate we invited our friend and mythology correspondent on the show to talk about Thor - in both mythology and Marvel. What fun we had recording this. Btw - Ryan mentions a man on YouTube named Dr. Jackson Crawford. I checked it out and totally recommend you take a look. He's smart and entertaining. During the episode we mention the first mythology recording we did on the Monkey King (Sun Wukong). Here's the link:

    And the review we did of one of the many Monkey King movies:

  • Training While Aging; Could it be Any Other Way?

    I got a few requests to do an episode on continuing to train while continuing to age. Again I ask; Could it go any other way?  I reached out to friends and got so much feedback that we've actually filled Two episodes. We hope you enjoy this  first one that includes an interview with our friend in Tasmania - T.D. McKinnon .
    We mention our meditation episode in the podcast and I was correct - that episode is only 6 minutes!  Here's a  link:

  • Revisiting the Monkey King in the Movies

    Each summer we try to watch a movie and share it with you all. This year two things are true: we're late - summer is over. But  we finally sat down for an afternoon and watched the movie Monkey King Reborn. It's an animated film from 2021. We had fun and hope you have fun listening. Let us know what you think of the new take on this ancient mythical monkey.  
    We mention the Sun Wukong episode we did a month ago. I'm linking it here, even though I'm pretty sure you guys just listened:

  • An Interview with Our Friend from the Air Force

    Another great week here at Wildcatdojo Conversations, as we talk with my brother in law, Myron,  about everything from his time in the Air Force to how life has been in retirement. Landyn, Sensei Jackie and I learn a lot of cool things and we hope you will too!
    We don't really mention any other episodes this week. So I thought I'd link a couple of our first interviews. Maybe this will encourage you to get in touch to share your experience. Thanks for listening.
    We did an interview with some students a few years after they went off to college and they discussed life after karate:
     https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/2454269
    Did you hear our interview with Sensei Sam after spending 6 months in China at a monestary. Even if the answer if yes, it's worth hearing again:

  • Is Karate for Everyone - We Weigh In

    Finally we got Sensei Randy back on the show to discuss an old karate saying - Karate is for everyone, but everyone is not for karate. Listen and tell us your opinions! Of course we digress throughout the show so here are some of the links to our lack of focus. 
    Did you know we have T shirts:

  • A Word About a Bad Ass Warrior & A Word From a Bad Ass Warrior

    You can see in the title - this will be a fun day. Landyn, Sensei Jackie and I take a look at a female gun toting Onna Bugeisha from the 1800's. But more important; we spend the second 1/2 of the show sharing a note I received from Hanshi Malanoski regarding our last book episode. Just the amount of subjects we covered will tell you how jam packed this episode is. We touched on:
     An episode we did about 2 other female warriors:
    https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/3227506
    Our episode about the Olympics:
    https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/8016537
    And of course we can't forget Yin/Yang:

    And Non Combative Japanese Arts:

    Did you know that Hanshi Malanoski did a 2 part interview with us back in 2021:

Scroll down to listen to more. Finally, get in touch with ideas, thoughts, and comments about this, or any episode. Thanks for listening:
