Wildcatdojo Conversations

Landyn is home from his summer of travel and we start back with a letter episode. (They are fun and spontaneous to record. Be a guest one day and see for yourself, please.) Listen to the words we picked and let us know what you might have picked. We've done a few of these episodes. Our first one ever was the letter B. Here's a link: 
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/8108455
And one more done the same year was the letter P:

And finally, we mention the episode we did on the words Ryu, Do, and Jutsu. So, here's a link:

Thanks, Jennifer, for the suggestion. Pam joins us today as we open the door (get it) on safety at home. After you listen, share your safety ideas with us. Most of this information is from books available on Amazon by both Master Kelljchian and myself (Michelle Darbro). Both are free e-reads on Kindle and available in soft cover as well.
We have had a few episodes on self-defense. Here are some links.
Our first one was back in 2019 with our friend Glenda:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/2089278
And we had an episode with Sensei Jay called "A Real Fight, a Real Mess" Click here to listen:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/3293584
And one of my favorites was when we looked at a history of women defending themselves in the early 1900's with a fun short interview.:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/5247724
And finally, on a personal note, I want to mention that I changed my most recent self-defense class to include the entire family and it was a great success. (I had plenty of help, of course, and brought people together and separated them when appropriate - but it was great! 
So, thanks for listening. Please share this episode and get in touch with us.

As it says in the title, we're joined by a friend - Master Michelle Ratthe to discuss her love of the weapons of her Irish heritage. There is so much going on in this episode, you'll have to listen to appreciate it. We love your feedback. The only episodes we spoke about were the ones we did on archery back in 2020 and they are tagged below. However we also did a YouTube live about archery and it is tagged here as well:

We're joined by Sensei James as we continue our discussion of the 3 sayings made by myself, Master Brown and Master Lasorsa. Today we tackle Master Brown's.

Because August has 5 Mondays, we have the pleasure of sharing some of our old favorites. Scroll down for links to episodes we mention during our insanely complicated and surprisingly fun discussion on how elements can even out daily life and more! Also, enjoy how young Landyn was when we recorded this - just 2 years ago! And, before I post the links, if you want to search The Book of SET or my self-defense book (both mentioned) check out Amazon. The authors will be Joseph Kelljchian or Michelle Darbro. Thanks for listening
Here's the link to the episode on the saying "What we do alot of we become very good at":

Our friend is The Reverend Dr. Rebekah Savage. Some of you will know her as Sensei Rebekah, others as a Major in the Armed Services and others will be meeting her for the first time. You won't be disappointed. What fun we have. So much to catch up on and so much to learn. Let us know what you think, of course!

The Book Crew is back with this final episode on our latest book - Three Budo Masters by John Stevens. Today we tackle Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of Aikido. You can imagine how full of information and opinions we are today. I hope you'll read the book (get in touch to get one of our used copies!) We mention that we did an entire episode on Aikido and here it is:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/8241544
We  also bring up the elements. I say we did 5 episode on the elements, but there were actually 6.  We'll run one of them as an archived episode in August. Meanwhile, here's the one on water:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/4657946
All the element episodes can be found in the summer of 2020, if you're wanting more.

We love the book episodes and hope you do too. Master Funakoshi was such an interesting read. Listen and see if you agree. The book touches on everything from how he lived to his Martial Arts philosophy. Somehow we got to a note about a philosophy that centers around The Empty Circle. I couldn't remember, in the moment, where that came from - it's from Soho Tukuan (I'm a fan so I can't believe I forgot!) I also say we did an episode on the empty circle - we didn't - but we did do one on Tukuan. Here's the link:

Just in case you missed the 1st episode about this book, here's the audio re Master Kano:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/10515380
We mention that we've already done a whole episode on Master Funakoshi and Shotokan Karate. Here's that episode from 2020:

ps: In case you're unaware, the book crew is made up of Sensei Jackie, Sensei Tracey, Sensei Jim and myself. And the book is by Jon Stevens.

We thought it'd be fun this 4th of July, to leave you with some laughter. On today's blooper reels you'll hear everything from our usual word mess-ups, to weed whackers, to (of course) old TV references (where Landyn is lost in conversation). Please laugh along with us and let us know your thoughts - thanks! Here are links for more enjoyment (or you're driving and trying to fill the miles!)
And here's a few more jokes in case you want to keep laughing (this one is only 3 minutes:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/3107017
Speaking of bloopers. I was going back through episodes to tag here and I found that although we say that the episode with Sensei Jerri is on the letter B, we were wrong! It was on  the letter E and aired last Feb. Our  first ever letter episode from was on the letter B, was recorded with Sensei Tracey and aired  back in March of 2021. Enjoy:

Try as I might, I couldn't keep this episode under 25 minutes. Oops! This subject, however, is so important to all of us, that it earned the extra few seconds! Sensei Tracey joined in today as we look back over the body of Martial Arts work that is part of the legacy of Master Kelljchian. We'd really like your feedback on this one. If you were there, what do you remember? Did we make some mistakes - get in touch!
Here are some other episodes and links you might be interested in:
Sensei Tracey joined us in March of 2021 to discuss one of our favorite weapons, the tanto:
