Wildcatdojo Conversations

This week we discuss a karate saying that has been around as long as I can remember. We touch on so many things, that we have to tag 3 different episodes.
This one is from Jan of 2020 and it's about time:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/2351981
And in February of the same year we discussed Wabi Sabi:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/2735464
(The irony of this episode is that I don't love the way I organized it. The guests were great, but my work on this one needs improvement. The good news is - it's such a great subject that I look forward to revisiting it and doing better this time!)
But back on track, We also discussed the biggest interrupter of all time - ego...So, just in case you missed that episode, here's the link:

As always, thanks for tuning in. This week we start another trilogy that spans back almost 40 years to when Master Brown, Master Lasorsa and I were young black belts. I'm excited with this trilogy and hope this first episode gets you excited too.  I'm going to tag in 2 old episodes that we mention. One is about the crazy power of our brains:

And Landyn reminds us of our strategy episodes. We did 2. Here's a link to the first one:

We hope you enjoy listening to our word episodes as much as we like doing them. Today, with Sensei Jay, we link into longevity, loyalty and love. We mention chi (ki) and the episode I found with the reference to chi is our episode on earth. So here's the link:

In honor of Memorial Day, we thought we'd run this archived episode from April of 2021. We interviewed Sensei Jay about his father who was stationed in the Pacific in WWII. Even if you heard it the first time, it's worth a second listen. (I was surprised how much I had forgotten!) Please contact us if you have stories to share. It would be great to hear from you. Meanwhile, two things in this episode are out of date.
1. We DID the episode with Sensei Liam about obligation and opportunity. Here's the link:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/9763317
2. We were not on Instagram back then, so check us out @wildcatdojo conversations for pics of our guests and more.

Per our mention in the gladiator episode (link below), we're taking a look at some of the gladiator weapons. All of them are interesting and some of them are disturbing! We are lucky in that we got Sensei Jay back for this one. Of course, let us know how you like the episode all over the web @wildcatdojo
Here's a link to the first Gladiator episode (In case you missed it)
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/10465420 
And I'm throwing in an old episode about Kobudo weaponry, just in case you're interested: 
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/5660665
That ran in Oct of 2020, scroll back because there are 2 more episodes on Kobudo weapons and as you scroll you'll come across episodes on the tanto, swords, the naginata and more. Even I was surprised how many weapons episodes we've made.

In case you're unaware, the book crew is made up of Sensei Jackie, Sensei Tracey, Sensei Jim and myself. We are reading  a book by Jon Stevens called Three Budo Masters and today we talk about Jiguro Kano - the founder of Judo. We talk everything from his early training to his work in promoting the arts. It's possible that we're more opinionated that Shihan Kano was...listen and let us know! As usual, we mention alot of subjects and here are some links:
First, here's a link to one of the many episodes we did on Master Urban's book The Karate Dojo:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/2234144
If you enjoy it, go back to Dec 16th, 2019 to listen to the another episode on the same subject!
We also discussed women in training and here's an episode we did in September of 2020 on that subject:

I can't help it, I love alliteration. Meanwhile, today we're joined by Sensei Jay in an episode that is jam packed with gladiator history, gore and even funny trivia. As always, let us know what you think and thanks for listening! Also, as I've been trying to do recently, here's a few links:
