Wildcatdojo Conversations

Sensei Jim joins in to take a look at a book written by Forrest E. Morgan called Living the Martial Way. This book is SO packed with the details of karate that we're tackling it in three parts. SO, it's not too late for you to get the book and read along. In this episode, part 1, we talk about a dojo, the ideas behind training and of course our stories. Listen, then get the book and join in - in a couple of months when we talk about part 2! Thanks for listening.

Today we're having great fun looking at the world of Super Sentei and Power Rangers with our friend and fellow black belt - Ben Kerzer (check out his YouTube show - The Ben Kerzer Show. Who knew there was SO much information on the web about TV super heroes. And what the net didn't tell us, Sensei Ben does. Enjoy the show and thanks for listening.

Sensei Jay joins us to do a little history and lots of stories about both makiwara (objects you hit to strengthen your striking areas) and tameshiwara (breaking).  Don't miss the stories as told by everyone from Landyn to Master Robert Lasorsa. And, if you have a story about the subject, record it and send it to me. I hope to get enough stories to create a whole new episode! Meanwhile, enjoy this one.

If you're a listener, then you know one of my favorite types of episodes is those that are spontaneous. That's what happens when we pull the letter "A" out of our bag of letters. With the help of Sensei Jay we laugh alot and learn a little (or is it laugh a little and learn alot). Listen in and stay in touch. Thanks!

What a wonderful experience for me to meet (albeit virtually) Mr. McKinnon. We all enjoyed the entire experience and you will too. I'm adding a few notes so you won't be tempted to stop and search mid interview. Here ya go:  At minute 13 he mentions the Japanese word kihon which simply means basics.  He talks about a kata called Gojushiho and after you listen it's an easy find online and worth a peek! In one of his stories he mentions soto uke -which is simply an outside block. And finally he discusses iaido kata and those are sword forms. Happy listening!

Today we revisit an episode from 2019 with some additions from Landyn. Sensei Randy (he wasn't a Sensei then!), myself and Sensei Jackie talk about self-control. It's shockingly upbeat and fun. Hope you enjoy the archived episode.

I know, puns in the title is  not funny. But I did it anyway. Sensei Randy joins us as we look at the history of weight divisions and another great page from Peter Urban's book The Karate Dojo where he discusses qualities in fighters of different weights. How do we get so many laughs out of such an ordinary subject - you might ask.  Well, when you tune in you'll hear about a heavyweight that Landyn didn't even know was a boxer! Enjoy the show and thanks for listening.

Sensei Lydia joins us as we discuss a fundamental part of most Karate styles: Kime. We look at it from a few different standpoints and laugh a little too much. Thanks!

Spend 20 minutes laughing with us as we discuss everything from the census, to the inability to master English, to nutty things we've done. If you need a laugh, this is the place to be. And, bonus, all our guests make appearances too!

This week we look at another of our favorite weapons. The Naginata (go to our twitter feed to see pics!) The coolest part of the episode is the interview with Sensei Jana about her experience competing with the practice weapon under the guidance of Master Kelljchian. There's laughs and surprises - like always when we get together.
