Wildcatdojo Conversations

Sensei Lydia and Sensei Randy joined us to have a fantastic afternoon of movie watching and the riotous discussion that followed. We hope you enjoy it. A big thank you to Sifu Michael Ng for the recommendation. 

We've done lots of movies, but I feel good about tagging this one because we do mention it in the episode. Jic you missed it:

And while I'm tagging. How about I tag the first movie we reviewed. It's called Budo. Listen here:

A few episodes back we actually aired our 312th episode (6 years). Wow! Thanks for coming along for the ride. Sensei Jackie and Sensei Landyn (remember - he was 12 when we started!) were talking about it and decided to push record while we talked. This is the result. We talked about so many things, our great guests (thanks guys), new friends (we're so lucky), and keeping in touch with old friends (again - it brings a smile to my face). Then the discussion turned to episodes. I couldn't fit all the episodes we mentioned. Here's 6 or 8. (Let's see if I run out of room!)  I think I'll put them in chronological order. Let's start with an episode taken from a page out of Grandmaster Urban's book:

https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/2196104

We've done a few episodes on self-defense and real fights. Here's the one with Sensei Jay:

https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/3293584

Moving forward a couple of months and we tackle Musashi

https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/3949283

At one point Sensei Landyn mentions the special place the interviews with his parents are. We agree. Here's his dad:

https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/3646768

And his mom:

https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/6639256

Then there's the conversations about warriors. There are too many to link. Here's the first one we did. Sensei Rudy talks about his dad:

https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/7498846

And I'll take it home with Sensei Jackie's favorite interview. Here's Thelma:

Today Sensei Jackie and I are lucky to meet Sifu Rod Dalby from England. We mention that our introduction to Rod was through our friendship with Sifu Rob. Here's our first (of many) conversations with Sifu Rob Jones:

https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/8931796

And somehow we manage to talk about the old tv show Kung Fu Of course, we did an episode on it. Here's that one:

We had a blast recording and hope you enjoy hearing about Sifu Rods Kung fu journey.

With Sensei Landyn we tackle more words, ideas, and a weapon! The weapon discussion takes us to Master Kelljchian and his creativity. We have talked about this twice before. Once on YouTube. Here's the episode:

First off, I should mention that this episode - #312 - marks our 6th year anniversary. Congrats to us! Soon we'll spend a few minutes looking back and laughing. But back to today.

We are SO lucky to have Rich, from Senbukai Goju, on again today. If you check out our Socials you'll see the art that his Sensei in Japan gifted to him that relates to this subject. 

This episode did lead to many other subjects we've tackled. Like everything, this skill is related to breathing. We did two episodes on that (as well as mentioning it almost every episode). Here's one from 2020:

https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/12326414

In this episode we referred to a saying about practice from Grandmaster Peter Urban. Here's an episode on the saying:

https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/10778035

Within the conversation, Rich mentions mindfulness. Here's one of the episodes we did on that:

A big thanks to Rich for his time and his stories. This episode is packed with way too much information and entertainment to try to explain in these notes. However, we were so busy talking and laughing that we forgot to say the name of the recently published  book by his Sensei. Here's a link to the Amazon page:

The idea of camo came up during our WW1 research. I didn't think it was going to be as huge, weird and interesting as it became. I hope you have the same result as a listener. Please let us know. And as we say every week, slide down just a little farther and click the link to show us some financial love. Thanks!  

Here's the last episode we ran on WW1 - just a few months ago:

First and very importantly - Thank you Master Kelljchian for leaving such a wealth of information and memories. Everyday we miss you. 

As the title states, the impetus for this episode was one of Master Kelljchian's meditations on the Box and the Ball. The conversation led us to So many episodes we have done. There are too many  for us to tag them all. Here are a few.

Let's start with our first book review. It happens to be about the book mentioned in this episode! Here's the link:

https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/7049776

Moving on to an episode we recorded with our friend Sensei Mark on Adventure

https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/7773364

I'm glad to have an opportunity to add a letter episode. This one fits right into our subject today:

https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/10712748

I had many great choices to take this home. I decided to end with balance. Whenever I tag this one, I have to thank Master Brown. He was the impetus for the original episode. Thanks Sensei:

For this episode, you really need to check us out on Twitter or Insta. We've posted a few pictures of this one of a kind weapon. Couple that with how much fun it is to talk with Sifu and we consider ourselves lucky to share today. If you're a fan of weapons and / or a fan of Sifu Jones you'll enjoy this episode from last year:

https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/15219883

One more thing, in case you don't remember. We were talking about our favorite strikes and I mentioned an o so men. That means hitting them smack dab on the top of the skull. Yuk and Yay at exactly the same time.

What fun it is to run into someone you haven't seen in decades. That serendipity led us to this interview where we catch up on old times, look forward, and talk about Martial Arts. It turned out that a kobudo weapon was one of his favorite weapons. We did 3 episodes on Kobudo weapons. Here's the episode where we introduce them:
