Wildcatdojo Conversations

Arts & Culture Podcasts

Karate is for everyone. So, join us each week for a 20 to 25 minute conversation on all types of subjects. We go from managing the distractions of daily life, through martial arts history and people, and common sense concepts to add to your self defense armor. Plus we have interviews and so much more. After spending over 40 years discussing life's challenges in a dojo, (both as a student and as a teacher) I decided it would be fun to share the conversations with everyone. And it is! We're having a great time with our guests each week thinking, talking and very importantly sharing a laugh or two along the way.

6/3/2024
Sensei Lydia joins in this week to talk about John Corcoran and Emil Farkas - the authors of The Overlook Martial Arts Dictionary and the book Martial Arts Traditions, History, People. We covered so much information in this episode. Somehow we got to Ninja - and of course - we did an episode on that. Here's a link: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/4401074 And we also mention the episode we did on Fumio Demura. Listen here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/5982394 Btw - I did compare the publishing company of my copy of the Traditions book to Sensei Jackie's - she was right - they are different publishing companies and were printed 10 years apart!

Here's a link - in case you missed that episode. https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/14235323 Today the conversation ranges from how many famous people have said the phrase to long term planning to doing kata in the dojo.

Listen - if time allows: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/12796037 This is not our first time talking about the history of women who fought. We did one back in 2020 about 2 Ferocious Women.

Audie Murphy: The Most Decorated Soldier of WW II

5/6/2024
We're joined by Sensei Jay on our first in a series of episodes about people who have seen war and lived to tell about it. Today it is Audie Murphy. One of the things I wanted to look up and add to the recording was the definition of a military campaign. Since I missed that moment, I'm adding it here. There could be one or two of you who are like me and have heard the term but never thought about it's meaning, here is what I found: A military campaign is a large scale, long duration military plan that is usually part of a larger war. So, now we know. On to our guest; Sensei Jay is the beginning and end voice on the podcast (Thank you Sensei). He's been on many times. I am tagging one of his first episodes below. In it we take a look at a specific katana called the Masamune Katana that has been lost for over 75 years. Here's the episode: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/5050196 Check out the links below for different ways to help support the show. Thank You! Support the Show.

Goals, Journeys and being Human

4/29/2024
Today Sensei Jackie and I discuss how to get out of our own way - mostly mentally - in a world full of distractions and with a brain that likes to push us around. It is much funnier than it sounds .We touch on aging. So for those of you that missed the aging episodes, here's a link: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/11508081 And you have to touch on meditation to tap into self-control and center yourself.

Here's the link: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/2567317 And we've done a few episodes about the power of the big, deep breath.

4/22/2024
Finally we talk Female Ninja. We're joined by Sensei Lydia, so the conversation is fun and often off topic. Here's a few things we managed to talk about other than these awesome women. Back in 2020 we tackled the subject of Ninja. Here's a link, in case you missed it: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/4401074 The conversation also turned to one of our many favorite weapons - fans!

Experience - The Good, the Bad and The Funny

4/15/2024
We're joined by our old friend Darlene today, to discuss a quote about experience as a teacher....It relates to us at all ages and stages of life. For example we talk about the fact that a decade ago I created 3 songs for my Pre K students. One was called "Think Before you do it." Sensei Jackie brought it up so I'm tagging it here: https://youtu.be/34tyQbcSfeI?si=n2F2DXxU53EWAsuT Did that make you laugh like crazy?

Glad you could be here as we finish our discussion of some words from Grandmaster Urban's book The Karate Dojo. We started last week. (If you missed that episode I tagged the link below).

Here's a link to that episode: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/11610212 There is so much going on in this episode.

More Excellent Adventures with the book - The Karate Dojo

3/11/2024
Welcome to our 4th (or 5th?) journey into the content of Grandmaster Peter Urban's book The Karate Dojo. Obviously, we love this book. Today, with Sensei Rob Carbone, we're discussing some lines on (or about) page 77. We hope that you enjoy listening as much as we enjoy recording. (Btw- this ended up being 2 episodes - we'll finish the conversation next week!) The subject of kata came up - how could it not? And Sensei Jackie remembered that a few years ago Sensei Carbone gave us a video of a kata he built. Haven't seen it? Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VETT9qnJoYo We first tackled this book with 2 episodes on Grandmaster Urbans Guidelines For Self-Analysis. Here's a link to the first one: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/2196104 It's difficult to talk about karate without bringing up the elements. That is another subject we've done several episodes on....Here's the one on Fire/Speed: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/4966106 Thanks for checking us out.

Female Warriors / Mythology - Amazon Warriors

Ryan joins in , as he always does, while we laugh and learn about the Amazon Warriors including of course, Wonder Woman. We covered a lot of ground here. Let me start by saying I did look up images of Batman and Wonder Woman (per Ryan's suggestion) and wasn't shocked or insulted... Meanwhile, this episode got me to thinking about the first time Ryan brought us a Myth. We learned about Sun Wu Kong. I've included it here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/11213311 Also, while editing, I thought about some of our first episodes on female warriors.

The First of Our Kurosawa Series: The Hidden Fortress

2/19/2024
Sensei Baier joins us today to discuss the classic film The Hidden Fortress. I'm sure you must have heard that this movie was the inspiration for the first Star Wars movie. There is a lot more to say. A couple of notes: Sensei Jackie mentions the theme from The Magnificent Seven. I did search and listen and it's worth the 5 minutes it takes - in case you're just hanging. We also mention a John Ford film called The Quiet Man - It starred John Wayne, not Jimmy Stewart. Oops! I'm tagging in our episode on Samurai for 2 reasons. First This movie is set in feudal Japan so it's a nice fit. And second, I just uploaded this to YouTube where you can watch a slide show while you listen....check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alL0rdYItJ8&list=PL8yjid6UVm3vLNWctaWCsYOGbRoz50hDj And of course, we'd certainly appreciate if you have a moment to click the below link and support the show.

The Book of S.E.T. by Master J. Kelljchian - A Book Review

2/5/2024
The Book Crew is back with another book by our instructor Master Kelljchian. There was so much to say about this book that I had to cut 5 minutes and move it to the Stories and Bloopers reel! But we cover plenty - Including the fact that Master Kelljchian talked a lot about the elements. Therefore it's no surprise that, on this podcast, we've done six episodes on them. If you search, you can find them all between June and September of 2020. I'll tag the first and the last one below. Here's the first one! https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/4212377 And here's the last one: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/5364853 A quick reminder that you'll see a "support the show" link below.

We talk Renshi, Ryogan Tsuki and more

1/29/2024
Sensei Jerri joins us today as we try our hand at another episode of words from The Overlook Martial Arts Dictionary. This week it's the letter R. While discussing different ranks, Grandmaster Urban's book The Karate Dojo came up. We did a few episodes on this great book. Here's a link to one of them: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/2196104 We also discuss Jiguro Kano, the founder of both Judo and the inventor of the modern day ranking system. Here's one of the episodes about him: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/10515380 And finally, we discuss eye pokes. (How did we get there?) We mentioned eye pokes in a recent episode with Shihan T.D. McKinnon. The day we were recording, I thought it happened in a wrestling episode. Oops, it actually came up in his body-guarding episode. Here's the link: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/12796037 Thanks for considering supporting our work with a small donation. Here's the link: Support the Show.

History: Higaonna, Miyagi, Goju Ryu - There's a Story Here

1/22/2024
Today the show is jam-packed. We visit the lives of both Kanryo Higaonna and Chojun Miyagi, the naming of Goju Ryu Karate... And - dot matrix printers, the 1990s, and more. It's jammed with information and the usual fun. At one point we mention that our friend Max (a black belt in USA Goju Federation) has been on a couple of times talking about his journey with Buddhism. Here is his first appearance back in 2020 https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/4029077 And he was on again last year, teaching us a little about the 8 Fold Path: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/9823335 As always I'll mention that I love feedback, so send some our way.
