Wildcatdojo Conversations

Sensei Jay joins the conversation today as we tackle Focus, Fighting Spirit and Fuki Bari (Looking it up? Type in Fuki Bara). What fun! Join us by listening and letting us know your thoughts. We can't talk about focus without bringing up Kimi. We did a whole episode on that. Here's the link: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/8501411 And while we were there we talked about makiwara training. So, of course I had to tag that episode here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/8708384 That ought to keep you busy.

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.

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. We've done a few episodes on this subject. Here are a couple. In 2020 we did a 5 minute short on how to meditate. 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. Here is one we recorded with Sensei Melissa: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/12326414 If you haven't checked out the content on YouTube yet (I've been uploading old episodes).

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! Here is the episode we did on that: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/13396539 And finally, we mentioned I have no idea how??) the episode we did on the movie 3 Ninjas. We did that with our movie friend, Sensei Ben.

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?

A year ago, we did an episode on the National War College (there's a link below, of course). Finally, we're following up with another episode. This time on the Naval War College. It's true we learn about the history, founders, and famous graduates. But seriously - how did we laugh this much! After you listen you can send us some advice on how to be more serious! Or you can click these links and listen to more shows. Here is the link to the National War College: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/127501 I love that this episode got us to discuss Military Clergy. That gives me the opportunity to tag the interview we did with our friend Sensei Rebekah, also from the military and also in the clergy. She is amazing: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/10974172 On top of all that, strategy came up in this episode. (As it often does.) So....another opportunity to link one of our episodes on strategy.

Finishing our trilogy on interviewing your 3 hosts - we finally talked Sensei Jackie into hers. This one includes stories from 'back in the day' and fun thoughts right now. She tries to turn the tables on us a few times by mentioning our interviews. So here are links - in case you missed them. Here's Landyn from back in January: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/14230334 And mine was in Aug. of 2023: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/13436455 She also mentions Sensei Jay (the voice of our intro and exit). He's been on the show many times. One of my favorites is when he talked about his dad's military life.

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). We share information from 2 fine martial artists. This week we read a note sent to me by Master Robert Lasorsa. Coincidentally, we did an episode on a saying he is famous for. Here's a link to that episode: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/11610212 There is so much going on in this episode. One thing is that we refer to how often our episodes are dedicated to character development. So much so, that our first episode was on it! We reran that episode in January of 2022 - jic you missed it: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/9867755 Since this is all about Grandmaster Peter Urban's writing, I thought it would be fun to offer you the chance to hear more: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/2196104 Thank you for making it this far down the show notes!

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.

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. Here's one from 2020 with just myself, Sensei Jackie and Landyn: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/3227506 If you enjoy listening, and have the time - click the link and help support the show.

The name says it all! Sensei Randy joins in to help us carry the episode along. We hear how Steven and Sensei Jerri got into karate. And we hear from Hanshi Malanoski, Shihan Mckinnon and Sensei Rob C. with great letters. All these people have been on before. Let's start with Steven. He was a guest when we talked about Gichin Funakoshi: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/4133990 And Sensei Jerri was on when we discussed fans as a weapon: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/13396539 We met Shihan McKinnon through an interview: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/8625686 We've known Hanshi Malanoski for many years, but it was a real coup when we finally got to interview him. (It was actually 2 interviews!) This is the first one: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/9551496 If all that hasn't kept you busy, you can listen to the episode we recorded with Sensei Rob Carbone.

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.

Today we offer you a can't miss episode. We interview a fabulous, lovely, deadly 90 year old woman. I really don't need to say a lot more - Thelma and her family will fill in all the details. Enjoy a fun ride! There wasn't any mention of other episodes. So, there's nothing to tag. But you can look up old interviews or any other of the 220 episodes we've covered.

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.

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.

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.

My first note here is personal to Hanshi Malanoski. Even as I was trying to fix my original mistake on the word Jutte - I managed to say it with the emphasis on the wrong syllable. Don't worry, one day I'll get it right! Back to today. Steven and Geraldo join us today to talk about taking notes. Sounds boring but we had fun and we all hope you enjoy listening. (And of course send us your thoughts.) Steven was on once before and we discussed Gichin Funakoshi.

Finally, We sit down and talk with Landyn. We cover everything from when he started karate, to what he does these days and how bright his future is shining. At one point he tells a story - one we haven't heard - about Master Kelljchian. (See our web presence for a pic.) Here's the link to our original episode on Master Kelljchian: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/2384333 Another subject that came up is balance. Thanks to Master Nick Brown we did an episode on that.

Happy 2024. Megan is our guset today as we discuss - in the modern vernacular - mindfulness. But there is so much more to it. It's a wonderful archived episode to start the new year. First things first: Hey Megan - this is an official shout out to get in touch with that Master Kelljchian story you mention in this episode. Also folks, listen to Landyn's voce in 2020 to his voice now - Yikes! At the time of this recording Sensei Randy (our guest) wasn't a Sensei yet. The years keep going by. This episode was sparked by a conversation with Shelby (Landyn's mom). In that conversation, mindfulness came up. Here's a link to that episode: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/3383908 We mention the word Oos (also spelled Osu and many other ways). I'm attaching a link to the 5 minute short we did on that word jic you're new to the podcast and unfamiliar with the word: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/1979593 Hey, if the new year finds you with a couple of extra $s - please click the link and support the show.
