Wildcatdojo ConversationsA Kata Saying and So Much MoreLandyn is back on the show - Yay! I found an old saying I'd written and it turned into a fun conversation with Landyn, myself, and Sensei Jackie. We cover a lot. For example, we touch on Japanese arts that aren't centered around fighting. We did a whole episode on that. Here's the link: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/10211761 And Swords:https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/4763822Good and Bad decisions:https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/14843102And elements:https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/14843102We did many episodes on elements.

We took this opportunity to catch up with his adventures. We hope you like hearing about them as much as Sensei Jackie and I did. While catching up with Landyn, we discussed obligations. And, of course, we did an episode on that. Here is the link:https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/9763317And we discussed self-control. That episode, back in 2019, was the first time Sensei Randy was on the show:https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/1815622We did get a little work done by finishing the episode with...2024-09-3023 minWildcatdojo ConversationsAn Interview: Sensei Jackie is on the Hot SeatFinishing 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/477379/14230334And mine was in Aug. of 2023:https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/13436455She also mentions Sensei Jay (the voice of our intro and exit). He's been on the show many times. One of...2024-03-2523 minWildcatdojo ConversationsFemale Warriors / Mythology - Amazon WarriorsRyan 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/477379/11213311Also, while editing, I thought about some of our first episodes on female warriors. Here's one fro...2024-03-0419 minWildcatdojo ConversationsWe Talk Jump,.Jutte and More - J Words on the Menu TodayLandyn, Sensei Jackie and I enter Dec with a letter episode. As the title says - we talk about words that begin with the letter "J". The conversations jumps all over the place. Quick correction from Hanshi Malanoski. I say the word "jutte" incorrectly. It should be said with 2 syllables (Jut-te). I hope I don't hurt anyone's eardrums and I appreciate your understanding. Also, thanks for listening Hanshi!!One place we revisit is the concept of wabi sabi. Listen here to enjoy that conversation from 2020:https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/2735464 And somehow the conversation takes us to...2023-12-0421 minWildcatdojo ConversationsWe Interview.....Me?Admit it - this is weird! Sensei Jackie and Landyn decided we should do this and I agreed. So....They really do interview me. It felt strange and yet we had a lot of fun. We couldn't possibly get through this episode without mentioning Master Kelljchian. In 2020 we did an episode where we shared stories about our teacher. Here's the link:https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/2384333We want to do another one. I'm collecting stories now. Want to share yours? Get in touch, please.And we also touched on the episode about Mas Oyama. Here's that link:2023-08-2824 minWildcatdojo ConversationsConsequences - We Make 'EmWelcome to an episode with myself, Sensei Jackie and Landyn. As the title suggests it's about consequences and it ends with us singing a song I invented years ago for kids. We posted it on YouTube...you'll hear.....in case you want to check it out - here's a link:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymQsjiZddwg And if that's not enough - we sing it to the tune of a song from the 60's called Do Wah Diddy. Here's a link to Manfred Mann singing that song from 1964:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UingsUi0m...2023-03-2722 minWildcatdojo ConversationsA Story from the book The Karate Dojo - An Archived EpisodeSensei Jackie, Landyn and I welcome you to our first archived episode of 2023.

Check it out if you don't already own it!)Here is another episode where we reference his book: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/2196104Also, we spoke to a young man who spent 6 months in a Chinese Monastery.

We love them all. But today, with just the basic crew of Sensei Jackie, Landyn, myself and another old karate adage we manage to have fun and learn (two favorite things!). Please listen and send feedback. We love your opinions. I have a quick correction. Somewhere in all the talking I said that another karate saying was 'Repetition Beats Intensity' but the actual karate saying is "Consistency Beats Intensity." And we covered that topic back in March. Here is the link:https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/102557472022-12-0523 minWildcatdojo ConversationsAutumn Lightening: A Book Crew ReviewWhat fun the Book Crew had reviewing the book Autumn Lightening by Dave Lowry.

Landyn, Sensei Jackie and I learn a lot of cool things and we hope you will too! We don't really mention any other episodes this week. So I thought I'd link a couple of our first interviews. Maybe this will encourage you to get in touch to share your experience.

Landyn, Sensei Jackie and I take a look at a female gun toting Onna Bugeisha from the 1800's. But more important; we spend the second 1/2 of the show sharing a note I received from Hanshi Malanoski regarding our last book episode. Just the amount of subjects we covered will tell you how jam packed this episode is. We touched on: An episode we did about 2 other female warriors:https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/3227506Our episode about the Olympics:https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/8016537A...2022-09-1219 minWildcatdojo ConversationsNon Combative Japanese Arts; Are They Martial?Landyn, Sensei Jackie and I look at the idea that the tea ceremony, flower arranging and even calligraphy may (or may not!) be Martial in their art forms. Listen and give us your opinion. Do I need to say that, although we share a number of facts - we laugh alot along the way.

Sensei Jackie, Landyn and I talk about the constant appearance of the number 3 in Karate. Coincidence or Spooky set up for some sort of strength - You decide! Meanwhile, scroll down for links, of course. And, one more thing (and I can’t believe I left this out!) There is a great saying in karate that carries over to everyday life that has 3 parts: Karate training (or life) consists of hard work, long hours and constant repetition! Enjoy the episode and thank you for listening. Here's a link to o...2022-02-2820 minWildcatdojo ConversationsJumpin in to 2022 with the Letter JHappy New Year Everyone! Thanks for tuning in.
