Wildcatdojo Conversations
264 episodes - English - Latest episode: 2 days ago - ★★★★★ - 16 ratingsKarate 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.

Here is our first interview with him from 2021: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/8931796 But back to today's show - We aren't debating anything today - we're just learning new things. Many of you know how muc...

Consequences - We Make 'Em
March 27, 2023 07:00 - 22 minutes - 15.4 MBWelcome 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.

Simply S Words
March 13, 2023 07:00 - 20 minutes - 14.1 MBWith help of Sensei Lydia, we have fun talking about Shurikens (Throwing stars), Swords and Serenity. As we do every week, we laugh and share stories and are slightly tangential. But somehow we managed to get to the point! When we were talking about swords, I remembered that we did 3 episodes on swords in 2020. Here is the link to our first episode: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/4763822 And here is a link to one of my favorites. It is about the famous lost Masamune sword: https://www.bu...
Breathing - Truly a Life Changer
March 06, 2023 08:00 - 24 minutes - 17.1 MBWelcome to an episode we've been looking forward to. We're joined by Sensei (and Dr.) Melissa to talk about a special class our friend Sensei Cindy held a decade ago on breathing. If you, while listening, don't catch the deep breathing bug -and laugh more than you thought you would - I'll be surprised. We do mention an episode that ran a year ago on the karate saying Consistency Beats Intensity. Here's the link: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/10255747 And of course, please support our spo...

A Class of Young Students Talk About Hard Work
February 20, 2023 08:00 - 21 minutes - 14.6 MBWhat a great time we had - and the "we" was Sensei Randy, Sensei Tim, Sensei Jackie, and, of course, me - talking with some young people from one of our advanced classes. We talk about the karate saying "Hard work, long hours and constant repetition." This was recorded at a dojo. Although we sound proofed as much as possible, the sound is a little 'tinny' compared to our usual episodes. It is totally worth the lesser sound for both the adventure and the finished product. Let us know how you ...
Weird Weapons From History
February 13, 2023 08:00 - 24 minutes - 17.1 MBWe attack (get it?) 13 weird weapons from history. Go to our twitter or insta pages to see pictures of the weapons. In this case - a picture really IS worth 1000 words. Sensei Derek joined in the fun and we cover everything from a Urumi to the Tzar Tank and so much more. At one point we're talking about chariots, which we talked about in our gladiator episodes. Here's a link to one of them: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/10633850 And we also mention the Atlatl.

Here is the link: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/2985007 In case we have a any new listeners, I thought I'd tag in our 5 minute episode on the word "Oos" (More commonly spelled "Osu").

Spies - We Talk About Some Famous and Not so Famous Ones
January 23, 2023 08:00 - 20 minutes - 14.4 MBToday we're joined by Sensei Derek to discuss spies. We started espionage last week. And this week, we cover some famous spies from history. We were all amazed at the different characters that make up the spy game. After you listen, share your spy story with us . We'd love to hear it. Just to do something different, I went all the way back to year 2 and retrieved one of Sensei Dereks first appearances. This episode is on Aikido. https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/8241544 And, of course, he...
Espionage Was Always Part of Life
January 16, 2023 08:00 - 24 minutes - 16.8 MBWe're joined by Sensei Lydia and Sensei Derek as we take a look through the history of Spy v Spy. There are surprises around every corner.

In case you missed our entire episode on poisons - here's the link: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/10340583 And we mention the episode we did on the karate saying - If our Karate is perfect, we never have to use it. So here's the link to that recent episode: https:...
Continuing Letter Episodes with the Letter C
January 09, 2023 08:00 - 20 minutes - 14.1 MBSensei Jay joins in today as we discuss words like courtesy and can't. If you've listened to letter episodes before then you know that they are based on an exercise I sometimes do with students, always unpredictable, and usually funny. Today does not disappoint. For example, Landyn and I start singing a song we recorded 8 years ago to remind us that consequences exist. It's worth clicking the link to see Landyn at age 7! Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymQsjiZddwg And we manage...
Hercules - Man, Demigod, or Just Another Crazy Warrior
January 02, 2023 08:00 - 24 minutes - 16.9 MBWe're Starting 2023 with Hercules. How much fun is this? Ryan joins us, of course. He is, after all, our mythology expert. Hercules was (is?) a hoot! We are all over the conversation map on this one. We bring up Thor and although he ran recently, I've tagged him below: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/11550495 In that episode we mention an app called Listenable. They have a great course on Odysseus. We have a self-defense course with them, as well. Here's a link to their site if you want to...
Bloopers: Some Laughter As We Close Out 2022
December 26, 2022 08:00 - 19 minutes - 13.4 MBThe end of 2022 is here. I can not believe how fast it went. We managed to get 2 full episodes of bloopers out of this year (The usual amount, now that I think of it.) Laugh along with us as we look back on episodes we recorded in the last 1/2 of the year - and scroll down to check out episodes you might have missed. We did a you tube video on Master Kelljchian's creativity. It is totally worth a few minutes of your time - also follow us on YouTube (we post occasionally). Here's the link: ...
Classical Chokes; The Book Crew Read It
December 19, 2022 08:00 - 22 minutes - 15.6 MBToday's book - Classical Chokes - was written by our instructor, Master Joseph Kelljchian. In editing I realized that we never stated on air that choking is dangerous. It is not a game and shouldn't be used unnecessarily. Master Kelljchian put a warning in the beginning of the book stating all this. Having said that - let's get to the fun: We spend time talking about everything from the types of chokes to the tone of the text. We had fun and hope you have fun listening. I think it is coinci...
We Interview a Non Karateka Who Loves Self-control as Much as We Do
December 12, 2022 08:00 - 23 minutes - 16.5 MBJoin in the conversation today with Landyn's friend Raymond. Honestly, I couldn't describe this conversation if I tried. It ranges from elections, to dojos and from debate to talky 6 year olds. I bet you will be entertained and I'm always interested in your feedback. BTW- the conversation was supposed to be about self-control and we managed to occasionally stay on point! We didn't reference any old episodes on this show. But we have a blooper episode around the corner. So, to get you in the...
If Our Karate is Perfect - An Old Saying Discussed
December 05, 2022 08:00 - 23 minutes - 15.9 MBIt is so difficult to pick which type of episode is our favorite. 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 t...
Catapults and Trebuchets - Things That Fling
November 28, 2022 08:00 - 23 minutes - 16 MBToday we're joined by Sensei Derek to laugh as we look at the history, science and modernization of catapults and trebuchets. (With a few distractions as we start.) Need I say, there are a lot of opinions along the way. If you want to understand why Landyn dislikes the word Constantinople, you'll need to listen to our next Blooper episode. It will air on 12.26. Catch it anytime after that. Sensei Derek has been on many times. I picked a few of my favorites, in case you didn't hear them when ...
We Take a Run at Words That Begin With R
November 21, 2022 08:00 - 22 minutes - 15.9 MBWe had fun, with our guest Pam, as we talk about everything from ridgehands to responsibility.

Here's the link: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/11142251 And somehow our element episodes came up. I'm linking in the water episode.

Finishing the Three Sayings: Thank you Master Lasorsa
November 14, 2022 08:00 - 20 minutes - 13.8 MBWith a lot of help, we finish our trilogy on the sayings printed in Master Kelljchian's Beginning Karate Book back in the 1980's. We did my saying and Master Brown's saying earlier (they're tagged below). Today's episode is on Master Robert Lasorsa's saying. We made many references to other episodes and here are a few: We talk about the 10 Virtues, which we brought up in our very first episode: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/1742635 And we mention our Chi episode: https://www.buzzsprout.c...

To celebrate we invited our friend and mythology correspondent on the show to talk about Thor - in both mythology and Marvel. What fun we had recording this. Btw - Ryan mentions a man on YouTube named Dr. Jackson Crawford. I checked it out and totally recommend you take a look. He's smart and entertaining. During the episode we mention the first mythology recording we did on the Monkey King (Sun Wukong). Here's the li...
Training While Aging; Could it be Any Other Way?
October 24, 2022 07:00 - 20 minutes - 13.8 MBI got a few requests to do an episode on continuing to train while continuing to age. Again I ask; Could it go any other way? I reached out to friends and got so much feedback that we've actually filled Two episodes. We hope you enjoy this first one that includes an interview with our friend in Tasmania - T.D. McKinnon . We mention our meditation episode in the podcast and I was correct - this episode is only 6 minutes! Here's a link: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/2567317 Of course w...

Maybe this will encourage you to get in touch to share your experience. Thanks for listening. We did an interview with some...
Is Karate for Everyone - We Weigh In
