Wildcatdojo Conversations
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.

We're having a great time with our guests each week thinking, talking and very importantly sharing a laugh or two along the way.

First things first: Hey Megan - this is an official shout out to get in touch with that Master Kelljchian story you mention in this episo
Well, at least the last 1/2 of 2023. We include our usual word and dialog mess ups. But equally as fun is the stories from guests that didn"t make it into the episode. There are references to almost every episode in the past few months - way too many episodes to include them all. But here are a few. Until I listened
Sensei Derek joins us as we add the cutlass, nagamaki and more to our list of weird weapons. We even get into a quick discussion about how many weapons episodes we"ve had. I looked over old episodes, but didn"t count. We mention the katana today. Back in August of 2020, we did 3 episodes on swords. Here"s the one spec
We are so lucky to have a friend like Sifu Jones in our little community. Today he adds some information to our Long fist boxing discussion from Oct.
