Happy New Year Everyone! Thanks for tuning in. We're starting the year off nice and simply, Myself, Landyn and Sensei Jackie laugh way too much while we tackle words that start with the letter J that may (or may not) be relevant in the Martial Arts. It's fun and fast (should I say jolly and jaunty?). If, after listening, you'd like to check  out Master Joseph Kelljchian's books...

We're joined for the second time by Sensei Liam. This time we overfill our 20 minutes looking at opportunity as obligation and visa versa. It's wild!

In this, our 101st episode, we tackle a saying that I personally heard from my teacher, Master Kelljchian, a few times over the years. "If you tell me you're stupid, I'll tell you you're stupid." With the help of our friends Paul and Lisa, we try to figure out what he was saying and maybe make some sense out of it. Well, when I came up with the idea for this episode (durin...

So much to share here: Watch our You Tube short (Wildcat dojo) to get an idea of what we're doing today. Otherwise, just push play. We check in with a number of people we've had on the show and pose the question "Why do you train?" It's like we have our own little round table discussion going. After listening, tell us what you think and if you train - why? And most importa...

We're joined by Paul and Lisa (you met them in one of the element episodes). We talk about everything from Egyptian Wrestling to Hulk Hogan. Its fun and full of weird things you might not have known.

So, by now I hope you know how our letter episodes work; today we picked the letter "T". We're joined by a new guest, Victor and we have a great time with everything from Tekyuku to Tenacity.

In this year, 2021, I'm sending another group of young adults off to college, having achieved the rank of Shodan. All three of these young people- Alex, Lucas and Mara- started karate when they were in pre-school. (Hard to believe!). In this episode we take a look at what they remember about 12 years in karate and what they'll take with them from the experience. As usual, we laugh a litt...
