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. 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.

We talk Renshi, Ryogan Tsuki and more
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:

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:

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. Here's the link:
