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.

The First of Our Kurosawa Series: The Hidden Fortress
Sensei Baier joins us today to discuss the classic film The Hidden Fortress. I'm sure you must have heard that this movie was the inspiration for the first Star Wars movie. There is a lot more to say. A couple of notes: Sensei Jackie mentions the theme from The Magnificent Seven. I did search and listen and it's worth the 5 minutes it takes - in case you're just hanging. We also mention a John Ford film called The Quiet Man - It starred John Wayne, not Jimmy Stewart. Oops!
I'm tagging in our episode on Samurai for 2 reasons. First This movie is set in feudal Japan so it's a nice fit. And second, I just uploaded this to YouTube where you can watch a slide show while you listen....check it out:
