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.

Hanshi Ray Batlle - An Interview with the Founder of The Peaceful Warrior Black Belt Club
Regular listeners know how much we enjoy interviewing new friends. Hanshi Batlle felt like an old friend from the beginning of our conversation. Thank you Sir! I added the movie you mentioned, Five Fingers of Death, to our list of movies to watch and discuss. Thanks for the suggestion.
For our listeners that aren't familiar with which kata go with which system. No worries. The story still works. If you want more information about kata, we did an entire episode on it. You can listen to it here:

Hanshi also brings up the idea of balancing soft and hard. We did an episode on balance based on a saying that Master Nick Brown shared many years ago. Thank you Sir. Here's the link:
