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.

Uke - The Good, The Bad and The Crazy
First off - an Uke is a Japanese word meaning partner in Karate training. Have I got your interest? This episode has stories from Hanshi Malanoski and some feedback from followers of Hanshi Ray Batlle's Facebook page. I thank them both.
We also tell a few stories of our own and maybe clear up some confusion for people who have just started training.
After you listen, get in touch and tell us your stories of good and bad partnering experiences.
As far as tagging episodes into these notes - nothing really fits. But I decided that consistency is a characteristic of a good uke. So, here's our episode on that:

And another tangent you might find interesting is our episode on the saying "Karate is for Everyone, but Everyone is not for Karate. Here's the link:
