Deadly and Non-Deadly Force; A Quote From Master Hess Artwork

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.

Deadly and Non-Deadly Force; A Quote From Master Hess

January 12, 2026 • Episode 323

I want to start by mentioning that Master Hess has books for you to buy. An easy search brought them up in both Amazon and Thriftbooks under Joseph C. Hess. In Master Kelljchian's 365 Days of the Warrior book, he has a quote from Master Hess and today we discuss it.

Speaking of Master Hess, we did an entire episode on Master Hess. Here's the link:

Another thought that comes up in this episode and in both fights and arguments is Ego. Here's the first episode we did on ego, from 2020:
