Wildcatdojo Conversations

Have you ever heard of the National War College? Let us know. Sensei Derek joins us today as we discuss some details about it. The subject came up when we were recording our book review on Sun Tzu's The Art of War. In case you missed that episode, here's the link:

At the end of the episode, during listener mail, I mention the Master Joe Hess episode. Here's the link if you missed that one:

And I thought it would be fun to attach one of Sensei Derek's earlier episodes. I picked the Aikido episode. Have you heard it? Here it is:

Our friend from Tasmania, T.D. McKinnon, returns to talk about his time working in personal security. Conversations with Shihan are always entertaining and enlightening. And this one is no exception. If you aren't familiar with Shihan McKinnon, listen to our first interview here:

Welcome to an archived episode from 2021. The fact that the the 5th week of Oct. falls on our 5 year anniversary - well, that is just a fun coincidence! Here is what I'm thinking you might do: listen to the review, find the movie and stream it, and send feedback with your thoughts. This movie covers many subjects we've tackled over our 4 years of recording. For example it talks about Kobudo Weaponry. We did a number of podcasts on this. All of them aired in 2020. here's one that includes the nunchaku:

Scroll back to 2020 to check out more on Kobudo Weaponry.
Meanwhile, the movie also showed Naginata training. Here's our episode one that subject:

Thanks, Jennifer, for the suggestion. Pam joins us today as we open the door (get it) on safety at home. After you listen, share your safety ideas with us. Most of this information is from books available on Amazon by both Master Kelljchian and myself (Michelle Darbro). Both are free e-reads on Kindle and available in soft cover as well.
We have had a few episodes on self-defense. Here are some links.
Our first one was back in 2019 with our friend Glenda:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/2089278
And we had an episode with Sensei Jay called "A Real Fight, a Real Mess" Click here to listen:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/3293584
And one of my favorites was when we looked at a history of women defending themselves in the early 1900's with a fun short interview.:

And finally, on a personal note, I want to mention that I changed my most recent self-defense class to include the entire family and it was a great success. (I had plenty of help, of course, and brought people together and separated them when appropriate - but it was great!
So, thanks for listening. Please share this episode and get in touch with us.

The end of 2022 is here. I can not believe how fast it went. We managed to get 2 full episodes of bloopers out of this year (The usual amount, now that I think of it.) Laugh along with us as we look back on episodes we recorded in the last 1/2 of the year - and scroll down to check out episodes you might have missed.
We did a you tube video on Master Kelljchian's creativity. It is totally worth a few minutes of your time - also follow us on YouTube (we post occasionally). Here's the link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXw5SU_rEl8
And we did a podcast on it, too and here's the link:

This year we gained a new correspondent - Ryan. He helps us navigate the insanity of Mythological warriors. He's been on 3 times so far. His first appearance was a fun episode on The Monkey King. Check it out:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/11213311
And my final link of an episode is the one on Catapults and Trebuchets. Boy that was fun:

As I end this , here's a shout out to Honor-Athletics for their support. Check them out here:
