Good Times Gabbing about the Letter G

Today we&apos;re joined by Sensei James - you know him from the Musashi episodes - to have some fun talking about wrestling in the 1950&apos;s. And spoiler alert we mention his tag team partner / actor in a James Bond movie Tosh Togo. You won&apos;t be disappointed. Thanks for listening

The Great Togo (Wrestling Part 2)

In this, our 101st episode, we tackle a saying that I personally heard from my teacher, Master Kelljchian, a few times over the years. "If you tell me you&apos;re stupid, I&apos;ll tell you you&apos;re stupid." With the help of our friends Paul and Lisa, we try to figure out what he was saying and maybe make some sense out of it. Well, when I came up with the idea for this episode (during another episode) I thought it&apos;d be pretty fun and funny - but it turned out to be ....alot...listen and let us know what you think. As always, thanks for listening. 

If You Tell Me You're Stupid

So much to share here: Watch our You Tube short (Wildcat dojo) to get an idea of what we&apos;re doing today. Otherwise, just push play. We check in with a number of people we&apos;ve had on the show and pose the question "Why do you train?" It&apos;s like we have our own little round table discussion going. After listening, tell us what you think and if you train - why? And most importantly: Thanks for listening to us through our first 100!

We're Celebrating 100 Episodes!

We&apos;re joined by Paul and Lisa (you met them in one of the element episodes). We talk about everything from Egyptian Wrestling to Hulk Hogan. Its fun and full of weird things you might not have known. We hope you enjoy this episode. If you do you can look forward to more in the future. Turns out there&apos;s plenty to learn about wrestling. Thanks for listening!

Wrestling Part 1 - Ancient and Modern, Pros and Amateurs - Lots to Wrestle With!

So, by now I hope you know how our letter episodes work; today we picked the letter "T". We&apos;re joined by a new guest, Victor and we have a great time with everything from Tekyuku to Tenacity. And I&apos;ll answer a question we asked in the episode (that isn&apos;t at all related to karate); Tenacious D is a duo (not a band as I stated) that did tour before the pandemic but has no dates set for right now (according to Stereoboard.com) Still, thanks for making tenacity cool #jackblack #kylegass! 

Time to Talk T Words!

Sensei Randy joins us as we finish the trilogy on the teachers of Master Peter Urban with a look at the enigma that is Richard Kim. We touch on the pros and cons, ups and downs, controversies and successes of his life. Wow -that&apos;s all I can say - well that and Thanks for listening!

Richard Kim: Spy, Teacher of Master Urban - All That and More

Even though this is an archived episode. I tweaked it alot so there are some surprises. And it&apos;s ridiculously fun for a look at two dead guys. Let us know how you like it and thanks for listening

Elvis and Ed Return to the Building - One More Time

Sensei Jackie and I sat down and re-watched a movie called Budo The Art of Killing. Hear all about it on today&apos;s show (with some silly commentary from me ranging from My Cousin Vinny to Yoda). Then let us know if you&apos;ve ever seen it and what you remember. Also tell us what you&apos;d like to hear on the show and if you&apos;d like to BE on a show! Thanks for listening. 

Budo-The Movie- Spoiler Alert-We love it

We&apos;re joined, for the first time, by an old friend and karateka, Sensei Rob, to get a glimpse of the life of Master Gogen Yamaguchi. Travel back to the mid 1900&apos;s with us and enjoy the ride. As always, thanks for listening!

Gogen Yamaguchi - Continuing Our Trilogy on Master Urban's Teachers

In this year, 2021, I&apos;m sending another group of young adults off to college, having achieved the rank of Shodan. All three of these young people- Alex, Lucas and Mara- started karate when they were in pre-school. (Hard to believe!). In this episode we take a look at what they remember about 12 years in karate and what they&apos;ll take with them from the experience. As usual, we laugh a little more than is appropriate. Have an idea for a show? Get in touch at Wildcatdojo. Thanks for listening.

Karate Training was Truly a Part of Their Life Adventure

This fun and lively episode with a new friend from the UK covers everything from the fact that Americans spell Gung Fu incorrectly to a Japanese Sword taken during WWII. Oh and then there&apos;s the fact that this Oct Sifu Jones will be inducted into the Black Belt Hall of Fame! Join us, won&apos;t you? 

An Interview with Sifu Rob Jones

We&apos;re joined by Sensei Randy (one of our regulars) for Way too many puns and silliness as we explore the life of one of Peter Urban&apos;s 3 teachers: Masutatsu Oyama. There&apos;s bulls and bricks and even some Muay Thai fighters! As always, thanks for listening. 

Mas Oyama: It Really was a Karate Crazy Life!

Joined by Sensei Randy, we laugh a little more than we should as we explore "H" words and relate them to karate, ourselves and the craziness of daily life.  Listen and laugh with us. Remember to join in the conversation by getting in touch with your thoughts, or to be on the show. 

Happy to Have an Episode on the Letter "H"

We&apos;re joined by Sensei Jim and Sensei Lydia to look at a little bit of the life and legacy of Grandmaster Peter Urban. It is an understatement to say his life was colorful. As always we hope you enjoy the show and give us some feedback. Tell us your stories. Thanks for tuning in.

Peter Urban: The George Washington of Karate

Join us each week for a 20 minute conversation, just like the ones we have in the dojo (karate training hall). We'll keep you thinking, talking and hopefully a laugh or two along the way - with subjects ranging from managing the distractions of daily life to how to defend yourself and so much more.
