Wildcatdojo Conversations Sensei Michelle

What fun we had learning about Queens that fought in Britain with our guest Shihan T.D. McKinnon. Shihan has been on many times. Just last November we discussed Kata with him. The episode I want to tag here is the one where he talks about life as a bodyguard. Listen - if time allows:https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/12796037This is not our first time talking about the history of women who fought. We did one back in 2020 about 2 Ferocious Women. Check it out here: https://www.buzzsprout....

Sensei Jay joins the conversation today as we tackle Focus, Fighting Spirit and Fuki Bari (Looking it up? Type in Fuki Bara). What fun! Join us by listening and letting us know your thoughts. We can't talk about focus without bringing up Kimi. We did a whole episode on that. Here's the link: https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/8501411And while we were there we talked about makiwara training. So, of course I had to tag that episode here:https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/8708384 T...

We're joined by Sensei Jay on our first in a series of episodes about people who have seen war and lived to tell about it. Today it is Audie Murphy.

It is much funnier than it sounds .We touch on aging. So for those of you that missed the aging episodes, here's a link:https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/11508081And you have to touch on meditation to tap into self-control and center yourself. We've done a few episodes on this subject. Here are a couple. In 2020 we did a 5 minute sh...

Finally we talk Female Ninja. We're joined by Sensei Lydia, so the conversation is fun and often off topic. Here's a few things we managed to talk about other than these awesome women. Back in 2020 we tackled the subject of Ninja. Here's a link, in case you missed it:https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/4401074The conversation also turned to one of our many favorite weapons - fans! Here is the episode we did on that:https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/13396539And finally, we mentioned I have no id...

We're joined by our old friend Darlene today, to discuss a quote about experience as a teacher....It relates to us at all ages and stages of life. For example we talk about the fact that a decade ago I created 3 songs for my Pre K students. One was called "Think Before you do it." Sensei Jackie brought it up so I'm tagging it here:https://youtu.be/34tyQbcSfeI?si=n2F2DXxU53EWAsuTDid that make you laugh like crazy?If you like this subject, you can check out our episode on consequences:htt...
