Wildcatdojo Conversations

Listen for free

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.

  • Talking Adamant, Ai and Actionless Action - Letter A Abounds
    Jun 29 2026

    The first thing we say as the episode opens is that we love Letter Episodes; exploring ideas and not really sure where the conversation is going to go. The 3 of us talk, laugh and learn.

    The conversation travels all over the place. Let's start with a term used often in America in the dojo - oos (This spelling is a nod to Master Kelljchian. It's commonly spelled osu). Back in 2019, we did a 5 minute short on the word osu and you can listen to it here:

    During our discussions of "ai" we touched on Aikido and Adapt. Both words were introduced back in 2023 in another "A" episode. Here's that link:

    And finally. The number 3 was one of my favorite epiosdes, and a favorite number....so I'm tagging that episode in also. Enjoy:

  • Interview with Sensei Robert Lasorsa about his Dad - a WW2 Vet
    Jun 22 2026

    For the past year or so, we've been trying to create this opportunity to interview Sensei Lasorsa about his father, Frank. There is so much love, laughter and history in this episode. Two of the long stories Sensei told us had to be cut for time. We'll share those in December in our next episode of outtakes. Definitely check out our Insta to see the pic of Frank in WW2. Thanks Sensei, for sharing your dad's story.

    As always if you keep reading you can see ways to support our work. Sometimes it's nice just to tell someone about the show and I thank you in advance.

  • Fathers as Warriors
    Jun 15 2026

    In the 7 years of doing this podcast, I've never been "on time" to connect our episode to the holiday that is happening. (For those of you who might be interested - I'd need a bigger staff to pull that off.)

    However, this year, this episode is about Fathers and is airing the Monday before Father's Day! Congratulations to all - us and all dad's who go the distance.

    I need to mention that Sensei Jay, who has a story here, has 3 sons. All of them know their dad to be amazing. But time only allowed for me to reach out to one of them. Don't be mad guys.

    So enjoy this episode and get in touch to be part of our salute to Mother's as warriors. Looking forward to hearing from you.
