Shai Hai Sensei has had the kind of Karate journey that would make an incredible movie. From growing up in survival mode and making life and death choices at an age when most were busy being care free children. To finding Martial Arts and following that path to a completely different country and culture to pursue his love of Karate, then travelling to Okinawa to seek permission to train with one of the most famous Karate Sensei in the world, a Sensei people refer to as an “Okinawan Superman.” Af...

We are joined by Andy Rodriguez Sensei for a chat that covers an incredibly broad range of experience. Which includes, American Kenpo, Jodo, Aikido and Shorinryu Karate and this barely scratches the surface. He took the bold step of creating a literal home Dojo in which he teaches selected students while embracing his own ongoing studies. He is rare in the Martial Arts world in that when asked a question he does not know the answer to he will quite happily reply “I don’t know, let’s find out tog...

Its not just about pushing record, doing a podcast in a landscape as political as the Martial Arts world, can be a bruising and at times difficult experience. But it has also created an incredibly supportive community of Friends and a varied garden of experience that I am more than grateful to be nourished by.

I may look at martial Arts as a lifestyle and a way of learning more about myself, and not competition orientated, which is great for me, but does that serve my students?

Cover art from an original photo by Mr.Chris Wilson I was lucky enough to meet with Yagi Isao Kancho Kancho of Motoburyu, a master of many arts and weapons techniques many that pre-date what many think of as Karate. I never trained with him, I never learnt any of his art but meeting him was an honour that I will treasure. My deepest respects to his Family and Students on his recent passing.

How do we shape the perfect Bunkai? What is a "perfect" Bunkai? If I'm the only one who can do it how perfect can it be? And finally when does the study of bunkai become a theoretical game of "well if you did this, I'd just do that."
