A fascinating and wide-ranging discussion with Sensei John Hanratty, 8th Dan, founder of the Canadian Shotokan Karate Association and head instructor at the Shi-Ku-Kai dojo in Calgary, Alberta.

Sensei Hanratty discusses his experiences teaching karate around the world, the philosophy behind karate training, what it means to develop one's personal potential, and much more.

Avec presque 40 ans sur les tatami, j'ai rencontré de très nombreux sensei de karaté. Certains m'ont influencé plus que d'autres. Voici les sensei français qui m'inspirent aujourd'hui.

Intervista al Maestro Ciro Varone sulla Respirazione nelle arti marziali
Bentornate e bentornati sul BodyMind Training Podcast, oggi parliamo di respirazione nelle arti marziali con il Maestro Ciro Varone (fondatore dell'associazione di arti marziali "Ten No" di Brescia, settimo dan di Karate stile Shotokan, istruttore internazionale di Krav Maga, Istruttore di tiro dinamico operativo e difensivo, istruttore di tecniche corpo a corpo alla Scuola Ispettori della Polizia di Stato di Brescia, già vice campione del mondo di Karate, autore di numerosi saggi sul Karate, e coautore di un volume sulla difesa abitativa e molto altro). In questa sesta puntata della rubrica I Segreti della Respirazione ho voluto chiedere direttamente a un grande esperto il suo approccio e il suo pensiero su un tema che mi è particolarmente caro, visto che pratico arti marziali sin da piccolo e che insegno Krav Maga da ormai più di dieci anni. Quindi per una volta non sarò io a parlarvi di respirazione ma mi limiterò a fare le domande e il Maestro Varone ci svelerà tutti i segreti dell'uso di una corretta respirazione nelle arti marziali. Non posso nascondere l'orgoglio che provo nel proporvi le parole di un tecnico che stimo più di ogni altro in questo settore, spero che anche voi troverete interessanti quanto le ho trovate io le sue risposte. Fatemi sapere...

Dans ce podcast je partage avec vous l’audio d’une vidéo que j’ai partagé en juin dernier juste après avoir eu l’obtention du 6e dan de karaté shotokan. C’est bien mais ce n’est pas une fin en soit et surtout pas la ceinture rouge et blanche.

Réflexions sur les arts martiaux avec Lionel Froidure. Certains élèves qui ont du mal à apprendre un kata, taolu, quyens, etc. La mémoire peut être une allié ou pas. Tout dépendra de sa réactivation. Côté scientifique La mémoire est un ingrédient indispensable à notre apprentissage. Il est à noter que l’on oublie environ 80% des informations en 24 heures et dans ces 24h il y a le sommeil. Votre cerveau ne dort pas mais il fait le tri dans tout ce qu’il a emmagasiné dans la journée. De toutes les données stockées dans votre mémoire, il ne gardera que ce qu’il a "vécu" au moins 2 fois.

But that front kick that's done on a bag isn't truly owned by the student until they're in a free-thinking, sparring situation and they see the opening and they're like "Oh, now it's time for a front kick."

Renshi Lisa Magiera occupies an interesting place in the martial arts world, at least for listeners to this show. Over the episodes, we've spoken of various guests in a familial sense, as they tie to my place in the martial arts world. We've heard from older siblings, Uncles, and others. Renshi Lisa Magiera is best described as my sister.

Just a short time after I left Maine for College, Renshi moved to the area and starting training at the karate school I grew up in. She ultimately purchased it and continues to operate it today. She learned the same things by the same people, and we have many things in common because of that. Interestingly, we had very little overlap as my College visits to home rarely involved martial arts, as I was there for holidays and weekends. We've built a strong friendship over the last few years, though.

This episode is a lot of fun, for both of us, and hopefully, everyone else enjoys it, too.

Mr. Dale Frye, aka "Sunshine," is a world champion kickboxer turned actor and stuntman.

Mr. Dale Frye - Episode 126

I said, wait a minute. We just sat here and beat on each other for six rounds, and it was fun. And it's like, maybe we need to be looked at or something.

Mr Dale Frye has done a lot. From winning world-titles in kickboxing to an acting resume that's been impressive for decades. Whether it's kicks or stunts or acting, Mr. Frye, also known by his fighting name, Sunshine, has left his mark. We had a good chat and I think you'll enjoy it.  Let's welcome him to the show.

Today we're featuring our awesomely-comfortable sweatpants. They're perfect for anyone that has legs and gets cold. Available at whistlekick.com.

I first met Shihan Grant Campbell during the March 2016 Superfoot black belt gathering in Florida. It was during this same assembly that I met Kyoshi Kevin Hudson, and, of course, Sensei Terry Dow and Bill Wallace were there. I met a lot of people that weekend, and everyone was very skilled, and a great person to work with. There was one person, though, that stood out for me in the way he helped me through that weekend.

We've all worked with martial arts practitioners that seem to understand us, to know our journey, and to make us better. Shihan Campbell was that person for me, at least on that weekend. I enjoyed his help with the physical aspects of our training, but also really appreciated his humor and stories during meals and downtime. I knew that he was someone we needed to have on the show.

The scheduling took some time, as he's very busy with training, teaching, and travelling, but we made it happen. Listen in, you'll see that it was worth the wait.

Today's featured whistlekick product is our full line of shirts. Quite a few different styles to choose from, including large and youth sizes. With something for everyone, there's no reason not to have a few whistlekick shirts in your drawer or closet.

What are you doing? I know what you’re doing. You’re getting ready to listen to today’s episode of Martial Arts Radio. Well, here we are. Episode 123 is coming at you in just a moment, and it’s all about Jean-Claude Van Damme.

I'm whistlekick’s founder but I’m better known as your host, Jeremy Lesniak. whistlekick, if you don’t know, makes the absolute best sparring gear, apparel and accessories for practitioners and fans of traditional martial arts.  I'd like to welcome all of our new listeners and thank everyone that’s come back again.

All of our past podcast episodes, show notes and a lot more are at whistlekickmartialartsradio.com. From that site you can sign up for our newsletter, and I really think you should, because we offer exclusive content to subscribers, discounts and it's the only place to find out about upcoming guests.

When we take a look at our sales, we’re seeing a lot of our sparring helmets go out to people that do MMA, kickboxing and other sports that are really outside traditional martial arts. Why? Probably because there’s nothing more comfortable and protective than a whistlekick helmet. Just like the rest of our gear, it holds up amazingly well. Check them out at whistlekick.com.

Renshi Craig Sargent - Episode 122

Over the last year and a half, there have been guests that I've wanted to get to know better. I've known today's guest for a few years, and despite quite a few conversations, I felt like there was a lot more than I knew. It wasn't more than 15 minutes into today's episode before I realized my instincts were correct- Renshi Craig Sargent had a lot more to say than I'd heard during our brief talks.

Right from the beginning, he opens up, and he takes us on a ride like few have with this show. I can say I know Renshi Sargent much better, now, and I look forward to seeing him more at tournaments and other events.

Today's featured product is our brand new Pro Hoodie. Comfortable, lightweight polyester fleece with a colorful logo and a little something extra in the hood. Find them on whistlekick.com

On today's episode we answer four burning questions submitted by the audience.

Question & Answer #1 - Episode 121

Today’s episode will be a bit different- because we’re always trying to change things up and bring you some variety. If you follow us on social media, you know we ask a lot of questions – because we want to know what you think about things.

But through those questions comes conversation, and questions coming back to us. And today we’re going to answer some of the questions that you’ve written in. If you like this show and want to see more of this format, let us know and, ideally, send in a question yourself.

Here are the questions we tackle on today's episode:

Q: What do you think Bruce Lee’s career would have looked like if he was alive today?

Q: I’m 18 and love martial arts. I’ve been training since I was 9 but now I’m at college and don’t have very many options to continue my training. There’s a martial arts club on campus but it’s very different from what I’m used to. I’m missing my dojo back home but it’s too far to drive. What should I do?

Q: How long should I stop training if I become injured? I’ve recently messed up my shoulder and it’s getting better, but I really miss my training. Can I just go in and take it easy?

Q: If you had to spend the next year training alone with only one famous martial artist or actor, who would it be?

On today's episode, we mentioned our episode on Martial Arts training in a car, Episode 95.

Hanshi Bruce Juchnik is a living encyclopedia. When you talk about the most famous martial artists - Joe Lewis, Robert Trias, Chuck Norris, Bill Wallace, James Mitose - he's right there in the mix. In some of the stories, he's on the fringes, but can tell you about the major players and what really happened. In others, he takes center stage and helps connect the dots on some of the most important elements of our past.

And history is very important to Hanshi Juchnik. He knows where he came from and he believes you should, too. As important as punching and kicking is, that's how important knowing your lineage is to Hanshi Bruce Juchnik. It was a pleasure to have him on the show and connect many of the different stories we've already heard, as well as point us in the direction of some guests we'll be having on in the future.

Today's featured product is our best seller - our sparring boots. No toe strap, double reinforcement, extra ventilation, durable materials, comfortable design... if you're used to other foam sparring boots, you'll be shocked at how much better these are.

McDojos, and all that they mean to the martial arts community, are the topic of conversation today on our first-ever group chat.

Group Chat: McDojos - Episode 119

Today's episode is a bit different - it's our first group conversation. A few weeks ago, we were approached by Sensei Robert Ingram. Sensei Ingram is the man behind the McDojo Life brand. McDojo Life is a martial arts entertainment group that brings you humorous martial arts content. Most of their content is published through social media. McDojo Life has quite a large following, and for good reason - their stuff is funny!

We also brought back a past guest, whistlekick's good friend & host of the Martial Thoughts podcast, Sensei Jaredd Wilson. Jeremy joins the two of them to discuss McDojos, integrity in martial arts instruction and instructors and a lot more.

For those unfamiliar with the term, a McDojo is a derogatory term that refers to a martial arts school that doesn't live up to the standards others set. It's completely subjective, and we discuss that as part of the show. We had a great conversation and all three of us enjoyed the time together. If you like this format, please let us know and we'll look at doing more of them. Thanks for listening and have an amazing day! 

During the episode, we talked about Episode 69, our episode where we talk about martial arts instructors & integrity.

On today's episode, we reference the Redneck Jiu Jitsu YouTube Channel
