Welcome

Welcome to the Applied Karate Show on The Podcast Network.

The Applied Karate Show will be a regular show all about classical karate. As the name suggests, the focus will be on the applied aspects of karate - the techniques, technologies, history, philosophies and applications. Whilst respect the sporting aspect is important to many karateka, we want to focus our attention here on these other aspects that don’t always get the limelight.

For those that are new to podcasting, it is an exciting application of technology that brings great audio content about a wealth of topics to you over the internet - in the form of an mp3 file. You can play it at a time and place that suits you, on your iPod or other mp3 player, or on your PC or Mac. You can even burn it to a CD and listen to it on your stereo…

For more information on podcasting, read TPN’s FAQ.

The host of the Applied Karate is me, Des Paroz. I’ve been studying Shorinjiryu karate since 1983. I currently hold the grade of yondan (4th Dan), and run a small dojo in Sydney, Australia.

I hope you enjoy our shows, and invite feedback to des@kengokai.com. Or leave a comment on this site.

    I enjoyed the presentation, from what I heard of it…the audio quality of Mr. McCarthy’s responses was poor. Hopefully, you might be able to improve it or perhaps interview him again.

    Thanks David. COmments appreciated. Hopefully I will be able to get McCarthy Hanshi back soon, and yes, our recording methodology is (hopefully) much improved since I initially did that interview
