LISTEN HERE TO EPISODE 002 OF THE APPLIED KARATE SHOW

In Episode 003 of The Applied Karate Show, I had the wonderful opportunity to talk with Sensei Kris Wilder of West Seattle Karate. Apart from being an accomplished practitioner of Goju Karate, in which Kris holds the rank of 4th Dan, Kris is also a skilled practitioner of Judo (1st Dan) and Taekwondo (2nd Dan). He is also the host of the Martial Secrets podcast, author and a really personable guy.

As an author, Kris has written 2 books - the excellent The Way of Kata: A Comprehensive Guide for Deciphering Martial Applications (along with Lawrence Kane) and the inspiring Lessons from the Dojo Floor. I highly recommend both of these books.

Join us as Kris tells us about his background in karate, his experiences with various instructors in various systems in the US, Okinawa and Japan. I was personally fascinated by some of his stories of training with Sensei Hiroo Ito in Seattle, and Sensei Yamashiro in Okinawa.

Listen out for Kris’ great definition of a martial artist - I found this to be quite poignant.
