Elyse's Point guest this week is Suba Shrestha. Suba is a National Kata and Kumite Champion. I feel so lucky having Suba as a guest as I admire her skill, and although I recognize that she specializes in the forms aspect of karate I wanted to talk to her about Kumite and her experiences competing. Within discussing her experiences, Suba teaches me more about Kumite, we compare Point Fighting and Kumite, and speculate rule changes in Kumite over the years.

Elyse's Point guest this week is Trevor Nash. This is a unique interview with Trevor as who many people associate with one of the greats when it comes to competing in point fighting (honestly I don't even know all his stats and he wouldn't tell me when I asked)… but not a lot of people recognize him for his coaching. AND he's my current coach! We discuss Trevor's experiences and perspectives on coaching within sport karate, specifically: being an instructor vs. being a coach within sport karate, his experiences competing and coaching, the evolution of his own coaching and coaching in sport karate, the Gen Z athletes, loyalty and trust between coaches and athletes, and obstacles and misconceptions of coaching PhD Candidate; Mental Performance Consultant (CSPA-ACPS) www.embodiedmentalperformance.com @embodiedmp ----more---- Music for Podcast Time Out - Atch https://soundcloud.com/atch-music Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 Free Download / Stream: http://bit.ly/l-time-out Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/NPnLxESfv50 contact@atchmusic.com Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3c8YciV Apple Music: https://apple.co/3c6TeTS SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/atch-music Instagram: https://instagram.com/atchmusic YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/atchmusic

Elyse's Point guest this week is Dr. Maureen Connolly. An outsider to the sport karate community, Connolly is a Professor of Physical Education and Kinesiology. Connolly is an award winning teacher, a practitioner within sport and physical education (with a sport background in gymnastics, dance, and competitive body building) and helps everyone of every ability perform to their best. We discuss what “Pedagogy” is, the link between teaching and coaching, if teachers are born vs. made, experiences with bad teachers, power dynamics with teaching, what is “discipline”, and… how do you know if you're a good teacher/coach?

Elyse's Point guest this week is Maeghen Cotterill. Cotterill is an 11 time world gold medalist, President of WKU Team Canada, and Owner of 5 Elements Martial Arts in Calgary. We discuss the amazing rule set of sport karate, women participation in martial arts, strengthening sport karate in Western Canada, and sport karate in the media.  Note: this interview was recorded June 28th, 2021. During the interview it is briefly mentioned how for the first time there is a team Afghanistan participating in the WKU this year. Due to unforeseen recent circumstances in Afghanistan that probably is not the case any more. It is unfortunate and heartbreaking.

Episode 8: Let's talk about some of the influencing factors that affect the doers' and the viewers' perspective of sport karate. This is discussed through episode expert vs. novice knowledge, propagated information, and the actions within the game.

Episode 6: Let's discuss those karate kids (8-25 year olds)! This episode is speaking to competitive sport and NOT recreational sport. Youth sport and early sport specialization can be heavy topics -- and I'm using extreme examples (that do occur) to illustrate my point. Keep in mind I'm not stating "kids can't play competitive sport", but I am discussing how: 1) kids need to grow (mentally and physically) with the sport, and 2) what athletic identity is. It's good information, and a good compass for if you have youth athletes in sport karate! I include early 20s as "kids"... because research shows that the part of the brain that creates rational processes isn't fully developed until around 25 years old; the "act first, think later" mentality.

Episode 2: What is the purpose of sport? What is this idea of "real fighting"?? Why is it that when I tell people "I do karate" that they say "oh.. so that means you can beat me up?" Uhmm... No? But it does mean that I have dedicated time and effort into a sport to try and excel at the highest level I can. Just like any other athlete!!  Let's get into the WHY of sport. Why do I do the sport that I do?

Episode 1: Let's get into some of the Philosophy of Sport. This helps set the stage for how there are aspects of our sport that are amazing and how there are aspects that might be killing it. The first episode sets up the background for the topic, and I don't talk about the actual sport in much detail. The focus for you is to try and listen to the episode and apply it to your personal experience within the point sparring aspect of sport karate. Especially the difference between the traditional karate aspects as well as the sport of karate aspects Elyse Gorrell PhD Candidate; MPC (CSPA-ACPS) www.embodiedmentalperformance.com https://www.facebook.com/ElysesPoint https://www.instagram.com/embodiedmp/ (Karate; Sport Karate; Sport Martial Arts; Martial Arts; Point Fighting; Point Sparring) ----more---- References Beamish, R.

Preface: The introduction to Elyse's Point Miniseries I am feeling restless about the effects that the pandemic has on sport karate (specifically point sparring)... as a result I have launched a podcast that discusses elements of the sport! The episode outlines the purpose, the goal, and the structure of Elyse's Point. It also reviews my credentials and why I'm worth listening to. It seems appropriate to launch this podcast during one of my favourite times of the year! Be safe everyone!
