“When I was coming up, we didn't look at anybody else, we didn't glorify anybody else, instead we learned by discovering what we could do.  Everybody was different.  Now days there is so much information out there and it is so easily available.  So now we try to become like others, and this takes away from that spiritual and physical muscle memory experience, that one needs to discover themselves.” – Val MijailovicMy guest this episode is Hanshi Val Mijailovic, who is an 8'th degree Karate Black Belt under the legendary Soke Tak Kubota, and was also trained in Judo and Iaido.  Hanshi Val was an international competitor and champion throughout the 70's, 80's, and 90's, winning the USA JKA Championships and the IKA World Championships.  He is the owner and publisher of Martial Arts Masters Magazine and has produced over 700 martial arts instructional videos.This episode is all about cultivating instincts and discovering yourself as a martial artist.  My key takeaway is that Karate and all Martial Arts are truly about Harmony.  Cultivating peace and balance within yourself is essential to success in life and in the heat of a battle.  To study oneself in a relationship with their opponent is truly the path towards mastery.  We also dive deep into training methods, fighting strategy, and the importance of becoming a good teacher.  Karate is not about fighting but about taking care of others and caring about their well-being.  But above all martial arts teaches us to how learn, how to live, and how to experience life.  This was an amazing episode filled with so much wisdom, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

How could iaido, a solo form based method of sword-drawing, have any practical impact on my jiu-jitsu training? Having freshly returned from an iaido seminar in the Pacific Northwest of the United States I make an attempt in this episode to articulate better the answer to that question and provide some thoughts on my experiences at my first iaido seminar. Plus, what are hopefully some helpful constructive criticisms that can help other newcomers better navigate the iaido waters for the first time.

Our guest is Randy Channell Soei who is a master tea practitioner from Canada. Randy went to Japan 37 years ago to study martial arts. His goal was achieved and he gained proficiency in various styles of martial arts, including Kendo, Iaido, and Kyudo. But somehow, his focus shifted to Japanese tea ceremony and eventually he became the first master tea ceremony instructor as a non-Japanese person.In this episode, we will discuss how Randy got into the tea ceremony, what exactly tea ceremony is, the spiritual aspects of tea ceremony that we all can benefit from, how you can try the tea ceremony, and much, much more!!!Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.
