Really good to se that mario is doing well. I worked with Mario while he was teaching English. I also introduced him to Derek English, another Karate teacher from New Zealand. It was a real joy to see how you are getting on.

Hello, do you have the email or contact with the respected sensei Mario McKenna?

Have you considered interviewing Michael Ettinghausen. He has had an illustrious competitive career with JKA and I am sure would have some interesting stories

Very interesting

Keep it coming. You should look into using a service such as Promo>SM!!!

Thanks again Cheyne...

Thanks for this.

When he said Sensei in and Cheyne outside I found that interesting. I was in the airport last week and an adult student called me Sensei and people turned lol. I dont mind what they call me outside the dojo they can use Sensei or Graeme, especially the adults I offer them more flexibility. But in class all my students call me Sensei. I also agree that context is a huge element. I wouldnt want somebody calling me Sensei in a pub lol.

Always good to listen to Mario. Thanks for this, I look forward to part 2.

One of the true gentlemen of karate! a good man - many thanks for sharing

Thanks for this Cheyne. Nice to sit in on your conversation. Looking forward to the next 'chapters'...

He is one of the most knowledgeable ever. Great man.

Simply put; Borkowski Sensei is the best. An inspiration as a teacher and business leader, but more as a person. Thank you for this amazing interview. Looking forward to the next episode!

Thanks for your time in putting this video together. Enjoyed listening. I have been practicing Martial Arts since I was 13 yrs old ( now 60 ) I have trained all over the world & Martial Arts is like religion. Instructors & students suggesting that their way is better than the other school & my teacher is the original way etc… blah blah blah… it’s identical to religious cults. I have been teaching for 21 years & have now retired from instructing in 2022. I have only taught techniques that work in the 21st century & if it doesn’t get rid of it !! I have also adapted the techniques to suit the different body shapes & weight of students as well. ( have created my own Katas that work in our world today ) E B Molina ( Hanshi to students ) Founder of EVI MUDO KAI 8th Dan Tang Soo Do Karate 5th Dan Taekwondo ( Kukkiwon ) 4th Dan Kyokushin Kai Karate. Be well & thanks again Osu.

Enjoyed it and love the show. I respect everyone's opinion and its ok to disagree. So what set Sensei Mitani different to other masters? How did he prove his interpretation of Karate was better than Funokoshi etc. Who did he fight?

Loved all 3 parts thank you

I really enjoyed this talk! You both have interesting perspectives. I definitely fall into bunkai craze at the moment but I can certainly appreciate that our training will take us to many different places at different times. I actually think that this is a really cool thing that karate has to offer, it can be practiced in many different ways to suit the varying needs and desires of its practitioners.

Cheyne, as you stated in the video, not all Okinawan Sensei are as portrayed by Mr. Quast. I have experienced what Mr. Quast mentioned, but I have also been fortunate to have been involved with Okinawan Senseis and association that is quite the opposite. This first of your videos I have seen. Nice to put the face with the name. I miss our Dojo Bar Trivia competitions.

Thanks for the opportunity to sit in on your conversation. A lot of feathers well and truly ruffled there no doubt, at the same time, a few home truths were voiced too. I believe it is possible to gain an understanding of karate every bit as profound as the Okinawans. But as with any achievement in life, this is accomplished not just by voicing opinions, but by action and the rejection of dualistic thinking. Be what you say you are, nothing more than that. There is a world of difference between making karate your own, and make your own karate. Unfortunately, the difference is either missed or ignored by (I would say) the majority of karateka. Karate is after all just an idea. Your understanding of this idea depends not only on your physical ability, but your motives too. Together, they form the lens through which you see what you're looking at.

Thank you! Great to listen to Andreas in full flow. On the few times we met, we always had interesting conversations. Personally, what kind of karate a person does means very little, compared to what they're doing 'with' karate. Those who hold so tightly to the peripheral clutter of karate, proclaim exactly what they're doing with it, regardless of the words they use. Looking forward to Pt3

Cool

Hello Cheyne, I stumbled over your podcast by accident this evening, but I was very happy to see you were talking with Andreas and to know there is more of him on the way. I see from your list of previous guest a number of people I will definitely come back to over coming days. All the best...

It's the invasion of the idiots"

Great episode! Love your work Ray Morcomb!

A lot of interesting commonalities here with the principals of Wing Chun and other Kung Fus. Thank you for the video.

😂😂😂😂 @Michael Hagen messaging in the middle of an interview..even quitting it wouldn't stop him from getting his message through..😂 Great conversation. 🙏🥋

I love the term functional spontaneity. It makes me think of sparring though. Spontaneity comes out of application against resistance. I’m really only familiar with Naihanchi but I’ve found that the movements of that kata can be applied very well to stand up clinch fighting.

I’m intrigued by your approach especially the way in which you use two person drills to make the bunkai live, it feels like your approach is an evolving one and I think it would be cool to hear a bit about your vary stages in reaching your current stage, excellent stuff Sensei! Keep stirring it up! This from a fan of a finish blow 😁

Enjoyed it but had to jump ahead because of time restraints. I can spare 10 minutes usually probably 15 minutes max.

Maintain the rage Sensei Cheyne - I love the content and your challenging the “because that’s what we’ve always done it” ideologies. I didn’t start this journey to defend against another Karateka, I wanted to be actually able to defend the random and unknown.. with so many drugs on the street, I personally believe that it’s more important than ever to be able to defend against the “chemically affected” and those not rational of thought. As always, looking forward to the next episode - Thank you for the effort it takes to make each, it is appreciated.

I was interested to note that Sensei Cheyne referred to "receiving" an attack. Not a lot of students understand that uke means to receive, even though we colloquilly refer to it as a block. The physics of an attack (I love applying physics to karate too) is that an incoming fist carries a certain energy. To block it you need to apply an equal energy. Very inefficient. To receive the attack is to divert that energy, preferably to use to your advantage. Aikido uses this a lot and I see aikido influences in the AKA syllabus. Not exactly the focus of the podcast, but I thought it was worth mentioning particularly as part of the podcast was about WHY we do things a certain way.

Great episode! Hopefully this encourages some more discussion in the community. Loved it!

I go back and forth about keeping these kata because of overlap with the older kata. I believe you are wrong about the lack of self defence elements. They are specifically meant for simple self defence. Having fewer kata is always better imo though. Thanks for sharing.

I agree with you, I did the same with gekisai 1, 2, 3, gekiha and kakuha. I don't see a reason to keep those promotion kata, they don't fit with my current karate goals.

For my two cents, instructors, good instructors, cannot be made. There is some inherent personal; qualities that give them a passion for teaching. In my experience it is much easier to find the "hidden" instructor and in this case teach them karate, than it is to find someone who is good at karate and teach them to be an instructor. Also in my experience, the best instructors are the ones who get excitement about the advancement of others. Leadership is about setting a direction for an activity, then setting up the right environment to encourage people to come along for the ride. Respect must be earned and cannot be demanded. The great satisfaction for an instructor should be to advance a student to a point that they did not think they could ever achieve. This applies to all teaching, not just in the dojo.

Terrific listen and great guest!
