Sue and Greg are joined by longtime friend of the podcast Dr James Hatch to talk all things Karate, Kobudo and everything else in between. Also we wanted to say a massive shoutout to long time listener Ben Holbrook who came to train with us a couple of weeks ago. This was recorded before then so we couldn’t shout him out during the episode, but there is something in it that being a fellow great mate he will appreciate.

Rest in Peace Sensei Chuck Merriman. We recorded this conversation with Chuck Merriman in August 2020. He talked to us for a long time and he told us incredible stories, One favourite was the time that he met Richard Burton in London. He sadly passed away in October 2021 and we wanted to say thank you to him for his generosity to spending so long with us and for sharing his wisdom and encouragement. And also to pass on our condolences to his family and many friends around the world. Please listen and enjoy this remarkable man. Sensei Chuck Merriman.

In this episode (recorded pre lockdown) Sue and Greg talk about the now cancelled fight between Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov, pre emptive striking, the fence and more! Hope everyone is doing well during this tough time and is most importantly keeping themselves safe.
Gichin Funakoshi quote on Pre Emptive striking from Karate-Do Kyohan: “When there are no avenues of escape or one is caught even before any attempt to escape can be made, then for the first time the use of self-defense techniques should be considered. Even at times like these, do not show any intention of attacking, but first let the attacker become careless. At that time attack him concentrating one’s whole strength in one blow to a vital point and in the moment of surprise, escape and seek shelter and help."

We've had the absolute privilege of having a wide ranging conversation with Sensei James Hatch who lives and works in Tokyo. We covered his experiences of Karate, in comparison to both western and Japanese culture, not only how it is practiced but also viewed broadly and taught. As a historian he also gave us a great deep dive on the history of Japanese martial arts and Karate in particular.
It's a fascinating and long episode so dive on in!
The sound quality isn't quite where we would like it to be as we recorded this on Skype (our first shot at it) and did a little technical work to smooth it out.
Hope you all like it. please get in touch with all your comments and questions.
