Fear is a Backstabber

Episode 326

So much to say here....Let's start with the fact that I'm quoting our guest Hanshi TD McKinnon in the title. Thank you Hanshi. 

Now I'll include a caveat. When we do episodes like this, we're not claiming to have 'the answer' for anyone. We're just old-timers talking about karate concepts. Therefore, if you have great ideas on how you deal with anything we talk about - Please Share with us!!

Hanshi McKinnon has been on the show many times. Here are a few:

We met Hanshi back in 2021. Here is his first interview:

I can't finish without saying that we mention common sense safety. We've done a number of episodes on this subject. Here's one:

And finally, we mention a saying we learned from Master Kelljchian "Expect the Unexpected" and here's the episode we did on that:
