Welcome to the first part of this year’s Q&A end of year podcast! Thanks to everyone who submitted questions and topics!

In this first part (70 mins) we cover all the questions relating to Self-Defence, Training and General Karate.

In the second part (out very soon!) we will cover questions related to: Kata and Bunkai, Stance and Technique, Weapons, and Miscellaneous.

As is something of a tradition with these end of year podcasts, I’ve also included some spoof advertisements :-) A big thanks to Dylan Tucker who also submitted some advertisements. Some of these adverts contain very mild “bad” language. Nothing overly offensive, but it’s probably wise to ensure young children aren’t in earshot.

I’ve also tried to make the podcast as Christmassy as possible! That way you can simultaneously enjoy some martial discussion, get your Christmas on, and catch up on all those last-minute preparations for the big day as you listen!

Enjoy!

All the best,

Iain
