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 (76 mins) we cover the questions on self-defence, kata history and general training!

The second part will be out soon and it covers questions relating to bunkai and my personal like and dislikes! The third part will cover the future of practical karate,  teaching and miscellaneous questions!

As is something of a tradition with these end of year podcasts, I’ve also included some spoof advertisements :-) All very tongue in cheek!

Thanks for the support of the podcasts and I’ll be back with more very soon!

All the best,

Iain
