Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Inside HDKI Hombu Dojo | Caitlin Mooney Tells All

Inside HDKI Hombu Dojo | Caitlin Mooney Tells All
Q: When did karate first come into your life?
Mooney started at about eight years old, initially disliked it and stayed mainly for the friendships. Around age 12 or 13, competition classes and a close-knit community helped her become more interested.
Karate Glory in Japan! | England's HDKI Cup 2026 Champions
Q: Did anyone feel like jet lag or did, was everybody settled before the competition?
The guests describe different experiences: one says the first five days brought dehydration and headaches, while another felt fine on arrival but struggled for about a week after returning. They recommend Pocari Sweat as an electrolyte drink in Japan's humid climate.
Karate Glory in Japan! | England's HDKI Cup 2026 Champions
Q: What was your most challenging fight of the day?
Shaun Cassidy says the final against Ross was the most challenging. He was cautious because he had not fought Ross before, and scored the winning point in the closing seconds.
Bob Rhodes Sensei: The Golden Era of British Shotokan Karate | UK Karate Podcast
Q: How did you get introduced to the makiwara and what did it teach you?
Rhodes describes making his own makiwara early on, emphasizing that real makiwara training is about building calluses and power, not tapping lightly; the wall eventually teaches the feedback and strength gained from pushing through resistance.
