  • Episode #74 Inspiration and Motivation

    Love what you said in this episode about shifting energy from the "someday I wanna..." things to the things you love doing and are doing well. I recently had to make some hard decisions about how I spend my time. It's great to have confirmation that I'm on the right track with narrowing my focus. Thanks, Ando!!!

  • Sound advice & a great sense of humor

    You don't have to be a martial artist to appreciate Ando's wisdom, humor and solid advice. Listening gives me a way to work my brain, my heart, and my spirit while I strengthen my body. The podcast gets me through the tedious workouts. Don't get me wrong, I love the results of the workouts. But the podcast gives me a reason to actually look forward to all those reps. And, honestly, in each episode Ando reminds me of why I'm putting in the time and effort.

  • Great Life Lessons

    Sensei Ando has an easy-to-listen to style and great advice for everyone, including non-martial-arts students. I'm only 20-something episodes in, and I look forward to my commute when I have time to listen. Thanks, Sensei, from Nebraska!

  • My First Technique

    Hi Ando,

    My first technique was a strike set: front punch (front hand jab), reverse punch (rear hand jab), hook (lead hand), uppercut (rear hand). I remember the struggles of learning to move my feet properly, challenges of not leaning my torso & head forward and the importance of staying relaxed while striking (which can happen by controlling our breathing and smiling while we strike).

    Warmest Regards,

    Virgil Lee Dortch
