Slippery Slopes and Dark Places of Karate

by Les, posted in general, interview, kata, Philosophy, podcast

Lengthy conversation with Rob Davis from Red Fish Karate, about all things Karate. Visiting the “dark place” enjoying the ride down the slippery slope of being different, and having ability to think. Exchanging thoughts and experiences about the techniques and our perception of them, exploring fear and our reaction to it. Contemplating lightening the fu.k up. 

Hope you will enjoy this one as much as I did. 

Come along and join us on the engineering side of Karate ( correction I’m only a technician!)

Seasons Greetings from Les

by Les, posted in Books, general
Merry Christmas!

I want to thank you for your support through this difficult year. Without you it would be not have been possible to continue to operate and run classes. In these difficult times I managed to get some of the best martial arts teachers to share their knowledge with you on their rules for success. I hope that you will find this small gift from us of benefit and are able to use some of the suggested rules to support your martial arts development. If not, I hope you at least find it amusing and a nice distraction.
Please use the link to download Rules for Success in Karate.




I am very grateful for your continued support and wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and all the best for 2021.

Best wishes,

Les Bubka.

Celebrating our 50th episode with Jamie Gray

by Les, posted in general

Wow it’s the fiftieth episode of Accidental Podcast!

In this episode I have the pleasure to talk with Jamie Gray. Jamie loves to engage in banter about my height, and I don’t hesitate to give back to him about his.

All round he is a great martial artist and great fun to be around, he is very open and friendly despite his size. Jamie seems to know everyone in Karate, he also has a very focused point of view on his club and who is allowed in. I bet I could sneak in into his dojo unnoticed via cracks in the wood.

I’m envious about Jamie’s new dojo, also Jamie is the only guest who doesn’t want to promote his webpage or Facebook group. If you beg him for long enough he might invite you into his group!
