Episode 79. 55 Years Of Karate In Windsor, Ontario
The conversation
About Al Mady.
Al Mady sat down for Kumite Lifestyle. That conversation is episode 79, “55 Years Of Karate In Windsor, Ontario”.
Master Al Mady lives in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, right across the river from Detroit, where much of his early training took place. Windsor was the first place in Canada to get Isshinryu karate, and he comes from the Don Nagle lineage.
Growing up, he watched Bruce Lee on The Green Hornet with neighbors and wanted to do that too. He started at a judo club in the 1960s and got into Isshinryu in 1970.
He is the father of Chucky Mady, also a guest on the show. Master Mady talks about the evolution of martial arts and how to train smart so you never have to stop training.
“I got into Ishenru in 70, but I got in the martial arts in the sixties”
