The Longer Version
For about fifteen years Kris Wilder was a political and public affairs consultant spent time on United States Senate Staff, and worked as state executive director for two presidential campaigns, and had multi-state corporations and national organizations in telecommunications and transportation as clients.
During that time Kris appeared on ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, National broadcasts and local affiliates and even Nickelodeon. Kris also provided political perspective for KING 5 Television (Seattle), on “Up Front.”
The Martial Arts journey started around 1977 and has never stopped. The life long journey has included several bestselling books on the topic, international competition, and teaching in America and Europe. He teaches at the West Seattle Karate Academy (est. 1993).
Kris has spent years on his spiritual journey. He has attended many diverse spiritual experiences from spending several years as a Franciscan Friar to a year and a half tutelage with a Lakota Medicine woman, times with a Shinto group and mystics and healers of different modalities.
From sweat lodges to drumming circles, to chanting the vespers, to traveling to the remote Church of St. Begga in the Cumbria district of England, to the graves of Shi-Ju-shichi-shi in Japan the journey continues.
A proud graduate of Eastern Washington University, he still holds season tickets to the Eagles Football games.
“Sensei Wilder is a phenomenal teacher.”
