Welcome to your own personal Museum of Failure. Where every awkward sparring match, forgotten kata, skipped workout, and training stumble is on display…and totally worth celebrating.

In this episode of The Okami Kai Chronicles, we dive into why failure isn’t something to hide—it’s something to honour. Inspired by the real-life Museum of Failure in Sweden, this episode explores how our worst moments in martial arts and fitness are actually where the best growth happens.

From dogi mishaps to missed reps, we’re flipping the narrative on what failure really means and why your next big breakthrough might be just one faceplant away.

Whether you’re a white belt, a long time black belt, or a fitness student just trying to get through warm-up without crying, this one’s for you.
