PREACH! "If you're not completely dead after a kata you are not pushing your limits" I tell this to our students all of the time. Some of the best workouts come from just doing kata. Love your vids!
Wow! The Technique shown at 14:35 is Kote-Gaeshi in Aikido and the technique shown at 14:45 is named Juji-Garami in Aikido. So to me, every martial art is connected somehow. I've practiced Aikido over 20 Years and now i am into Karate. Does this make me a martial-Arts-Nerd? I hope so ;-)
Sensei Jesse,I'm learning so many offensive and defensive techniques by just watching and putting into practise your kata demonstration.Thank you so much Sensei,this is a treasure for me.Richard D'CRUZ,Malaysia.
Amazing video Jesse, I love the karate lifestyle which I have been lucky to have been involved in from a young age just like you. Wishing your brother much luck for his up coming fight, its good to see traditional karate on show on a top class stage. TANG SOO
I love your Dojo and your classes! Reminds me of the way my Sensei use to have classes. I'm a brown belt in Shorin Ru but our training is minimal now due to no longer having a Dojo. Right now a few of us meet at a guys business who allows us to use at no cost. Still love training but need to find a new Dojo.
This is so inspiring. It is paramount that everyone understand that we could all be doing what sensei Jesse is doing if we totally and fully commit to it and we know that nothing comes cheap in terms of commitment and that if you really really want it you have got to sweat for it and what could be better than working your butt off by achieving your dream at the same time. What could be better than fighting day in and day out to make it happen , learning a different lesson every day. Your passion can be karate or it can be something else it doesn't matter, it could even be another martial art or sport or whatever but we all have the potential to live an awesome life by doing what we love, working hard and growing EVERY SINGLE DAY. Sensei Jesse you are such a nice guy and a source of inspiration especially for people like me who have decided to pursue martial arts as a way of life , I will always be ever so grateful to you for the great work you put out and I look forward to working with you when I will finally be running my own dojo because I want my students to meet and learn from one of the most inspiring men that fed my passion and gave me drive. I look forward to attending another one of your seminars. I bow deeply to you sir and I send you many good vibes so that you may continue to do what you are doing and be happy . Oss
Great video! Smashing personality, very watchable and an excellent teacher! Only found this channel recently, but probably the most enjoyable channel I subscribe to. Obviously helps having very well made and edited videos, but Jesse anchors everything with charisma, charm and humour. Outstanding!
Again a great video! I really appreciate your way of looking at and understanding karate. Your mountain metaphor is very clear and brings out one of the main aspects I‘ve come to love about karate in the last years: we‘re all just a bunch of people trying to find a path, a way. And we are all trying to stay on it. Some of us will go a long way and not give up while some others will quit walking and leave the path along the way. It‘s never about reaching a certain point - like a grading test for example. It‘s actually about walking up this beautiful way. And walking together helping each other is always easier and a lot more fun!! Thank you for sharing with us once again your ‚behind the scenes‘ and for your passion motivating and educating karatekas around the world!! Arigatou gozaimasu!!
As always, your approach and philosophy are a source of motivation for me, especially when you mention that we shouldn't limit ourselves to one style. I have attained different kyu levels in 4 different styles of karate (no black yet!) and yellow in Judo, and I find that it all blends together: it complements each other to develop my own style. I really hope I can meet you someday, if you come back to Québec City (Karate Charlesbourg Rudy Duquet) or if I have the opportunity to visit beautiful Sweden again! Cheers!
You make your own kombucha? Wicked!! :D Also I liked your motto - if you’re not completely dead after a kata, you are not pushing your comfort zone.... I will apply this to poomse....
Super video my dear.you are an extraordinary creature.go ahead.let ur dreams come true.you r an amazing person.thank you so much for your videos.they r energizeing me to do my karate better
Nice video. I really enjoyed the parts where you were teaching class. Most of us realize that you're multilingual, but it's neat to hear you speak a language other than English. The best part, though, was your victory over the snack jar at 17:15. :) On a related topic to what you were discussing at that time, I recall hearing that recently a group of Okinawan sensei were discussing the meaning of the word "karate" and that the "empty" did not actually refer to the hand, but the state of mind. That is, "karate" doesn't just refer to a hand without a weapon in it, but also to a hand that acts without thought, i.e. with an empty mind. And that reminds me of your article (or was it a video?) on Shoshin/Mushin/Zanshin. :)
Knew your channel a few weeks ago but i'm already big fan, you really mean the "karate-do"! Wish i had a teacher like you. Thankyou for sharing your experience!
You sir are a nerd and proud of it, as am I. I loved this video. Made me a subscriber. Thanks for bringing together the worlds of the karateka and the nerd
It's a fun and honourable experience to see a the students learning weapons too from you. Cuz in our dojo we haven't been taught. Good to see. OSU#respectsensi😎😎
I just love to listen to you in Swedish. I’ve only learned a little of it a couple of years ago (no use in Russia, at all) but the phonetics are so great... feel nostalgic! 😌
I loved hearing a bit of Swedish (Jag pluggar svenska :D). I'm in para taekwondo, I always find something interesting and learn something new in your videos. Thank you! :)
Bruderrrr after the warm up that was Amazing those Moves and skill set... my eyes were like 👀👀 impressive 💯 And i love it that you react to the Comments after a 4 year Vid and that os amazing to cuz most of the "content Creators" dont do that
Great weapons training. Normally( not all but many) Karate schools do alot of the weapons kata without explaining or performing the applications. I was impressed by the belt /whip sparring. Maybe for a future episode you can do a video about fashion tips outside of the dojo. Many sport athletes and martial artists are not so fashion conscious. Also good luck to your brother. Again not the usual traditional Karate dojo. Your family and the Machidas seem to be pushing the envelope.
Awesome Jesse san. These behind the scenes vlogs are amazing. I eat that for breakfast too sometimes. Your take on life and aspects of training are so similar to my own. Keep up the most awesome work my friend. I like the part at the end with mum walking in. 'OH.............' Hahahaa fabulous.
Sensei I can't wait to get to the level you are, to train even more harder than what I do so I can exceed my limits as a karateka the morning training was amazing motivation
I miss Stockholm. Went there last summer. Beautiful city, good people, perfect mixture of modernity & tradition. If there is another life, I wish to be born there.
You remind me of a bruce lee of karate , like when you say dont limit your self to one style of karate, and how you describe karate as a mountain. I actually learn a lot from your channel. 👍
Great view on the life of a Karate Nerd!! I like your philosophy on life in Karate, so true! I also enjoyed the leg conditioning and kick training. I also like your Bunkai for Gekisai we have a different version of it but they all work! Lastly, good luck for Spain and watch out for the South African Gushukan team, they are going to take lots of medals!! ;)
Jesse operates with two percentages: zero, and one hundred. He reminds me of something Nichiren wrote: "The lion, king of beasts, advances three steps forward, then gathers himself to spring, unleashing the same power whether he traps a tiny ant or attacks a fierce animal".
yooo jesse-san amazing video we would like to see more of the training in your dojo also you always say i practice all different style but i never saw you doing a shotokan kata , i would love seeing you do kanku dai for example i would learn so much of it :))
Oss sensei. Okay!!! There are so many things I noticed and I loved them this whole video was awesome😍. Okay let me make points. 1. Sensei you not only teach us karate but also teach us to be a simple man, to lead a simple life. I mean you achieved so much you you live such a simple life. 2. Your training with oliver sensei was mind blowing. I mean in India we don't train like that. Rather we don't even know so much. Many students got torn ligament coz we can only afford karate training and not any sort of weigh training. 3. Sensei oliver train like a beast. I mean after watching him I felt I still have so much learn and so much to do. 4. After hard training again going to teach karate, wow that needs real patience. Teaching is really tough work to do. 5. Sensei your morning workout was so cool. And that was a nice haircut 6. I love weapon training I wish I could train with you sensei. 7. Sensei make more video of this kind. Its cool to see . I saw this with my mom even she enjoyed watching. And Senior Sensei motivate my mom too. 8. Sensei do Sensei Oliver have a youtube channel too? I'm very much interested in mma too. 9. I don't know why people here hate other style of karate. I always tell my students to respect all styles after all its karate. 10. Loved this video. And enjoyed watching this video a lot. Oss Sensei. ❤💕😊😊
Thanks for your nice comments! 😄 So fun to show you behind-the-scenes of my Karate work/life. Visit my website to learn more: www.karatebyjesse.com 👍
great stuff as always Jesse - the Preying Mantis bit in the kata you were practicing was interesting - what kata is it?
Jesse Enkamp can you teach us how to use nunchaku whether is in kata or bunkai and you are awesome btw
Good day Jesse San how's your mom
Jesse Enkamp how did you make those noises when you were training
Have a good lunch Sensei
“Nothing ever grows in the comfort zone”.... love it! Words to live by.
PREACH! "If you're not completely dead after a kata you are not pushing your limits" I tell this to our students all of the time. Some of the best workouts come from just doing kata. Love your vids!
I'm only a striped belt and am learning the basics of kata, but I'm always the earliest to arrive and am ready to learn😄
Nobody asked but anyway that's veery good for you continue that way and you'll reach really really far
Am 1st dan black belt
"never let your style limit your karate "
Your stances and techniques are so impressive. I love watching you perform those kata. So impressive
4:10 I’m so glad I’m not the only one who gets the urge to kick buttons and doors 😂
ALWAYS! 👊
Yes!! 😆
i think i flick light switches on with my feet more than my fingers
I always kick tge doors and my father and grandma start yelling at me. my mother gave up hope. she knows no one can fix me.
Yup
Wow! The Technique shown at 14:35 is Kote-Gaeshi in Aikido and the technique shown at 14:45 is named Juji-Garami in Aikido. So to me, every martial art is connected somehow.
I've practiced Aikido over 20 Years and now i am into Karate. Does this make me a martial-Arts-Nerd? I hope so ;-)
It does very much
Thanks SO MUCH for showing the evening dojo segment. So useful to see how class goes in your (mom's) school. Your channel is the best.
It’s not the first time I say this, but you seriously rock the contemporary world of Karate.
Great vid mate!
" Never let your style limit your Karate " that is what i will take with me on my martial arts Journey. Thanks Jesse
Sensei Jesse,I'm learning so many offensive and defensive techniques by just watching and putting into practise your kata demonstration.Thank you so much Sensei,this is a treasure for me.Richard D'CRUZ,Malaysia.
Thank you jesse and to your family for keeping alive karate's soul
Jesse, muy complacido de ver un joven artista marcial como tu. Eres una inspiración para los jovenes de hoy.
Amazing video Jesse, I love the karate lifestyle which I have been lucky to have been involved in from a young age just like you. Wishing your brother much luck for his up coming fight, its good to see traditional karate on show on a top class stage. TANG SOO

I recently found your channel and I am so impressed with your motivation. I appreciate all that you are sharing. Thank You from Las Vegas, Nevada.
First Shotokan karate lesson last night for an older dude like myself......glad i found your channel
What an amazing Family and motivation you had since you were a kid, God Bless keep going my friend! You are giving so much to the society!

Thank you for these longer videos Jesse ❤️
You make your own kombucha? Wicked!! :D
Also I liked your motto - if you’re not completely dead after a kata, you are not pushing your comfort zone.... I will apply this to poomse....
Super video my dear.you are an extraordinary creature.go ahead.let ur dreams come true.you r an amazing person.thank you so much for your videos.they r energizeing me to do my karate better
Jesse I think its awsome that you your brother and your mom all train together. I wish my family did that.
8:16 Hey! You're making my "stubbed my toe" face.
😂😂😂
Glad I'm not alone in the feeling of the gi being outdated. Love the vid!
Excellent. This was very enjoyable. Thank you! Cheers from Indiana, USA.
Nice video. I really enjoyed the parts where you were teaching class. Most of us realize that you're multilingual, but it's neat to hear you speak a language other than English.

Inspiring Kata, and your Mum with her weapons, oh my gosh she's my new Idol.
Watching Jesse perform Kata without a Gi was extremely impressive and humbling.
That's a perfect day in my eyes ... great video
Awesome Jesse san. These behind the scenes vlogs are amazing. I eat that for breakfast too sometimes. Your take on life and aspects of training are so similar to my own. Keep up the most awesome work my friend. I like the part at the end with mum walking in. 'OH.............' Hahahaa fabulous.

Love this! my favorite part was the snack lid fail while your simultaneously explaining Empty hand vs Chinese Hand. lol
We need more like this videos
Loved watching this, thanks for the fab video lovely x
Actually, I have a question. What do you think about building a career or making a living based on martial arts. If you think it's viable, how?
Absolutely! This is the topic of my upcoming keynote at Mpower Summit 2018 in Fort Lauderdale, Miami.
Jesse Enkamp let me know when it is - I want to attend that lecture!
Another great video. All the best 👌🥋
This seriously should be in Netflix
I wish Oliver good luck!
I love it Jesse am a white belt in shotokan and this is so motivational

Osu very good video you should do this more often and maybe ad subtitles when your speaking your native language in class
Yeah if I had a video editor I would definitely force them to subtitle it 😜
First time ever dissgreed with Jesse-san. The DoGi (no its not called just Gi) is beautiful and tradition is all we have - no tradition - no karate.
Sensei! Ossu! You so incredibly good!
Great video man.... really I appreciated!!! Oss
I loved the intro. 😊 And of course the rest. I always enjoy your videos. Lots of love. 😁👍
Big hug! :)
Jesse Enkamp Thanks😁
Loved It sensei!💙
