Hi Jesse, I am so sorry and I think you made the wisest decision. Also, despite your disappointment and surely anger, you still decided to share this video which will definitely help other karate-ka who may also be going through a rough time. Chin up! You're a true inspiration!
Damit, so sorry to hear this. I hope you recover fully very soon. This is one of your best videos, even if there was not much karate in it. This is a lesson. Keep kicking ass, Jesse, and stay safe.
I'm so sorry to hear that. I can't imagine how hellish that must have been! You're positive outlook is so inspiring, and you definitely made the right decision. Get well soon!
Everytime you ate something there I freaked out, completely understand that when you look at it you go man it looks safe, but a goddamn packaged Ice cream can knock you out. dude props for you to even be uploading about your failures you're a bigger man than I.
So sorry to hear that Jesse! I hope that you get 100% better soon. Your health is more important than one competition. I felt as if you competed with a fever, and an upset tummy, would limit you in your performance, so i’m glad you decided to rest and fly home. Love you dude!
As my Shihan once told me when I first entered my Freshmen Tournament years ago: "Your health is a lot more important than a plastic trophy.....A trophy can be replaced, not your life"......I keep this quote from my Shihan as a reminder everyday of my life. I hope you get well soon Mr. Enkamp.
The video was actually very good. Your wisdom on health is very True! I’m struggling with shoulder and sciatica. At 48, going Froward smarter! You are a great encouragement!
Greetings Sensei. When I heard the end of the story I felt perfectly identified with you, because the same thing happened to me, but at least it happened to me in my country and I did not spend money for travel and lodging. It also depresses the experience, and it is something worrying because there are times when it is thought that it can be aggravated. In any case, the important thing is that you are already better, and that you have other opportunities ahead of you. He also learned about another culture, and that always helps. Keep sending your videos so unique and instructive. Congratulatios from Panama.
I knew it! When I started watching the video I knew that something like this would happen and...BANG! In my first honeymoon I traveled to Tunisia and the same thing happened to me. All that I keep from that trip are pictures of the toilets, lol It was a great experience and I learned a lot about toilet decoration 😂😂😂
Don't apologize Sensei, it was still a great video and as you stated health comes first. You'll get your chace next time. Just focus on getting better, we're always with you no matter what.
We r here for u. Wether it’s ur karate vlog, or travel vlog. U r our inspiration . We love u, no matter what. & thanks to God u r safe back home. Praying for ur recovery. Take good care of urself dear. Lots of love....
I never thought something like this would happen with you sensei but you made the right decision in the ending after all we don't want our main karate nerd to be sick 😊 please take care of your health 👍
I am sorry to hear you missed the tournament, I hope you are feeling better by now. GREAT VIDEO.....totally awesome your still doing an awesome job.... See you Soon.
Tough break Jesse, but take heart, like you said, thats life, we all have to roll with the punches sometimes - either way you kept it real for yourself and even for us and thats always appreciated. Be strong my friend, hope you get back to 100% soon
It doesn't matter sensei i enjoy yours vids! Its nice to meet a new city! I love the K1 competition but also love ur vids! And of course health comes first!! Hope u recover!
I'm really sorry for what happend and hope you're all better now. And i think you made the right decision. These are life challenges to gain experience from them. Also, i enjoyed the video so much, it was fun.
You are absolutely right about the decision you made. I just recently got food poisoning and I had a tournament coming up and I had to sit out for a week because of infection and raised blood pressure and high heart rate. It can be very dangerous to not relax and take care of your body.
Awww so sorry to hear that Jesse, that must have been so hard. Good on you for keeping the best mindset and putting your long term health first. Take care 💛
Your videos are always great , sorry to hear what happened to you hope, your doing better and you will be back at it again keep your positive attitude and things will find away to work themselves out
Thanks for your humility and always solid content for karate practitioners, Jesse. Perseverance equals rank as does self control. Leading by example is always the right choice. Stay healthy, train hard and have fun.
Ah Jesse... you're a legend. I know I shouldn't laugh... 🤣 I have been to Morocco.. and I was watching you eat all that stuff thinking... 'He's gonna be ill'. 😦 You're videos are great. Keep them coming...
Your videos are always very educational & fun!! I must admit, I laughed when you talked about poop LOL!! But so good to see you return to Good Health again Sensei Jesse! Greetings from Florida! HAI..
Bless you what a horrible experience, I appreciate your honesty and your openness, you are nice humble person, keep up you excellent work! I believe that you are on a important mission, that is far more important than the olimpics! ( everything happens for a reason) Never Give Up 🙏
Omg, you are taking me down memory lane. I lived in Rabat for a month during college to do research. I also visited Casa and the mosque. Great food and great people. And now I know it's great karate, too! So, so sorry about the food poisoning!
As a practitioner in the art of Nokandui...I didn't care too much about the Karate part. I love food and food vlogs anyways. Sucks though that u got ill. I've been there myself and know how u feel. In the words of Mike Tyson, Tough times don't last, tough people do. Doesn't matter where u find that tough thing happening.... Could be in training, competition or hell even in the shit house; the thing is that it will come to pass... So glad ur feeling better and don't feel that you've let your Country down or some shit like that. Who cares right....you pay enough taxes anyways. Love ur work man, keep at it coz it inpires me to get off my ass and start training my craft all over again......Look forward to your next one bud👍😊👌 Cheers from Australia.
Oh my god, I'm so sorry for that! That was so unfortunate! I'm not into competition karate, but if there is something that would make me watch and root for a karate athlete in the Olympics it would be you. Really hoping you'll make it to the next opportunity!
A lot of times (if not all the time) making the right choice is making the hardest choice. If it were easy, everyone would do it. I love your videos. You seem like a super nice guy and I hope you continue to get better.
Watching this 4 years after the release of this video and i think you made the perfect decision on this. Health always comes first, everything else after. Although you didnt compete it still is an interesting video to see a bit of culture of Marocco.
Happy recovery.. Yes situations like these happen.. But maybe they are giving us some hidden messages.. Challenge is to manage the disappointment that you feel when these kind of things happen.. 😊
That's what I call bad luck. It's a shame man, but every journey has its ups and downs, and Karate is a journey. Keep it up Jesse, you're awesome and I hope you get better
Hope you feel better soon😀and could you consider making a video on nunchucks? I have had them for a while and I would like to learn some more techniques with them.so if it's a possibility I would like a video like that
Sorry you fell ill, I completely feel for you missing the tournament.... GREAT VIDEO though, keep up the awesome work.. Take care your friend...Christopher.
Oh no, Jesse! I couldn't continue to the next video without sending my thoughts your way. In my experience within this crazy life we live, everything happens for a reason. First time I have commented on any of your posts or any youtube channel at all. So your lucky mate hahaha
I feel you man! Same shit has happend to me or sorta, I wanted to go and finally get to show the teachers that i could swim and finally get my grade in PE but just that day then i got food poisoning and i felt so dissapoting, btw i am a taekwondo practisioner now, anyways hope you get well soon or as we say in Sweden, krya på dig!
Holy moly! So glad you're ok now my friend :) Next time you travel abroad for a competition, be careful with that local food bro! Now, when is the next qualifier for Tokyo? Can't wait to see you compete at 100% of your capacity. Take care Jesse, Cheers mate!!!
I hope you're feeling better Jesse. I remember thinking as I watched the video on about the second day, "He looks tired. Wonder if it's jet lag." As we all know, life can be one damned thing after another. Feel better soon.
Jesse u did the right choice and may you get well soon!!! When one door closes another one opens....So this tourament wasnt your calling there will be tons more coming your way.....I will be praying for you Sir!!!!! May God bless you!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
That’s awful such bad luck. Anyway if you put that aside think of what a lovely country you visited and how much delicious food you ate, most importantly. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for your kind comments! 🌟 Getting better every day ☺️ Visit my website to learn more about Karate: www.karatebyjesse.com 👍

Jesse Enkamp I

Very sorry to hear that, shit happens (no pun intended). Next time you compete, I know you are going to bring in the thunder!
You should try avoiding street food while travelling, especially when you have something as important as a competition.
The less you care about what people think about you the more happy you will be.
Captain obvious, you were in disguise! I almost didn’t recognize you.
I like the combination of your videos, a bit of tour in the city, teaching karate in the middle of botanic gardens ( 6:26 good tip). Good job, Jesse!
The video was actually very good. Your wisdom on health is very True! I’m struggling with shoulder and sciatica. At 48, going Froward smarter! You are a great encouragement!
Glad you are feeling better. Thanks for all you share with us. I am a new fan of yours and I love what you do for all of us Karate Nerds.
Once again I am three years late! But I am loving these videos! 💜
Damn! Don't be sad! You're great, keep up the good work! And BTW, the video was very nice!
Thanks for the tip about lateral stability.
Glad you liked it! 😄💪
Thank you for the upload Jesse ❤️
And thank you for adding a few tips in each of your vlogs :D

Don't get disappointed if you did not compete at this tournament you will win another one

Doing that kick with sunglasses on made me think of Goo and Gun from Lookism.😂 So cool.
You made the right choice. Stay strong and healthy my friend, for we are destined to meet one day 😊
We shouldn't get too hung up on the things that are out of our control, as they are fated to be. Glad you still released this video though!
Health before wealth. Glad to hear you're doing better Jesse-San.
Sorry for you Bro, hope you'll get better soon! All the best from Germany
Sorry to hear about this. Glad you’re on the mend. So easy to catch a bug in Morocco. Really feel for you man.
keep going forward, hold your head high, move forward with a firey passion in your heart, you picked the right decision.
Your videos are always great , sorry to hear what happened to you hope, your doing better and you will be back at it again keep your positive attitude and things will find away to work themselves out
Thanks for your humility and always solid content for karate practitioners, Jesse. Perseverance equals rank as does self control. Leading by example is always the right choice. Stay healthy, train hard and have fun.
Long live Jesse Enkamp. Was just thinking when your new video was gonna come. And just then the notification popped up.
You were in touch with the Universe 😎
Ah Jesse... you're a legend. I know I shouldn't laugh... 🤣 I have been to Morocco.. and I was watching you eat all that stuff thinking... 'He's gonna be ill'. 😦 You're videos are great. Keep them coming...
hope you get better soon ! are there other comp that you can do to qualify?
The video was still a great watch! I am off to work at 4am in the morning and it helped wake me.
by any chance can anyone name the kata between 7:00 and 7:07 ???
Can you please share a video of streching legs
Your videos are always very educational & fun!! I must admit, I laughed when you talked about poop LOL!! But so good to see you return to Good Health again Sensei Jesse! Greetings from Florida! HAI..

Bless you what a horrible experience, I appreciate your honesty and your openness, you are nice humble person, keep up you excellent work! I believe that you are on a important mission, that is far more important than the olimpics! ( everything happens for a reason) Never Give Up 🙏
That sucks Jesse!!!! Hope you feel better things like that are the worst!! Thanks for taking us on your journey anyway!
Eehhh, don't worry about that Jesse San, just send them the kata shooting you had on the rooftop, it was top class!!
That's a bummer man.. sorry to hear that happened...
Just one of those things...
Next time..
Keep up the good work
Strange to see the photos on your Instagram and the video only comes out now 😂
It was a long trip! 😄
Jesse Enkamp i hope you liked it haha
I feel so sorry, also all that food looked delicious! Get strong for the next competition.
Omg, you are taking me down memory lane. I lived in Rabat for a month during college to do research. I also visited Casa and the mosque. Great food and great people. And now I know it's great karate, too! So, so sorry about the food poisoning!

we've all been there bro :) keep your head up
Everything happens for a reason man... who knows what might've happened if you had competed.
Who is the mysterious camera person🤔🤨
We love you Jesse!!!!!
Sorry to hear that. I can't imagine how you felt. Quick question what dan grade are you?
Hope you feel better soon😀and could you consider making a video on nunchucks? I have had them for a while and I would like to learn some more techniques with them.so if it's a possibility I would like a video like that
Sorry you fell ill, I completely feel for you missing the tournament.... GREAT VIDEO though, keep up the awesome work.. Take care your friend...Christopher.
Been there mate. Had the same type of experience in India and no way you could have competed. Took me a week or more to recover
Oh no, Jesse! I couldn't continue to the next video without sending my thoughts your way. In my experience within this crazy life we live, everything happens for a reason. First time I have commented on any of your posts or any youtube channel at all. So your lucky mate hahaha
Your the best youtuber
Live today and fight tomorrow Jesse san.
Happy that you're recovering in a good pace.
Wishes from Embassy dojo
Sad to see you missed it, but it was still a very interesting video, and I'll make sure to try the knee exercise as well as look up Peak.
I feel you man! Same shit has happend to me or sorta, I wanted to go and finally get to show the teachers that i could swim and finally get my grade in PE but just that day then i got food poisoning and i felt so dissapoting, btw i am a taekwondo practisioner now, anyways hope you get well soon or as we say in Sweden, krya på dig!
Is there any way for you to go to the olympics
Holy moly! So glad you're ok now my friend :) Next time you travel abroad for a competition, be careful with that local food bro! Now, when is the next qualifier for Tokyo? Can't wait to see you compete at 100% of your capacity. Take care Jesse, Cheers mate!!!
Your advice is the best
Where can I find the book that you were talking about?
Don't worry. I also had similar situation on the on of karate competitions. I hope that you will give 100% on the next event!
I hope you're feeling better Jesse. I remember thinking as I watched the video on about the second day, "He looks tired. Wonder if it's jet lag." As we all know, life can be one damned thing after another. Feel better soon.
O neeeeej ! Snacka om otur. Det bli inte alltid det som man tänkt. Men du gör väldigt inspirerande videos ändå. Krya på dig . Be water my friend.
8:56 Lol the sign misspelled "Registration."
Jesse u did the right choice and may you get well soon!!! When one door closes another one opens....So this tourament wasnt your calling there will be tons more coming your way.....I will be praying for you Sir!!!!! May God bless you!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
