Thanks for subscribing and supporting my work! 🙏🙏🙏
No problem bro!
Sir plz make video on krav maga you play krav maga❤❤❤ love from india
Another great video... @KARATEby jesse you are a great martial artist in my opinion im just wondering what does martial arts mean to you?
Thanks for your job Jess😊
If you have the time and opportunity, try to meet Sifu Sergio Iadarola. I think that would be a great experience. :)
6:48 The end of this video is worth its weight in gold
"It's not about the style as much as it is about the teacher, and if you're not willing to think outside the box, you're never going to master the art… Tradition is not about preserving the ashes, but rather about keeping the flame burning because that's how the art stays alive."
Much agreed
It's a great statement.
shu ha ri
In this case the Wingchun was def changed to something else and master ip wasted his time lol no sorry but the real wing chun used dummy exactly for their style without changing it for ages go check in Wong shun Leung he prolly the last one who thought the real way of wing chun
There's actually a song by The Longest Johns called "Ashes." They're a group that's focused on sea shanties but rather than just staying fixated on only the traditional songs they also add to the genre. They got hate from the traditionalists stuck in what was aptly called "the classical mess," and the song is their reply.
"Watch that old fire as it flickers and dies
That once blessed the household and lit up our lives
It shone for the friends and the clinking of glasses
I'll tend to the flame; you can worship the ashes
Capture the wild things and bring them in line
And own what was never your right to confine
The lives and the loves and the songs are what matters
I'll tend to the flame; you can worship the ashes..."
It conveys a surprisingly similar message to the summation here at the end of the video.
Anyone notice how Jesse looks EXACTLY the same as when he very first started this channel? Jesse EnKamp=Immortal.
That's because he drinks white belts' tears every morning.
Training..joy..curiosity
I noticed the same thing. He is definitely immortal.
He was in the delivery room for the birth of karate... In the birthplace of karate.
Clearly a vampire. He trains martial arts to better defend against stakes.
"Tradition is not about preserving the ashes, but rather about keeping the flame burning" woooooa, Jesse casually dropping some of the most profound statements about martial arts ! Great content ! Never fails to both entertain and educate.... and remind us where the birthplace of Karate is !
I think a mix of traditionalist/purist and people who are able to think outside of the box and evolve or grow a style are both important for preserving a style's heritage.
Its a quote by mahler, still profound of course
Sifu dider beddar....
Really happy to meet this Master Jesse.
And welcome in France and Paris.
Merci!!
Man what a surprise... I'm French and I totally didn't expect seeing Didier Beddar on your channel. Thank you so much for giving him the spotlights, he deserves it
Me too
Same here, baguette bros !
Wing Chun is fast. My sensei has taught me Karate in a unique way, the speed of Wing Chun combined with the power of Karate. I can see the effectiveness of using and having both at your disposal.
They come from the same origin!
Combine the soft with hard (ehm).. truly the best.
@@carloscolon1279 Goju-Ryu Karate meaning Hard and Soft Style.
when fighting in a small area, you're basically forced to do some version of Wing Chun. personally, i would rather fight in a larger area, and use Savat..
I learned them in tandem, and it had great benefits.
Training in Wing Chun and still finds a way to get in a “Okinawa, the birthplace of Karate.” 😊
Love your work, man.
Opposite....
I mean it's not a bad connection for his audience since he's Karate and Karate comes from Okinawa, which was developed from the Chinese trades that were going on.
As a Wing Chun instructor myself, the comment about "I was told this was used for finding your opponent in the dark..." I immediately thought, "well, that's like the idea of the Chum Kiu form (Wing Chun's second form that means 'Seeking Bridge'). You're seeking a bridge/contact with your opponent, and it's very much like reaching out in the dark. You don't know what you're gonna run into, until you make physical contact to use the skills developed from the Chi-Sau training. So, that may have been a metaphor for what it actually is, and just got lost in time/translation." Besides being in the Muk Yan Jong Fat (Wooden Dummy Techniques), that movement is also found in the Chum Kiu (Seeking Bridge) form!
I'm not even familiar with the move. But, I knew it was metaphoric when he said it. I'm sure he did also... I would hope. I thought he was just complimenting the instructor by explaining it like that.
Yea in the tradition I am learning they call that technique that he referred to with that metaphor as "sinewalli" or "cinewali", idk how you would spell it, but its common in phillipino and japanese karate systems. I think the "finding ones way in the dark" is because sometimes we practice it with our eyes closed, because its all about developing that tactile grip. Its like a sticky hands drill but with more real life striking and distancing involved. Its one of my favorite drills
I love how you always open minded and willing to learn.
That's just how my parents raised me
Yeah, his channel embodies a lot of the principle knowledge-seeking that Bruce Lee wanted to encourage people to pursue in exploring the martial arts.
The sound the wooden dummy makes is kind of pleasant, at least in my opinion. Some people probably find it to be grating on the nerves, but to me, there's a satisfying percussion and rhythm that sounds really cool.
It’s kind of like a speed bag in that way; the rhythm of the speed bag clears my mind.
exactly, same here. like asmr to me. it sounds so nice.
The IP Man movies did a good job of depicting the rhythm and almost meditative nature of the sound when practicing on the wooden dummy. There was a Zen to it, a flow. I imagine anyone really practiced in the wooden dummy would find themselves getting into that state fairly easily.
practice on a wooden dummy is a guy's thing, I guess.
Mr Merchant the neighbours probably wouldn't like the noise
Somethings to note:
As you showed in your trips to China, White Crane influenced karate, and the birthplace of White Crane is 永春 Yong Chun (Wing Chun in Cantonese). The art in the video is 咏春 Wing Chun, the same pronunciation. There's also another lineage called 永春 in Hong Kong. Wing Chun is literally an offshoot of White Crane. Sometimes White Crane was just called 永春拳 Wing Chun boxing, there are still styles of Crane that use this name in Taiwan. And that's how Wing Chun is related to karate 😃
Another note: I've seen Goju ryu practicioners using a form of wooden dummy, maybe one day you can make a video on that as well!
I love how you phrase your request as "is it possible". It shows earnest respect.
Hello from Luxemburg, Europe. I was last month in April by Sifu Didier Beddar in Paris. It was amazing to practice Wing Chun with such a great Master ✨️🙏🏻✨️
Wonderful! Glad you enjoyed it
@@KARATEbyJesse in reality I am French and already on Chinese experimentation TH-camr I know him he goes each time with the other TH-camrs who are known and who practice martial arts and I know him the one who feels very good with the model of training he has already made more videos in my country
It’s good to see a genuinely very good Wing Chun sifu! I’m sick of seeing clueless so called Masters giving the art a bad name!
I’m now saving for a wooden dummy as I’m almost at the stage where I can start learning it.
I love your channel. You don't get tied down in arguments about styles, you just go out there and learn.
Sifu Beddar is big capacity not only in wing chun,but in martial arts world general
He's the real deal
Didier Beddar is the best in France !
Who is it then ?
@@blutch8141 the best master of wing chun in France ,a student of William Cheung
@@youfafao you may be right. beddar is awesome. he is in some videos speaking french, i didnt know he speaks english. His skills are very high
"I'll tend to the flame you can worship the ashes."
Ashes, by the Longest John's.
Your sentence at the end reminded me of this
Love that!
Great video and loving your content 🙏 please note as an instructor for Ip Man and Ip Chun lineage we are taught the dummy is a moulding tool and shouldn’t be used to desensitise your arms and definitely not break your hand. Contact and feeling is important in feeling what your opponent is doing, so you want to keep the nerves active. (One inch energy can be practiced on the dummy by placing your finger tips on the main body then using the palm to develop explosive power.) I really agree with your open minded philosophy and I’m looking forward to your next wing chun video 🙏
Funny, it actually IS what I thought. I'm a novice at best and have never practiced on a wooden dummy before, but from observing people training with it, I could tell that it's not to practice your attacks, it's to practice blocking and intercepting. Great video!
people think it’s bullshit because it’s unusual and shows up in movies where it’s not explained well, but blocks, counters, and hand traps in the pocket are widespread in striking sports. Not to mention the conditioning of the arms.
Play more Siu Nim tau.
You don’t know much it brings me joy to see these kind of videos. Being a Wing Chun practitioner (still ever learning), to see it get the chance to flourish and that connecting with other martial artist to share knowledge. I love your channel and it really has sparked more and more drive to push my martial arts journey!
I am VERY happy to see you broadening your horizons beyond Karate.
I bought a Mook Yan Jong because of seeing Master Wong using it! I gotta say it has improved my speed and forearm toughness!
I didn't expect to see my sifu and the academy in this video. thanks to you. thank you sifu 🙏
Jesse I absolutely love that you never disrespect your gi. Every video no matter which discipline you wear your gi with honor. Love your channel keep bringing the joys of martial arts to the world!
Always a high quality content with Sifu Didier Beddar!
Great video Jesse👊
You did it again Sensei Jesse! Another great thought provoking and instructive video. I love the way that despite being an expert in Karate you are always open to learning other Martial Arts! You certainly have Shoshin “the beginners mind!” That you talk about in your videos. Keep up your great work!
A wooden dummy is really great for counter attacking, parrying and blocking and trapping.
Road to 1,000,000 subscribers let’s get there. Good luck Jessie. Your videos are fantastic
Great video Jesse! As an active Wing Chun practioner this answers all the questions as to why we practice the wooden dummy set. Some really nice techniques here from Sifu Didier!
I'm so glad you got to meet with Didier! And I'm glad that you experienced more Kung Fu!
Especially since I've been giving you comments about it for a while now :P
In the begining, martial arts were one thing,
and in the end, they are slowly but surely coming back together as one :)
Your martial art journey is amazing :D
Excellent job! I remember a couple of years ago saying Sensei Jesse should meet with a Wing Chun master. I thought we’d see the Ip Man movie in real life with a “final fight” scene. We didn’t get that here. We got better 😊. Mutual learning and understanding were on display here. Sensei Jesse pointing out how all of the Southeast martial arts are related and how we shouldn’t preserve ashes, those were great moments. Thank you for a fantastic video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great summary of the purpose of the wooden dummy. Sifu Beddar is amazing! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for chiming in!! 🙌
I’m so glad you did this video, I think a couple of years back I messaged you about wing chun because I practice it and I’m happy you got to experience it with Sifu didier beddar he’s one of my favorite teachers
I have been studying wing chun for at least 8 yrs now and this video enchants me 😁✨✨✨
Sifu Didier Beddar is one of Grandmaster William Cheung top students, 2nd generation from the Ip Man lineage.
Thank you Jesse for your effort, your time and your enthusiasm. Great to follow your work.
Best regards from Germany
I loved the message of this video.
In my school we study various lineages of Wing Chun (from now going back in time towards the Shaolin roots: Hong Kong, Red Boats, Chi Sim, Hung Fa Kuen, etc) and the beautiful part is: the more back in time you go, the more you learn of the Wing Chun Formula. It's a series of principles of time (tempo/distance), space (positioning, footwork and dividing the 3d space in sections) and energy (faat ging and other methods for hitting hard) that guides you in the martial science.
Once you grasp the fundamentals of the science and express them in your way, there's art, there's style!
It's ironic how people got so attached to Bruce that they forgot what he teached: learn the science, do not get hung up on other people's styles.
Perfect timing, I was just looking into these!
Bravo Jesse!
Jede Kampfkunst hat ihre Daseinsberechtigung!
".... denn die ultimative Wahrheit, liegt in der Seele jedes einzelnen Menschen." - Bruce Lee
Didier beddar is an amazing Wing Chun shifu. That's awesome you got to make a video with him
This man's work on the wooden dummy is spectacular. Thank you for showing it.
super vidéo 😮
Merci pour Sifu Didier Béddar✌️🙏
Merci Jesse✌️🙏
2:09 great teaching point, simplifying your response by knowing which arm is being thrown and monitoring the passive arm
you always provide us a good content man!!!!!
Love it, thank you for another insight into the art, Jesse!
I love the seamless flow of the hand techniques with the wooden dummy practice. Bruce showed it in his close-quarter moves in his movies when he combined it with his other techniques.
i used to train in wing chun and now i train in goju ryu karate and sanchin dachi reminds me so much of the standard wing chun stance! same with a lot of the reactive movements (uke) its always fun to recognize the connections between the arts and it kinda feels magical when you recognize a technique and learn yet another interpretation of it
As I said in another comment from anither channel, Didier Beddard needs to get a full reportage on him , his wing chu, his philosophie , his biography. He is someone not to forget and also we need good energies like the one he projects to us.
You have such an open mind and ability to absorb new information. It’s so fun watching you take this journey of experiencing different martial concepts and theories. Thanks for bringing the viewers along for the ride.
Thank you so much!
Great video Jessie-san :) As a former JKD + Tai Chi student currently training in karate, I can resonate with the similarities between styles as you have called out, especially where there is a common lineage. At the end of the day we all end up practising our own 'style' in the 'family' of the lineage(s) you have been taught ;)
This is something I’ve always wanted to try and incorporate into my Karate training
Very cool
Thanks for sharing. You’re standing with a good one Jesse. Real deal! I’ve been watching Sifu Beddar and his students for years. I train under the same lineage as Sifu Beddar, so it’s nice to see others involved around the globe 🌎 I Always enjoy his videos and the way they train in France. Extremely skilled Sifu.
I hope you do another video with Sifu Beddar. Jesse, if you’re ever in the states, New Jersey to be exact. Look up Master Keith Mazza of Traditional Wing Chun. He is chief instructor of North America Traditional Wing Chun Association. Master Mazza’s Martial Arts background is extensive! Not to mention real world experience as security and law enforcement trainer. He also went undefeated in cage fighting in his early days. Very humble individual with a wealth of knowledge.
Excellent video, it is always amazing to watch real masters apply their art!
You mention commonality between actions here in Wing Chun, in Karate, and also in Filipino martial arts -- I'll add that you find the same principles and very similar actions in Traditional Fencing.
All goes back to your analogy of getting to the mountain peak and finding it's all one!
Your videos are always amazing.
Thanks for uploading this video 😊
Nice. Respectful and genuinely curious approach to different martial arts. Loved how you compared it to Kali at the beginning as I thought about a Kali move also when I saw that thing.
I'm happy to see this humble legend, Didier Beddar.
Wow thank you for meeting Didier Beddar who we can truly consider a great Master of the martial arts living on Earth currently! I hope you will make other videos with him because he is full of surprises and skills
Great job Jesse. Great to see Sufi Beddar on the channel. Love watching his videos. Enjoy!
A legendary meeting 🤝
I like the last part you said bro thanks for sharing! 👊 Peace out!
One of the best videos yet. Thanks Jesse
You are always distinguished in all your meetings with senior martial arts teachers and your interesting topics. Through your channel, we learned many things related to the world of martial arts. I hope that you will conduct interviews with the stars of martial arts films in the eighties and nineties.
Thank you for the video! This is another proof showing that all martial arts are just 1 as we are 1 race. As long as we learn properly, any Art is applicable.
I myself is a Wing Chun practitioner, too, and I really admire those who connect different arts together, not to see the pros and cons only, but to show each art's stylistic beauty and wisedom.
Thank you 🙏
Always a pleasure to watch Jesse introducing us to a new martial arts or a variant there of.
Hard to describe but he seems like a kind and generous person who also in a flash can take care of a problem if it comes his way. Thanks for the video Jesse
Yoku yatta! Hitting the nail on the head @KARATEbyJesse . It’s about thinking outside of the box. The irony is that many Okinawan styles actually did put all the techniques inside the box aka keeping it “secret”. You only find this out late or should I say early mornings in Okinawa after many orions, when a local sensei calls you up and shows something you’ve never seen before. Ps. JP here from South Africa, Cape Town needs another training session🥋🇿🇦
Jesse, great video, as always! I'm surprised you didn't talk about the most important aspect of this kind of training... the healing process. Most Southern Chinese Martial Arts have some sort of toughening regime; dummy practice, blocking drills, etc. But they almost always use various liniments (usually dit da jow 跌打酒) to promote healing after the practice. Healing + toughening (slowly) over time = far fewer broken bones due to training. 🙂
Wing Chun is such a cool martial art, and so grounded. I'd love to study it some day. I'll never forget the time I got to spar with a Wing Chun student.
great work as ever Master Enkamp
I love you you are the eternal student, always seeking knowledge and exploring. Even though you have your yudansha black belt you still seek I’m the same way. There’s always things to learn and there’s always different arts and different applications different weapons to study.❤
Nice job, Jesse. Didier Beddar is a machine!
Great videos, your channel is becoming an encyclopedia for martial arts, thanks a lot for sharing your journey, I really appreciate this video with Si Fu Didier Bedar, his is a knowledgeable and a humble martial artist, it is a pleasure to see you both practicing together the wooden dammy ... ... Keep doing what you do I wish you will be able to do a video with Si Fu Dan Inosanto about jeet kune do ... Be water my friend!
I love his energy and that he even cares that you did not get hurt. Some of these little out there martial arts teachers seem to like to/don't care if they hurt Jesse. Would love to learn wing chun from this person.
Thanks to you Sensei Enkamp and Sifu Beddar. Useful and practical. I'm looking for a wooden Dummy
You have great energy, Jesse! I always feel happy after watching your videos.
You're videos inspired me to pursue karate. I started training Isshin Ryu 3 years ago. Now, my age is 43. During the last 20+ years I trained different martial arts, but never karate because I perceived it as not being "realistic" enough. Your content is very thought-provoking. The fun and light-heartedness you bring to the audience is needed to keep martial arts in balance. Thank you!
I may have to see more tutorials on the wooden dummy since i struggle to understand it from just watching someone do it
Also im not sure how id apply it for the martial arts i currently 'do' (boxing punches, karate kicks, thai knees), but your vids are always fun to watch, jesse
Jesse, you have met some of the greatest martial artist on this planet, and Sifu Didier Beddar has amazing Wing Chun. His ability to generate umma is scary in an overwhelming power kind of way.
I love your MA journey, you are now the Swedish Ryu, and are on your World Warrior journey. Your journeys are legendary!
Awesome teaching. Thanks Jesse and The sifu Didier for this experience.
This channel is too good! You are a master storyteller and instead of boring theory lessons, you have your own skin in the game in these interesting situations all over the world. Super good content. Thanks Jesse!
Wow, thanks! Very kind of you 😇
Thank you SO much for including the part about why Wing Chun uses the knuckles that it does. I have seen far too many videos (elsewhere) that do not explain the why, leading many to think they can punch this way effectively to the head without hurting their hand. "Punch soft parts" should go wthout saying? No, no. NO. Definitely say that part! And you did, so bless you for that.
I never knew Wing Chun has the same leg catches that I like to use. Fascinating.
Loved using the wooden dummy. Hurt like hell when I first used it, but it was so much fun.
I realy love your video, you have so much respect for every style you unconter, i wish i may meet you one day😁, hi from belgium🇧🇪
Love the quote at the end. 👊🏻
Happy learnings! ❤
I love your videos, greetings from Norway!
I've been practicing Wing Chun for almost 5 years on and off, and almost to the wooden dummy. It's a tool to sharpen your technique, must be proficient in the first 3 forms before moving on to this. Love your content, keep that flame burning.
Didier Beddar is one of the greatest, probably the best in the world right now. It was a real privilege. Do more videos with him if you have the chance.
Good video!. One of my favorite training tools haha
You’re right it’s about the teacher. I learned very different Wing Tsun from the one shown in the video… different power source, different emphasis on moves and different application.
It's amazing seeing bits and pieces of kata I've trained, in those fast fluid movements. The close-in fighting of wing chun is fantastic, something I feel we could use a lot more of across the board, in karate. I've trained almost 4 decades and I can send in the long range cruise missiles with the best of them with fantastic range and power; but I am not great in a tight close fight. Once the distance closes I feel violated in the worst fashion. I mean, lets be real, close combat is where nearly every fight is going to end up. We should train more for those uncomfortable (to us) distances.
After Leo Tamaki, what a great surprise to watch a video with Sifu Didier Beddar 😍
He is such a complete martial artist, he even learned BJJ from some of the best jiujiteiros and teaches his students how to deal with an opponent on the ground, which is amazing in a Wing Chun class !
Thank you for the video, always a pleasure to watch 🤩
Great video.
Mr Beddar was amazing
Thank you
Another good one, thanks Jessie San! Greetings from the Wing Chun School Sifu Miladin in Munich!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and how martial arts are all connected in some ways…and to think outside of the box…
Best not to limit one self to one style, .. yet ? We need to master our own style first…
Endless learning for sure..
Awesomeness is surrounding you jesse sensei
Welcome to France! 😉
Hope you enjoyed your stay 😁
Wing Chun is a very elegant style. Very well done!
