Wow so much information thank you
Jesse this is awsome i am really struggling with getting a training partner and i have been in need of something like this for a year and a half, but im glad this came when it did
You are an excellent teacher. Also, these are excellent exercises.
Oss i like your channel because i like the karate ....
Growing up in Thai boxing and judo I have never really took karate seriously because of so many impostors, but this channel right there reintroduce the real karate!
Among us!
Love this concept! Very useful; thank you!
So glad you taught that tree a lesson there at the end. Especially in Sweden they think they own the place
The tree had it coming! It was looking at me funny 😎
I am Groot
Omg 😂
Some trees gonna get their asses whooped.
Both my kids train Shotokan, but i always tended to pivot towards more "practical" arts (boxing, thai boxing). I've been searching for good channels on YT for my children to learn and i got hooked up by Your charisma and knowledge. Now, whenever i watch my kids doing kata i instantly imagine bunkai applications for them. I'm starting my adventure with karate in september... Thanks Jesse.
Jesse, you have just taken my training alone to a whole new level in 11mins!!! thanks
One of the most valuable videos about karate practicing, no matter of school at all. and not only about karate actually. it looks so simple but so natural. also, the translation of "blocks" - changes everything in mind. Thank you!
Sensei Jesse:"The first thing you want to do is get familiar with the belt."
Me: Trust me I am. (flashbacks to my childhood)
That belt round the bag is simultaneously simple and genius. Wing chun wooden dummy meets heavy bag.
You literally have revolutionized the method of the teaching of karate, Sensei. I hope my karate school's National Black Belt Board members see your channel and videos as their teaching references because, tbh, their teaching methods are getting outdated. Osu, Enkamp-Sensei, from Jakarta, Indonesia.
NB: I would probably use a tree trunk near my house since I have no punchbags 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I agree!
They probably wont change especially if they are older. The growth and change has to come from you. Lead the way. Good luck
I've been wanting to make an articulated training dummy. Still working out design. So far prototyping with pvc piping as "bone" and then using rope as connectors trying to copy the range of motion of a limb. Work in progress.
Good luck! 👍
Thanks again Jesse! You're great.
@@EneSacarification The purpose of doing the standard kata is to learn the proper sequence of moves. After you have that, you can practice adjusting the move to deal with different scenarios. But that can only be done after you have committed the moves to muscle memory so you don't screw up the order of the moves. So you need to first practice the standard kata until you do the proper sequence automatically.
Use 'rebar' (the iron rods you put into concrete) instead. It will give the weight missing from the cloth wrapping. Just drop them in your barbaecue and temper them in water for rigidity. Do it one time only for best possible hardening.
Or use timber framing wood. Just 'shave' the sharp edge to shape the limbs. In doubt, always pick the thicker pieces of wood.
Make the joints with wood. Some oversized unbreakable, some breakable with a green branch or a thin piece of dry wood placed after the joint 'stop'. Will give a feel of pushing-pulling past the joint lock and even some idea of keeping cool and flow AFTER a joint break (something very disturbing when done to a living creature). Help with keeping focus and awareness.
If you use pipes (plastic or metal like plumbers used) you can connect from the inside with a thick rope wrapped in trex tape/denim for protection. Use big springs for joints. Not joint lock with pipes and springs.
Last thing. Always have the body of the dummy not rigidly connected to the ground. Or the vibrations plus the 'strength' of the dummy will hurt you quickly or viciously in the long run.
Health, Happiness and Honor.
As pretty much all Kung Fu techniques found in the forms are based around trapping, the wooden dummy for me is ideal for training the applictions of the forms
Personally I prefer something less rigid than a wooden dummy. But it’s better than thin air! 👍
@@KARATEbyJesse yes sometimes, throwing techniques are a bit hard to train on the wooden dummy hahahha
@@KARATEbyJesse otherwise known as Muk Yan Jong sometimes called Mok Yan Chong (except that this form has 116 techniques) 👊😊
@Im wearing tights that I borrowed from your mum. We must all bow down to accept your dominance
Hello Jesse, Thank you for the interesting video. Is there a specific kata that illustrates these techniques to refer to? (I imagine they may be in many)
This video is going in my saved playlist. I'm going to go through the whole Sepai kata and apply the techniques with this training method. I better get out my pad and pen here lol...
Nice! Seipai is one of my favorite kata for bunkai exploration. 👍 Keep us posted!
I'm doing the same thing, this is so awesome.
I don’t really practice karate but I can see this being a great exercise for xing yi quan kung fu
Xing yi is a limited style meant for close distance burst attacks. Almost no sense of defense. Karate is more complete than Xing Yi
Same, as a Chen taiji practitioner.
@Hrach thanks for mentioning taikyoku. That's interesting! I'll have to look into that. I've heard of taikiken before (coming from yiquan), and the influence of yiquan on kyokushin, but not taikyoku before.
This is awesome! This should be among the basic exercises.
Basics is what think it is . Karate should be practiced and taught to different people in different as we are each unique. And the karate should only be a framework to our body and technique and not containment to our body
When our teacher came back from Okinawa this is what we did a lot. Without the dummy, but always leaving the center line :) The fun part is also the sequence flowing back into itself. Good stuff! Love this channel.
This is an old Filipino method. There are three way to use rope or belt. Nice to see how this kind of solo training is apply with karate do. Great video and tips. Regards
❤💛❤💛❤ Loved this!! Thank you, Jesse-San, for adding so much value to the world of Martial Arts. What would we do without you?!
I had been practicing bunkai's of all katas i learned, on a tree right infront of my home, using this method!. A little freakshow for the people passing by(certainly unintended though!😅). This way of practicing techniques greatly increased my confidence in katas. Infact i developed a habit of exploring kata bunkai on my own using this method ( because of no risk of injuring my buddies! ). But since its a tree i have to compress the movements to the point where it might look like i am pushing the tree with my knuckles/elbows/forearms!. I also visualise my footwork and stance in a way like the tree is an actual person and i am tripping it by falling into a stance behind it and pulling/pushing it. Its certainly a fun way of practicing the bunkai and its easy to get carried away by it!.
Spoken like a true Karate Nerd! 👊🥋👍
@@KARATEbyJesse thank you sensei🙏
Oss
I love this segment. It's almost like using the belt as a rattan ring or wooden dummy. Genius. Thanks again.
Magnificent again. I finished my Makiwara a few days ago. Now I know what's missing. The best method for these lonely days. Thanks a lot! And stay healthy!
Jesse, you are a real innovator. As my martial arts instructor always said, use what you have at that moment.
You are the man who finally made me respect karate. I am grateful to you for that.
Thank you! Now as I come across bunkai in books and videos I have a way to practice them. Invaluable video!
Awesome clip. I love how you take it from the basic techniques to the sequence and then inspire to create new sequences. Great instructions!
Wow I have been studying Shotokan since college and this video switched a light bulb on for me! Thanks and respect to you Sensei!
This has been so helpful! I've been away from a dojo for a long time, and this has given me a chance to practice real-life application.
I absolutely love your discussions on the application of Kata.
Those are such great tips for training alone! Thank you for your work ! It has been very important!
Jesse, love your stuff.
Concerning the actual meaning of "Uke(ru)". In translating historical European manuals, specifically Fiore dei Liberi from 1409 (grappling and dagger section), we tend to also refer to parries as "block" or "grab". However, the word in the manual "Présa", actually has a slightly different meaning, in the same way as Uke does. The translation should be; "a taking, a receiving, a snatching".
Seems we have run into the exact same issue, in a roundabout way. 😏
Wow! very interesting indeed! Love the outside the box thinking here!
The world is round, don’t be trapped in a square! 🌏
Jesse Enkamp 😊👊🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
This is absolutely great! more of this please Sensei. I will be exploring this on my own. Domo Arigato Gozaimasu!
Good morning Master! (Here in Brazil It is still morning!) Really bunkai is fundamental and particularly one of the training I love the most! When I do a kata I do it by completely imagining myself in combat! I do running the bunkai in thought! Thank you so much for the guidance, in fact you can use your creativity and develop a very useful training!
Oss! 🥋🥰
I literally trained in KuKiKwon Tae Kwon Do for 6 years when I was younger where there are many similar movements to Karate and never once had anyone express the idea of a high block (like shown in the beginning of this video) as an attack with one arm pulling/or blocking an attack with the lower arm while striking the neck with the forearm. Opening sequence just blew my mind! And the tactile sensitivity he discusses is something also seen in Ving Tsun (Wing Chun) as part of an exercise called Chi Sao (sticky hands). This is a great video
Same
You have explained quiet well. Wonderful!!! Thank you so much for sharing this valuable lesson .
Been using this idea with a tree for mantis boxing for several months now. Been a really useful tool during the pandemic
Me encantó!!!
Excelente trabajo.
Muchas gracias por compartir éste material con todos nosotros!!
Saludos
Really well done ... and it shows very well, how techniques and kata may have been developed in the past, based on different ideas on how to react in certain self-defense situations. Very good input, thank you :)
I just came accross your channel two weeks ago and I find your videos so interesting!. Thaks for your effort to expand karate knowlegde through TH-cam! It is such a easy and effective way to learn! congratulations and greetins from Valencia (Spain)!
Thank you man, its been a trouble to practice without a partner, and the sequences are awesome!
*Very instructive!* Enjoy a graceful weekend dearest Sensei 🙌
The node...True easy way of applied kata as one progresses
Awesome bunkai techniques! 👍😀 I especially liked how you made them flow together. I will be practicing this, thank you!
Awesome awesome. I owe you a lot for all these free training. Thanks a lot. Love from India
Jesse, you reinvented the Wing-Chun dummy for karate which takes my training alone to new level. Thank you very much
Thank you giving the basics a new perspective !! Well done.
Excellent explanation! Great! Thank you, Jesse
I have wondered about this for so long! Thank you for posting this. I will definitely be using this training method and flow drill with my students! JB
Really good video. I learned a lot. I will try this but the only problem is that I don't have a heavy bag. I think I have the brick and wood columns to my house. So this might be a little uncomfortable. Also, what you said to blocks is so true. When I asked my first Shihan what the shuto uke was used for, he told me that when I get advanced, a punch can be used as a block and a block can be used as a strike. Thank you!
Your Shihan sounds like a great sensei! You can use anything as an attachment point. Wood is especially useful for arm conditioning! 💪
Interesting and useful classes about solo training. Arigato Jessesan.
Like always very detail n beautiful work!!!
You realy have many good videos. Thankyou for all of them.
When it click, it really clicked! I had an easier time switching out the kick with a knee because of how tall I am but I am definitely going to practice both. This really showed me that knowing the motions and understanding the motions are incredibly different
I love the idea ❤. its a good way to practice application especially when you are training alone in your house . Good Job Sensei Jess 😊👍you created another Great Video. Love It ☺❤👌
This is amazing Jesse-san, & exactly what, I was looking to do with my new wavemaster bag. Thank you so much!
Wow, so practical and cool practice for bunkai. Looks a bit like win chun dummy practice.I’m gonna try this. Tqvm
This might be the most useful Karate video I've ever watched. Thank you!
Great to hear!! 😄
This belt idea reminds me a lot of the wooden dummy, but maybe even more useful in it's own ways.. I want to try this
Pretty useful and it makes sense. Thank you again!
Very nicely done video, thank you!
So practical and a good idea. Never would have thought of it. I wonder what other techniques you can incorporate into it. I'm going to play around with it see what I can come up with.
Ok. So basically what you did was treat kata like shadowboxing and this is the bagwork counterpart. Thats slick. I'm definitely gonna use this. Thanks man👍
There could be no greater time than now for you to release this video 👍🏿.
Necessity is the mother of all invention great training idea we need more during lockdown.
Jesse👑you're Genius for this simple yet effective training tool. ✨👍
Nice one, Jesse! Thank you for giving me another picture of training method during this isolation! Osu
thanks jesse , you are awsome ... wish there more like you out there .
Wowwww...! This's so brilliant!
Cmiiw, this looks so familiar with wingchun flow. ❤
I really like that idea and that's exactly what I was missing! I'm gonna practice it tomorrow. Thank you sensei Jesse! :-)
Awesome information, it is just I was looking for to practise alone, thanks a lot
Great video in 2 respects: 1. Using the blocks offensively; and 2. Showing the similarities in the “Wooden dummy” and Karate applications. I can’t wait to try this. You have redeemed yourself from not learning to wrist roll the nun chucka (haha). You keep Karate interesting to me. Thanks
This awesome!! I'm totally trying these! Thank you Sensei!
Pretty helpful . I will practse it . I used to do similar things in Judo.. I got the right gear for this exercise. Belts ,rubber tubes .thanks anyway.
Fantastic video. These are the exact drills we have been doing throughout lockdown. We do MMA but for street application. My instructor teaches techniques from many styles from around the world. But we have been doing lots of Karate Jutsu for the past few months. And I have been shocked at the difference from Karate do. Thank you again for the video!
Glad it was helpful!
Such a creative mind...thank you so much for sharing this information sensei 🥰 ...it's like replacing the wooden dummy used in wing chun practice 😊
I've been doing it but with my improvised grappling dummy (old hoodie filled with clothes/blankets) Great way to practice arm drags as well 👍
Thank you so much for the video 😊
Awesome... I will Add to My practice. Thanks.
Awesome ‼️
Thank you very much.
Thx Jesse, just figured something about hikite. Thx U so much.
Hmm, Ah, I love this training method a lot. Thank you very much for sharing this with me and I will plan on incorporating this idea to my students solo training. 💓👍
Great video! The bunkai exercises with the partner and your comment that there are transitions between the movements reminded me of another youtube video called "Miko Kung Fu - Center line possible uses"
Awesome 👍 content. Can't wait for future videos, thanks again
really cool Idea and great exercises. thank you
Nice video and thanks for sharing nice methods for practice.
All my years of training I’ve never thought of that that is a very good idea for training Jessie👍
There’s always something new to learn! 😃
Thanks Jesse this'll help me a lot 💪🏼💪🏼💯💯
A great idea and approach Sensei! A new perspective registered in my brain. Keep it up Sensei
Makes me happy to hear! Keep learning 👍
This is absolutely awesome! Thankyou Jesse 🙏
My pleasure!
Oh, that's why the block is forward. I wonder why the kata was not formed near the actual bunkai. Thanks. Learned a lot. Startin to be inspired to start again.
Good job! Very interesting application.
Jesse, this is a great solution for bunkai practice. Thanks from Argentina.
Muchas gracias
Sneaked in a "birthplace of karate". ✊️
You make me want to practice kata again 🙏🏻
Keep it up with the great videos #karatenerd
This has really helped me. Thank you!🥋😀👍
Thank you very much jesse.... greetings from cali colombia.
Great video as always! I liked it a lot!
What a beautiful video, man! You're getting even better in this. My sensei is training Nijushiho (don't know if this is the correct word) and I'm using your videos to help him prepare to his exam. Thank you Jesse
Thanks a lot! Great to hear 🌟
I train Shotokan online. This definitely helps me practice techniques by myself!
so, so usefull. Thank you so much!!
Wow! Great training method. I have a white belt and a heavy bag that better watch out! Loved the body hardening on the tree at the end. I've read of Okinawans using palm trees as makiwara. I tried it once in Oki and nearly broke my hand. Think I'll stick to the heavy bag for now. Awesome videos!
I like the idea, it's the best way to train in quarantine:)
