Karate Nerd in China (Ep. 1) 🇨🇳

- Is traditional Karate just a form of ancient Kung-Fu?
Follow Jesse Enkamp (The Karate Nerd) to learn the lost history of Karate - from China to Okinawa and ultimately Tokyo Olympics in Japan.
The original name for Karate was "Tode" (唐手) which doesn't mean Empty Hand (空手) but literally translates to "Chinese Hand". That's what all the Okinawan masters called it.
In this episode Jesse discovers Ming He Neipai kata (Nipaipo, a.k.a Ershiba) at a Whooping Crane Kung Fu demonstration, and then learns kata Babulien (Papuren, a.k.a. Happoren) at the famous Crane Temple in Fuzhou from Master Yu Dan Xiu.
An interview with Hanshi Patrick McCarthy (IRKRS, Koryu Uchinadi) confirms this is what's described in Bubishi - The Bible of Karate.
Next stop is Yong Chun village - the birthplace of White Crane!

When every body debating about MMA Jesse learning history and going to roots of martial arts. respect to you Jesse the real martial artist
I now what type you are talking about .they all say things like .that would never work in mma while most do a martial art
Don't even do a martial art
UFC MMA is just as interesting as golf 😒👎
@@PpAirO5 i did'nt even mention the ufc😑
@Follow the howl MMA should be called MFS Mixed fighting styles, not martial arts.
That "White Crane" master is impressiv. So fast and fluent at this age...
Super spry and snappy at that age
As a Tai Chi Instuctor who has - at the age of 58 - started to learn Karate - I found this fascinating. Don't know why, but it felt emotional. Thank you.
Christopher Curtis Thanks, I appreciate that! 👍
@D R good tai chi instructor knows what does forms mean they are mostly grapling things you can find i tai chi you can also find in BJJ Judo Wrestelin
Never to late to learn ! Osu !
I think you should teach tai chi beacuse i wanns learn it alot
Who would dislike this vid? People that hate learning I guess🤷♂️
Haters motivate me! 😊👍
@@KARATEbyJesse So you'll produce more videos if I become a Hater? That's not a path that I wanted to take but if it motivates you... Just kidding, I enjoy your videos a lot!
Those who look for reason's to hate.
Tony Ferguson is the type of guy to teach Ancient Karate to an Elderly Chinese Man..
I can name some... Lol
Episode 1 Jesse: "Plus a weird style of kung fu called incense-shop boxing, but I didn't care about any of that."
Episode 5 Jesse: "Little did he know..."
This should be on Nat Geo or the History Channel Jesse San!!!! Can't wait for ep. 2......
tyrns out the kungfu masters look like ordinary people in china. so anyone u meet there could actually be a concealed grandmaster.
agree ....
History Channel: Karate was invented by aliens!
As a karate practitioner and of Chinese descent, this series makes me very happy. Thank you for sharing your journey !with everyone Sensei!
Years now Damm I thought China has kung fu
It's surprising how he has kept the ancient bubishi in such a good condition👌👌👌...we should learn from that 😉
I did wonder if the edging of the book was old age or the result of fire
I would go nuts If i saw that book irl, theres so much history in those pages!
It might be more elaborate than the Okinawan version??
@@kriskanapo9282 the cultural reform saw that a lot of old world stuff such as previous king fu arts and their masters were eradicated, the man here pulled it from a fire while he could
@@anferneesuellcosplay5455 fire would have made some holes, judging by his gestures, I think he just hid it under his coat as a young boy and walked away
Thanks for watching! 😄 Episode 2 is here: th-cam.com/video/QvMIZq8OiU8/w-d-xo.html 👊
I love it!!!! It is very exciting and interesting :) I am black belt karate 1 dan.
Oss 🥋
Tävlar brosan inte längre??? Kul video.
Thank you so much for this, Sensei Jesse Enkamp! May God bless you with long life and health so that you can continue your great work! 👏👍🙂🥊🥋😀
Jesse - Thanks for conducting this research! I've been studying Hakutsuru White Crane (Gokenki and Hohan Soken lineage) for about 10 years now and am looking forward to this series on White Crane Kung Fu.
This kind of "nerd" can basically beat up any bully 😂😂😂😂😂
Not necessarily so.. very closed minded of you
@@waxhead63 r/whoosh
@@guitarjay741 ????? WT
@@waxhead63 True, it depends. The bully might know some martial arts, too
@@guitarjay741 Bully could know martial arts too.
It’s fascinating how, without saying a word, you are so impeccably polite and willing to learn From everyone you meet. Even without words they know you are grateful and willing and respectful and that is true power as a person. Your skill is second to none and they appreciate you and your wisdom and willingness unfathomably. This series is incredible. As are you.
Thanks for your kind words 🙏
Jesse Enkamp always! Your students are lucky to have you.
I wish more US karate teachers would go to Asia and meet one of those old masters, just to feel the difference.
This master is like happy guy who teach his grandson
8:33 Damn, Jesse came in with a perfectly smooth punch and that old man blocked it effortlessly. His technique was so smooth with a total casual competence. I actually watched him do it three times.
That old man is a dedicated casual with very poor competence being honest
As a shotokan karate practitioner this seems very interesting for me, i can't wait for more episodes. Keep it up!
Roberts If you like Shotokan, you’ll LOVE what’s coming..... 😎😎😎
Shotokan over here!💪🏻
@@KARATEbyJesse hell yeah!
Really interesting, I have done many years of kung fu and recently started karate myself, so many of the moves are the same, just subtly different
@@UItimateGuitarCovers yeah, they are very similar!
You’re right when you mentioned you felt like you had just scratched the surface. At the 17:26 mark, Sifu himself replied to the other guy that what you worked on was the basics. What an amazing experience that must’ve been for you. Great videos!
That old man is poop at his art fyi
@@seetheanimal5867 explain
This was beyond amazing!!
You discovered the real deal disciples from the old masters!!
The fact that they considered you and your crew worthy of showing his house, that book, techniques and temple!! I'm speechless!
Nothing but absolute humbleness!
Please do continue and if you could go to the roots of kung-fu and Indian martial arts would be amazing!
14:35
OMG ... that gave me goosebumps! So true, in every aspect in life.
Peaceful greetings from PH WARRIOR (Persaudaraan Hati Warrior). Thank you very much, SENSEI Jesse Enkamp. I am a citizen of Karate Nerd. I am a karate teacher from Jakarta, INDONESIA. Thank you for the Karate Nerd Diploma. The Karate Nerd diploma has added to my confidence. Karate knowledge from you is very useful for me. I pray that you are always handsome, young, smart, strong, healthy, happy, wise, and always protected by an army of angels. I pray that the shield from the LORD will always protect you and your family. ---- © Blacktator.
I'm not really sure what to say.This is quite amazing. As a practioner of Goju Ryu, it's special to see the early techniques that grew into what we practice today. Xie Xie Ni.
The best karate practicioner and youtuber is back with an amazing series, let the show begin
Harrison_Lander15 Thanks for supporting my work! 🙌
@@KARATEbyJesse no problem i always will 🙏
Honestly when I first started watching these videos I was really skeptical of karate I've trained boxing my whole life and was a little jaded on karate mainly because the point style competitions but you've opened my eyes to how amazing karate can be thank you
That was SO GOOD, I’m from a TKD background and i think its very interesting how you can see the similarities to karate and then Gung fu
Jesse is the MAN!He's the first to undertake such a great mission and the first to present his findings and discoveries to every Karate practitioner on the planet for free.That is called enthusiasm and true love for Karate
Thanks for your kind words! Much more to come 😄👍
That was amazing. I love how you give credit to china as the sources karate and how respectful that old kung fu master.
OMG! I can’t believe it’s finally happened!
🤩
🤩
🤩
snake79545 It’s a martial art for everyone.
I learnt the Yong Chun White Crane and its sparring set decades ago. It was so practical and you can immediately use it. A lot of the TMC have lots in common and adds to what i practise everyday now. To this day, i really appreciate all forms of martial arts and so glad that you are promoting this. Keep up the amazing work Jesse.
La historia en movimiento. Es casi el trabajo de un arqueologo, un linguista, un traductor, un historiador, un sociologo y mucho mas. Impresionante... Se me pone la piel de gallina. Arigato gozaimashita!!!
Wow! That was amazing. Can’t wait for next episode.
Yes finally...!!
Been waiting for this counting 24 hours after seeing ur post🥋 oss! Karate for World
Thank you for all you do Jesse. Thanks for always sharing. I am looking foward to the rest of the series.
I’m from China and also practice Karate. Thank you for combining two things that rooted deep in my heart so perfectly. And it’s so amazing to watch every single video that made by you always with such open mind and heart.
I love his enthusiasm to share his decades of knowledge with you! He looks so genuinely excited and happy to do it.
This has quickly become my favorite channel on youtube :)
Thanks!
This sounds like an amazing journey! I'm happy you did this and thankfull that you share this with us.
I've been slacking in by backlogged videos. Amazing stuff. Can't wait to see the next one! Thank you for these experiences.
Wow if episode 1 was this great I feel I may binge the rest on this day off from work. One thing I have noticed when Enkamp Sensei was at the White Crane Temple was the breathing techniques being taught to him as well as the tightening of the core muscles, legs and arms I immediately saw the Goju Ryu Sanchin Kata 🤯. Thank you for all of your travels and time put in to making these videos.
When you finally see the legendary Wu Bei Zhi in front of you... beyond words
It was surreal!! 😱
but, somehow something weird from the book
it's wrote on simplified chinese
@@XianWangTheo Yes, I spot that as well. It should be a copy from the origin since there are a mix of simplified and tradition Chinese in some pages
@@XianWangTheo Many simplifications in modern simplified Chinese are based on cursive forms or informal simplifications that have been in use for centuries. Since martial arts were considered 'low culture' in late imperial China, it makes sense that the authors of the wubeizhi used informal simplified characters.
Thank you Jesse. I loved your Okinawa series very much, but this is on a whole different level. I'm really looking forward to the next episodes.
Absolutely amazing, thank you for bringing this to us!
These series make me feel like a 3 year old because I'm so excited to watch them.👍😅
Ah finally , Waited 4 month for this series
Your love and passion for Karate is contageous. Now I can't wait for the next episode! 😃🥋
Absolutely fabulous to see this. Thank you Jesse. Such a great accolade to viewing this in screen rather than reading. I look forward to then next in the series. Keep up your fabulous work. Hope to see you soon.
I've been waiting for this!
As a chinese martial arts lover and practicioner, I can say... what a wonderful, deep and emotional content!
Keep learning, enjoying and living this experience. Thanks for sharing with us! Cheers, Jesse! 🙏🏻
That's amazing!
It's true when people say Uechi-Ryu is closer to white crane than Goju-Ryu is.
The rythm of kata is very similar
Thank you - super interesting. Can’t wait to see the rest of the episodes!
Man i love this! Hard to find good traditional martial arts content on youtube these days. This is the kind of docu i was looking for 15 or 20 years ago. Great stuff!
Beautiful. I love seeing the stark differences and similarities of the styles.
Dude I just discovered this channel!!
This is beyond gold!!
I'm gonna get addicted 😀
Thanks and welcome! 😄
Thank you for an amazing series on the origins of this art we love called karate. Your hard work in making this episode is very clear in every second of the episode. I can't wait for more.
I've been eagerly waiting for this. The video is great! I can't wait for part 2. Well done man.
Love your videos! Wish you the best luck when travelling and upcoming tournaments!
Thanks buddy!
Respect to Jesse and Chadi
These people are diving deep down to the histories of martial arts
Chadi for Judo and Grappling and Jesse for Karate
Amazing for you to take up this adventure, cant wait for the next episode
this was brilliant! thank you for taking us with you on your way!
Truly movie quality production! I loved seeing the movements performed and realizing how similar they are to so many movements out of the Pinan and other katas.
I am so so happy with the episode.
First I knew there is going to be food.
Second, I hope there is going to be an explanation for the simplistic movement that we have in Karate by comparison to the origin.
absolutely amazing can’t wait to watch the series thank you so much Jesse san 🙏🙏🙇♂️
Supper good :) the story and pace really interesting to watch. thank you Jesse for your time for made it. Keep the great work.
Respect and admiration for Master Yu, such a humble and happy grampa. I've loved to see him in his prime winning competitions.
Fantastic Jesse. This is a dawn of a new empire, ”The Karate Nerd Empire”.
This was beautiful, thanks for sharing the awesome research project. I can't wait to see the next episode!
Can't wait for the next episode. I didn't expect to be so fascinated by the cultural journey.
I didn’t realise that the video has ended,so exciting and interseting
I was missing this.... Amazing work Jesse. I hope meet you one day.
Absolutely awesome, can't wait until next week😊
Jesse, thank you for sharing your karate learning journey with us! I can't wait for the second episode
Thanks! Stay tuned 😄
Why do i feel like they are communicating using martial art movements even though sensei jesse don't know how to speak Chinese i think they can understand each other. Its like the martial arts are there language 😲 it really amazes me how they communicate while practicing 👏👏👏
I miss this kind of videos 😭
It is always beautiful to see how different culture met and share, and happy together. This is what martial art brings
Thank you, i love your videos. Please, don't stop doing them.
This is EPIC! Thank you so much for share with us, and thanks for the spanish subtitles! Blessings, from Argentina, Sensei Jesse.
Regarding the last ‘White Crain’ technique, at the Temple, it reminded me of an Isshin Ryu Kata known as Sanchin. This was a required Kata for Shodan rank. Very taxing, when performed correctly. Great video, thank you.
They seem to have a great respect for you and really like you when you say you practice Karate! Really love this! Even if you don't speak his language, He seems very happy to teach you!
i'm so happy i've found your channel! it's helping me to reconnect to a childhood joy. thank you for your work!
Just pure awesomeness!! Thank you for sharing this Sensei!! Looking forward to more videos! 🥋
Truly amazing this piece of martial arts history and where it's roots comes from too. Thank you jessie 🙂
This is going to be an incredible series! I love Karate, but mainly practice a hybrid system of American Kenpo and Shaolin Kempo-- the third most influential system incorporated into my training is White Crane (Ancestral and Feeding). I've been incredibly excited since the announcement of this series, this is going to be a fantastic ride.
what is kempo?
I love your enthusiasm Jesse, and thanks for sharing this fascinating adventure of the roots of karate with us.
as a kung fu practitioner i am very excited by this series, this first episode was completely stunning, thank you for your work Jesse!
3:30. Hello everybody. And welcome back to Top 10 Trends.
Great video btw Jesse. Enjoyed this history of karate.
Nice. Interesting factoid: Yong Chun is the Mandarin pronunciation of 詠春 (Wing Chun), which is also an art descended from a Crane style blended with a snake style. You can see the similarities in the Wing Chun movements and forms.
(we also have a tale about our art being invented by a woman. Ng Mui, of the Southern Shaolin temple, who was rumored to have hid at a White Crane temple. Perhaps even the very one you visited.)
Good luck with your exploration, and best wishes from the Gung Fu community!
新年快樂!
I noticed those similarities to wc as well. 👍
"Chun" can mean 'spring' or 'village'. In this case, it's probably village. So, it's not WC. WC means 'eternal spring'.
@@buyungadil1 I've heard it could mean "secret oral tradition" as well from a video years ago. But yes the standard translation is "eternal spring". I wouldn't know personally.
@@buyungadil1 oh! I think I misunderstood your point. My bad.
If I am not wrong, the crane style invented by madam Fang Qi Liang in Yong Chun, at a much earlier date than Ng Mui. Wing Chun on the other hand was invented by Ng Mui's lady disciple called Yen Wing Chun. Ng Mui was a nun with the Southern Shaolin temple. Both forms are related, indirectly but not directly.
My two cents opinion. Cheers
I have not been glued to a TH-cam video this intently for years. Thank you and looking forward to the next installment.
Music to my ears 😄👍
Fascinating insight Jesse, thank you for sharing and cant wait to see Episode 2.
Amazing content. I started my karate journey, only 1 month ago, at age 41. Love to see how deep this rabbit hole goes.
I did the same...
I study tang soo do Korean karate
At 40 I started a month ago and love it so far and Jesse videos encouraged me to go for it. He's awesome
this is amazing
Fun, relaxed and educational... amazing video! Locking forward to more episodes :)
This channel keeps me very inspired towards karate. Love learning with you, keep it up!
last time i was this early he hadn’t posted yet
thatnsome good knowledge of the roots of karate :D
So cool!!! Can't wait to see how the rest of your journey unfolds!!!
Great video, sir. I look forward to the rest of the series!
Wow. This reminds me so much of when I was learning Tai Chi for self defence. I found the thought mentality behind Karate and Tai Chi to be almost polar opposites but weirdly similar. Plus my legs were killing me after each session with me thinking I hadn’t done enough to warrant then tiredness.
wow Jesse San excelnt research... hope we can see on this journey the feeding crane from taiwan.
@Jesse Enkamp thank you for sharing this experience with us fellow karateka. You channel is the best karate channel in my opinion. Thank you for teaching us so much, and for helping me keep my Karate spirit alive! 🙏🏻🥋
I absolutely loved this video and I can't wait for the next episode!
I hope the master doesn’t get run down by the CCP after finding out he saved a book they tried to burn. 😬
