Jesse, I am watching your videos almost everyday. You do a great job man! Oss!
...especially for okinawan Karate - there is NO age limitation.
Thanks for the encouragement Sensei. I started my karate at the age of 30. I am 32 now. From Kerala, India. I am a big fan of yours. Keep up the good work. God bless you
Honestly Jesse sensi , if you do a "year in the life of Karate Nerd" I will happily watch it again and again and again....it's so fun....I wish when I grow up, I live a life like that....
Kumbanua Sensei Enkamp! I have been watching your videos every day... obsessed i know. Remembering my past... I love your videos.
I started Aikido, when i was 19, started Karate when i was 40 and started with Bo-Jutsu and Combat Arnis when i was 41. I am 42 now and was it the right time? yes of course, it was and it is right now! One of my (female-)teachers is 55 and started at the age of 39 and has two kids. So, NO it is never too late! Just enjoy yourself :-)
27:18 Jesse: Get a gun.
Sensei Asano said something very similar in his keynote to a seminar I attended in 1994.
"If victory in battle is your only goal in studying Shotokan, save yourself a lot of pain and sweat and go and buy a shotgun. This will guarantee victory over almost any opponent"
She does such a FANTASTIC job operating that camera 👍🏾.
"It's not about making a living, but about making a life"
Great quote and great channel.
You have really helped me change my opinion on Karate, now I realize what a complete and complex knowledge it is, after following your channel since some months ago and watching a lot of your videos.
Keep the great and passionate work going!
Greetings from a Choy Lee Fut Kung Fu practicioner, from Valparaíso, Chile! 🙏🏻
"It's not about making a living, it's about making a LIFE." --- (Jesse Enkamp) ….. great quote, inspirational.
Never practised any martial arts in my life. Started last year in the autumn. I am 51 years today. And I love it!
Please do a day of eating of a professional karate nerd
(would also be the perfect way to showcase your cooking skills👌)
Nutrition and diet is critical. Good video idea!
@@KARATEbyJesse an a article you said dont limit your to a style because its one piece of a cake. I study kyokushin karate is it two slices since shotokan and goju ryu
@@KARATEbyJesse especially Finnish and Swedish foods.
Hi Jesse San, just wanted to tell you something. Since becoming a Karate Nerd I have gone training properly. I did start again at white belt doing Shotokan but sadly after a few months two things happend I got bored of doing age uke gyaku zuki for hour after hour it just wasnt doing it for me. Then more importantly my knees started to play up big time. I needed to go back to a more upright style so I have gone back to Tang Soo do and loving it again so thank you.
Secondly you were the first you tuber I followed and I have loved everything you have done. Having enjoyed your work I started watching others and literally just this moment I have realised why I have enjoyed your videos and have become weary of most of the others. Simply put (I know long winded and ironically) You are a class above. You never denigrate or ridicule or slate other people or styles. Your videos are informative fun, they push boundaries in a respectful way and you are not up yourself..... Anyway enough smoke blowing I am just going to do some exercise and hyungs or kata. Funny thing I can do Japanese commands totally lost with Korean lol. Thsnks again : )
Hah that’s awesome! 👍 Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! 🙏🌟👊
Virtual world is full of good and bad, you are part of the good. But as good as you are Jesse,and I think you are, nothing beats getting your Gi or dobuk on and having a good hard sweaty work out. Even at 52 in fact I am enjoying it and am fitter at 52 than I was at 32..... mind you I was really unfit lol. Have a great day.
Well said!
Much RESPECT.
Both You !
"I want to protect the people behind me or inside me!" - Jesse Enkamp
I laughed so hard at "it's so white it thinks it has privileges" ahahahahahahahha!!!
That question about the woman taking up karate at 30, I know that feeling. I took up karate at 32 (mostly to support my young son). I'm 44 this year and I'm shodan, but besides that I've found inner peace for the first time in my life. It made appreciate the life I have and the people around me. #nevertooold
Wonderful! Keep it up and thanks for chiming in 🌟
I took up karate at 38 and I’m only just 40 now, I use it for health more than anything
It doesn’t matter what age you are as long as you love what you do and makes you happy 👍🏻
Man, I wish I could work with you one day. You have such amazing energy... teaching these kids these things. Sounds like the perfect life! This week in the life has inspired me. I know it's going to be my life one day! Then I'm calling you up !!
I know this video is from four years ago, Jesse, but I am just now getting started in martial arts. I am 55. I have been in class for two weeks, my body yells and screams at me, but I love it! Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
I started learning karate at 10 years old. My first time in a Dojo... I hit the body bag hard.. oh now Class started.. time to line up. I was a white belt then.. so I stood in the back... way way back. Oh double punch... here comes sensei Woods. He was a 5th dan then. Oh the memories.. I miss this days
In Sweden you get to enjoy spring.... in India after winter it's summer....40 degrees in the day time....so hot..
Crazy 😳😳😳
Started karate at 45. First dan by 47. Its never too late. Move better, feel better, look better, am better!
"The Art of War" should be a MUST READ for everyone.
Loved your take on self defense! so true
Jesse-San! Love seeing how you are living your dream while sharing your rich knowledge and expertise with us. Really hoping to attend a KNX one day. 🙏🥋
Ur such a humble and great person, sensei!👍🏻🥋
I can see a beautiful friendship, just love and how you delivered your friendship is impressive! The great ending!
I'm a huge fan and this is a great boost considering I have a tournament tomorrow and haven't been able to concentrate on anything, this video was uploaded at such a great time Jesse! Thanks and wish me luck !!
Awesome! Try the breathing exercise demonstrated in the video to calm your nerves. Good luck! 🌟
@@KARATEbyJesse Thanks a ton !!
Must have watched it about 4 times over. Your channel is my new favourite martial arts channel. Great tips..thankyou.
Thanks and welcome!!
Yes, what you are saying about not getting into fights is right on. I actually self-train and have learned different styles and know how to deliver an effective punch. One day a relative of mine intentionally ruined my favorite shirt that hung in my cabinet. When I saw it I got so angry that I punched the door in my room and to my surprise. I punched a hole on the door like it was hit with a sledge hammer. I didn't know that I could do that, and all the more. I didn't fight my relative for fear of the damage I could do to him. I was gentle as a dove and didn't even bring it up and just let it pass and forgave him. Now I have so many shirts from all over the world every kind of shirt I wanted I have. Imagine the kind of trouble that could have happened, if I got into a fight with him? One of us could have ended in the hospital or in the grave. Self-control is very very important, unless life is threatened we should not apply what we know the most lethal weapons that we have is in our hearts in our mind, and soul that can not be destroyed. Shalom my friend, I'm a fan and enjoyed watching your videos, your awesome! Keep up the good work my friend. . .
Honestly can you please just vlog like once a week or something. These are my favourite videos of your lol i can never get enough of them
Hi Jesse, one of your followers commented, is 30 too late to start, as you said its never too late. Karate gives you full body toning and strength. I started at varsity 30 years ago, stopped and started 3 times since then, now I started again at 48 years of age together with my son of 16. It is great now I won't stop again. Thanks for the videos they are great and informative keep them coming
Wow! Jesse great video. What to say about your video it's totally awesome,fantastic, fabulous etc. U are the one "modern sensei" and in future no one is like u. 😀🤗🤗🤗😘😘😍
This is the best Vlog I have ever seen.... Also my favourite👌
Got to learn so so sooooo much, and at the same time, it was damn entertaining.... Just Loved the video♥️
And as I always say, you are one of my greatest inspirations🙌
Much respect for you Sensei Jesse
Loved your answer Jesse san on what type of training. Be a generalist. YES! Traditionally in old Okinawan karate they did weights and conditioning (Hojo Undo) as well as Kobudo and the usual karate training. They didn't of course do much kata(or sparring ) but did do a lot of 2 person drills built on kata knowledge. For us? I agree with you. Cardio. Resistance. Kata. Combinations. Grappling. Striking. Kicking. Weapons.Sparring.(Keeping it real). ALL of it. That way we grow our understanding of the art and advance it as an art. To make it better - Just be better :) Many thanks for your ongoing and stellar work Jesse. Much appreciated.
QUEEN is the best! Listen to your friend! He's a smart man.
Enkamp Sensei, I saw this video at exactly the right time. “Without humility, there can be no learning” is a thought I have to take in with me to my coaching tomorrow.
Jesse, your passion is infectious. For a long time I swapped karate for boxing and kickboxing, but because of your videos and passion for the art, it has inspired me to return to traditional karate. I've been going back for a week and it's really reignited a fire for karate in me. Thank you.
Dude that’s awesome! Makes me happy to hear. Keep training hard & smart! 👏🥋💪
@@KARATEbyJesse Thank you for the encouraging words. I decided to change my life this year and karate is a big step. I went from 240 lbs in January to about 215 lbs as of this morning. I still have a ways to go, but when I hit my goal weight/size I'm purchasing one of your gi as a reward to myself. 👍👍
I am """"Not"""" A Hater I've been Following you for almost 1 &1/2Year
I feel this pressure from other people of having to make karate a career somehow. I honestly just wanna do karate for myself and no-one else because I enjoy the training.
So I agree with what you say, I don't wanna do it for a living, but to live.
The secret ? Karaté is personnel Developpement ! Passion in center, and made everything with passion ! A fantastic course for win all that you want !
These vlogs are actually more interesting than few movies!!!
I like how you think my brother great video! Very informative and entertaining.
I actually enjoy the longer training videos, I’ve learnt so much by studying the way you perform your kata, thanks Jesse ❤️
Hey Jesse! Marvelous videos! Can you do a video on karate stances from each style and why?
"i actually have an upcoming national championship"
The way he said that was amazing
The Q&A section was my favourite. You are have a great outlook Jesse 👍🏻
You must be an awesome lady! You raised an awesome son! Thank you. May God bless you on your birthday.
Sensei I Am the biggest fan of your can you please can you make video of all belts in karate plz plz 😅😅😅😬😬
Hey Jes, can u make a video about kyokushin?
Awesome work jesse . i do love the way you keep and karate in a traditional way with a new approach and that it is what lots of people need because lots of dojos today's day are missing that ,or not want to do so and that make me sad wen i see that happening thanks to talk and show traditional karate with modern application and keeping the tradition a life
Awesome, I enjoyed watching
I just got my first purple belt in shotokan I'm in the ACKU 🥋☺
Great video! 👍👍👍
It would be very interesting to see a full day of training especially the supporting side (Hojo Undo) and the Solo side
34:26 I would've done thesame thing. Martial art is so usefull, not just the physical but for mental, confidence, spiritual
Thank you so much for your channel and then way it's run . As a practioner of an art you give great avice all across the spectrum . Thank you 😁
Co-signed! ;-)
Sensei, ur the best!👍🏻 And awesome home btw!
what a majestic place you live in...
Did anyone else think he was going to propose to Louise when he had the camera on her? Was it just me? 😅
Thanks for sharing kids are important they are are future your Dojo is 綺麗な
Jesse I teach kids that can’t afford lessons it makes me feel awesome
Plants, in their roots, perform O to Co2 respiration just like we do in our lungs. In fact they do it more so than CO2 to O respiration. Also known as the Dark Reaction (because it doesn't need sunlight)
Wow, a new video. Thanks a lot, Sensei Jesse. Love your video as always 😊
Awesome! My pleasure, hope you like it 👍
These videos I like the most Jesse, you're such an awesome human being! I'm so grateful that I have found you 🙏🏼 Thank God for RUclips 😁
You’re too kind! Thanks for continuing to support my work! 👍
I love how he's like "have you guys ever thought of this" and then hits us with the most absolutely basic piece of earth-woo that ever gets uttered by anyone 😂
Dude, I am much more of a wrestling, boxing, sort of martial artist...but I fell in love with your content...props...going back through your older vids is awesome(found you through Sensai Seth and Hardtohurt), but thanks...you are giving legitimacy to something I believed in as a kid, and fell out off as I grew up....you, Sensai Seth, Wonder Boy, and your Brother, Making Karate cool again! Good Show my nordic friend!
I'm 31 and began karate for the second time in my life, Hope i'll get soon good but it doesn't affraid me that im already above 30 ! The best moment to learn IS when you want it to be!
This is great
Thanks a lot, I appreciate it
Sensei all the best u do great stuff may i suggest u a serial either wise advice from karate mum and karate nerd . All the best.
I started karate when I was seven years
4:20 Oliver talking about physiology - WOW!
Eso es cierto tiene sentido estamos conectado con la naturaleza si hacemos bien con ella nos la devuelve
I notices that you upgraded your car to a Lexus from a Toyota
Keep up the great work oi
Well spotted! 👍 Mom drives the Toyota 😜
Well, they're technically the same company. Upgraded is not always "upgraded" either. Luxury cars just have many extra features that essentially serve to scam the owner of the vehicle when it comes to service at the dealership. That means spending extra money that was unnecessary to begin with. So is it really an upgrade?
@Conexus X18 Yes, same engineering. Many Lexus models have the same motor as the carolla. Only major difference are comfort features (heated seats, hardwood steering wheel, back up camera, Lexus logo shining on the ground when you open the door, driving assist, etc). Luxury cars have things that can cause more electrical issues so you end up taking it to the mechanic more often. Everytime the check engine light goes on you have no choice but to take it to the dealership to replace easy stuff since it's all computerized. That is the plight of modern cars and especially luxury cars. In other words, luxury is not an upgrade but you do you.
This is a fantastic video! Definitely one of your best ones yet!
Thanks, awesome to hear 😄
Oohhh myyyyy GOD! THE ICE BATH WITH BREATHING! I'm I the only one who's getting some Wim Hof vibes here? Jesse-san, you gotta meet this old Master! Search for him! I can only imagine the experience that it would be if you two meet.
same here!!!! ballerina all my life!!!! now im into martial arts!!!!!
Great video. Inspiring as always. Off to the Dojo now to work on my Kobudo ;)
Happy training!! 🥋👊👍
Hey Jesse, was there ever a time when you felt stuck for lack of progress or extemely unmotivated in Karate? If so, how did you overcome it? I've been feeling like that lately, so I would like to know your opinion or experience with it. Great video as always!
Study a 2nd Discipline.
Eye did
Plus! They compliment each other very-well...can flow 1 to ground
(Okinawan Kenpo -Aiki-Justsu
Deltah has VALID POINT TOO
And ...YOGA
Which is your favorite Kata?
Why're you so inspiring?😭 I always look forward to these videos!
Can't wait for the "Year in the life of a Karate Nerd". Hopefully that's going to be a 10 hours long video.
Hahah you’re killing me 🤪🤪🤪
I'll clear a schedule 4 THATTT !!!
LOLOLOLOL
Jesse, really enjoy this video. Can you do more like this please?
Exactly.
Protect weaker
Or backed in corner.
I'm NEVER aggressor
(Cept lokup WON'T lie Sir)
But pride myself on actually makin them "hurt themselves"
(If make sense)
kobudo! :-) For the white room, you need one wall with shelves from the floor up to the ceiling. In only one wall. And in natural wood colors. Maybe the natural wood surface and texture. Varnished of course! And some elegant cadres on the rest of the walls. But no other installations! The frame on the cadres and the rest of the small furniture, it would be nice, if they have the same texture and color!
Great video and great fun watching! Congrats Jessy. 🥳
I have a short question concerning training kids to improve their balance and feeling of gravity, like you showed while running through the woods. which exercises would you use? As this will improve stances in general, it should be great for karate in general. and can you recommend a book with „modern“ training methods for kids? like biomechanics, age specific training etc. Thank you in advance and enjoy springtime 🐣
One word....lovedthiskindofvideoJesse!!
I would love to see a video on how you used your breathing to control your body.
Wowwww. Excited to watch it another awesome video
I loved the business advice, very wise words man
I'm definitely a shoshin using zanshin especially with family around. Even just before dark is not so safe anymore. Like that saying "Me don't me there" or something like that in Cobra Kai and Karate Kid 😂
Hey Jesse I enjoy in fact been enjoying your RUclips videos for years now, I have a quick question how come most if not all of your students wear the dojo patch on their do gi's but you don't ever have one on yours? I ask respectfully!! Thank you and keep making awesome videos Jesse san..
Love the last part
I wish I could enroll in your dojo 🙂🙂🙂🥺
I loved your Vlog please make more
yes new video !!
Oooh yeah! Hope you like it 😄
@@KARATEbyJesse of course i like it 😂
Jesse, you are a good dude :)
Hey Jessie, me again! Love hip hop as well, my best mate has just produced an album, the power of now, with diceman from the legion, well worth a listen, also if you haven't already heard the album Mecca and the soul brother (Pete Rock & CL Smooth), check that out as well!
Haha..very true, modern self defense is get a gun. I remember an Okinawan karate practitioner suffering from bonsilitis advised by his doctor, get a gun instead. Interesting, fun and stress relieving videos. Thanks a lot.
37 mins of pure awesomeness. Also I have a question what is you’re main centre of mind when training?
Very enjoyable vlog Jesse-san, always interesting to see the snippets and to learn something new ... Your book guide was cool ... The format rocks and you and your family and friends are quite engaging ... That icy dive though .....
Haha great to hear! Try it out, it’s refreshing 😜💪
Great video Jesse:) if you ever wanna come by Copenhagen and collab, let me know:) keep up the great work:)
Flying to Copenhagen today, what a coincidence 😜
Jesse Enkamp I’m out of town today actually... how long are you staying in Cooenhagen?:)
You’re Amazing Jeese!! Another great Video.. I have a question about Modern Self defense you mention to grab a “Gun” kindly explain it more why we need to have a gun. Thank you.
Was not expecting Jesse to say “get a gun”. 😂
the part about your blender was hilarious but glad you're ok. lol I just had a green smoothie before playing this
