Mr. Enkamp I'm talking to you from Brazil and I'm here today to tell you thanks to show us some parts of Okinawa karate... I really liked this video and I loved when I saw my country's flag hanging in a hope behind you... It is amazing to see how universal is the world of karate... Thank you so much my friend to show us the world of it...
Jesse my friend, every time I watch you share your experience in this passionate way, my own passion level goes up!!! You're getting better and better with every video you make and I (we) really appreciate it :) Thank you all so much, keep us posted cause we'll be there!
Matayoshi was my sensei's teacher too! So cool to see another student. My Sensei sits with me an hour every lesson too, every week 😱 loved this episode, it's very near to my heart!
I've been binge watching this whole series and cannot get enough of it. I just started watching them again from the beginning with my partner who is really enjoying it as well, and is very impressed with you, Jesse. Can't wait to see the next one and thank you for always inspiring us!
I'm 55 years old and just starting my karate journey. Your site is very inspiring. Saying that Life is more like kumite than kata reveals that you are wise well beyond your years. Thanks for making these videos.
Fantastic. I loved the kobudo master showing the uppercut with the nunchaku and his facial expression regarding the figure eight. Priceless! Keep being amazing!
Onegashimas Jesse Sensei. If you can , plz make the episodes longer. I am sure I speak for many , when I say that we cannot get enough and a longer episode will just be even more enlightening. Perhaps even , show more of the actual training if you can or your personal training that you do on your own before starting the days events. Keep up the informative and thoroughly entertaining videos. Domo haregatho namasta.
I've been following your blog since I began my own karate journey (November 2009, at the ripe old age of 33!). It's always been a great inspiration and I love that you've managed to make such an epic success from it. Loving the new Okinawa season. Thank you for sharing.
Dude, you're videos are the best productions in the karate world so far, I swear! Not only the contents, but the cutting, dramaturgy, graphics etc. are just brilliant!
Yuhu! The 3rd episode! Thank you so much. My father and I love your videos. As you, and I guess many others, karate is a family thing. Agree: life is more like kumite. I think you must have a big heart, very nice this episode!
I learn more from these videos than I do from school, school is a kata these videos taught me what my school can't which is that "life is not a kata, it's more like kumite", or bunkai. You rock Jesse!
Jessee Sensei it is so inspiring the way you share your ideas about Karate, it is also very beautiful how you want to spread this dedicated, passionate and humble way to see the relationship between an apprentice and Senseis when you said that you felt it right to wear a white belt instead tour black one, and finally it was very gratifying seeing a Chilean flag jn the dojo bar!!! Greeting and best regards from a Kenshin ryu / Tokuinkan from Chile
THIS IS DOPEEEEEEE!!!!!! Man this is way too cute, thank for share all this. You are part of my Karate journey, so I wish you the best from heart and keep sharing with all of us this beautiful experiences.
Watching these videos is always a pleasure. It makes me want to save up and spend a couple of weeks training Uechi-ryu Karate in Okinawa. Thank you Enkamp Sensei.
Your work ethic is truly superb; To see you flushed beet red in the face (hilarious) is so inspirational. Even at your elevated level it's a great reminder that we only stop learning and growing when we choose to; There are no masters, just really old students. Thank you Sir!
Jesse San, you have always been very sympathetic but after the sentence "life is no kata" and whatever else you said about it in your great video, you have become even more sympathetic 🤩😀 !!!
Love the videos!! I’m a new comer to the karate world, I’ve found that it brings peace balance and new goals, as even our host sensei Jesse is still learning and kind enough to share that with us. I would love one day, when I am more experienced to do that program. Awesome video!!
Bro, I've watched and listened 3 videos of yours, and I wanted to say, thank you, thank you for teaching me and enforcering that being humble is the path of the fist, (what I want to say is the path that we must all go on, in order to learn something and not to show that i'm a black belt in another karate style). again, thank you for the lesson, sensei.
Bravo! World class educational video. Thank you for sharing, I learned so much from you once again. Your videos are philosophical, they are not just about karate! Karate as life, life as karate, it’s all one! Bravo! And how the heck do you get a high ranking Don you just met in your first lesson to agree to a camera? That’s something I can’t comprehend. All filmakers need to learn this exceptional skill. So many experts are shy of cameras.
Thx Jesse for your always inspiring vids. With your words about fitting in the (janpanese) society, and the picture you draw with Kata and the freedom of Kumite you had truly wise points. Thx and keep on doing it! ✊
I can see real spirit of karate .A thing you said in another episode caught me 'to live in the true spirit of karate that the grand masters of karate lived for and hence to be united in aim with the roots of karate'. Great work .let us all live in the true karate spirit. Best wishes
Of the 3 schools in Okinawa--Goju Ryu, Uechi Ryu and Shorin Ryu--Shorin Ryu interest me the most because of its root in Shaolin Kung fu. While Goju Ryu has its root from Fujian White Crane boxing.
For any of those binging this these days, I had an interesting thought about the forearm bone alignment. It's actually similar to how we roll the shoulder today when we throw straight lead hand punches. That helps to align the bones and land a harder shot.
Hey Jesse. I just wanted to let you know that I absolutely love your videos. A few years ago I used to do karate but I had to stop. I have now started again. Your videos have helped me get used to it and get back into it. I do Goju Ryu style in case you were wondering. I just want to say thank you for your videos as they really do help me. I also wanted to ask what Dan belt you are. Thanks for taking your time to read this.
Jesse-san, I have been watching your videos for a while now, and though I don't know you in person I have honestly come to respect and regard you very much as a person and as a karateka (cant say the same about all the martial arts channels I've come across). Even my fiance asks me once in a while "hey aren't you gonna watch that guy today??" But I gotta say this: the first minutes of this video are probably my favorite of all the content I've seen by you so far; specially between 2:30 and 4:08; what a genuine heartfelt conversation; heavy feels! And also very David Copperfieldish in your remembering of the past, I might add. Keep up the great channel and the karate life journey! Greetings from Brazil Oss
I think that life is more like "bunkai", the application of kata. Because is like a personal interpretation about how to use what each one learn with the katas ;)
Jesse. Talk about IKIGAI please? I work in Brazil to popularize this culture and I would be delighted to see you exploring the topic. thanks for your great content.
Great episode Jesse. You should ask okinawa's tourism agency for sponsorship since your videos transfer so many willing of visiting there. Btw who does your video editing , its tremendous.
i heard this great quote by Muhammed Ali about conditioning (ab crunches in his case) : i only start to count the reps once the hurting starts and i want to give up, since that is when things really start to happen!! I thought you might like this :). Enjoyed the video once again, Jesse. THX for sharing
I'm not a hardcore karate nerd but I do mix plenty of karate techniques in my day to day training as that is where my base is. Kind of like your brother! Would love the chance to visit Okinawa.
I am just on 3. Episode but im afraid of to watch next episode because the serie will end :'( Jesse-san i want 3rd season :'( Btw, while you are talking about your bad and good news, i watched you with your same exciting. Your videos are really high quality, you deserve more to watching. I want people to watch you more. And i will take an eye to OKNP or ONKP, whatever lol
Great episode as always! Awesome origin story on how you started this whole thing at 19 (!) years old. Much respect of what you've accomplished. On behalf of a dedicated Karate Nerd, thank you for sharing! Oh and by the way good to see that pizza is on the Karate Nerd diet 😁
Really cool that the Sensei tests the character of his students first, rare in today's world. The three-sectional staff originates from kung fu as did karate. Jet Li and Sammo Hung have done some great fight scenes with it in Hong Kong cinema. As an actual fighting weapon, the Sensei is right: it is hard to control after an impact and you have a decent chance of cracking your own head open.
“Life is not a Kata, it is more like a Kumite”
Yeah man!!
Absolutely! That is a beautiful lesson.
@California love It's basically sparring

"I have no idea what happened, but here we are and I'm waiting for a pizza" - story of my college life
Jesse my friend, every time I watch you share your experience in this passionate way, my own passion level goes up!!! You're getting better and better with every video you make and I (we) really appreciate it :) Thank you all so much, keep us posted cause we'll be there!
Matayoshi was my sensei's teacher too! So cool to see another student. My Sensei sits with me an hour every lesson too, every week 😱 loved this episode, it's very near to my heart!
Also, thank you for sharing this stuff. It's so rare people do this and spend time to do so, it's not easy, so thanks!
Arigato! Glad you liked it 😄👍
I've been binge watching this whole series and cannot get enough of it. I just started watching them again from the beginning with my partner who is really enjoying it as well, and is very impressed with you, Jesse. Can't wait to see the next one and thank you for always inspiring us!

"Life is not lile kata... it's like kumite. " Now one of my favorite sayings by jesse enkamp 🙏
Onegashimas Jesse Sensei. If you can , plz make the episodes longer. I am sure I speak for many , when I say that we cannot get enough and a longer episode will just be even more enlightening.

Wow, thanks! 😄👍
You are such an inspiring person Jesse! You need way more subscribers!
I like how the teaching with the master was broken down where every move is executed properly. Great!
Thanks for watching! 🌟 If you missed any episode, you see all here: www.karatebyjesse.com/okinawa-karate-season-2/ 👍

You have a good relationship with Okinawa. Now Okinawa is in my wishlist.
I loved your speach regarding Kata in japanese culture. My friend is married to a Japanese woman and says that being japanese is a job in itself.
Jessee Sensei it is so inspiring the way you share your ideas about Karate, it is also very beautiful how you want to spread this dedicated, passionate and humble way to see the relationship between an apprentice and Senseis when you said that you felt it right to wear a white belt instead tour black one, and finally it was very gratifying seeing a Chilean flag jn the dojo bar!!! Greeting and best regards from a Kenshin ryu / Tokuinkan from Chile
It's amazing how Jesse knows about the best and lesser known eateries, and so on. You can tell he has lived in Okinawa.
THIS IS DOPEEEEEEE!!!!!! Man this is way too cute, thank for share all this. You are part of my Karate journey, so I wish you the best from heart and keep sharing with all of us this beautiful experiences.
Watching these videos is always a pleasure. It makes me want to save up and spend a couple of weeks training Uechi-ryu Karate in Okinawa. Thank you Enkamp Sensei.
Love the way you get so excited when you talk about the session
I'm so happy for season 2. I been waiting everyday for the next video to drop. I'm so inspired.
this teacher is one of the best i have ever seen
Your work ethic is truly superb; To see you flushed beet red in the face (hilarious) is so inspirational. Even at your elevated level it's a great reminder that we only stop learning and growing when we choose to; There are no masters, just really old students.
Thank you Sir!
We are waiting
I can't give you more likes bro , you really give us a lot of shearing karate info . I can't thank you enough bro. Regards, 3Dan shotokan from Libya.
Jesse San, you have always been very sympathetic but after the sentence "life is no kata" and whatever else you said about it in your great video, you have become even more sympathetic 🤩😀 !!!
I learn so much from these videos thank you.
Love the videos!! I’m a new comer to the karate world, I’ve found that it brings peace balance and new goals, as even our host sensei Jesse is still learning and kind enough to share that with us. I would love one day, when I am more experienced to do that program. Awesome video!!
Your Videos are awesome! What a quality!
Jesse what is your opinion on kyokushin karate? Could You make a video about it?
Greetings from Berlin
MrAce ya, I have the same question
It's not just the history I enjoy, but the messages that come along with it. Great video series Jesse 😁❤
Wow great video Jesse I love the Ali shirt! The kobudo was amazing
sunday mornings, cup of coffee, sit down and watch your 'karate nerd in okinawa' episode! Loved it but now i have to wait a whole week for episode 4!
best episode yet of season 2!!
Bro, I've watched and listened 3 videos of yours, and I wanted to say, thank you, thank you for teaching me and enforcering that being humble is the path of the fist, (what I want to say is the path that we must all go on, in order to learn something and not to show that i'm a black belt in another karate style). again, thank you for the lesson, sensei.

Thx Jesse for your always inspiring vids. With your words about fitting in the (janpanese) society, and the picture you draw with Kata and the freedom of Kumite you had truly wise points. Thx and keep on doing it! ✊
My pleasure! 🙏

Thanks for your kind words 🙏
Great job Jessie for your research, I've learned a lot from your videos and learn different methods to apply to my shito Ryu style
Really enjoying your KNIO episodes :)
Thanks for showing us so much man.
Greetings from Germany :D
Btw. Road to 100k almost done
Of the 3 schools in Okinawa--Goju Ryu, Uechi Ryu and Shorin Ryu--Shorin Ryu interest me the most because of its root in Shaolin Kung fu. While Goju Ryu has its root from Fujian White Crane boxing.
The style I am learning is Shotokan/Shorin Ryu it kinda reminds me of Wing Chun it has a lot of close quarter moves
I Love this!! I studied Traditional Okinawain Kempo with Master Albert O.Geraldi 4 year's in Ocala , Florida. A great Hanshi 8 th Dan.
I also studied Shotokon in the early 70's. Japanese style. Had some very deadly strikes to Throat and Heart area's! OMG.
Thank You for your videos Jesse I learn more from watching you!
Nice to see Matayoshi represented! Love it! Cool to see you doing some Matayoshi Kata!
Cool videos ep 2 and 3!! Thanks for sharing!! Go on!!!
Thank you Sensai Another quality episode and you are right life is like Kumite.
Love it! Your enthusiasm is contagious 👍
What an Awesome Episode! Well done on the "KATA" way of Life speech. Thanks for all the inspiration!
Thank you for all your wonderful, enlightening and entertaining videos. My favourite t-shirt is the Seishin one :)
For any of those binging this these days, I had an interesting thought about the forearm bone alignment. It's actually similar to how we roll the shoulder today when we throw straight lead hand punches. That helps to align the bones and land a harder shot.
I see Okinawa and karate from you Sensei .. Thank you
Love the explanation of Kata finally maybe people will begin to understand. I'm studying Matayoshii kobudo. Super. Love this episode man.
Awesome! 🙏
Nicolas! He served me my first Habushu :) These episodes are really making me miss Okinawa.
I really liked the explanation about why you are not living there. :D Very nice video, keep up the good work.
i love all these vids. so educational, informative and relaxing.
Hey Jesse. I just wanted to let you know that I absolutely love your videos. A few years ago I used to do karate but I had to stop. I have now started again. Your videos have helped me get used to it and get back into it. I do Goju Ryu style in case you were wondering. I just want to say thank you for your videos as they really do help me. I also wanted to ask what Dan belt you are.
Thanks for taking your time to read this.
soy de colombia, en este video aparece un colombiano como lo sigo , me gustaria saber mas de el. gracias.
Great bo staff video.can I get ur staff position handling video? And bo staff katta next?
Jesse-san,

Really loved it 😁😁😁 and someday I will be there from India
I love Jesse nekamp
Thanks! :)
Can't wait for the next episode!
Beautiful that kobudo lesson
I think that life is more like "bunkai", the application of kata. Because is like a personal interpretation about how to use what each one learn with the katas ;)
Jesse. Talk about IKIGAI please? I work in Brazil to popularize this culture and I would be delighted to see you exploring the topic. thanks for your great content.

White belt, good idea always when one go to a new dojo thats shows respect to the new máster I agree thanks Sensei.

Hello from Puerto Rico
I love your Blogs!
It finally came!!!
Really cool that the Sensei tests the character of his students first, rare in today's world.

I'love to go to Okinawa...!!!
The best episode so far 😍
Enjoy watching your videos Epic. Specially in Japan
Great advice in there!
Wow! Hälsningar från Finland!
Excellent!
Nice video jesse san thanks for the content
Your red face was just amazing. It seems that the sensei their made you to practice a lot
I just want to ask which Dan you are?
Almost 100k! Congrats Jesse
