As a Wing Chun practitioner, I can appreciate this lesson, most traditional arts are complete systems, punching, kicking, grappling and weapons. This is how they differ from sports. As i have commented before on your page, MMA guys continue to downplay the effectiveness of traditional arts, however, most MMA guys are beginners in many arts and therefore have no basis from which to speak of traditional arts. Thanks for your karate insights and support for traditional arts. Good stuff. Also, many arts do not give away the "secrets" until you have moved well pass black belt.
People who go in MMA only specialize in one style and they just learn the rest like a bit to balance themselves out but they always resort to the original style they trained in which could be boxing etc
@@nbip2845 - What "messed things up" was the focus on the knockdown tournaments - So alot of these technique were "lost" - however in USA dojo's that were in rougher areas ie Brooklyn Dojo - these techniques were taught...Oddly enough, alot of these moves, practically street fighting/real self Defense, people would come from Japan to learn in the Brooklyn Kyokushin dojo (which was always a surprise to me) -
I'm a practitioner in Hapikido and we use all these moves. But I've never learned how to escape. Great stuff my friend! I agree I need a brother like Oliver my wife and kids don't like being my uke.
It seems in many styles (Shorin-Ryu for me) that we practice the actual joint locks themselves, but very rarely do we seem to practice the counters and escapes from the same locks. We're predominantly in a mindset of applying the technique TO someone, or letting our partner practice it on us - and I find myself often wondering, besides the obvious tongue-in-cheek "don't get caught in it in the first place", if you do find yourself on the receiving end, what's the best way out or to at least try to protect your joint from catastrophic damage. I really liked Sensei Enkamp's treatment of this in this video and would love to see more counter moves for future demonstrated techniques.
Jesse Sensei, I really appreciate your videos. I was an Army Brat and grew in Japan taking Shotokan and Judo. I love watching your techniques. You teach so much like a Japanese Instructor and your Knowledge is so extensive! Thank you!
The first lock you demonstrated is the first technique we learn in the white belt of Nagashima ryu Aikijujutsu. We call it Tekubi kime. Your videos are awesome.
It is interesting to see how everything goes in circles. I am both judo and jujutsu practitioner so I am well acquainted with both the counter-technique and the throw that ended the kaishiwazan. anyway keep up the great work and it is a nice youtube channel even for a judo nerd.
This is why I've loved your channel since I discovered it. You have information that is even useful to us judoka. I may not be a karateka and yet I always learn something new from you. Thank you!
4:15 The importance of slapping or shocking the opponent first before applying your wrist or elbow locks cannot be stressed enough. The shock will throw off the opponent’s focus giving you a small chance apply your lock. My man Jesse is showing y’all slowly so you can get it. Everything must be done fast and explosive to be effective so practice, practice, practice makes perfect!
These techniques of shocking your opponent first and weakening him are known as Atemi in Judo, Aikido and Aikijutsu. Master Moreihei Uyeshiba and Gozo Shioda both said that Aikido is 70% Atemi. Aikido techniques cannot work on the street without Atemi.
I love to compete but I feel challenged more when I am practicing and teaching the more aggressive self defense based Karate in its original form and performing its original purpose, sport Karate gave me confidence but it was when I started looking more closely at Kata and being inspired by people like you that a fire was relit inside me. I have to be reminded of the time when I am practicing as I get so engrossed in what I am doing. Amazing video and we are all looking forward to seeing more ! Thank you *Deep bow*
Kata is for learning the techniques. To apply the techniques effectively, we need lots of full contact free sparring. Aikido, Tai Chi and the traditional Internal Chinese Martial Arts hae lots of kata but no sparring! The result is that its practioners cannot apply the techniques effectively on the street or in an MMA ring! They are not effective against MMA fighters or Muay Thai boxers.
great video of joint locks applications and escapes!!! as a Choson Musul practitioner we see these and other techniques and their variations, but, we usually make a distraction punch mostly to the soft parts before the joint lock, that way we can apply the technique with a superior devastating and controlling effect! Thank you Jesse for all you share with us!! i learn tons with this!
That was a superior in depth explanation of not only the joint locks, but the History of the art and meaning of the Katas. And in such a short amount of time. I call that efficient.
Awesome.. nykio, ikkyo, both taught in the system I train, we take from aikio, even the elbow lock is from aikido. The counter to nykio demonstrate the principles of what my Eskrima instructor taught me using sticks, knife or empty hand. Scissor sweep, is something I havent seen, we dont use the "bite" technique. But in fight situation, guess you could as a last resort. Once again a great video. Always fun seeing different applications of principles
Yes in wado ryu we first learned all these moves and much more with ippons one finger instant pins combined with appropriate side step joint lock and punch at the end, we practiced breaking boards accelerated quick punches for the finish after the one point pin and joint lock first. Otsuka Sensei gave as a present to Funikoshi a poster of all points for atemi. Footwork is sliding and gliding like a bird. Very very smooth, and elegant not rough or using great muscularity or excessive spinning.
Nice work, Jesse-san! In aikido, we also practice these joint locks from these same positions. Names can vary, but where I practice we usually call it "Ai hanmi katatetori nikkyo omote", "gyaku hanmi katatetori ude hijiki" and "Morotetori ude garami" (although it's a hiji waza, this is usually followed by curling the arm in order to take the uke to the floor and submit/neutralize him) This reminded me of a conversation I recently had with a huge friend of mine (who is an experienced karateka) on convergences between aikido and karate, not only in techniques but also in principles . Now I want to know karate better as much as he wants to dig into some aikido stuff. No matter which path you choose, one martial art can always contribute to a deeper understanding of another. P.S: I shared Karate Nerd in China with him last week and he just loved it! Can't wait for season 2!
@@Dave-dv1ry I watched it again and it's true, cuz he's going for the back of the uke. So, it's actually nikkyo ura. My bad and thanks for the correction!
When I was studying kung Fu in my early teens, twice a month the instructor would have us practice what he called "Chin Na" which was joint locks and take downs. When I started back into karate, we practiced joint locks and take downs as well (Jiu-Jitsu and aikido techniques were part of the system)! Thank you for posting this, Young Sensei! You are bringing back some of the best memories I have as well as teaching me new things!
It's very interesting to see how some martial arts have confluences. Your first movement is a wrist lock called Nikkio in Aikido. And the scissor take down is called Tesoura (scissor) in Capoeira.
once again thankyou Jesse. that gyaku waza is really a big learning material as an Shorinji Kempo practitioner i learned a lot from this video in my curriculum what you did is really similllar to our waza in first wrist lock it is same as "KiriGote waza" in second arm lock it is same as okurigote waza and in the third arm lock is same as udejuji gatame waza all this form only different in the way to approach the form, or in other word is only different causality to be execute but in the end the form is similar.
As a Shorinji Kempo practitioner, the techniques are very similar to some Shorinji Kempo Techniques like Kiri gote (1st), okuri maki tembi (2nd), ude juji gatame (3rd) and it´s not that surprising since martial arts are so science-based. Anyways, I love your videos especially because I see clear as the day, your enthusiasm and passion for karate, and your need to improve as further as possible. Great Work!
As someone who trains in both Karate and Jiu-jitsu (BJJ) I see a lot of Jiu-jitsu techniques in the Karate Kata's. For years after earning my second degree black belt in Karate I trained Muay Thai kick boxing and no gi BJJ believing Karate was outdated but now train Karate and gi BJJ. Jiu-jitsu actually gave me a new appreciation for Kata's because I kept seeing things I learned in Kata in the jiu-jitsu I was learning. There are many control techniques like joint locks, escapes, throws and take downs in the katas. Unfortunately most Karateka don't realize what they are learning in the katas and its nothing more than a dance and just spar like kick boxers. Many of the movements in Kata have nothing to do with striking and everything to do with control techniques, take downs, throws and escape techniques. Bunkai is really the opportunity to explore the full array of techniques in Karate. I feel Karate/Jiu-jitsu is a better combo than Kickboxing/Jiu-jitsu because Karate has all the strikes that kickboxing has and then some plus a lot of Jiu-jitsu type techniques as well. A lot of Karate/BJJ black belts do very well in MMA like Machida, Bas Rutten and GSP.
Besides basic techniques and body mechanics, I firmly believe these Tuidi/ Torite based applications are additional reasons why Naihanchi & Pinan kata are taught as beginner level kata. Great analysis & demos Jesse Sensei. Pax ✌️

Wow.. Excellent technique analysis of hidden kata forms.. Ur bridging the gap between Karate, Jujitsu n Chin Na.. Ur working in the right direction.. 🤗👍
Nice to see the kani basami in there. I was teaching waki gatame in a jiu jitsu class recently, and someone asked how to defend it. My first answer was, "This is prohibited in tournaments, but kani basami is all but designed for this exact purpose..."
7:40 The moment you showed that I was mind-blown. I do TKD and I have seen my partner do this move for countless times, yet I don't know the actual application of it (it's from the form Keumgang). Thanks for sharing this invaluable information!
Did you think about teaching karate on zoom? Your videos are so understood, and I'm sure there are many people or kids that can't find a good sensei.... But you are so awesome!
First time I went to watch this, was just a refresh my memory, rewinding back to the beginning an hour later missing my late sensei Rayburn Nichols thanks for the good memories! And I mean that from the bottom of my heart Sensei Jessie!
This is very interesting. Learning about the old Karate now makes sense to me. I now realize the effectiveness and now have more understanding and respect for Karate. Thanks for explaining.
Awesome techniques Jesse, one thing I've been taught by my Instructors is to not just trap the hand, but also trap the fingers. If they release their grip on you, they can pull away before you can apply your counter technique. Not sure I'm explaining it properly but have your attacker try to release his grip before you finish your technique. Then you might see the difference between trapping the hand alone vs the hand/fingers. Something to think about?
Very well explained and shown! I was happy to hear you also explained the details like to move the whole body, since it is the same that I tell my students.
I didn’t know these grappling moves were related to katas in karate. That’s pretty interesting because to people who don’t do martial arts they will see that it really looks nothing interesting but if someone witnessed you doing a kata for defense in public they’d be astonished on how simple blocks and kicks and strikes can help you in a street fight.
Very cool to see that there are also joint locks in Karate. I practiced Hapkido for a year, so I'm very familar with these techniques and I recently started Karate. I'm a little sad, that these techniques don't play a big part in modern Karate anymore..
mr Enkamp you would be a great aikidoka too..liked your combination teaching method and the principle that each technique has a counter technique!Thanx!
Most of these techniques were routinely taught in an Okinawan karate style called Sho Ba Kan. I’ve used some in actual fights and they work… but you can not remain static as you apply them. Apply, break the bone or rip the joint quickly and continue to move through the opponent(s). I started at age ten in 1957… when you could be expelled from the dojo for letting others know you were studying karate. Basic judo throws and traditional weapons were taught. The belt system was white, brown and black. No black belts awarded to anyone under the age of 15. By age 15 I could do fifty knuckle push ups on a wooden floor. In one high school fight I beat up two bullies and was called a “dirty fighter” because I used kicks.
Great stuff. You can also counter the last lock by simply pushing on the opponents elbow and pulling your arm back enough to stop the hold. Also you can go in for a hip throw after you have done this 👌
Excellent instruction, Sensei. Thank you for showing the escapes as well as pointing out the bunkai from kata. Definitely recognized that first one from Bassai Dai. Thanks again, you’re a great ambassador of Karate-Do. Oss!!!
This joint locks are taken from Aikido. The first one is called nikkyo and it's one of the most basic techniques. Well explained (even for Aikido practicioner), keep up the good work!
@@KARATEbyJesse I know, all of these techniques and even martial arts like Karate, Judo, Aikido etc. are extension of windsom contained in martial arts that existed in medieval (or even ancient?) times. You can see that most of martial arts that exist today have common roots.
Back when I was young in 1965, I was in the Chicago Judo and Karate Center. For promotion to the next belt, you had to demonstrate so many katas, but also so many take downs and joint locks. That first wrist lock was the first one we learned. We also learned several choke holds from the jujitsu instructor. You’re right they don’t teach this any more in the karate schools.
I see a lot of seipai in this one. In my style the 3rd one is a bunkai, but we go a step further and counter the counter . As the opponent grabs his hand you elbow him with with the hand applying the preassure o the arm and then palm strike the opponent´s groin with the other hand. Alternatevely, you could place your leading leg behind your opponent´s leg and rotate to keep pressuring the joint. But all of these moves are present in seipai.
Thanks for posting this videos! In my early training I always used to wonder, if is Karate supposed to be only about blocks, punches and kicks, why there are so many throws and grabs in kata? When I moved to California I could not find any of the "big 4" karate style dojos, so I joined the only karate school in the area, Wa-te Ryu. In their examination, students had to perform falling techniques, throws, escapes and grab attacks. I thought they were un-orthodox. Then I started learning about the studies from Bruce Clayton and Patric McCarthy about the origins of karate in Okinawa when it was its own kingdom and all started to make sense.
What a amazing video ! This is so cool ! I already know the first lock but the two other are a complete discovery. And of course, I never see the way to escape if I'm victim. Your videos are really important and it's always a pleasure to see them. It's incredible, 'cause I think that my karate will be completely different without you (not only on the technical side, but more importantly on the way to think about the Karate) even if we never met ! Thank you so much for everything you're a really nice person and of course, a really important karateka ! 😀🥋 From one of your viewers in France
Number one was my favourite wrist lock in hakko denshin ryu ju jutsu Aya dori I believe it was called. It’s neat too see the full range of these martial arts blended together like they are meant to be! Very good instructional video!
Thank you for the amazing videos Jesse!! You’ve helped my development in karate more than I can ever imagine and made me think so much deeper into everything I learn. Once again thank you Jesse 👊🏽👊🏽

Awesome techniques Jesse, one thing I've been taught by my Instructors is to not just trap the hand, but also trap the fingers. If they release their grip on you, they can pull away before you can apply your counter technique. Not sure I'm explaining it properly but have your attacker try to release his grip before you finish your technique. Then you might see the difference between trapping the hand alone vs the hand/fingers. Something to think about?
Very well explained and shown! I was happy to hear you also explained the details like to move the whole body, since it is the same that I tell my students.
I didn’t know these grappling moves were related to katas in karate. That’s pretty interesting because to people who don’t do martial arts they will see that it really looks nothing interesting but if someone witnessed you doing a kata for defense in public they’d be astonished on how simple blocks and kicks and strikes can help you in a street fight.
Very cool to see that there are also joint locks in Karate. I practiced Hapkido for a year, so I'm very familar with these techniques and I recently started Karate. I'm a little sad, that these techniques don't play a big part in modern Karate anymore..
Great video as always. I learned the first two but the third one is new for me as well as the escapes. Thanks again Jesse
mr Enkamp you would be a great aikidoka too..liked your combination teaching method and the principle that each technique has a counter technique!Thanx!
Nikkyo (kote mawashi), waki gatame and kanuki gatame! Very well performed.👌🏻
Really-really-really nice video Jesse. 🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♂️
Thank you very much 🙏
Most of these techniques were routinely taught in an Okinawan karate style called Sho Ba Kan.
I’ve used some in actual fights and they work… but you can not remain static as you apply them. Apply, break the bone or rip the joint quickly and continue to move through the opponent(s).
I started at age ten in 1957… when you could be expelled from the dojo for letting others know you were studying karate.
Basic judo throws and traditional weapons were taught.
The belt system was white, brown and black.
No black belts awarded to anyone under the age of 15.
By age 15 I could do fifty knuckle push ups on a wooden floor.
In one high school fight I beat up two bullies and was called a “dirty fighter” because I used kicks.
So glad REAL KARATE is blossoming

Loved the added bit of kata-related bunkai!
Great stuff. You can also counter the last lock by simply pushing on the opponents elbow and pulling your arm back enough to stop the hold. Also you can go in for a hip throw after you have done this 👌
Great point! 👍
Excellent instruction, Sensei. Thank you for showing the escapes as well as pointing out the bunkai from kata. Definitely recognized that first one from Bassai Dai. Thanks again, you’re a great ambassador of Karate-Do. Oss!!!
He even uses this in the USDC, how many Martial Arts RUclipsrs can prove that their instructionals work in a competition. Awesome stuff.
This joint locks are taken from Aikido. The first one is called nikkyo and it's one of the most basic techniques. Well explained (even for Aikido practicioner), keep up the good work!
Thanks! These techniques existed before Aikido 👍
@@KARATEbyJesse I know, all of these techniques and even martial arts like Karate, Judo, Aikido etc. are extension of windsom contained in martial arts that existed in medieval (or even ancient?) times. You can see that most of martial arts that exist today have common roots.
Yes, Shodokan also has those techniques.
I enjoyed this video, in particular your 3 explanations as to why an attacker may grab your wrists before applying techniques. Osu!
Another explanation is that you are going for a weapon and your opponent is trying to stop you. That is how it was explained to me in Hapkido.
Enkamp Sensei this awe-inspiring side of karate 🥋 do
Also, I need a brother like Oliver!😁
Back when I was young in 1965, I was in the Chicago Judo and Karate Center. For promotion to the next belt, you had to demonstrate so many katas, but also so many take downs and joint locks. That first wrist lock was the first one we learned. We also learned several choke holds from the jujitsu instructor. You’re right they don’t teach this any more in the karate schools.
as an aikido-practicioner, wristlocks are one of my favourites ... is it weird this motivates me to train karate ? :DD
I see a lot of seipai in this one. In my style the 3rd one is a bunkai, but we go a step further and counter the counter . As the opponent grabs his hand you elbow him with with the hand applying the preassure o the arm and then palm strike the opponent´s groin with the other hand. Alternatevely, you could place your leading leg behind your opponent´s leg and rotate to keep pressuring the joint. But all of these moves are present in seipai.
Thanks for posting this videos!
In my early training I always used to wonder, if is Karate supposed to be only about blocks, punches and kicks, why there are so many throws and grabs in kata?
When I moved to California I could not find any of the "big 4" karate style dojos, so I joined the only karate school in the area, Wa-te Ryu. In their examination, students had to perform falling techniques, throws, escapes and grab attacks. I thought they were un-orthodox. Then I started learning about the studies from Bruce Clayton and Patric McCarthy about the origins of karate in Okinawa when it was its own kingdom and all started to make sense.
What a amazing video ! This is so cool ! I already know the first lock but the two other are a complete discovery. And of course, I never see the way to escape if I'm victim. Your videos are really important and it's always a pleasure to see them. It's incredible, 'cause I think that my karate will be completely different without you (not only on the technical side, but more importantly on the way to think about the Karate) even if we never met ! Thank you so much for everything you're a really nice person and of course, a really important karateka ! 😀🥋
From one of your viewers in France
Merci! I’m so happy to hear that 😄🙏
Number one was my favourite wrist lock in hakko denshin ryu ju jutsu Aya dori I believe it was called. It’s neat too see the full range of these martial arts blended together like they are meant to be! Very good instructional video!
I love the Japanese terminology. We need more Karate Schools that teach this in the United States.
I see Sepai, then Saifa, then Kururunfa. Good insight Jesse, thank you
Very useful locks thanks bro
Excellent! Short, concise, basic and multi-faceted! Also, it sure would be nice to have a training partner like your brother.
Fantastic vision for "defense"
Fwiw, that first one is called "small hand wrap" in Tai Chi or Shuai Chiao. It's in the Tai Chi long form if you know what you are looking for. :)
Once again Jesse Sensei you are a wealth of knowledge!
Thank you for the amazing videos Jesse!! You’ve helped my development in karate more than I can ever imagine and made me think so much deeper into everything I learn. Once again thank you Jesse 👊🏽👊🏽
You’re too kind! Much appreciated 🙌
Really like the escapes thanks Jesse
Wonderful instruction and so good that you refere back to katatechnics
Nice work. That's cool, that you gonna teach that stuff that really works to gain control over your opponent.
Great video 👍😁
