Me waiting to see you as a proffesional mma fighter
Lol
😅
👍🏼
You did amazing in the fight. Much respect to you for making that step and trying. Disagree with what you said though I think you could be the next ngannou. Or rather be the next you. No one can be somebody else so set your goals and dreams and if you wanna fight I know you could be great. Sorry if it sounds corny but I believe it. I think you only lost cause mentality, skill wise I’d say you’re the more powerful fighter. That karate definitely left him not knowing how to defend and even in the beginning with Muay Thai you were getting the advantage. I think what lost it is that you lacked the killer mentality you need to fight. It’s COMBAT. You gotta go in there to hurt the other. Not for sparring and karate. But in a ring and fight or god forsake you ever need to apply your martial arts to really protect yourself from a threat. Your opponent however noticed this (this mentality is the Muay Thai mentality and why it’s my most recommended for real combat experience) but your opponent smelled some fear and went in when he smelled blood. This is where the meditation and mind training come into play for eastern martial arts. Again all respect. I say this because it’s part of that training and I as well as pros like ngannou train it, perhaps even most of all before a fight. But to go in feeling confident is more spiritually important than you could ever imagine. So one last time train that “killer” or “apex predator” mentality. And train that “Superman” mentality (I’m indestructible, every time you take a punch you gotta truly believe and know it can’t hurt) or in the case of this fight in the second round when he came in aggressive you need to show him you can’t be pushed around. Counterpunch and punish him for acting aggressively. Any time someone attacks they create moments of opportunity. So when they throw their weight into you make sure to counter punch them or intercept them with a punch. Alternatively step into them and clinch up and sweep. But make them understand that attacking you directly will be punished and not allowed. They should feel and know that that path leads to their defeat. If you can’t make that true they will exploit that with you. Again all respect. Great performance. You landed some great hits. And we all gotta fail, don’t be upset or let it defeat your confidence. Rather the opposite. Come back knowing you learned from your loss and overcame any humility. Overcame weakness in your style, and are now stronger for it. The 50 win streak can start at any point.
Full credit to Jesse. He is truly a humble martial artist, who is willing to put himself in a position that 99.99% of people would never do. Jesse, your courage, humility and character are truly an inspiration. You lost nothing in that fight. Simply picked up experience that will make you better.
Thanks for your kind words! Just doing what I love 🙏
Yeah there is a reason why most all fighters are on PEDS though. The training is grueling and they take every advantage they can get, especially among amateurs I bet PED use is common since it isn't tested for like in the pros. Gives certain fighters an unfair advantage in explosiveness and endurance if you know what I mean.
@@rodtack8420their all on it. So at this point no advantages
@@rodtack8420 The benefits to recovery is something people tend to forget in that equation.
Coach Dewey is a awesome coach and a great teacher. He sees the smallest discrepancies and is able to show you what you're doing wrong and why it matters.
Couldn't agree more!
Crazy how a man who has been training a martial art his whole life, comes to a gym with coaches like these and it’s like he’s starting all over again. Just shows the level of teaching they are at. Showing him the difference between show arts and fighting.
Yes, because fighting is not just about hit, but about get hit, and moving forward...
Wow, Coach Dewey Cooper really is one of those people that make every single person he interacts with feel special. You can tell he's lived a full life and has learned a lot through this human experience. The word he gave at the end of the video gave me chills. Definitely a genuinely kind person from what's been showcased here. Absolute phenom!
Superb video as always, Jesse! You'll get 'em next time! You did great and definitely had more fight in the tank. Respect for sharing and highlighting the greatness of others as well. Cheers!
I agree, there's a lot of people talking motivational crap without any knowledge to back it up or do it just to boost their own ego.
This man carries himself well and talks sense. It's great.
Yeah, I liked what he said at the end. Words to live by.
@@nickmills8476facts
You threw more kicks than Francis did in his whole career in one fight, proud of you Jesse
1k likes wow
Wow thank you 😇
@@KARATEbyJesse Go win that USDC and take the belt for us Karatekas
Francis KO’ed gane in sparring with the left high kick …. Supposedly 😂
@@DADRB0B55 Supposedly wing chun is an effective martial art .... supposedly😆
he would throw more but his opponents always fall down too quickly
Omg coach Dewey can put everyone on the right mindset, what a great guy. Thank you so much for the video Sensei Jesse, it really made my saturday morning way better 💚
Glad you enjoyed it! 😄
I can see why that guy trains guys who become savages. Love his mindset and differentiation between 'martial arts' and 'fighting'.
But also that he quickly saw that he could push you to success
Thank you for your kind words and support! I appreciate you! #BKSS/#BKMMA
Yeah! This coach is the real deal.
this coach was no joke, he wasnt playing with you or being "hollywood" with you. he was on yo ass, thats the kind of coach you want. you're a real martial artist Jesse you didnt slack or let your ego get bruised you just kept listening and immediately applying.
If you could, a collab with Bas Rutten would be insane. I feel like he’d have alot to teach regarding hard style Karate applications in MMA. You also just seem like you two would get along really well.
Agreed ! He should do his Conditioning and power workout !
Everyone gets along with Bas
Dude is awesome in every way
Please collab with El Guapo!!
next podcast with bas "so the story of how i KO'd a swedish guy with a palm strike"
🥇👑🥋 no corny comments, I am totally impressed with Sensei Enkamp’s courage to constantly go out of his comfort zone . I would have ran away after the second round of drills. Fan for life here!
You rock!! 🔥
Behind his natural sweetness there's a true warrior waiting to strike.
@@KARATEbyJesse I'd be more impressed if you got a fancy haircut like Francis :P
I couldn't agree more! Jesse san is a true samurai!
Absolutely wild to see someone as practiced and established as Jesse getting picked apart on all these tiny but important things. Really goes to show you can never stop learning.
Problem is katta, imagine karate without katta, how much more efficient it would be
Yeah, its kata showing the issues. It's amazing and beautiful, but like coach Dewey said its for showing off purpose, kinda. There has to be 1-2-3, not 1 and 2 then 3 in a fight. This is an amazing video even for regular people who dont train, because they maybe watched movies etc. and thinking pushing your leg back ( 17:44 ) or leaning back could be more powerful "active the power from hips and push the world away with legs" phrase, but its not, you're splitting your power where you WILL need it. That jab correction was also great. Dewey and MJW are amazing.
His teachers are some units. Michael Jai is serious and anyone he trains with is serious
This has to be one of thee greatest training videos ever. So many gems are dropped each second.
Really love seeing Jesse be so humble throughout this process. He came, learned, and kicked butt!
Just doing what I love!
@@KARATEbyJesseDoing what you love requires more courage and dedication than you might imagine. Well done to you
Being coached by a guy like coach Dewey while Michael Jai White is chiming in from the sidelines is a fighter's dream come true. A magnificent, very informative video once again, Jesse! Thank you and keep up the great work! 🙏👑🙌🔥💪👊
I want this man as my coach 7 days a week! Dropping truth left and right, and no BS!
Jesse is like Goku, always learning and training from different masters. Good stuff mate
Goku had like 3 masters. Hardly an appropriate comparison.
@@mathewpercy3292
Goku had a LOT more than just 3 masters. Off top of my head:
Grandpa Gohan
Roshi
Korin
Popo
Kami
King Kai
The Yardratian who taught him instant transmission
Whis
I’m sure I forgot a few so please feel free to add to the list
@@alexanderren1097 a man of culture, I see.
You can add the other angel who teached him to control the UI, the boy one from the galactic patrol. I can't remember his name.
@@mathewpercy3292Master Gohan, Master Roshi, Master Mutiato, Popo, Korin, Kami, King Kai, Whis, Galactic Patrol Angel. I mean that's not 3 masters... that's 9. And he's trained with them all during his entire life. You're either not a fan of DBZ or you just want to be a contrarian. So in other words, yeah Goku is a great comparison to the guy who's training under different schools of Martial arts.
Edit: Actually 10 because there was the Yardratian that taught him instant transmission.
Love him or not, I like the coach's teachings and I understand how the environment you grow can change you and how it is also about the individual person. We all have a choice and for you, Sensie Jesse, you were a true martial artist in here. The amount of patience, hard work, dedication and willing to learn more just inspired me even more. Thank you for all the hard work you do! There is only one JESSE ENKAMP and that is you! Keep shinning bright, brother!
Thanks for your kind words! 🌟
Coach Dewey’s intensity and passion for the martial arts is inspiring. I would love to work with him for a day.
He's one of a kind!
There is so many gems in this video I like how Dewey Cooper and Michael Jai White corrected your jab when you were hitting mitts. The knowledge those guys have.. id ask a million questions
Deweys energy is contagious. One of the best striking coaches in the MMA game
So much love for coach Dewey, incredible mindset, insight and his attention to detail in technique is why he's a real G! Well done Jesse, always takes balls and heart to get in the ring. Big respect and love from the UK
I appreciate that!
Good coach! High energy, very encouraging, funny and motivating. And man oh man, Jesse really knows how to blend styles and be in the moment. I love that he's always a student first and a teacher second. So many martial arts instructors just stop learning. Not Jesse! Zero ego and fearless!
He will definitely become great at blending styles. Excited to see how his martial arts grows and shapes itself in the time to come. His reliance and tendency to fall back on his karate is kinda funny though. Funny cause it’s not bad just so stereotypical of the karate practitioner and why some martial arts like to tease em. Very regimented and clean kata are great for discipline and strengthening movements, but that same idea of repeat this monotonous process a million times until it’s engrained as muscle memory is both it’s strength and it’s weakness. Like coach Dewey said. That tendency to fall right back into form rather than follow up or stay moving makes them too predictable. Which Jesse will either need to learn to make those openings into weapons/traps. Or close his off by learning to stop creating them or having answers to guard them if he does
That’s where that blending will come into play too. He doesn’t need to answer it with Karate but he also shouldn’t throw away what he’s trained just because it has gaps. Just learn to fill in the gaps. Exactly why live training is different. More Muay Thai/boxing medium speed sparring will be the best way to get there until he fights again
This is the ultimate truth! Be a white belt student in your mind in all of your life! If you feel that you are in safe space in the current fighting style, you have to left, and learn something new.
As an ex kyokushin practitioner that is training kickboxing/chuteboxe for almost an year now, I can relate so much with what Jesse has been doing! Very cool, bro 💪🏼
I remember the first time I got hit and the room started spinning. Thankfully I was able to see the fight through to the end even though I lost. You've inspired me to get back into training. It's been a few months for me since I did
You spent years developing your karate training and let it become muscle memory. One time or two times training MMA isn't going to erase all that and your match, hopefully, proved that to you. You got the basic understandings of how things work, but you need to reshape your muscle memory for it to truly pay dividends for you. Love your videos so much and your willingness to understand and learn.
Jesse, I just wanted to say I think this was a very impactful video for both yourself and the karate nerd community. As long as I’ve followed you, it’s so apparent that your skills as a martial artist are developing to be a force to be acknowledged. That being said, I know you have been training a lot in other styles to grow your skill base and I just want to say; don’t for one second think that your Karate is weak in today’s world. To be honest, I think your Karate has even gotten better by doing this cross training. I think you are one of the top examples of someone who has taken Karate’s lessons and made sense of them in the modern day world; very similar to the likes of some of the other greats like Lyoto Machida.
I say this only because I don’t want to see any doubt creep into your mind that your Karate training has been for not. I’ve learned so much from you and it’s shown in my personal training. It’s so easy for us today with all of the options available to “overflow our cup” with knowledge and I particularly loved in this video that there was a time when you were being coached at the gym and the body was so tired, talking was no longer an option. I think there is a deeper lesson there that all of us as martial artists can learn from.
I agree. The self-defense aspects of karate cannot be shown on a mat neither
Man I love coach Dewey. His mentality is top tier. But all my props to Jesse for continuing to grow as a martial artist and taking the lessons in stride always getting better and always willing to learn. thank you for showing us we can too , Jesse!
Jesse Enkamp is the real life version of the Street Fighter 6 World Tour protagonist. Much respect.
These videos are very interesting to me because I did almost 10 years of sports karate (Wado ryu) and for the last 5 years, I've been practicing traditional Shotokan. I have a great sensei who also started in sports karate in the 80s and learned the hard way. So everything I see in these videos holds true to what traditional karate teaches me. Kumite without dropping or cocking the other hand, every move comes from the core (even though it looks like it comes from the hips, that's just a superficial view) while the body is firmly grounded. It took me a while to understand that there are much fewer differences between the styles or even different martial arts than there are between sports training/fighting vs the traditional way. Also, all of this stuff that we modern martial artists have 'discovered' in the last 2 decades is old knowledge, and only our understanding/interpretation has evolved and deepened. Going back to the source but with different eyes and armed with a modern approach towards healthy training, not brutal force and endless repetition, which is fine when you're young, but then you get old and realize you destroyed your knees and joints and can't train any longer.
Keep it up Jesse!
The most beautiful part of this episode was the last speech of the trainer. Nobody is special. You have to work for it. It's about the fire.
A lot of people are talking about talents and how they are a part of you. They say that talents ask less effort than other skills. In my opinion that vision creates a fixed mindset. Like the trainer says: everybody has a 100% of potential. Passion for something drives us to do things. Not talent. The paradigm of talent makes us lazy and put people in a mode waiting on the moment when prosper things falling out of the sky.
Working hard so you don't have to be dependent of anything. That's the message,in my opinion, the trainer gives. And that is something where others can learn from.
Man, they really gave you a hard time and pushed you to your limits. So much respect for the way you dealt with that and took everything on board. Also, great fight! You showed some warrior spirit right there. No shame in losing when you gave it your all.
You stand up in the ring. You fought. You learn. You share. Winning or losing is irrelevant. The knwoledge adquiered is yours. I really respect you and your search. You give Karate a good name. Oss!
Here after Ngannou boxing fight. Respect to this man. Respect to you Jesse for this videos.
This is such a wonderful lesson, these guys would make a world-class fighter just about from anybody
Super awesome video, thank you so much. I am a Shotokan Karate practitioner (2nd Dan) and doing Muay Thai for around two months now. I see quite some parallels in our styles. My Muay Thai coach is constantly telling me to flow more, be less stiff with my punches and get to the target directly. While Karate teaches you many very good things, there are definitely some flaws to it. Therefore, I think it is absolutely crucial to be open and try out new styles in order to become a better martial artist and athlete 🙏🥋
Karate has too much emphasis in balance and spreading the impact, that doesn't matter with gloves and wraps, it also doesn't matter if the guy is knocked out because it is a controlled 1v1, hence MJW correcting Jesse's jab!
This is a great informative video and the instructors are awesome saying and explaining things you never think of or care about but after they explain, it makes so much sense , smart men 👏 👍.
You know, it says a lot about the character of a man, who can put himself in a position to show a level of vulnerability, to set aside his ego, and to publicly show where he is making mistakes and learning. You could’ve edited this video to show you looking good, without the adjustments you had to make as you were learning. But you didn’t. And you stepped in the ring and it wasn’t to be a win for you.
But it doesn’t matter, because you’re a good guy, and a role model for others. You’re winning dude!
Respect to you!
Also, you had Black Dynamite there giving you advice! How awesome!
Can't wait to train with you in Australia next month! 💪🏽💪🏽
Likwise!
Dude! As a practicioner, i really love your work, the way you aproach, the respect and how humble you are. These videos are such a great content!
Jesse could you make a video series detailing the history of ALL martial arts, covering their origins, different variations and how they are connected? The series would make very interesting content and there is an abundance of information to make many videos from. I know there would be no better channel than yours to do this 👊🥋🥊
All? Do you have any idea how long that would take? Forget about researching, the video length even abridged would be insane.
@@cadkls Okay all is definitely an over exaggeration.
@@No_step_on_snake No it really isn't. Do you know how many martial arts there are? Spoiler alert, there are hundreds.
It takes hours and hours of research to make a documentary a few hours long on just one. And documentaries are not comprehensive either.
thoughout these more than 10 years of watching you , you have brought me great lessons, standing here in this fight, a bit vulnerable because it is not your main martial art, and facing an oponent with rules you don´t master, it is a great example for all of us to follow! great video Jesse, thank you for connecting me back to martial arts every time I see your videos
Love seeing the humbleness from Jesse. Martial Arts is a beautiful journey, it’s endless, he’s not just evolving as a fighter, but as a person, mind, body and soul also.
"You kick my balls a little bit" lmao i'm dying
This is my favorite video out of all the ones you've made so far. So much for us to learn and watching you grow too while trained was heart-warming
Im sure it was exhausting and mentally tiring having to change what you know but beautiful knowledge from the coach as well as Michael. So much information in one video, its insane. I respect you for pushing on and also taking the fight! Much respect Karate Nerd!!
Thank you for sharing Jesse. Never easy getting taught this way but very beneficial for the martial artist! Great video!
I appreciate that you can put yourself out there like this and show everything uncut. Well done and thank you for the videos.
This was a great one Jesse. Props to Coach Cooper and that balance of intensity & holding his students to a high standard while still being encouraging. & Props to Jesse for showing us this part of his journey -- including and especially the corrections / stumbles. Great stuff -- inspiring all around 👍
Man, my deepest admiration to your comitment to martial arts, the humblenes to listen and accept all the corrections to your technique after all the years u have been practicing it it's a real example for all of us
Jesse that took fucking courage! You truly have the warrior mindset of always being the student. Some of the best martial art content on the platform
This was an exceptional video. The quote at the end was amazing too, very happy you included that!
Coach Dewey is such a great coach and it was so fun to see how you were training with him. Amazing video, love it. Thank you!
Osu Sensei! Watching you train fires me up. Im still a novice but I'm getting there. Coach Dewey Cooper was amazing! Those insights clearly come from a ton of experience. I learnt a lot from this video.
Thank you. Deep bow!
Wow this video deserves a rewatch its a training montage with at the heart of it an awesome lesson. Thanks Jesse, great to see you pushing the bounds as always
Love this video! So much knowledge in such a short amount of time. That training was intense, I'd love to give that a try! Great job, Jesse!
This may be my favorite video you’ve made
Wow, thank you!
Im taking a lot of notes from this session. It’s all gold, thank you everyone!!
Love the message at the end. Great video, thanks for sharing this with the world.
this clip is gold, an amazing coach and very valuable sharing by Michael.
No importa ganar o perder, lo importante es que sos un guerrero y te subiste a intentarlo. Y como artista marcial siempre intentas superarte y no anclarte en una sola visión. Jesse sos un gran karateca. Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷 Oss 🥋
What an inspiring coach, wow. Its kinda hard getting our karate ways rocked like this, but its also kinda healthy. Learned some stuff just from this short vid. Had to rewatch it as soon as it ended.
They teaching jesse karate applications
Its just hea never done it this way before

Just shown slightly different stuff
Best Video! Thanks for sharing!
This is such great content, love everyone and their input here. This video made me so happy 🤙🏼
What a great coach, cool stuff!
Thanks!
Another great video Jesse, would you ever consider writing a book about karate and your journey with it? I'd be interested to read something like that.
great vid and great effort, thank you sir.
Love you man, willing to put yourself out there and test yourself on something 99% of other BB's and Karate instructors wouldn't. Loved watching this. You have my respect and admiration. I love your work and get so much from it.
Your full contact matches are getting more and more impressive every time you decide to be part of one. I found your kicks to be incredible here and you got great eyes too. If you decide to practice throwing hands better I believe you ll evolve into an even greater fighter. I really like your channel. Be well!
Great title Jesse. I will enjoy your video :D
Hope you enjoy it!
@@KARATEbyJesse thank you for your reply I am a huge fan of your videos. I have binge watched all of your content in the last 2 weeks and your China series in search of ancient karate really touched me.
Please keep up your great content.
Thx Jesse. 🤩 Keep on showing us this huge world of Martial Arts!
So, much learned. One of your best YT vids. Thank you, Sensei.
This was a great video congratulations on some stellar content. Nice job getting in ring putting yourself to test.
Full credit to you, Jesse! You're awesome! True warrior 👏👊🙏
One of the best videos I've seen by you !
Great video Jesse! Very inspirational! win, loose or draw you learn and you’re gracious enough to share your journey with us, braver than most of us.
An absolute Master Class.Your videos are inspirational as well as educational. We are fortunate that you keep making them.
I have watched 3 of your videos man and you have some really great content here. Love it.
You put a serious effort on what you do. And always in a humble way. You have my respect. Keep up the good work.
Amazing video, coach Coopers tips and adjustments abound. That’s just the start, keep on towards internalising and always improving. What a blessed session and bravo putting it to the test. Review, practice and thrive.
Jesse you did an excellent job soaking up this feedback and implementing it. You have no ego and take criticism in stride. It's a very impressive trait.
Wonderful video!
I really do appreciate what you three Guys are doing in behalf of a humanity-strengthen-martial-arts in your dojo, mma-studio and your videos and movies. Thanks for that-especially for your hints on hip turning, footwork and speed-modifying zukis. Thanks out of my 30-years-karate-heart. Rüdiger
Great video, Jesse. Interesting guest and motivional message. Just keep going💪💪🥋🏆
This whole video is a huge resource for beginner fighters. Amazing advice. Tyvm great content.❤
Nice job. So glad u had the post telling ppl to watch the vid cuz I watched 3/4 of the vid when it released but had to go somewhere & RUclips cleared it instead of leaving vid up, ready to go when I had time to watch again, so I forgot until I saw post.
Watched the rest just now. Nice work. Perhaps next 1 will go your way. Cool to test yourself
Thanks a million. Your attitude to learning and humbleness are very inspirational. You are not only showing martial arts but also the art of living.
Outstanding video, Sensei. I think my heart would stop about 15 minutes into that workout, but it'd be worth it just to have hung with coach Dewey. Whoever is fortunate enough to have him for a coach is truly blessed.
What a masterpiece! This Video helps me alot. I am really glad finding your channel!
Great video and honestly great content recently, great to see you in more combat sports, can't wait for the next one
This was Excellent! No BS, everything real and correct. Hats off to all of you
Love the final message! And great work Jesse
Oh man that is frustrating, after so much training! Bravo Jesse, keep it up. Very inspiring to see you trying to build up from a karate base. Bless you.
You are such a badazz...love your videos. Keep 'em coming, and keep on exploring!
The last words from Dewey really said something, what a motivation speech. Man, that was inspirational. Thanks, Jesse for this.
I admire ur will to explore! Courageous and tenacious! Great work Jesse.... U r evolving fantastically. Wish u all the best and keep up the great work!
More and more I respect you as a martial artist as I see your content. You're open to scrutiny and learning without holding onto biases or pre-learned notions. Being teachable I think is one of the most important aspects in how to become a good fighter, it's very common to see people arrive into combat gyms touting their previous experiences and know-how. And have a 'back & forth' attitude when being shown things, like they have something to teach the teacher in their class.
You listen & learn and then apply that to your skillset in a way that works and flows for you most naturally.
Unfortunately it's a lot of posers and frauds in the teaching/online space of learning combat for sport or self defence. You are certainly one of the good ones.
Love & respect 💪🏽
(P.s. - bad luck w the fight, it looked like you still had more to give, but I guess it's not that kind of a tournament to let it push too far - I've always found success with the karate side kick in sparring Muay Thai also, it works well as a poke to keep distance, there's no Muay Thai equivalent that utilises the same amount of range and it definitely outstretches the teep. Next time use it as a poking tool - try to use it to control space and lead your opponent to the ropes. Just don't do it lazily or repetitively, keep it snappy & with a good in/out motion & it will be hard to punish)
Jesse is the best. Another video that is just amazing. Awesome job. You are among the best ambassadors for martial arts. Love your channel, love your work, huge fan our your skills. I very much enjoy watching you and learning from you. Love it! Thank you for this video. The best!!!
Some of the best coaching I've seen ever... this guy is 100% serious, love it, and Jesse is a true martial artist being humble enough to take this instruction.
Man... First off, Kudos Jesse for your courage and humility (and great performance!). And the coach.... some of the best, simplest, clearest advice on fighting. And a great personality. MJW is fantastic too. Awesome video!
This is Amazing !!! I don't think there's video like this, out there with great legends giving their advises.
This is your best video yet dude! Great stuff!
