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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
Many martial arts aren’t taught in a fighting aspect but more of a fitness/sporting aspect. You hit for points and technique matters. In training for fighting, technique changes to generate power and develop better defense.
It's not about the difference between arts and fighting, it's there are a lot of ways to do it, ways that also evolve and change locally, historically etc.

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.
@NoirMC187 Plus, every fight was a lesson because he got stronger every fight! I gotta watch some of the new'ish" episodes I was watching during 97 thru 2000 I've seen clips on the tube but I gotta do marathon from Dragon Ball to the GT series
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
Of all the great content you’ve put out, I think this probably is the most valuable and important one. No BS, no pseudo philosophical posturing, just functional, pragmatic, real-life fighting curriculum.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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
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
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!
You are a humble man, brother, that keeps you and us learning from your experience. Exposing your flaws and learning in front of us is what makes myself and so many others respect you so much. You are learning, we are learning and let me tell you, the last bit of the video about the light we all have inside is so true. He’s a great coach no doubt. Another special video from 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.
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!
Jesse! I have a genuine request. The last bit from the the video from 25:00 and onwards should be made into an instagram reel. I want to show my student that clip it’s insanely inspirational ❤️🙏🏻
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 👊🥋🥊
@@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.
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 🥋
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
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.
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!!
Coaches like this or even fellow students/practitioner's are always my favorite to train with. They keep thing's fun and interactive but still will make you push yourself as hard as possible to get better and will celebrate with you whenever you succeed and will remain humble even whenever you fail. This is the definition of tough love, I expect more people to be like this, there's nothing more inspirational than this
I'm glad this seemed to be a humbling experience. All that karate muscle memory really showed here and they read it a mile away. Even Michael was watching your stance that whole time.
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.
Man what a good coach! That was some of the best in depth beginner coaching ive seen. He was super easy on ya but thsts perfect to start. I really liked hos attention to detail but unwillingness to overload you with the fine stuff. Just perfect.
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.
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!
@@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.

Sensei Jesse is so awesome. You are a true martial artist. Taking such a critical style of teaching is not so easy to understand. I commend you Jesse. Well done
the way this video's ending was, going back to a flashback of Coach after the fight and the intense experience and listening to his words..... that moment right there captured the spirit of martial arts, its the reason why so many men and women in the world practice and devote themselves to this. Amazing work sir.
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 👏 👍.
Amazing stuff, I've been watching a lot of Jesse's videos lately and this is the one where i felt the trainer was providing most insights and where Jesse felt most like a beginner

Also, you had Black Dynamite there giving you advice! How awesome!
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! 🌟
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 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.
@NoirMC187 Plus, every fight was a lesson because he got stronger every fight! I gotta watch some of the new'ish" episodes I was watching during 97 thru 2000 I've seen clips on the tube but I gotta do marathon from Dragon Ball to the GT series
I love coach Dewey he’s spitting facts left right and centre. No BS and humble Allhumduliah (thankfully)
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!
Of all the great content you’ve put out, I think this probably is the most valuable and important one. No BS, no pseudo philosophical posturing, just functional, pragmatic, real-life fighting curriculum.
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!
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.
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.
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
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
Deweys energy is contagious. One of the best striking coaches in the MMA game
This guy's awesome. Love his intensity and knowledge.
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!
Dewey Cooper is one of those Coaches who’s the real deal and a positive light in the world. Thanks for sharing 🙏
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
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
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!
You are a humble man, brother, that keeps you and us learning from your experience. Exposing your flaws and learning in front of us is what makes myself and so many others respect you so much. You are learning, we are learning and let me tell you, the last bit of the video about the light we all have inside is so true. He’s a great coach no doubt. Another special video from Jesse.
I appreciate that 🌟
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.
Yes Sir!!
What a great coach! Watching this video is insightful, and a lot to learn. Thanks for posting it.
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
Wow, the immense amount of information being conveyed is staggering! 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!
Incredible trainer. Funny, motivational and incredibly knowledgeable!!
Can't wait to train with you in Australia next month! 💪🏽💪🏽
Likwise!
One of the best videos I've seen by you !
Jesse! I have a genuine request. The last bit from the the video from 25:00 and onwards should be made into an instagram reel. I want to show my student that clip it’s insanely inspirational ❤️🙏🏻
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.
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 🥋
That is indeed incredible, fight training at different level. Congratulation Jesse for going through the process.
Thank you!
This may be my favorite video you’ve made
Wow, thank you!
Mr Cooper gives great advice! Universal "mistakes" people have with their technique. Giving same advice every coaching workdays.
What a great coach, cool stuff!
Thanks!
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
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.
This....was awesome.
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!!
Coaches like this or even fellow students/practitioner's are always my favorite to train with. They keep thing's fun and interactive but still will make you push yourself as hard as possible to get better and will celebrate with you whenever you succeed and will remain humble even whenever you fail. This is the definition of tough love, I expect more people to be like this, there's nothing more inspirational than this
Thank you for sharing Jesse. Never easy getting taught this way but very beneficial for the martial artist! Great video!
I'm glad this seemed to be a humbling experience. All that karate muscle memory really showed here and they read it a mile away. Even Michael was watching your stance that whole time.
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.
These guys are awesome.
Im taking a lot of notes from this session. It’s all gold, thank you everyone!!
Man what a good coach! That was some of the best in depth beginner coaching ive seen. He was super easy on ya but thsts perfect to start. I really liked hos attention to detail but unwillingness to overload you with the fine stuff. Just perfect.
That guy is the best teacher I have ever seen
Thank you very much!
That coach is absolutely awesome! I love his energy and teaching style! Keeps you amped up the whole time!
"You kick my balls a little bit" lmao i'm dying
This coach is awesome. Vibes imaculate
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.
Thanks for posting this! Very enjoyable to watch. Coming from someone who's felt your pain before many times! Thanks again!
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!
This coach is amazing. Really loved the episode. I would love to know more about him
Michael Jai is just a definition of a master.
This was Excellent! No BS, everything real and correct. Hats off to all of you
Mjw as my coach is a personal dream.
jesse, you are one of the most humble and inspirational people i have ever come across
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.
Wow Dewey is an incredible wealth of knowledge. I enjoyed this immensely. See you in NZ soon Jesse!
Mad props for putting yourself out there like that. In any field of life growth usually doesn't occur easily or without humility.
Awesome video ❤🎉
Hi Jesse,
I just finished reading your interview for Yashima, the french MA magazine... Bravo!
Wow, thank you!
This is your best video yet dude! Great stuff!
Much respect Jesse, they had you in some tough spots, emotionally and physically…well done
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.
Sensei Jesse is so awesome. You are a true martial artist. Taking such a critical style of teaching is not so easy to understand. I commend you Jesse. Well done
This guy is so fortunate to have both of these guys helping and critiquing his form
the way this video's ending was, going back to a flashback of Coach after the fight and the intense experience and listening to his words..... that moment right there captured the spirit of martial arts, its the reason why so many men and women in the world practice and devote themselves to this. Amazing work sir.
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 👏 👍.
Amazing stuff, I've been watching a lot of Jesse's videos lately and this is the one where i felt the trainer was providing most insights and where Jesse felt most like a beginner
This was an exceptional video. The quote at the end was amazing too, very happy you included that!
Amazing what you win when you lose an ego.
Well done awesome.
Great épisode great message from this coach great lessons from this coach lot of knowledge from this coach and you great job with your fight!
Great video
Love that coaching
All that sage wisdom in 1 day
He pushed you to your limits without breaking you down, rather lifting you up
That's a great coach
You gotta go back there
