Jesse, thanks for writing a thank you note to me. My reason for watching your vids are because you explain your daily topics very well. But also you prepare your viewers with some of the nuances they might not learn in a short training format like yours. Peace.
I started kyokushin im a new i train it like a 3 months or so. Bro it hurts 😅 we jus stand and punch ourselves.
I think now you're an orange belt or maybe blue
@@rouhinpodder3271 nah I was a white belt and I still punched a yellow belt
@@smallboto great👍
No pain no gain, bro.

"An ant can never defeat a lion" Strength and conditioning is just as if not more important than technique training. Most people will lose fights because they can't take a hit, sometimes a person can't even handle their own recoil, because their fists are not conditioned properly and hurt themselves when throwing a punch.
People that never fought before dont realize how fast you gas out on wasted energy and how much you expend if you dont know how to breathe
I studied Uechi-Ryu for years as a teenager in the 90s. We started every class with these drills. Also our Sensei would strike various parts of our body while performing Sanchin kata. I study Shito-Ryu with my son now and he and I are the only ones in the dojo who do these conditioning drills. I've tried to get some of the other adult students to join me in it before class starts but no luck yet.
That's a shame, being able to take a punch is part of fighting
@@ubcroel4022 True. But my main motivation for doing it is so my forearms don't get bruised and beat up while blocking strikes. Also, it partly turns my blocks into strikes, since my forearms are more conditioned than my training partners'. I see them wince when I block them and all I can think of is I've tried to get them to do the same conditioning as well.
@@OccamsRazor76Any luck, or are they still reluctant?
@@OccamsRazor76for somebody that starts as a wimp (like me, no training) would you recommend any solo exercise to condition arms and legs without breaking them?
@@mirkobertocco608 you can do knuckles push ups it's very effective to reinforce them, I strike my wooden cabinet with my elbows, fists, but gently as I recently started conditioning (almost shito ryu yellow belt BTW)
I saw a video of a guy beating his shin with a wooden stick, and rubbing it against the skin, you could probably do the same to your thighs
Even after being a shotokan Karateka we practice drills similar to this as we believe styles should never stop you from growing as a martial artist... Oss Sensei.
theres only one karate... oss
This is kote kitae, we practice this in goju ryu shobukan. It really hurts, but it's a nice sensation when you know that you are going stronger.
Karate ASMR
That arm conditioning looks brutal. Takes it to another level.
This looks a lot like Kyokushin conditioning. I like the answer of no mind, it's very true. It never hurts less it's just your ability to not focus on it gets better.
Kyokushin has this style of conditioning, pretty brutal
exactly
My hands bleeding from conditioning
Ik sob it hurts 😭😭
They learned it from Uechi
When I started kyokushin I couldn't move for a week
I always admire Uechi Ryu Karate for their body conditioning.
It hurts just to watch! 😱👏👏👏👏
My instructor in Memphis back in the 90s taught "iron body"...we never used pads. He taught us to stay calm when struck and be able to discern the difference between PAIN and INJURY. With pain, it's just a sinsation (mushin remains) and we push through...only with injury, or the immediate potential for it, does the "plan" need to change.
You also tense the body just before the strike contacts you, muscle tension is key along with proper breathing emphasizing exhale. Inhalations are brief and quick, exhales are stronger and more forceful. Dont take hits while inhaling.
Practice Sanshin kata (Goju Kai, Goju Ryu) also which is all about the breath (emphasizing exhaling) and muscle tensing. If you combine these methods and then add in breakfalls (slapouts like in Judo) in a few weeks your body will be much stronger and able to receive strikes without much effect.
First of all jesse sensei, thankyou very much for knx18. I will never forget the last few days. The moment you asked Uechi about a mindset, i knew mushin would come up. Mushin is personally what i believe is the key to martial arts after my own experience. For anyone reading this, i personally was at the end of uechi-senseis conditioning at this seminar - he is like a tree. My arms are still bruised and i am so excited to have discovered such a powerful martial artist. He kept things so simple and relaxed, but he is an indominatable karateka.
Thank you my friend, hope to train together soon again! Happy new year 🎉
Really love this part of old school Karate! I think I saw you perform this exercise once in Okinawa with a grandmaster? Thanks for sharing Jesse sensei 👊🏼
Correct! Thank you 🙏
I have studied "Kung Fu" with my sifu almost daily for years when we did the "stomach punches" together.I wanted to be careful for I had to build up myself just to survive his classes. He compared me to the professor in the Chuck Norris movies, so I wanted to be careful. After we got done He noticed the red spot didn't go away. And for the next couple of hours we would laugh and he would pull up his shirt and say," Look at this, its still red!" the problem was I didn't want to hurt him so I thought I was pulling my punches , but in reality I was doing internal punching.
How do you breath when taking those punches to the stomach?
“Keep practicing”
More like *keep torturing until become harder than steel*
Jesse Enkamp sir If you want to know more about body conditioning you just go to a well known kyokushin karate dojo.a full contact karate dojo
Been there done that 😄
Do you really know who you are talking to?
Kyokushin conditioning is no match for Uechi Ryu's.
Safdar Kh apparently some shithead with only 9 subscribers😂😂😂🤣🤣😝😝😝
@@ctaukus9146 you can not be a karate student if you are using abusive words.the first thing we learned in our dojo is to respect.but you cannot understand that your parents didn't told you about respect
Very similar to what we call "Kote Kitae" in Shorei-Kan system, except for the part of striking abdomen. But I'm probably going to introduce it in my solo-training.
Thanks Jesse ;)
All these exercises we do in Goju-ryu karate Shodokan lineage as part of kote kitae.
Heyyyy a new video by jesse san. Thank you
My pleasure! 😄
Jesse san can you do a kokutsu dachi tutorial and tips ?please.
It's definitely the physical conditioning that makes everything very scary for an opponent. If you hit a guy a couple times and he isn't in pain, or at least not showing, you are going to fear getting hit which makes even a normal man's punch feel much more painful.
Normal day in Kyokushin class 😂
They should have also added face and groin conditioning training then it would be perfect.
Excellent job uechi ryu , thanks.
That is a good quote "pain is just weakness leaving the body".
I would rather kick and oak tree than try to kick one of these guys. This level of conditioning is incredible!
One thing I dont understand Jesse why block with arms bone to bone when a block could be a swipe and a twist?
When they hit each other it sounds like someone is chopping down trees.
That looks very similar to conditioning drills done in some style of Pentjak Silat.
If you listen you can actually hear how hard there arms & legs are WOW!
That looks brutal! Much respect. 🥋
Kanji uechi sensei is almost immovable, like he has replaced bones with iron. True representation of an awesome style. This is Gold. Thanks Alot for sharing this with us sensei ❤❤❤🙏
Gracias Sensei:Por la traducción, Muy buen video.
Anything like karate is never enjoyable at the time you are doing it. If you are not experiencing pain of some sort, you are not training to your full potential. The enjoyment comes after the training, and knowing that you have done your best and gotten the most out of the session. I always look at any bruising I've received at the dojo each night as a badge of honour.
Heyyyy Jessseeeee, muito legal o vídeo cara! Gosto cada vez mais do seu canal, ainda mais depois do seminário aqui no Brasil em Campinas!!! Nice Job, my favorite Karate Channel
Hmm there's another body conditioning method in shaolin martial art, they call it 铁布衫(iron shirt) or 金钟罩(golden bell cocoon), it makes the practitioners ridiculously invincible, well just like those shaolin monks can survive from spears and drillers kind of thing, it sounds incredibly ridiculous
So if I do enough conditioning I can become Iron Man?😂 The stomach conditioning looked super painful it made bloody knuckles look like child's play.
caption: (speak japanese)
wow that is totally helpful
What is conditioning called in Japanese? Is it called Kitai?
Great new video, Jesse!! May i grab the opportunity to wish you and yours all the very best for the upcoming new year?!! Let's make it a great one!! :)...OSU!
Thanks! Same to you my friend 🌟
Your efforts to make Karate is amazing. Love and respect from me Sensei hope to see you hold a seminar in India in future. Oss
Swear that beginning quote is from a film called this means war ? 😂
Is it just me or were they making some high level beat for karate rap v 2.0 BTW when are they adding you to karate do game
I think they already added him
I’m there bro
Thank you Jesse. This video help to improve my body power.And to control pain..
Does anybody know if this type of conditioning is safe from a medical point of view? For example makiwara can be harmful and cause arthritis, but since this is muscle conditioning I suppose it is safer, any thoughts?
The difference between medicine and poison is the dosing :-)
I want to get iron arms, I am currently brown belt white stripes in Shotokan, a single block, can paralyse your opponent, both in kumite, and in the street, especially when you have multiple attackers!
Jesse! Do a lot of Okinawan style training incorporate cardiovascular conditioning as well?
No
Amazing video as always Jesse !
Jesse sir, I think you meant Uechi Kanji is the 4th generation, great grandson of founder Uechi Kanbum. The grandfather of Uechi Kanji was Uechi Kanei, son of Uechi Kanbum. Great videos! I hope you keep up your travels and videos. Best wishes.
Hey guys i just got a makiwara and i punching it till my knuckles blisters and gets sore then i stopped and wait it for to heal am i conditioning my knuckles right??
Push ups on knuckles on hard wood floors helps as well
No you are never supposed to break skin! You are increasing rehab time as well as not getting the full result as this type of conditioning takes many years.
Im pretty sure u stop after blistering coz after that is too much and causes bad injurys
In our school of ju-jutsu (a mix with with brazilian jiu jitsu and japanese ju jutsu) we practice this type of conditionning
Any idea how old those guys are?and how long they have been “conditioning” in this way?
I don't know about their age but it's sure that they're doing these from s long time to make their body a weapon
Jesse-san, good video. Nobody does karate like the Okinawans! I was in Okinawa last week and went to visit the museum there at the Karate Kaikan. I think I saw you walking down the hill.
Good,,,
I have the hability to attain mushin every time i have a test for the university that i have being studying for all year... :(
Jokes aside, mushin and the other mental states are a very interesting topic for videos
Hah! Yup, thanks for the feedback 😄
The way he smiled when Jesse asked for mindset, explained evrything.W mushin🗿.Can u tell me how to condition my fists tho?
Our dojo has definitely "Borrowed" these techniques 😁 I can hear my students start groaning as soon as I mention conditioning.
We did similar conditioning drills years ago when I studied American Kenpo; made it that much easier when I switched to Kyokushin.
The gym helps you get stronger but this conditioning is what makes you tougher
And it sounds like . 22 gunshots when they make contact, I LOVE IT!!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR
MR. JESSE
Osu!!!!!
You should do an episode demonstrating how to do Karate on a Wooden dummie. The kind typically used for Wing Chun.
Amazing.
I used to do something like that with my karate kids but in scale of 1 to 10. Uechi sensei is 10 and me and my students are may be in 3.
Thanks for sharing!!
Isn't this Shaolin steel jacket- effective against anything accept bullets!
It our kyokushin dojo, this happens everyday!
A block can also be a form of not just defence but also offence because if you’re well conditioned a hard block against an opponent who’s not trained will cause him to be in pain rendering him unable to continue.
Jesse.. You should have not interrupted them when they were about to show how to condition the upper body.. It would have been very beneficial to see. You should have also asked about how often to do these type of training and how to progress.
I wish I knew about these while I was in school 😂 my friends and I would probably do it
This training is good for me and my students
Mh body started paining just by watching this... 😅
Which is better for body conditioning slapping yourself and it stings or punching yourself and getting used to that?
after watching your channel for quite a long time, fascinating so have taken the plunge and will be soon starting classes
There was me expecting some made painful way off training but just getting hit and hitting easy
Awesome !!!!!
Всю жизнь тренируются и толком ни одного упражнения сделать не могут 🙄
full respect.thank you for wideo....wey wery good
3:55 it is real life ultra instinct they are talking about🤩🤩
Thank you for making me better fighter
It resembles the Kyokushinkai.
U can hear the impact and if ur wearing good headphones u can probably feel it a bit too
can you cover this topic for beginners in more detail?
i also do conditioning like than thank you sir
Hello Sensei Jesse (white wolf) ;)
You must know me from comments already :)
Since i started training with my grandfather "seriously" around 12 yo he taught me alot about pain and for example had a bunches of a bamboo sticks and i used them on whole body while i was training muay thay ocassionally but i think and from my practice,body is constructed this way that some kind of mental strenght will stay with as forever and skill to deal with pain as one of the body senses like smell hearing etc that body get softened back again after a while.
Most definitely 💪👊😎🔥👍
Other than makiwara in shotokan is there this type of conditioning in shotokan?
Not a man of many words for sure :)
But an outstanding karateka.
Can someone add oblivian music to the footage of them hitting eachother?
I bealive both body conditioning and having good stamina is nessary
Surely it would be harder to keep your arm stiff if it was in motion
Is there a way to self-practice this conditioning?
How many times a week should we do conditioning of body?
Yeah me first
Yay! 🌟
I’d like to see how you would use a 6ft Bo what katas u may know?
It's a Karateka massage
That’s a fun way to put it 😆
The one that looks most painful at least to me, is the hit to the inside part of the forearm
MUSHIN.. Empty your Mind.. or Empty your cup... Thank you Sensei Jessee.Oss.
Go to the kyokushin masters or sensei's and see what you think 🤔
I guess there is a secret not revealed for the question in minute 3:38 …
