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.
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.
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.
@@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.
@@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
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.
"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.
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.
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.
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 ❤❤❤🙏
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 👊🏼
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.
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 ;)
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.
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.
Jesse enkamp, I love your work and the topics you choose for showing us. Thank you very much. Complementas a la perfección el aprendizaje o la enseñanza del camino de la mano vacía. Please visit México.
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.
Thanks for sharing Jesse sensei. Here in America our dojo has practiced similar conditioning techniques. I haven't seen much of this practice here in the States. Again, thanks for sharing. Ossu!
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!!
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
This was a basic training routine from my late sensei. And to supplement this kind of training we could optionally drink a chilies and cloves mixture juice to help bones hardening
Well,i got to say that you do know how to give respect & get respect.and yes,emptying of the mind is only possible when you are 'one' with the other.very deep video.
@@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
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.
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.
Oss sensei. Once I attempted a seminar organised by my teacher and world champion Sensei Takishi Yamaguchi came to India for teaching us. While we were training he came to me for correcting my punch. Then he told me to hit his stomach hard. So I did. Then he said Harder. And when I did. His abs felt like steel to me. It was so hard. So I guess training is the key. And patients will let us to success. 😊😊 oss sensei
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.
Hi Jesse, happy new year ! I love all the videos you post ! it's so interesting and i'm learning a lot ! i also practice Karate and i have one request :) can you please Make a videos for each styles of Karate? i'm practicing Wado ryu style and i really would like to know more about it have a great one Karate Nerd :)
Hey Jesse, my karate nerd dude. Happy new year to you and your family, especially to your karate mom of who I think is the grandmaster sensei of the school. I was thinking about you also when I was on vacation and here’s the most main part that’s cool: I was at a Japanese cafe for lunch a few days ago with my family that served up some ramen or rice bowls with meat and veggies. And I shared with my family of what I learned from your previous Okinawa videos of you having the steak and that Japanese word of awesome. Well thanks for the memo that’s easy to learn. Take it easy for now and I hope your UA-cam and karate career gets better in the year of 2019 and beyond. :) Talk to you later. BTW, nice video of yours you just posted.
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!

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.
That arm conditioning looks brutal. Takes it to another level.
I always admire Uechi Ryu Karate for their body conditioning.
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.

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 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.

Correct! Thank you 🙏
Excellent job uechi ryu , thanks.
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
All these exercises we do in Goju-ryu karate Shodokan lineage as part of kote kitae.
It hurts just to watch! 😱👏👏👏👏

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
Thank you Jesse. This video help to improve my body power.And to control pain..

Thanks Jesse ;)
after watching your channel for quite a long time, fascinating so have taken the plunge and will be soon starting classes
That is a good quote "pain is just weakness leaving the body".

As always, entertaining with a special lesson involved.
Jesse could you make a video covering the dangers of this kind of conditioning, how useful it is, and what unspoken negatives it has on the body.
Haha
Amazing video as always Jesse !
Heyyyy a new video by jesse san. Thank you
My pleasure! 😄
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.

We did similar conditioning drills years ago when I studied American Kenpo; made it that much easier when I switched to Kyokushin.
This training is good for me and my students
can you cover this topic for beginners in more detail?
Another great video! Thank you Jesse! These conditioning techniques look like they will really help a lot.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
MR. JESSE
Osu!!!!!
Jesse san can you do a kokutsu dachi tutorial and tips ?please.
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

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
Fantastic drills, thanks for the video
I like this a lot cause its very simple and straight forward.
Great video. It's interesting to discover that kind of exercises for truly useful purposes.
Yes!! Finally a new video! 👏🏻👏🏻 And very interesting body conditioning 🤔
Happy new year Jesse san!

I wait for this for Lang time because I watch all yours video
Jesse! Do a lot of Okinawan style training incorporate cardiovascular conditioning as well?
No
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 💪👊😎🔥👍
If you listen you can actually hear how hard there arms & legs are WOW!
In our school of ju-jutsu (a mix with with brazilian jiu jitsu and japanese ju jutsu) we practice this type of conditionning
Oss sensei. Once I attempted a seminar organised by my teacher and world champion Sensei Takishi Yamaguchi came to India for teaching us. While we were training he came to me for correcting my punch.

Thx for the new video, have been w8ing for so long :)
That was interesting!… you are a great sensei......

Wow impressive! Nice video!

Thank you
Very Nice karate ji
Other than makiwara in shotokan is there this type of conditioning in shotokan?
Thanks for posting this up. In your opion Is there a certain age or rank that this should be introduced?
i loved it ! , is that a kyokunshin version or is it just similar?
That looks very similar to conditioning drills done in some style of Pentjak Silat.
What is conditioning called in Japanese? Is it called Kitai?
Nice 👍 video 🙂📸
I practice this since 1976
Thank you for sharing this
I’ve been waiting for your next video 🙂
Awesome! Stay tuned for more! 💪
