#JAPANESE #日本語 - Навчання та стиль
First collab in 2021! 👊 Who should I film with next? 🥋
discipline and focus in karate meditation all time m❤️🙏🙏❤️😌 Thank you for your support 😌 sir ❤️🙏
I like cooperations with people of other martial arts. Like other japanese martial arts like judo, sumo and aikido or even kendo, but also foreign martial arts like kung fu or taekwondo.
I'd like to know about the etiquette in these martial arts and about similarities and differences to karate.
Osu
Great ideas!
Could you get Sakumoto sensei to speak about Ryuei-ryu?
Ow, if other martial arts are OK, then you should also do a collab with GNT or Ginger Ninja Trickster.
He is a very skilled martial artist, mostly know for his awesome kicking and great guy overall.
Tack så mycket. 😊
Some people call me “Hater sensei grandmaster chosen one”, it’s a humble abbreviated version of my true title “Hater Sensei Grandmaster Kuen Khru Shifu royal holiness, his majesty the impeccable, unapproachable, untouchable Chosen One the third.”
😂😂😂
extraordinarily humble
@@SenseiSeth I immediately thought of "Sensei" Seth when I saw the title of this video. xD
@@TheScienceGuy10 it is what it is 😂
Oooooooooosssss
I had a very similar conversation to this with a student of mine from Japan.
So fascinating to learn about this expression of honor and respect. It is indeed viewed differently in the US, where you’re not always taken seriously if you don’t attach a title of some sort to your name and belt.
You guys should Colab next it be awesome
Funny catching you in someone else's comment section after watching so many of your videos.
Thanks for the collaboration Jesse Sensei!
Great explanations!
Sensei Seth: My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
Hahahaha
But what if I constantly teach myself?! Boom, loophole lol
in that case you can call yourself sensei all day to yourself alone and nobody would complain 🤣
Simple: use a mirror to flat yourself but only when you are alone 😂😂😂
we are all sensei to ourselves and each other 👊🏼
Boom. 😂 ur killing me
thought about you when i saw the title hahaha
Sensei Kreese, Sensei Seth, Sensei LaRusso and Sensei Lawrence are coming 🥋🥊...
Me too
@@SenseiSeth now you're in
@@brucelee3842 😂🙏
Miyagi and LaRusso never called themselves Sensei, just the Cobra Kai dudes
They call him mr larusso, he never asks to be called sensei
I remember reading an article in the 1970's, they interviewed
a gentleman who wore a black belt. He was highly skilled and knowledgeable, and they said that they kept asking his rank
Several times. But would just say softly, " black belt " with a smile. They said at the end of the article, " That is truly being humble." They never did find out his rank.
“Prioritize skill and character over what you’ve acquired”. Oss Nagano Sensei
I loved that comment
I love how humble and polite many Japanese people are 🙏
Wait! I mostly teach kids karate! 4:04 boom, another loophole lol
😂👍🙏
With your kicks, you can call yourself whatever you want.
🤣
I took Japanese in high school and so had my old (western) karate ideas that sensei was a "rank" knocked out of me pretty quick. Getting into koryu and being exposed to the idea of senpai and kohai expanded on this idea. I recall having it dumbed down "anyone here before ye joined is yer senpai. Anyone who joins afterwards is yer kohai." It's not a rank. So later when I'd see McDojos that would have them listed like "at green belt you become kohai, at brown belt you become senpai. 2nd or third degree black belt, you can be called Sensei" and I'd chuckle.
I've been involved in Shinkage Ryu for a long time and have been privileged to shape alot of newcomers into the ryu over the years. Even with that, the first time someone called me "Chris Sensei" or "deMonch Sensei" I was like "what? Me? Oh nonono..."
it's pretty awkward, especially in the west, for someone to call someone a sensei, although it may be correctly used, tbh..
This reminds me of the title "imperator" among the Roman army, no general could call themselves imperator, their troops had to proclaim them imperator after a victory.
Cool 😄👊
It explains a lot, if your troops call you "Imperator" they will likely fight for you when you stage a coup to become emperor.
He was so wholesome, had me smiling all the way through
Karate people are the best! 🥋
@@KARATEbyJesse My head instructor is a 6th Dan black belt, what do you think about the title Shihan? He has been a world champion before, so hopefully someone called him that, it’s not a self imposed title 🥊
(Edited; ps he makes us refer to him as Shihan) 👀
@@TheWesterlyWarlock I greatly appreciate your explanation ✊🏼🥋😇 Osu.
🙇
@@TheWesterlyWarlock Great analogy with the chess title.. :-)
Fantastic presentation Jesse San and special thanks to Karate Dojo Waku for the simple explanation. Here I heard many people use the word "SENSAI" instead of "SENSEI" again lack of correct path or may be the teachers like you were not available when it started here.
Entire conversation were quite crispy, enjoyed and throughout the time I was smiling as if I am joining with you sitting near to you.... wonderful
Great job Both great teachers from Japan and West
Arun Dev from India
@karate TV thanks you for your support sir 😌🙏❤️
I prefer "sansai," as I am a mountain vegetable.
@@davidb8119Mm, a vegetable to ea-
Doctors are commonly called Sensei.
It is a word primarily used to call someone, who is Learned, with respect.
I’ve been called senpai once and it felt so good, I think I even got chills.
"Angry 30 year old grandmaster sounds"
McDojo alert!! 🤡
@@KARATEbyJesse Im Sensei Ronald Mc Dojo, and sensei is my rank so dont forget to say ir every time you speak to me (must be read in angry voice)
This was a great lesson. Westerns need to learn more about humility
Amen to that!
That's why I always think and feel of myself as an eternal apprentice.
"Im not a teacher, just a fellow traveler for who asked the way."
Thank you, I believe the quote came from Bruce Lee.
1) Why is Yusuke so sexy?
2) Why the Wii Mii channel music? 😂
Good vid as always tho, great work, these collaborations are so good!
Why not? 🤪
Not gonna lie in my head, while watching this video, there were Miis in Gis wandering around the room.
Absolutely makes sense.Thank you for educating🙏
"You should always prioritize your skills and your character over what you acquire"
Thank you for this video!
I fully agree!
¡Gracias maestro Jesse!
Awesome Jesse. Thank you very much
This took me years to find clearification on, you did it in less than seven minutes - fantastic job the both of you!
Great video, thanks Jesse!
These type of collabs are always interesting
Definitely two must watch channels.
mr. enkamp, you always find new whys to educate in such a graceful manner.
very good!
thanks so much for this explanation, Wow!!!
Brilliant! What a fun video. Well done buddy!
Thank very much for another great lesson Jesse-Sensei 🙏☺️
We can learn so many things from your and Nagano Sensai's video..oss
The two most favoritest Sensei! you should collab often, both channel's contents are the best!!
Great video Jesse, a very needed one too. Thank you to you and Nagano San.
Thank you very much. Jesse-sensei
That was another great video. I had learned that from my Japanese friends who had come to visit a karate school here in Canada. They didn't make a big deal out of it but privately their explain that to me. I'd actually forgotten about that experience. Thanks for the amazing clarification yet again.
Thanks 👍 it was so wonderful to know the culture of japan and the real wisdom behind the word "Sensai"
Very enlightening explanation. Thank you so much.
Very happy new year to you, your family and students.
Cheers from Philadelphia!!
Very interesting. Thank you.
That was awesome Jesse!!!
It felt like confirming being humble is ok. So very well put. Thank you so much!!!
My pleasure!! 🙏
Another great video. Thanks (sensei).
i enjoy your vids jesse i just love the explanations
Jessie, I must say, I have seen quite a few of your videos now, and I am very impressed by your humble yet passionate attitude. And especially your knowledge about what you talk about. Well , my level of knowledge about Karate or martial arts in general is minimal. But I feel I have learned and keep learning a lot from your videos. You definitely have helped me get rid of a lot of misunderstandings about martial arts and fighting.
👏👏👏 You are great, Jesse! Great!
I always understood such terms as a description of the relationship between two people rather than a static title. To some I am senpai and to some sensei. To most I'm absolutely nobody. How could I possibly be everyone's sensei? Lol
Very good explanation!!!
In all seriousness, I love your channel. You have such great content and I love how you explore different aspects of martial arts throughout the world. I’ve been a martial artist since I was about nine years old and one of the things I love about martial arts is that I’m still learning and still striving to better myself.
Very good video! It's amazing the amount of "feelings" that get hurt over this... Now if people would stop using OSU everywhere, that would be great...
Amen! 😂
I always felt like self proclaiming titles are worthless unless you are recognised as such. Now my understanding has come full circle. Thank you very much for this Jesse.
"you should always prioritize your skills and character before what you acquire" 💛💛💛
Awesome very informative on the proper education been following you for years truly .
Nice video. Today I learnt a new thing about Japanese culture. Thanks Sensei!!
This is great to see collaborations take place, especially with the people I know directly. Thank you for using parts of my video in your channel Jesse! This an awesome collaboration!
This is golden!
Happy to see this properly explained
Another fascinating video from one of the best martial arts channels on UA-cam.
It should be noted that the characters for "sensei" (先生) can also simply mean "Mr" in China, where it is rendered "xiansheng" in Pinyin. So you are indeed xiansheng Enkamp.
Ok Jesse. You've outdone yourself with the music. I'm a school teacher and 2 of my classes love doing their work while listening to Wii music. This just brought smiles instantly!
Very interesting. Thanks👍🏻
This is a great tour into the jargon of karate and the linguistics of japanese!
Nicely done Jesse 👏🏼
It becomes a matter of humility. I heard it said once, "Those who can't do it brag about it. Those who can do it never have to say a word. They let actions speak for them."
Another great video sir
Thank you very much for the education!
I'd love to know more about the situations you use japanese words or phrase specifically in Karate but also in japan in general.
And also about appropriate behaviour in a dojo.
Osu!
Dear Jesse-Sensei, Dear Yusuke-Sensei, thank you very much für your lessons. Beste regard and stay healthy from germany.
Most enjoyable. Thank you.
Another great video as a start for 2021. Thank you very much Jesse Sensei :)
This is exactly the reason I was sceptical about "Sensei Seth" at first, but then I started watching his videos :)
Awesome video😍😍😍
Muchas Gracias.
Two genius on the same video, amazing
True because a "Sensei is a forever student"
On things NOT to call someone in the Dojo. My sensei's name was C.J. Bader. Even though he was a "master", he refused to let us call him "Master Bader"...he was such a humble man.
😂😂😂
This is very well explained. 先生 is not only in Japanese language, but also in all Chinese languages and Korean. 先輩 in Japanese and Korean, 前輩 in all Chinese languages, are only used to address someone, never used to address yourself.
Very interesting as always!
Fantastic video😊👍
Great video and info. I taught in Japan for some years and remember studying Japanese and reading that you should ever introduce yourself as a sensei.
well worth a watch
Muchas gracias.
Muchas gracias por el video
I know more people who refer to themself as “Master” versus Sensei. It’s ridiculous. Drop the ego, fam! 🤘🏻🥋
Master is a rank you don t call yourself. it ns like general it s a rank. when a student walks in the school then what should call you if not by your rank. by your first name?
@@SolomonsMartialArts triggered?
@@DetailingJourney ???i. I am doing martial arts 50 yrs and teaching 34 yrs owned a school. Triggered what ?
@@DetailingJourney It's a fact that in some styles, Master is a rank, not just a title. Typically around 7th Dan in karate, judo, bjj, Taekwondo, etc.
Master Ken is the only one true master
👋Happy new year jesse sensei😁👍✌👊stay strong you and your family💪.
Thank you
Great stuff!!! :)
Awesome video, saludos desde México
Muy bien excelente Jesse Sensei
Happy new year Jesse Sensei,i miss you so much.
Happy 2021! 🌟
Thank you.
Feliz y propspero 2021 Enkamp Sensei, (aprendi algo de este video y la explicación de Nagano Sensei jeje).
This called respect!
Awesome!
This has bugged me FOREVER - nice to see it so very nicely articulated. Both the idea of using the word "sensei" before a name and also referring to one's self as such. This includes introducing one's self as a "shihan" also. Because it's commonly used in these ways in the US, I understand why it continues, but I think if students and practitioners are aware when interacting with a Sempai or Sensei from Japan - it would avoid awkward moments and also potential (unspoken) judgement. Nice job, Jesse, and Nagano-sensei!
QUE BUENO JESSE, !! ESTO ME GUSTO MUCHISIMO , Y MAS QUE ESTOY TOMANDO CLASES DE NIHON-GO TE MANDO UN SALUDO DE MAR DEL PLATA ARGENTINA, SHORIN RIU GRACIAS , THANKS, ARIGATO !!
Revisiting this because I was recently thinking about the old McDojo I used to train at.
You were considered a "sensei" as soon as you got your black belt. Anyone who was still kyu-ranked had to address them as "sensei" in a very military/Cobra Kai-esque fashion. "Yes, sensei!" "No, sensei!" And you also had to bow any time you spoke when spoken to.
They would readily tell you their name was Sensei Bob, or Sensei Jim, or whatever. The official site for the dojo also says something like "a black belt is very HONORED at our dojo".
One instructor who regularly taught the youth classes even demanded that he be called "Sensei Pretty Hair" because he put so much pride in his hair.
Asking to be called sensei from the first dan does not seem consistent with what is often said: that the study of karate begins with obtaining the black belt and that everything before is just initiation. :$. One is quite proud while the other is humble...
Thanks for valuable knowledge. Kindly make some videos regarding master Seigo Tada.
Finally! Some guys who understand good video!
It is nice to listen you speaking Spanish, uncle Jesse!
