Totaly right!! You're giving us BIG ANSWERS about Karate roots. Big ans beautifull job. Keep on doing that its necessary to understand Karate ans martial arts in general. Great work!
That monk undoubtedly knew he wasn't allowed to teach you. What a kind master. He loves teaching so much he risked punishment to teach you about Kung Fu.
Love all of these.... Can't wait....... Just amazing and very very very... intresting.......Thanks for your hardwork to show us this masterpiece. Osu!!!
I love it so far. But being a gung fu guy myself. Maybe you should introduce proper name for school, forms and teachers. Terminology would be only proper.
Thank you so much for these videos, Sensei Jesse Enkamp! I'm loving every second of each one of them. It's like as if we were traveling and discovering everything with you. You are making our Sundays better with this video series! Many thanks! 🙏🙂👏👍🥊🥋
A Chinese here... It's been day 21 of the lockdown in my community and I just to want say thank you for these amazing videos that reminded me what an amazing world it is out there waiting to be explored. I'm gonna continue to follow your journey in the next episode now. Xie xie.
Hi Xie Xie. I have been learning tai chi chuan and qigong from a Chinese master here in the US. I love doing those for health. It must be boring to be in lockdown for such a long time. I hope that the virus will be defeated.
@@bjarnesmith640 Just saw this. Sorry I missed your first reply. Xie xie would've been a great name though! It's crazy how much has changed since 7 months ago. I hope your Tai Chi has helped you staying healthy. Stay safe and best wishes!
You know how the internet is so fond of the "student looking for a master" trope? This episode feels like a real life version of it. Makes me think whoever used this trope first may have actually used it with a basis in fact. To wit, - No one knows where the master(s) reside: when you said that even the taxi driver has no idea where the temple is, it really felt like the beginning of a hero's journey cycle. And you had to cap it off with a mystic "out of nowhere the temple appeared". - Going heavenwards (upwards a mountain?) to look for the master. - Encounter with (an) elder(s) who are not the master the hero is looking for: the senior monk who doesn't do martial arts. - After a perilous journey, you finally encounter the master but the master is reluctant to take you on as a student. - The hero proves himself: they learn you practice Karate. This changes the mind of the master because... - The hero's arrival has been foretold by a prophecy: the document from the mayor of Okinawa. - The master starts to teach the hero but the hero has to leave before he could finish his training. "I have shown you the path but you must walk it yourself." Has a certain "Campbellian" feel to it.
Pretty sure the actual translation would be Governor of Okinawa versus Mayor. The electronic lock the monk opened cracked me up, ancient and modern. Enjoying it as always.
Oh wow you are literally blowing my mind with this Documentary... I am practicing Wing Chun Kung fu for quite some time now, and had to write a 3 pages long article about Wing Chun history for my first Dan a year ago. I was really upset when I finished it, because I felt something missing. I know you are there to find the roots of Karate there, but you actually are proving the founding of Wing Chun not to be a legend, but to actually be right... it's really incredible. So I knew that Wing Chun and Karate are like brother and sister, that's what's my oncle, 5th Dan of shotokan Karate once told me. That was 2 years ago and I thought he ment, that all Martial arts is connected in some way, but seriously our styles have a closer connection than I thought: So firstly you met this White Crane guy in Jong Chun(or however that is written correctly) Jong Chun is literally the Mandarin pronunciation of the same word that mean Wing Chun!! Also Wing Chun was, according to legend founded by Ng Mui a Women, that after spending years in the forest and learning from a fight between a WHITE CRANE and a fox/ or a snake (I guess legend wasn't to sure about that, because different sources told it different) came up with the Idea of a new Martial arts(that later became known as wing Chun) so this Women came to an Southern Shaolin temple and trained there until she became master of her fighting style. She and the warriormonks in the Temple were supporters of the Ming dynasty, that ruled China until the manchu founded the Chin-dynasty. Because of that the 5 shaolinmasters(one of them was Ng Mui) perfectionised Wing Chung to fight the Ching and bring back the era of the Mings. But the temple one night was infiltrated by a traitor and burned down in an Fight against the troops of the ching. After the 5 masters had to flee, Ng Mui's only student was Yim Wing Chun(after her the new Martial art was named), who needed to learn Wing Chun only for self defense reasons. After 3-4 years she also was a master and she first trained his Husband this art. This is the exact same story the white Crane master told, only from an Wing Chun perspective, and using different names for the art. Actually the dates he named, also fit in. (According to Wing Chung legend the shaolin temple, where she first founded Wing Chung along with the other 4 masters was on the Sung mountain in the Honan region in south China. But she fled to the temple of the White Crane on the Thai leung mountain at the border of the Yunnan and Sichuan region.(I don't know if that's where you were ). And btw the essence of the softer version of white Crane kung fu, teaches the exact same principles as Wing chun does(center of gravity, the biomechanical theory, etc.) Also I saw a Wooden dummy, the most used training tool for Wing Chung in this masters home. It is really incredible to hear from a White Crane master in China the same story, my Sifu told me here in Germany. So I just want to thank you so much for this Documentary, I really appreciate your work and as an Kung fu nerd myself I want to thank you that you showed me how close the history of the Martial arts we practice is close together, I really did not realise that until today. Thank you a lot.
Very good. I have trained with some amazing teachers over the last 25 years, and interestingly the more experienced and deeper their knowledge and understanding, they all say the same thing. There is no real separation of 'arts', the human body only moves in so many ways. ☺ Sure there are differences, but there are far more similarities. The world would be a better place if we spent more time looking at what unites us than what keeps us apart. Looking forward to part 4.
thank you Jesse for sharing this journey with us again and for all of your incredible interactions and for sharing all of these special moments with us
The southern Shaolin temple you visited is breathtaking! The strait punches that the Monk was teaching you we use in GoJu. Thanks for taking us all on this amazing journey, it's really neat to see pieces of the history that we all study in the art's today.
Yesterday I was watching the karate fights in the Paris Open asking to myself " is that karate or fencing?" there is no doubt left, I am definitely more into the old traditional stuff. I can't wait to see ep4 the teaser really got me ! I love this serie , thank you Jesse
I have practiced both karate (Shito Ryu and more recently some basic Shotokan) and European fencing (Russian school) and I am surprised how they are based in similar principles, specially in blockades and on-guard position. Both look for a stable position for the centre of gravity and at the same time leg angles that allow for quick reactions. The blockades have similar philosophies. The kung-fu twisting movement shown here is very similar to some blocking/counterattack techniques in fencing. There are big differences, of course, since they are adapted to the weapon charactesitics and the sport rules, but they have more similarities than one would expect.
I guess this really just confirms that most of Oriental martial arts have originated in China. And I guess really all martial arts are really just a passing of knowledge from one nation to another. I’m learning more about the history of martial arts ( mostly karate) than anywhere else! Great video series!
Muchísimas gracias Sensei Jesse Enkamp ("domo arigato Sensei") por los subtítulos en español, nos ayudan mucho los subtítulos en español a los latinoamericanos que no entendemos bien el idioma ingles, infinitas gracias por la ayuda en los subtítulos y muchas felicidades por tan excelente y profesional trabajo realizado en sus videos. Saludos cordiales a la distancia. Oss!!.
Your excitement and love for the art is infectious. You inspire me to look for my old shito-ryu sensei. I haven't practiced karate since I was 10 and I'm 34 now. Is it too late?
I have been practicing wing chun for more than 30 years, so your investigation into the roots of karate is very interesting. Fujian white crane seems to be the ancestor art of many southern Chinese martial arts. Stay safe and avoid crowds!
Jesse, Thank you for taking the time to share your martial art information with us. I notice you kept referring the Kung Fu technique to karate as if karate was original. I understand you have study Karate for many years and only familiar with karate. I am sure your trip to China has opened your eyes to a new perspective of Martial arts. As you learn in China all martial art were, evolve from Chinese Kung Fu, not Africa. I am a practitioner of Aikido, Judo, and Kung Fu for over 20 years. I learned each martial art has its pros/cons. I learned all lead back to Chinese Kung Fu. I understand MMA has bloomsome BJJ. In America people think BJJ is an ultimate martial art, people do not realize in MMA, there are many things you cannot execute in the ring, like wristlock, pressure point strike, etc. I think you did a great job of showing various styles of Kung Fu and the history of it. Continue success in your karate training.
Thank you so much for your great work! I really enjoy every single episode and am grateful to witness a journey I couldn't do on my own! :) Keep up your awesome work! 😊 The entrance scene was so funny, the camera crushed the epic scene 😂 I didn't expect the Shaolin temple to be this big
The roots of martial arts are very interesting as a whole. People aren't always very open with strangers but everyone understands the enthusiasm in others for their cultural heritage. Especially one with such honorable traditions as Gung Fu and Karate. Great series!
Oh yeah, there u go..... I checked about 4 hours ago, but I didn't get any notifications . But when I opened my phone just a few seconds before with a notification blast... I was was happy to c this.
You were taught basic of karate what you teach in your country in a southern Shaolin Temple? I'm looking forward to seeing next your movie. I enjoyed this. Thank you.
Aww man I have to wait a whole week? I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas. Like WTH can I do this week to make it go faster? I can sing, "The 7 days of the next Karate Nerd video" song.
Amazing series. By the way in minute 7:22 I was told that the beams at the bottom of main doors in traditional buildings is to compel one to bow a little when entering through. The slight bow is meant to respect family ancestors and family altars which faces the main door.
Você teve uma ideia fantástica...Tá sendo muito empolgante ver essa série de vídeos...O momento em que a mão chinesa torna-se a mão vazia...Essa ideia foi única!!! Isso ajuda a compreender melhor vários aspectos do karatê!!!
Fascinating watching these demonstrations. Dog boxing might not be in Karate, but you can absolutely see the origins of many modern Jiu-Jitsu open guard and Judo Ne Waza techniques in it!
The burning of the Southern Shaolin Temple is probably a myth that popped up in late-19th and 20th century Wuxia novels. Sadly, there probably never was a Southern Shaolin Temple, and arts like Wing Chun and Hung Gar which claim lineage through that temple, probably just adopted popular origin myths.
Wow, you didn't just go to a tourist attraction, you really went to an isolated shaolin temple. That's why anyone was allowed to walk in and roam free with no signs of monks! Really love this! It made the documentary far more interesting!
In Quanzhou they get so few non-Chinese tourists that they stop you to take photos with you and stop you just to say "Hello" to you in English. It's lovely.
Hello Jesse, I follow all yours episodes. good job. difficult job too. expensive too. not one people perform that.. I was sho lim tsi practicant for cseveral year in Ecuador. My master, Wong KWONG KUI. He came from Chine, and arrive to california the the day of San Francisco Bridge inaugurates. after he down to south américa, Perú, and finally states in Ecuador. He Was disciple of Tsi Senne. He practices the Ng Mui monk style. I did not see ever his style in the web. plum flower or peach flower. Fantasy, the Frog, five stars against one, and others.-Be sure I will continue following you. good Lock- Marcelo Palacios, Portoviejo Ecuador
watched one of my childhood favourites, actually all three movies. I'm talking about karate kid :). Can't say i have had any interest learning any art like this in many years. Thanks for a well made and interesting show!
true understanding of martial arts is like a huge tree.. you start at the bottom and when you reach the very top you realise , its the roots of the tree that helped you reach the top. I wonder where the treetop represents in the search for the birthplace.. happy travels Jesse san.
Absolutely incredible, love it. This dog style looked pretty interesting and quite realistic, do they freestyle spar in this style or just do formal exercises?
My jaw just dropped to the floor. The whole series should drfinitely be played on History or NatGeo or something like that. I'm much older than you, young man, and - besides your deftness in karate - I admire your great manners and propriety. This must be also benefit from mastering the art, I guess.
I loved this episode. The temple reminded me of Mount Wudang, which I visited in 2009. I recall walking up the 20 thousand steps through multiple empty temples, groves and courtyards to the green temple on the top (most people take the cable car and miss all this). I saw several martial artists practising Bak Mei on the way. I recognised several roots of Goju kata; but, flowing and soft in comparison: the speeds are all different. Fascinating. I made a short film about the mountain on my channel.
I was in China in 2009,in haining and visit a template like you do, but I can't explain my feeling about this video just blow my mind ,thanks very very very much for the video
Mate. This needs to be picked up by a broadcasting company. Dthis is one of the most interesting documentaries is ever watched
Cheers!
@@KARATEbyJesse I mean I'm mate. And I'm british. I grew up on the bbc
@@KARATEbyJesse Some forms of kung fu, are similar to karate, you can see that Karate comes from Kung fu
Strongly agree man
Totaly right!! You're giving us BIG ANSWERS about Karate roots. Big ans beautifull job. Keep on doing that its necessary to understand Karate ans martial arts in general. Great work!
I absolutely love that everybody invites you to drink tea with them
It’s a custom especially in the southern parts of China. If they didn’t invite them to drink tea then it means that they don’t really like him.
That monk undoubtedly knew he wasn't allowed to teach you. What a kind master. He loves teaching so much he risked punishment to teach you about Kung Fu.
Thanks for watching!! 🌟 Episode 4 is here: ua-cam.com/video/M6Dbpl0loGk/v-deo.html! 🔥🔥🔥

Killing me with these cliffhangers, Sensei. Thank you for this series. Very lucky to have the Monks at least show you a small piece.

Thank you!
Jesse your passion and production values on this documentary is just amazing... as someone who practiced kung fu and karate 20 years ago I salute you!
Yesterday I was watching the karate fights in the Paris Open asking to myself " is that karate or fencing?"
there is no doubt left, I am definitely more into the old traditional stuff.
I can't wait to see ep4 the teaser really got me !

Yet another interesting & informative video 👍👍Well done again Jesse.

Thank you for this, Sensei Jesse. God bless!
The burning of the Southern Shaolin Temple is probably a myth that popped up in late-19th and 20th century Wuxia novels. Sadly, there probably never was a Southern Shaolin Temple, and arts like Wing Chun and Hung Gar which claim lineage through that temple, probably just adopted popular origin myths.
CrossingFist My hands-on research says otherwise 🤷♂️
Not a myth, most Wuxia novels are historical fiction, they use actual history and just embellish.
Wow, you didn't just go to a tourist attraction, you really went to an isolated shaolin temple. That's why anyone was allowed to walk in and roam free with no signs of monks!
Really love this! It made the documentary far more interesting!
So amazing, can almost not wait for part 4!

Absolutely brilliant as always you are an inspiration to Karate
watched one of my childhood favourites, actually all three movies. I'm talking about karate kid :). Can't say i have had any interest learning any art like this in many years. Thanks for a well made and interesting show!
true understanding of martial arts is like a huge tree.. you start at the bottom and when you reach the very top you realise , its the roots of the tree that helped you reach the top. I wonder where the treetop represents in the search for the birthplace.. happy travels Jesse san.
Absolutely incredible, love it. This dog style looked pretty interesting and quite realistic, do they freestyle spar in this style or just do formal exercises?
Really great documentary! You guys have uncovered a lot of lesser-known Kung Fu styles in the process too!
My jaw just dropped to the floor. The whole series should drfinitely be played on History or NatGeo or something like that. I'm much older than you, young man, and - besides your deftness in karate - I admire your great manners and propriety. This must be also benefit from mastering the art, I guess.
Thank you 🙏
Finally new episode!!!
Solid! Let's keep this great content coming!
Thank You Sensei as always lots of knowledge and wisdom. Ossu
Laughed my heart at the epic entrance. "It's doing it again" LOL
I loved this episode. The temple reminded me of Mount Wudang, which I visited in 2009. I recall walking up the 20 thousand steps through multiple empty temples, groves and courtyards to the green temple on the top (most people take the cable car and miss all this). I saw several martial artists practising Bak Mei on the way. I recognised several roots of Goju kata; but, flowing and soft in comparison: the speeds are all different. Fascinating. I made a short film about the mountain on my channel.
I was in China in 2009,in haining and visit a template like you do, but I can't explain my feeling about this video just blow my mind ,thanks very very very much for the video
Can't wait for the next episode!!!
Thanks for providing this unique perspective!
Great documentary!!! Thanks for sharing.
Dog boxing is a ground fighting style exactly like harimau pentjak silat,the tiger style from island of Sumatra,amazing ground fighting
