Would you be willing to help me start a non-profit for the real-life anime city I am trying to get started?
You are telling the story as if we are ten year old children sitting in your karate class 🤣
what a lineup on your website recommending the pen, that alone was worth clicking
Jesse, knife attacks in the dojo are not real.
Try using a permanent black marker instead of a pretend knife. Attitude changes.
Love your posting/videos.
Shouldn’t we just train to have a strong nukite instead? 🤪
Using an everyday implement as an effective martial-arts weapon! Just like they did in old Okinawa, the birthplace of karate!
That’s the place! 👍
He said the thing! :D
Shi Heng Yi hasn't taught me ground and pound defense yet 🫣
Lucky me 😇
Hey sir!
Bas Ruten had an amazing defense against ground and pound
Wait, your Shifu is also called Shi Heng Yi? Man how many of them are there
You impressed me when i watched you fight, good to see someone who never threw a punch have a moment of coolness atleast in one challenge during the championship
These two are some of the most legendary martial artists of all time. They’ve competed in mma, bjj, boxing and karate and still competing against each other. Super impressive.
Jesse vs Natan, you two's stand up fighting was really fun to watch.
I didn't realize how close in size they were! I thought Natan was much bigger, but that wasn't the case at all.
I was totally underestimating you. I had a really wrong idea about your skills, and you proved me wrong. You did a really good job out there. Sincere respect!
Deep bow 🙏
Jessy is by far the best guy there
Don't you think it's a sign of lack of common sense to underestimate a black belt karate sensei with MMA experience?
@@Euduchaus don't you think it's a sign of lack of common sense assuming that I knew who he was and his background?
First episode: "Oh, a traditional karate guy, well not sure how effective he could be."
Second episode: "Wow, better than I expected. I had a prejudice."
Third episode: "Love this guy. Let's follow his channel."
And here I am, openly admitting my error, fair and square.
That's the way of karate
Making others think you have no skills by always staying calm and humble🥋🙏🏼
Both you and Ranton were the ones I was rooting for the whole time. You really showed the practical side of karate!
I absolutely cannot wait for Kevin Lee he is such an underrated martial artist compared to the popular ones on youtube, I’m glad he’ll be getting an even bigger spotlight with the next season! I discovered him through your Wing Chun x Karate videos, loved him ever since
Kevin is one of my favorites too. I think he's becoming to youtube kung fu what Jesse is to youtube karate.
I'm sure he's going to be a good competitor, but he's a really small guy and he's going to have a hard time in some of these challenges. I say that as a Wing Chun guy myself.
He's too small though, he's going to get bullied with grappling by the bigger men.
@@crazedzealotscame here to say the same thing but it will be interesting to see what he can do
@@crazedzealots Natan and Seth are his worst matchup
@@crazedzealotsyou talking about UFC Kevin lee cause he’s huge
You did great in the Championship Jesse, you made such smart choices, amazing performance!
Thanks so much!!
@@KARATEbyJesse OSS!
You have the best mindset Jesse . You are a learning machine.
I try! 🌟
11:11 Damn you really locked in with that takedown
All or nothing!
You, sir, are a scholar, a gentleman, and a consummate professional!
As a taichi guy, I LOVED seeing you and Ranton representing the kata-based arts!
Wow, thank you!
Did way better against Natan than I expected. Jesse was the only one I really knew going into it and I was rooting for him most.
Incredible role model! You're so humble, you're the type of man I aspire to be like! Keep it up, Jesse.
You're too kind!
I was rooting for you since episode 1! I was so happy you did so well!
I feel like he handled himself better than the scoring makes it seem.
That knife disarm was very cool.
And the uchi mata in the bar.
Loved every minute of this season! I'd love to see you guys all interacting away from the challenges too. But Jesse - if we hear that you've passed away in 50 years or so...I'm going to assume it was Ranton's touch of death...
That's the time-delayed deadly punch technique from secret ancient arts!
@@barrygroeneveld6901 Shhh dude - it's secret!
I never watched the first season of this show. Then, I watched this one that you took part in, and I was blown away.
The realism of the challenges and the improvisation were so cool.
Bravo to everyone involved.
The video which i was craving for a millenia just came now. Thanks Sensei!
Patience is a virtue 🌟
@@KARATEbyJesse Yes, sensei! 🥋
The whole show was an education. Thank you all for taking the bruises for us. Real fights then someone is going to get hurt, if not land in A&E. Always best to try not to get into one in the first place. A pen is a good idea, though there are often improvised weapons about to be had if there is time to look. Jesse great judgement, strength, and skill. Rather you than me.
You are incredibly inspiring, I can genuinely see your Chi while you apply your skills to practical situations. You are an embodiment of an ideal male figure. Kind and patient, while intelligent and dangerous. Thanks to you, I'm taking Karate classes now!
Love your videos, been waiting on surgery as struggle to walk for 6 years, but soon as it's finished wanting to learn karate because of your videos ❤
Good luck!! 😇
I feel like this is why kobudo is so important in karate because we know as karatekas we need a weapon to defend our self against a armed attacker my sensei told me before to just carry my nunchucks if i want to defend myself against knife attack watching Jesse use pen to match the danger of the armed attacker proves to importance of kobudo I feel inspired to do karate because Jesse enkamp exist
Isn't a stick better
Dear Jesse Sensei, after watching your latest video, I realized again how important kata applications are, especially chokes, arm and leg locks and throws from the waist, leg sweeps, etc. Thank you so much Sensei Osssu ❤🧡💛💚.
During my years of karate practice (Shotokan 5 years, Shorin-Ryu 1 year, Ashihara 1 month), I always asked my teachers about street fighting applications of katas, but I usually did not get very satisfying answers.
I remember when I was young, when I had to defend myself on the street a few times, I mostly defended myself by jumping within kicking distance and throwing a double front kick (tobi mae geri), and luckily my opponents who got hit by that kick never got back on their feet.
But one day, we had a street fight trial with a good friend of mine, a black belt 1st Dan Judoka on the national team. The result was very humiliating for me as a karateka. I had not been able to hit any other Karate strike technique except for the kizami suki. My judoka friend managed to knock me down with an osoto gari in about 1 minute and then choke me on the ground.
When I was a child in Turkey, our elders had made us wrestle on the grass since we were very young (wrestling was in my youth the numer one national sport, it comes from our ancestors, besides traditional oil wrestling is still very popular in Turkey, my grandfahter was a heavy oil wrestler by the way) so all my neighborhood friends knew the basic wrestling techniques, despite that, it took a very short time for my judoka friend to throw me to the ground, because my own mind was only telling me to do karate, I had programmed my mind wrong, because they had not taught me how to do this in my karate dojo. The training and teaching methods were very inadequate back then, aren't they still the same?
After this bitter encounter, I started learning Judo along with my Karate training, and about 2 years later, my friend confirmed with a final exam that I had learned Judo at an intermediate-advanced level, enough to use it on the streets with my Karate technique. Thanks to the Judo street techniques I learned, I was now interpreting Katas much differently than my teachers, and most importantly, I was better than everyone else at Bunkai, which is the essence of the practices.
Karate-Do and Judo should never be considered separately, and this was also very realistically revealed in your self-defense video. It was awesome, I am so proud with you dear Sensei. Thank you so much to prove us all right. ✌✌👊👊
In addition to Judo, I also studied Wing Chun for about 10 years in 3 different schools. I think Wing Chun is much better at close range than Karate, which is much removed from its diminished essence that is currently taught in Dojos.
Karate is actually better than Judo at long range in many ways, because Judokas cannot strike effectively either, but they are clearly superior in close grappling techniques.
In addition, I reached the degrees of Kick Boxing (3rd Dan) and Tackwondo (1st Dan). I also took boxing lessons for 2 years, I had already taken my first lessons from my father, who was an amateur boxer in his youth, but I had no experience in boxing except for a few street fights. Knowing Wing Chun was very useful when I fought Bare Knuckle in the ring a few times.
In conclusion, real martial arts should be a good combination of all of them, which in this case is Jeet Kune Do (JKD), but not as a style at all, it should definitely not be about imitating Bruce Lee. To take the core concepts and philisophies from his amazing book "The Tao of JKD" and combining them as your very unique individual style.
I think we should not imitate, we should specialize in techniques that are effective on the street for ourselves, we should be experts in real life-and-death struggles. Otherwise there is no meaning at all, when we are not trying to perfectionise are lives, our moralities and our Martial Arts with real expieriences from live itself. This is the highest goal for a Martial Artist IMO.
Tú debes descubrir y explorar por ti mismo los bunkai. El arte marcial debe serte útil a ti
Its pretty cool that two karate guys won the two prizes in the competition, Natan with the overall championship and our boy with the self defense pen trophy.
congrats on the atomic bear trophy jesse! it's arguably better than winning the usdc belt since it comes with cash too 😬🤫
You need to get Oliver in the next season, its always good to have an Enkamp on even if its just for the accent.
😜👍
Jesse Enkamp: A secret weapon...
Us (who have been using these pens for years to survive NYC): -_-
Loved season 2, but I also love the reaction videos from the contestants. It's really informative to know a little bit more of what you were thinking. Thanks Jesse!
I’m just here to say that if there is such a thing as a modern samurai, it would be Jesse Enkamp.
I'm way too bad with a sword!
jesses no style is a descendant of Seiko Fujita the last ninja
Just finished watching. Good work mate. Amazing effort.
Much appreciated!
This is the most practical and coolest thing I've ever seen we need regional stuff like this
Good job, Jesse! Great presentation with this video summary.
I watched this season in early access and was absolutely loved how you didn't approach this as a competition, rather as a learning experience.
You did amazing! I'm a little disappointed that you didn't get to fight any zombies.
Or did I… 😎
@@KARATEbyJesse Hol up
You did an awesome job and showed how karate is highly effective in real situations
The warehouse performance was very very impressive
This season was phenomenal. I had a great time watching each challenge and every one of you fighting :) I hope you will return again some time. Much love and respect from your neighbor in Denmark :)
I so wanted that jesse enkamp and ranton will be the best
dude this is like the ultimate best thing to learn ty for actually making what should have been made decades ago for security and civilians.woooooow keep up the good work.
Such a good video! You’re super well rounded, was interesting to see you in all these different scenarios
Thank you so much Josh!!
Was rooting for you!!! I'm happy you got the trophy 🏆
Loved the way you explained your whole strategy during the series in such an intelligent way, and I love the takedown you made at the bar 2:35. I could replay it all day :)
Glad it was helpful!
Jesse
You did great !!!
I’m so glad you made Season 2 after missing Season 1
Thanks for sharing this vid regarding your experience
Loved watching how you used karate in the usdc ! Great to see someone using all that karate has to offer!
Thank you! 🙏
love this season, do you have a collab video with Ranton?
Ranton i feel like dosent understand karate so that could help him
I tried
@@KARATEbyJesseWdym?
So, I was sad you weren’t in the first season. Then you were the teaser for season two, which was awesome. It was good to see you in action vs real people!
This is extremely inspiring! Thank you and all who participated for creating this.
Anyone interested in self defense, regardless of style, should think about incorporating the challenges shown in their training. Thank you!
Great video! The contest videos showed bits of you and Ranton doing forms - I'd love to see more of that if any more was recorded.
I was most looking forward to you and Ranton this season, and I wasn't disappointed! Both of you showed so much heart. I also ended up being a fan of Natan by the end
I was rooting for you the whole time. I have been excited about the season two ever since it was announced.
Bad luck that you lost, but great job with the pen and the 1v1s😁
Nicely done Jesse. Congratulations.
You did great man!
8:50 is gold. proceeds to takedown the girlfriend as well.
props to @martialartsjourney
Brotha from another motha
Excellent stuff 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Great synopsis, Jesse. You rocked!
you did great jessy. those pen strats were something else
About time...
I was a fan of the original but got tired of waiting 😂
Jesse San, would you ever explore Street combatives for us please mate 👍❤
was amazing to watch you apply your skills trying both to avoid and inflict damage!
I think your scores were underrated. I'm a giant with significantly more height, weight, reach and ability than most. So far this is the first year I haven't been in a fight since 1992.
There is so much power in exercising patience and just being uncomfortable with a situation instead of reacting. with force. I'm not saying its right - but I'll take a few moments of extreme discomfort or a light hit if it means I can walk away without hurting anyone.
This is a reality show I would watch. And the best pen marketing I've ever seen!
USDC was an incredible series. Loved how you handled it
Thanks a ton!
Cool video Sensei Jesse. So great to see you “laying it on the line” in this challenge to pressure test all you have learned to improve your Karate over the years. You are a true exponent of “the beginner’s mind! that you talked about in one of your earlier videos! Total respect to you! Although, I thought you should have scored higher, especially in that bus scenario with the guy being too “familiar” with you. I thought you handled that, and other scenarios on the bus well enough to score higher. As you said you were trying to avoid fights! which is the best form of self defence!
Seen the whole thing & you've been one of my favorites (Rantoooon). Please do come back for season 3.
DAMNN JESSE you're so good! Your fast reaction...👀..your concentration.. you have everything for that!! Thank you for sharing! ❤
Keep it up Jesse!!!
OSS! 🥋🏆
bro is the real karate kid
Now you gotta get brother in there.
Love USDC! Great job, Sensei Enkamp!
man, this teaches me that I have way more to learn when it comes to de-escalation.
Nice just begin with TSG Karate to complete my kyokushin and Jujutsu training I like when Karate is moore than punch and kicks 🥋as always you are an inspiration !
I love your Storytelling 💯🔥
Awesome Job Jesse! Easy winnn!!!!
Just doing what I love! Stabbing people in the eyes and groin
Lol Jesse after the third time, that is not your friend, leave his drunk ass. Great video as always.
I tried 😂
I admire that you mentioned about Bunkai, it's an underated self defense method way more effective than other methoids
So in conclusion, this was a defense pen commercial haha.. super long for a commercial but entertaining enough
No doubt, Jesse is incredible 💯
You did awesome Jesse 🎉
Thank you so much
It was a great season. Hopefully season 3 has a Seth vs Jesse karate showdown!
OH man that looks hella fun.
Well wasn't that the most entertaining ad for a pen I've ever seen.
Good to see Jesse in Season 2 after season 1 being a banger. We need shi heng in the next season!
I was waiting for your reaction Sensei 😊
love the Bunkai details. Specifically representing traditional karate in this is extra points for me
Love my atomic bear pen. Always on me, no one notices it, but it has a lot of utility if ever needed. Mainly use it as a pen but nice to have a self defense tool and glass breaker in case of emergency. Great job in the championship, enjoyed watching you and everyone else.
Awesome to hear 😁
What a legend ❤
Story-telling 10/10
Thank you Jesse , always practical content. 🙏🏻
You also make ot fun..
Any chance you can do a breakdown of Shorinji Kempo?
Oss!
Throughout the entire ordeal I was only rooting for Jessie! But the tasks were very difficult, especially Shang Tang. But I am a proud karate master! He proved the effectiveness of karate
Great content!! And great ads too
Jesse is really good.
Well, some of those challenges were very odd, in that most people don't need to break up fight after fight after fight in a bar... But all-in-all Jesse definitely showed that karate training works for what it's designed to do. Any time he was in an exchange he usually succeeded in getting dominant positions with takedowns and sweeps. Pretty cool!
I have to say, I liked your performance in this competition the most, you also got me very interested in those traditional tehniques, where can I learn more about them?
That was great something different i love it
When my man Jesse casually leaves out the time he kneed the counter a few times to intimidate Natan 🤣
Gotta leave some surprises for people who watch the full episodes! 😜
I was rooting for you, Jesse!
That scoring in the bus scenario wasn't fair at all!
Everybody knows that in real life many times you can talk your way out of the situation... Unfortunately the USDC assailants were oriented to attack in all situations...
However you (and Sensei Seth in first season) still proved that Karate can be useful in normal situations if you train it right.
Congratulations!
You still did amazing in the challanges 😄.
I greatly enjoyed the both seasons of USDC. Especially this season. I thought Jesse did great both in general and in showcasing Okinawan karate's practical aspects. I would have put him third (after Natan and Craig) in the competition overall. He also had more than his share of "highlights" -- like the joint lock in the first ep, a great hip throw in the bar, the pen eye-strike in shank tank, and the use of the chair to pin poop-man in the security challenge. Great job!
Thank you very much!
Great video and the idea of self defence❤
Thank you 🙌
Amazing video
Glad you think so!
