Jesse Enkamp I got a fight with Randy or
Jesse Enkamp This is the best video I've watched in your channel... it remembers me what the UFC trainer told you. This is one of the ways I am perfecting my Karate... using the close quarter distance, I am mixing Karate and Wing Chun, and other martial arts, but primaly, for self defense purposes, and after that, sport purposes. I think that what don't work is not the "technique" (movement or stance), is the "application", and the moment. I am using even tai chi principles, using Bruce Lee's mindset. For example, this leverage is used in Wing Chun: 2:39; this hit and this trap are Wing Chun techniques: 2:09. The "sumo" posture is what I use in close quarter distance, this is very similar to low stances in tai chi, that supossedly don't work. I search the Wing Chun trapping range in all my kumites, and works, my opponents don't understand what is happening. The 4:24 technique is similar respect Judo. At the end, there is a middle point where all martial arts converge. I am trying to create a new combat system, and this video is amazingly near of what I have working during years.
Jesse Enkamp great video Jesse👍🏼💪🏼💪🏼thanks for your nice content🙇♂️
Greetings from Germany✌🏼
Great video
Try adding a mawashi uke before applying the exact techniques you explained and they become very easy to use and are extremely effective.
Love your work
Jesse Enkamp
I wish most karate instructors thought this way. I really believe this is the way karate is supposed to be. There is nothing about karate that doesn't work. Every bit of it works. Just interpreted wrong.
find instruction in okinawan karate. you will see more of this type of thinking
So difficult to find though. Part of why karate is so misunderstood. Okinawan karate is the art in its purest form.
It doesn’t have to be Okinawan. I teach Tang Soo Do and have been teaching this for years. There’s just an unfortunate number of bad instructors out there.
bill krips I agree. I think most instructors mean well but there is too much sport in karate. I like studying tuite and chin-na. Close range defense.
Nathan w your words were well said. Yes karate works 😁
This is without a doubt the best karate tip that has ever opened my mind in so many years. It feels like an awakening to a new reality. Kata would never be the same for me again. Thank you Jesse.
I recently said this same thing to a well known sensei in my area and he looked at me like i had 7 heads lol
As someone who has never been fond of Katas, you sure make a case to continue to study these applications. Thank you for opening my eyes and helping me further my education.
Besides karate, I also study/train wing Chun. Simultaneity in attack and defense is there all the time. Seeing this concept being worked on karate makes me think about the origin of this martial art and how it was influenced by Chinese martial Artists of Fujian province, which happens to be where wing Chun had flourished. Great explanation!!
When a fist returns to chamber, it contains something.
This is an old principle in karate that has been lost or overlooked.
I opened my eyes on that forgotten principle when I discovered the translation of hikite is puller.

@@lalchungnungaralte9104 exactly. Pulling something anyway.
@@maxventura7015 I know was just correcting the translation and its good to know there are people with the same fondness of karate as me
@@lalchungnungaralte9104 nice to meet you, Senpai!
Too bad nobody explained these things to me 35 years ago. Then the kata seemed boring and lacking in realism, I only practiced it because they asked me to move from one dan to another. Thanks for it!.
Oh my god, now i remember my first lesson in Karate, my teacher said every block can be used as a strike. Thank you for bringing back the memories :D
That’s exactly what my sensi said using the various blocks as different attacks since Karate was originally developed for that purpose in its pure raw form
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. FINALLY SOME REAL INSIGHT INTO KARATE TO HELP THE GENERAL PUBLIC OPINION ON TRADITIONAL KATA AND THE DEEP AND CONCRETE PHILOSOPHY OF WHY AND HOW
AWESOME VID!! 💛
man this guy is right this blew my mind, i've been getting into karate recently and was a bit meh because it seems like its become all about doing nice katas and traditional stuff, but the karate this guy just showed makes way more sense guys
These never were "blocks", but forearm slams. The techniques are either from Lung Ying or 5 Ancestors, from which it is believed Miyagi drew a lot of his Goju Ryu from. That first move you show after moving in closer is the actual original application.
Range dictates everything. Great post Jesse. We have to practice and adapt our kata to the ranges. OSU!
Jesse sensei, this is really genious! You have shown us the two principles that convert the seamingly ackward movements of kata into meaningful and effective techniques: 1. A block is a lock is a throw. 2. Adapt the distance. This totally changed for me the meaning of kata practice, and allows me to unlock so many practical techniques hidden in the kata. I think we should put more emphasis in the practice of realistic bunkai, in which you must close in to your opponent,as a contrast of what we usually do in competitive kumite. Thank you so much!
That’s right! Applied kata in real life scenarios. It’s taken me many years to see this open in this way. Thanks again for sharing Jesse San.
I haven't trained in nearly 20 years, but I'm thinking back to a bit of kata I remember from years ago and making more sense out of it already.
Need $ to get back into training!!!
You explained this very well. Some "teachers" are great fighters; but can't teach you what they know.
Been studying martial arts for about 25-30 years. this never really occurred to me. Thank you for your insight.
Oliver rules!!!! I really like karate and mma working together!!!👍
Look for Sensei Antony Vinicio's videos. Jesse San knows well what I'm referring to. 👍
Woooow your english is so clear to understand. I'm Mexican and my first lenguaje is spanish and I,m learning english but I can understand you perfectly.
You have a new follower... Osu!!!
Muchas gracias! 😁
I never understood or enjoyed Kata until I explored these concepts. Changing the distance meant Kata made sense finally!
I am still coming down from my surgery I had over a month ago (So I haven't been able to step in the dojo for over a month) but I have to say Jesse, reading the Bubishi and watching your videos (some for a 2nd and 3rd time) has really opened my eyes to more then just sparring. I have been trying to improve my Bunkai and this video was exactly what I was missing. This was a great video and I look forward to watching and learning more! You have helped improve my Karate greatly.
My absolute pleasure! 😄 Get well soon and take care 💪
This BFO occured for me a few years ago and I have never looked back. Kata is a very important element but, must be taught this way. Thank You!
Just loved this video.. The long range application is exactly how karate is taught nowadays. U have brought a new perspective so easily.. Taught my students this and they were so surprised by its usage..
Excellent video Sensei! Why some people want to make the claim that karate and kata are not for self-defense or have very limited self defense application, just eludes me. No one can make a better case to the contrary than you have in this video. The designers of kata were deeply thinking people and didn’t design kata because they had nothing else to do. The katas are replete with all kinds of self defense applications disguised in a “dance”. Good work, Jesse.
I absolutely love the concept of bunkai, understanding the practical application is such a help to understand our kata better. It has made me look again at things in a different way, especially as I tend to practice more Jiu Jitsu these days rather than karate - great video Jesse thank you.
Thank you very much sensei jessy for your simple and easy to apply explanations, greetings from Argentina, Oss
I'm only into my second month of karate classes and I came to this realization instinctively. I don't have the endurance or the kicking range. If something happens, it has to be over up close and quick.
Woah this opened my eyes bro I didn't knew a secret was there!
This is probably the single best bunkai advice I’ve heard and suddenly makes the traditional katas a practical self-defense arsenal. Thanks!
Thanks! Great to hear 😄👍
Excellent , the opening moves of yondan as a sweep I’ve never noticed that before THANKS KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK 👍
Good eye! 👍
I think the beauty of it is that the kata is useful for both short and long range. But in the short range, you have more leverage over the opponent; which means that if you have good technical skill, you won't have to worry about strength or speed.
Whoa!! The last 50 seconds of the video blew my mind. Awesome video :D
Awesome! Thanks for watching ✌️
varun shah I got a fight with Randy Or
I just watched this video and this was my topic in class last night. Karate is used in 3 of the 4 ranges. We don't really do ground work, but long range, short range grappling and throwing. Great video.
Great advice. As a beginner it puts Kata into context for me. Tried this today in class to great effect. Thanks for your videos, you are an excellent teacher
One idea, worth a million bucks. I've been applying this by practicing with the "bunkai practice dummy" Jesse describes in another video.
I love bunkai, it puts everything in context. Thanks for the lesson.
THIS concept changes EVERYTHING
This is great Jesse san. I love teaching alternatives and this is one of them changing the distance changes blocking to striking and even throwing. Absolutely great video. Keep them coming. And thank you.
Sometimes, the smallest details make the biggest difference 😊
I like very much your approach to bunkai. It solves the “waist” of using only 50% of our limbs, unlike wing chun for example, and gives to me a new vision for the study of kata. Many thanks!
Dear Jesse, I used this advice last Saturday at my black belt exam. ❤
Thanks so much Sensei. I´ve followed your work during years, your advices and so forth to keep me on the road. This is an excellent perspective to start applying our techniques in a different way and become much more effective.
thank you very much for all that you give for the karate and especially the traditional
Thanks for the tip! Makes a lot of sence!
The practical applications of karate are so great! Proven useful over decades. Congratulations on the video! I hadn't thought about changing the distance to change the purpose of the technique.
Great lesson!!! I have been looking for a way to reconcile my shotokan techniques with what I've learned with inside fighting in wing Chun. You've showed me they really are very similar just by changing the way we view and implement the moves. You're the best!
That was a nice explanation. Thanks sensei
日本でもここまでしっかりした型の理解、把握、応用をしている人は本当に少ないと思います。
とても素晴らしい。
これに型の逆足の解釈が加わるともっと深い利用方法が得られると思います。
What an eye-opener! Thank you.
Thank you Jesse! Many out there commenting negatively about Shotokan Karate. I always say them weakness lies in the person who uses it and teaching it but not in the style of Karate. You showed well here! Great Job!
Awesome! I love applying that concept.
And suddenly many ideas came on my mind. Thank you for these videos!
Thank you very much! Great video!
u know what, u are doing karate at a very modern scale and I appreciate it . I am a kyokushin fighter and now I see how good all these things can actually be , osu
Wow, never looked at it that way! Thanks
Excellent take in kata and fighting distance. Thanks
Thanks for this. Great idea.
Was your best vídeo Jesse! Keep going... the translation about “bunkai” you nail it !
Hey Jesse your idea is awesome
Thank you sensei!!
I’ve ALWAYS loved kata Now I love it even more
Great video! Very good explanation!
Thank you so much, pls more videos like this, Sensei.
Beautiful !!!
beautiful ! the awesome secret for all katas !!!
You show it so simple and direct. Just great!
Hi Jesse hi love your complicity with your brother. Much love from Portugal
Never thought of blocks as having another purpose, awesome video!
”A block, is a lock, is a blow, is a throw.”
The term used for block 'uke' translates more literally to 'receive' than block, which is to stop an attack. Think uke techniques more like deviating energy of an attack rather than outright stopping the movement.
Excellent video, Sensei!
Jesse maybe single handedly saving karate with his videos
Perfect...Thanks Sensei..
This video might get me into Karate. Thanks sir!
U r the great karate master sensei. Really liked the idea of bunkai. Thank u so much. Oss!!
Enlightening video
Great video
very well said
Taking yet another look at this video always getting something more. My brother who studied Shorin Ryu for so many more years than me ha explained something I never knew. Some of the katas deep stances were also created for leg strengthening but when it comes to the bunkai as you say it’s up close and personal and VERY effective. So it ALL has a purpose nothing wasted. A lot of people probably don’t even know that. Like you said what looks like it can’t work suddenly works 😃
Great video.....
Wow! awesome! i never think in that way!
WOW!!! Amazing video!!! My sensei always taugth me that the kamae before a defense IS a defense too!! Exactly as you showed!! Keep up the good work, Jesse sensei!! Thank you a lot!!
Hello. Thanks a lot Jesse-san for the explication. I have never thought like that. You are right. My vision changed.
Very Good Video on Bunkai!
Very good!
That’s a very good. And like you say karate was designed for self defense not being prepared to fight someone. All Okinawa katas are close quarter defense. Great word !
awesome !love it oss!
Very nice video ! I really like the aplications of those blocks / strikes ! Osu from Romania
This is amazing 👍
Mind..... blown!.....
Our class does practice this way of thinking, but it's always helpful to see examples like this, again and again and again. It opens the mind! :D
Great video Sensei!
Right On Point Sensei Jesse Enkamp
sensei you just opened my eyes(i already know a good number of senior kata bunkai but this would help me out more) oss
Perfect! Very logical Jesse! I agree with you absolutely
Excellent demonstration! Most people have no idea what the purpose of hikite is. From a fellow karateka and school owner, love your content Jesse!
Excellent, spot on 🥋👊⛩
Wow, I really appreciated this perspective
Great to hear!
Jesse Sensei, thanks for explain! It was so clear and brilliant! I've already seen some applications like these (in short distances), but their causes were not so clear like the way You talked. Congratulations! Oss.
thx it is a great lesson😘
Well said, Jesse san. For many year, my sensei told me, "punches can be blocks and blocks can be punches."
kata is quite a different from dance.
I can reconfirm kata is a kind of seeds for self-defence. thank you!
