Who won - EAST or WEST? 🤔
@Genghis Khan wise words from genghis khan
@Genghis Khan Hey… I’m supposed to be the wise-ass here! 😜
Depends on purpose, west has more practicality, yet east requires discipline and possible certain situations in my opinion. We can all agree great video happy new year 2022
Awesome video sensei!!
The west wins because it's 2022
Modern weapons for modern times
Oh I got weapons!
Myrtle Beach, the birthplace of WEAPONS
bros got weapons
Deez nuts 🥜
Icy Mike has that boss Scallywag Tactical sword, that I’m not allowed to buy!
@@KARATEbyJesseyou the goat
The absolute best part was Icy Mike's silence after Jesse used some random stick. It's rare to see Mike at a loss for words but that truly surprised him I think.
And then he went ahead and sliced a tomato with his bare hand in the next challenge
You put a bow staff in a martial artist's hands who's trained for yrs as their main weapon, you're gonna get fucked up
No such thing as a bow staff though. It's just one or three other.
“Are these legal?”
“Dude this is the American South, everything is legal.”
This is very accurate since like 90% of the weapons in this video are illegal in the country I live😂
The only rule for the South is "Fuck around and find out"
Soooo TRUE
Same here... carrying a knife? Or a castete? How you gonna explain in court if something bad happens?
In CZE, none of these are illegal... they are not even considered weapons by the law...
@@Tkoutlosh y’all create some of the best firearms too!!!
Man it's crazy how precise and accurate Jesse is with his strikes. Even with something not so standard like hitting fruit flying at you, the guy makes it look like machine accuracy. Literally demonstrating his incredible skill and dedication by hitting tomatoes with his hand.
I'll say again - these collabs (with Seth, Wonderboy & Oliver too) are GOLD. Educational and entertaining
probably the best thing on youtube atm
So. Much. Fun.
Thank you!! Glad to hear it was worth the effort 🙏
love how Seth was clearly murdered at the end there.
This is better than Netflix.
What I'm most impressed by is just how accurate Jesse is in all his strikes
Years of practice, I assume.
@@ShingenNolaan agreed, the only secret to any martial art.
@@ShingenNolaan yea he's parents owned a dojo so he's been practicing since he was able to walk
Pineapple pizza is Canadian
Iam not he practice that for veeerryy loonngg time.
I think it's beautiful with how much respect and fun you treat each other. It's not about who's best, it's about synergy.
The flashlight *IS* a great self defense weapon. Even more disorienting if it has a strobe effect.
On a random note, I read once that ninjas allegedly used eggshells or paper balloons filled with pepper or crushed glass. They would supposedly throw them at the ceiling, leaving a cloud of dust. This sounds like it could be pretty effective if you were being chased down a hallway.
I was really impressed how well and precise you managed to use an ordinary stick as a weapon.
I actually surprised myself 🤪
Where i live, that ordinary stick is all that’s legal.
@@KARATEbyJesse The flourish sequence was cool but is was really impressed by the structure you put behind what was a very short defensive strike. You find that same motion and position in many other weapon arts.
This would be considered a branch, not a stick. My subject matter expertise comes from being in the CCC & many thousands of hours of Public Conversation Work
@@robertnewell4054 Branch it is, sir! Apologies, English is my third language.
Well, the most brutal kill shot in this video was when (at 2:30) Mike said, "Modern weapons, they are all about getting the most bang for your buck in a small package." and then the camera zooms to Mike's groin.
that was brutal 🤣
hahahahahaha
Maddox wins the day with the camera work 🤣
Bro how did I not notice that
@@angelocarantino4803 you were too busy looking at the self defense tools to notice what was really the focus of the shot. 😉
I agree with the flashlight thought . I've owned a gun for more than 20 years and only felt compelled to pull it twice and both times just the sight of the thing did the job. Meanwhile I probably chased off a dozen suspicious characters and assholes just by shining a flashlight in their direction
Now we just got to glue the weapons together and make a deadly combo, like a flashlight on a katana.
I love how Jesse sticks to tradition his videos always make me want to go do my kata
Great to hear!!
santoryu
I ALWAYS end up doing katas in my room when I watch Jesse´s video!
@@eliasg6813 oNIGIRIII
Yeah me too. Ossu!
At what point do you show hanging the pineapple nuts around your neck? Did you cut that part out?
Dude you’re dead, remember? 👻 #RIPSenseiSeth 💥 #NeverForget 🙏
You were so youngish.
R.I.P Sensei Seth 🥺.
Daniel la russo vs Johnny Lawrence.. irl
When Mike says, that one should hang the fallen enemy nuts around his neck a camera visibly shakes - I'm sure that the cameraman Seth was laughing as well, a feint "tss tss tss" can be heard :D I love Your collabs guys, so entertaining and full of knowledge :)
you were so old 😖
This was great! But in future I'd love to see a more pre-planned version of this where you pair the traditional weapons to their closest modern analogs for the back-to-back comparisons
I have been jumping back and forth through your video history. Was noting how grounded in your stance you are before during and after your strike,clearly showing how ready you were for a follow up if necessary. That was impressive and also how enjoyable the collaboration was between you and mike with Sensai Seth and Oliver in the background
Jesse really surprised me,i tought Icy Mike would be better with more real life and fighting experience,but his movements where fast,powerful and without any wasted effort,almost unreal to the sight. I never thought somebody would be able to do things like those in real life. The cut,the nunchuk strike,the bo,the shuto,were almost to fast for the camera,and so clean that were almost sharp.
I practice lots of kata, that’s why 😇
@@KARATEbyJesse ...I should go practice my kata now.
Jesse's superhuman accuracy with everything he picked up was quite impressive. great video guys, I guess I'll be playing with my kali sticks today lol
Spot on, that stick strike was quite impressive but when he sliced that tomato open with his bare hands, man that was something that i didnt thought it was possible
Agreed but you need spend whole life for that too*
@@omarkharnivall2439 Training, practice, natural genetic advantage, and as they say 'When the mind is right, the sword is right.' (extends to other forms of personal combat)
7:51 - interesting question from Icy Mike. The funny thing is that the Shiruken is just as 'real' as his favourite modern self defence weapon. It's the same as the high powered torch. It distracts the opponent so that you can get away and/or get in quick for a more lethal strike.
God, Mike beating you to the birth place of karate punchline golden. 🤣
The discussion of the usage of Sai is quite interesting. It’s similar to how the Jutte (or Jitte) was used in mainland Japan for law enforcement. Many of the baton movements that Mike shows are also present in modern Juttejutsu and Juppo Sessho.
Same origins in China
Im pretty sure they were also used in china just not neary as widely as in japan.
Sai is a ghae weapon.
What's weirder is that the baton started with Irish stick fighting and evolved.
@@toddellner5283 professor shad would agree
I love how impressed and speechless Icy Mike was after the "stick" demonstration.
Traditional Martial Arts depend on the teacher more than ever.
I now want to see a Maui Thai dude or dudeet do the same fruit destruction.
Th stick is ever reliant and even easy to get aces usually.
Damn been watching hard2hurt for years y’all should do more collabs was very entertaining/informing you see you both give diff perspectives on modern/traditional weaponry
I really love how each side learns from each other rather than deciding on a true victor.
"Are these legal?"
"Dude, this is the American South. Everything is legal."
HELL YEAH!
But i think a mini nuke is still forbiden to carry in the Backpack !
@@killerkraut9179 open carry is legal tho
God bless America!
Shadversity would love to see the mightiest weapon of all time, the Stick, being used so well.
@@chaosknight3605 I thought so too 😂
Up until firearms became general issue, a sharp stick and a club ruled the battlefield.
He'd also be crying about how they used nunchucks cause "those aren't real weapons"
@@springbloom5940 Archery did have its place... and that was before firearms. And so were various impact related weapons (esp ones that also could drive that mass behind a sharp spike as an alternate attack).
Jesse's movements are complete insanity. He looks cool and then there's absolutely no extraneous movement when it comes to the strike - point A to point B in an instant.
Flashlight is absolutely my favorite self defense weapon. Only thing I’ve ever had to use and it has worked every time.
People change there mind really quick when they can’t see and you are barking at them to get back. They don’t know if you have your gun out or what is going to happen next.
I love Icy Mike/Jesse crossovers. You guys always seem like you're having fun together.
Mike is hilarious!!
This was immensely entertaining while also being practically informative… gracias
De nada!

This was a fun and interesting video. There was a safety disclaimer at the beginning, but I wished Jesse would have explained that the "sword" he used to cut the tomato wasn't considered a sword. I thought the Japanese used such an item more like a carrying case to house a blade before actually making it into a sword. It's actually quite dangerous to use that item because it has a sharp blade with no hand guard. Some folks from the Sword Forum site used to talk about how dangerous such a "sword" was to the user because some people have nearly lost fingers using it.
Nope, what you are talking about is a Shirasaya mounting. But the sword used in the video was clearly the wallhanger version of a concealed swordcane probably inspired by the Zatoichi movies or such.
That looked like you both had a great time. I liked the honesty from both Icy Mike and Jesse. Well done video guys!
The Stockholm Slap is one of the most deadly weapons known to man. Only the original Stockton Slap is more deadly, but the secrets of the Stockton Slap are only known to 2 brothers.
Legendary moment at 1:47. he finally said "okinawa, the birthplace of karate" on his own! 😜 love the video Jesse, keep them coming!
Im super impressed on how fast and precise Jesse is able to chpp/slice/hit things. Just amazing
The two of you make a fantastic duo. This calls for a collabo-channel!
I’ve been saying it for years… what you’ve displayed in this great video. Learning the skills from traditional weaponry can be applied to modern and even improvised weapons. Thank you, and Icy Mike for creating this!
Glad to hear it resonates!! 🌟
WOW!!! Awesome content Icy Mike and Jesse! Impressive skills! But huge respect to Jesse showing his weapons techniques! The knife hand cutting the tomato was incredible! It reminded me of Mas Oyama using the knife hand to cut through a watermelon!
Maybe one day I can reach water melon level! 😱
Oh wait. Mas Oyama actually did a knife hand thrust instead of a "chop".
Now I wanna see a video of Jesse testing how well he can use improvised weapons
Man...Ya'll snapped! This was like an episode that could've easily have been broadcasted on a basic cable channel like History or Discovery. Very good shit.
This has to be my most favourite so far, Jesse's timing and co-ordination with weapons and striking is Amazing! imo
What I like the most about this video, is that Mike was the guy critisizing you rather heavily some years ago... Now the both of you really seem to enjoy each other's company! Well done! :-)
I appreciate the simple explanation of when to use a gun. More people need to hear that.
Jesse, you are one accurate individual. Your hand-eye coordination is something else. Thanks for such a fun video.
The PR-24 baton that police used to use (I guess everyone's gone to Asps, CEWs, or OC spray) surely grew out of the tonfa. Blocks, punches, the spin... lots of uses and good for blocking blades, clubs, and bare arms/hands.
The Ninjutsu practitioners I knew of (a friend came half way across Canada to train with them) would tell you that the shuriken was also used as a distraction (like chucking a rock in the bushes/night), a lure (if someone sticks one of them in you, you might go after them with a sword and some friends) or as something you could either throw at a pursuer (aiming for the knee, thigh etc) or the fancy head shot Jesse did (great throw!). They could also be sunk into the ground and the guy coming after steps on it and it takes him out of a pursuit. Most of what Ninja training revolved around misdirection, breaking contact, and disabling pursuit. They have kicks which mix kick and forward roll driven by the kick to gain distance.
Mind you, my friend one time made one out of about 5/16" thick iron stock. (a 6 pointed star like the Star of David). It easily outweighed any star I saw made of stainless or of thinner construction. With one of those, you'd have shorter range, but when we tested it at his place by throwing it at an aluminum garage door (throwing overhand with the star vertical) from about 10', it blew *right through* the aluminum door with no real trouble. A heavy star like that could actually do a lot of damage if it caught you in the neck, head or a hand with the power of the impact and the sharp edges on the star being driven by that.
Another modern self defense thing is the tactical pen. Some are made of titanium, others high grade aluminum or brass, and they have a tip (could be on the end or at the cap) that is designed to concentrate force on a *small* area and that is designed to take you pounding it into someone's body (held like the flashlight your buddy had). Some of them would literally punch through the bones in the skull and if it hit the softer parts, you could do even worse things. No screwing around - very short range though.
I'm a fan of one of the tools used in Aikido training - the shorter staff (Jo). The Jo training is useful because it can handle bare handed, sticks, clubs, blades, etc if you know what you are doing. And a walking stick is only slightly shorter than that so you can carry one of those almost anywhere (just get a hardwood one of solid construction). Walk with it and if you must, defend with it.
I like Mike's practical views and Jesse's dedication to traditions
Keep up the great work sensei, you inspire me and motivate me to train for my martial arts and just get better at them every single day. Karate was my first martial art, now I train for mma but I'm not gonna lie everytime after watching one of your videos, I just wanna get back to karate. I started at 7 years old and I have a strong feeling I'll end it all with karate.
Awesome!! Makes me happy to hear 🌟
I really like this guy. He seemed so fascinated with the new age weaponry.
Its so blatantly obvious you guys are having a such a blast it makes it fun to watch you guys have so much fun. It really feels more like watching two bros being goofy and doing stupid shit together than a collaboration without even trying. This some 100% non-gmo, pesticide free, pasture raised, FAD approved quality content you got there.
You should do an analysis on escrima, hema, and other weapon based martial arts and compare them to Kobudo.
Already in motion!!
I love how much fun everyone had and the mutual respect shown here. That's the lesson I'm taking away from this.
This video was so great!
I was blown away by Jesse's obvious talent. I loved what Mike brought to the table, and I was also really impressed by his answer at the end when he was not afraid to admit that training in Kobudo was impressive. Imagine the modern weapons Mike was using in Jesse's hands. Mike was also very impressive. I was very skeptical when he brought out brass knuckles because almost anyone who has tried to Actually full on punch something with them knows they are not as functional as movies portray, similarly he was incredibly accurate with the small defense knife, but modern day weapon are designed for low training, high results, and I am sure that if you took a novice, and handed them all of these weapons, they would excell more with more of the modern weaposn rather than the ancient ones, however Jesse did a fantastic job of proving that his training is more relevant than the weapon he is actually using.
Thanks for your kind words!
Well thats the point of his training. Training the body to deliver his weapons in a self protection scenario.
13:10 Before the nightsticks became standard equipment for the Swedish police, they (just like so many others) had sabres.
Those had a sharp(ish) edge, but the normal usage was to strike with the flat of the blade to empathize commands, or the rigid back for effect.
Use of Force Steps:
1. Command.
2. Command and whack with side of the blade to emphasis the need to comply with Command.
3. Command and if they just haven't got the message, open them from neck to navel with the Sabre...
"Any tool is a weapon if you hold it right." - Ani DiFranco
"A weapon is a device for making your enemy change his mind." - Lois McMaster Bujold
This was both FUN AND INFORMATIVE. You can't beat that.
Good job to the defenders and the filmers.
Thanks!
Just stumbled upon this video. I love how humble and laid back Icy Mike is. I appreciated his discussion about the levels of street violence and self-defense in general. There are very few martial artists who emphasize the principle of not hurting your opponent too much in a minor brawl or conflict. Kudos, very mindful.
Jesse is the most humble killing machine I've ever seen 😂
Love this. 🙏❤️. I agree that a flashlight is a great self-defense tool even when you’ve trained in traditional Martial Arts. But you both forgot about pocket sand! 😅
Extremely entertaining and fun collaborative episode 😂 I watch both Mike's and your content; it's a good match and you have a good dynamic.
Glad you enjoy it!
Karate nerd and icey mike collaboration so good and entertaining as well. Loved it!
Awesome video!! And props to mike for recognizing that the best defense is not getting into trouble in the first place, these are all for a last resort scenario.
Thank you for bringing us peak Icy Mike!
Wow! If I think Ice Mike used to make fun of you, is so nice to see now how respectful and friendly he’s become.
Nice context bu the way, and east came out on top. “Can’t beat the classic”
2:34 "in a small package"
*zooms in*
don't do the man dirty like that 😂
Shurikens are fascinating. The star shaped ones were mostly used as a distraction and didn't do much real damage but were commonly used with poison. The most deadly shurikens we're actually the spike shurikens. Takes more skill and aren't nearly as cool looking, but... Turns out if someone throws metal spiked rods into your body, it hurts and does damage. Who knew?
Just found your videos not that long ago, fun to watch but learned alot as well.
I've just started learning nunchucks, and it was incredible to see you strike the pineapple and still retain control over the weapon. We finally have proof it's a weapon!
Great video Jesse, I'm very impressed with your skills not only as a Karateka, but as a UA-camr.
Thanks! It’s lots of hard work… but it’s a labor of love ☺️
@@KARATEbyJesse Know the feeling. I've had to scale down on how much time I put into things over the years (more so promotion than the creative process, but both) to find a work life balance, having become a father and still juggling this alongside my "real" job. But what I do is very rewarding nonetheless, that said I feel that you're the best "UA-camr" out of all the Martial Arts UA-camrs out there.
@@ZenDragonUA-camChannel Thanks for your kind words, I appreciate it! 🙏 Congratulations on fatherhood!! 🌟
grea video. i liked how you guys basically showed that the weapon origin doesn't matter, you can get the same effect if you know what your doing.
Like both stations but I think this is the best video I have seen in months
Jesse needs his own show on TV! This is some high quality entertainment!
The man was a fully humble gentleman I've ever seen, gave us the whole 8 years experience in a matter of seconds...
Awesome video, and the best one I have seen with Icy Mike. Excellent interactions, and fun
Wow, thanks!
Great stuff guys, I've never seen such serious subject matter done so hilariously, but still get it's points across. And it reminded me when I was a young teenager, my friends and I teaching ourselves to use the nonchuks. We wacked ourselves in the head so many times, we were our own worst enemies.
Then we found a guy selling foam rubber nonchuks, just for learning.....man those were like a godsend. Your video was great incidentally.
Much appreciated!
More of those collabs, please. Love the vibe and educational values here, Jessie.
Fantastic video! I loved this collaboration from start to finish. Your martial arts skills were really impressive and definitely showed the benefits of rigorous, consistent training.
Thank you so much 🙏
I loved your interactions. Great idea. Awesome stick work.
Hi Jesse, I was lucky enough to have lived in Okinawa, Japan for 4 years due to the U.S. Marines in middle school there I was fortunate enough to get to see a comparison between Okinawa weaponry and weaponry from mainland Japan, presented by an Okinawain Samurai in 2015-2016 timeframe. Since then I’ve wanted to see a comparison of U.S. weapons vs Okinawain weapons
I quit karate as a kid a few years ago, now I wanna try it again as a teen after seeing this channel, tysm jesse!!
That staff improvisation was impressive
10:18 “Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting a tomato in a fruit salad.”
I absolutely love Mike's reaction to the ancient law enforcement sai. History is so cool in it's own right. I make comics so I know all about embellishing but the truth is amazing too.
I'm so glad yall all got so many content together!!!
Me too!!
Jesse’s training was the most formidable weapon. 🙏🏼
Great video as always. Thank you 🤘
This is the coolest video I've seen in such a long time!
I was fortunate to come across a Japanese instructor that was an Uchi Deshi for O'Sensei, and to have had many one on one sessions with him when we moved to a new dojo space
These were basically 45-50 minutes of nonstop practice, trying to move an immovable object
He was right there with us, picking up materials, orchestrating the mat construction, working along side us, leading by example
This video is amazing! Not only is it hilarious, and you all look like you’re having a great time, there is real, usable info in this video. Good job, this is one of my new favorites!
Jesse you’re always impressing us with all the new boundaries you’re willing to push.
Great content. And after watching this video I'm willing to learn from you whenever it might be possible.
It would be nice to watch a friendly sparring with trainer versions of these weapons!
I think the eastern weapons win in terms of practical application for more of their weapons but lose in terms of concealability in the modern day, plus laws being pretty random about whether they're outlawed or not. Such a great demonstration, I never really saw an icy mike video before these collabs but it is so cool to see different people come together and just geek out over martial arts
Agreed, it's clear the eastern weapon weren't made with court in mind.
@@saiyanninjawarriorz they were in fact, but they were made with existing Japanese (or other country) law in ind, not f.e. XXI centaury Poland law. Even if they somehow predicted it they would rather stick to own law as f.e. in Okinawa people could carry nunchaku but couldn't carry swords as far as I know. In XXI Poland nunchaku is illegal but Polish law is one of most liberal in terms of blades. In theory you can carry katana for self defense (no one does as cops don't know law too well plus some are assholes). Plus you know, using it in fight would be risky at court
Omg!
all of these weapons are awesome!
Both Jesse and Mike made good points about them!
6:30
THAT is so solid advice!
That's also why I carry knife + flashlight. Versatility. Most violent crimes are committed within knife distance. Awareness and training with a knife is good practice and pretty much the most dangerous thing you can get within a 10 foot radius.
Love it when you guys collaborate! As a Goju-Ryu practitioner, I was very pleased to see the application of traditional martial arts weapons with today's modern tools. Excellent work, fellas!
That was a pretty neat weapons test! And what he said about the flashlight was really interesting. And I mean, who's gonna tell you to leave your flashlight behind?
its awsome how all the self defence and martial arts guys I follow are colabing now
That was great. Any training is better than no training. I have trained in more traditional martial arts and its true that training allows me to use virtually anything as a weapon. I would say study as many martial arts as possible old and new its all good. But nothing beats situational awareness.
One of the funnest episodes I have seen and a great collaboration. You guys rock.
Happy New Year to all! Hopefully the making of interesting and informative karate videos will continue for a long time to come.
I’m only getting started 😎
