Jesse Enkamp cool gloves.
Awesome as always Jessie btw what type of gloves are those ??
Very good and amazing explanations and tips Jesse ... Thank you so much ... We have a lot to learn with you ...
At first I thought you was a bit condescending but after a few minutes I thought after coming back to karate after a good few years away I'm making those kind of mistakes. And that end exercise I cant believe I've never seen before. It's so simple yet so beneficial. It's a technique for beginners and experts. Think I will be showing my daughters these techniques from now on
Coming back into karate. My age is a concern in my 50's and the joint aches and pain. Told to exercise work out. I love Karate
Any Suggestions would be greatly appreciated. What are some good warm up exercises to get into doing the stances eg Horse Stance. Looking forward to hearing back from you
My dad was a boxer so as a result, I was raised boxing before entering Taekwondo. One of the mistakes he told me to avoid is bouncing too high. I see a lot of kids bouncing-especially when switching stances- without regard to the fact that they have to come down before striking or avoiding an attack. Thats part of what causes the delays (stopping) prior to striking. I have always had success with the scraping the mat with the balls of my feet when changing steps or sliding in for attacks...in this way your always closer to terraferma. I think the “dropping” technique is a great approach to teaching kids this concept and will incorporate it in my training. Thank you for sharing.
Bouncing is very underrated by people. The difference of speed out of bouncing vs. Flat footed is quite significant. Conserving energy is the motto. The ankles function as feather joints
I wonder Why Mike Tyson didn't do bouncing but just charged fwrd and delivered the ko punches 😅
When I was first beginning I lost a match in a tournament for this reason - my opponent caught on that they could time their shots to when I hopped and was essentially vulnerable in the air. Needless to say I stay closer to the ground now hahaha.
@@rashidmdamin5552 mike Tyson did bounce but because he was a great weight his bouncing was more discrete. When I did Boxing for the first few months I did not bounce at all and there were kids that just bounced for style points. Our trainer emphasized that the bounce should come naturally and should be done to become less predictable and be able to move your feet to find the best angles from where to attack and to find the safe shot within your opponents range. Black boxers even in the heavy weights tend to bounce a little bit more, but if you look at the lighter weights specially good Mexican fighters you'll see a more discrete bounce. When your feet at planted in theory you can project more power but you become more vulnerable to your opponents power. I eventually did developed a bounce but still walk the ring and only bounced when within striking distance.
@@rashidmdamin5552 1:03 is the answer
Even as a student of 10+ years, I still take lessons from your videos. Some excellent points and a fantastic communication style. Thank you
Jesse, i just want to thank you for giving me the will to come back in a dojo after 10 years off. Its good to see someone with a more "real" karate approach. Respect from Belgium 💪😉
Three years later, I'm actually seriously trying this after years of self-doubt, anxiety, OCD and overthinking caused me to lose all my old skill. I have to say, I'm finding it more efficient for my particular, personal style; since I prefer to create angles and close large distances quickly to utilize a strong offense, this is incredibly helpful to me. Additionally, since I'm doing this outside of attack range, I don't need to worry about being more susceptible to strikes due to not being grounded.
But don’t bounce during judo or you’ll get sweeped
A practitioner of any style could time a bounce and counter with a sweep as in a leg sweep or takedown its not a tactic that is only unique to a judo practioner.
@@demondcarter4317 true
Good video
Perhaps this one of the reason why old karateka dont bounce too often
@@shadowlancer45 Its actually because karate is more of a counter punching style
Dope! Never thought of bouncing as dropping. Great explanation
That is a million dollar worthy gem right there
My Karate family, 5 strong, three kids, and two dedicated parents wish to thank you for taking the time to make these videos. We find them very informative, and value your opinions in our goal to make us continually more well rounded. Reaching out to say thanks from Northern New York.
Thank you so much! 😄 Makes me super happy to hear. Families that kick together stick together! 💪👊👍
I get where you are coming from Jesse. For me, when I started in Okinawan Karate I bounced in sparring. And got taken down with leg sweeps time after time. I developed ways to deal with that. But the best way I found (personally) was to stop bouncing. My sensei said - snakes don't bounce and yet they strike fast. Be smooth, coil your springs, strike like a snake but stay connected to the ground. I have practiced that way ever since.
I agree with you jutsu56. Ive been taught in a style of combat...i think this is more of a sparring thing.
good good good.. iraqi karateka
youre not a snake.. youre a human
I don't understand the concept of bouncing, so I don't bounce but father taught me flow/rythame, were I put all my support on the ball of my feet and moved gently side to side. Which create a nice rythem
@@hoodlum4511 That's the exact thing
3:03 "When you appreciate the power of nature, knowing the rhythm of any situation, you will be able to hit the enemy naturally and strike naturally."
Miyamoto Musashi....
iam not a karate fighter
but your chanell is very good
for all martial arts thanks ❤️❤️
Despite not having any martial arts training, I still enjoy watching these these videos to learn something interesting if I ever get into a fight. Never got into one (and I plan to avoid it ) but ya never know.
Your not going to be prepared for a fight unless you train. As Ramsey Dewey says "get out there and train."
Honestly I thought you were going bonkers when I saw the video title, but when you started explaining I completely got it. Thank you for making me see bouncing in a new light.
Hah! That’s awesome, makes me glad to hear 👍
I love the part about coming down, finding that moment of least resistance. Also at 3:44 how Sensei Jesse includes exploring the different options. I love to change from narrow-wide stances and even regular to get a feel for the fight. Or even switching from righty to lefty stances. It seems unorthodox, but if you have fights or spar it is a very useful tactic.
i saw that the last mistake during bouncing, is very common in national tournament of karate.a lot of dojo didn't teach well the bouncing and studied it! this is a very good video ! oss!
Hallo everyone,I was a karate practitioner and in the last 11 years a switched to Capoeira.That exercise with X on the ground is great and it resume one of my hardest challenges when I moved from kumite to the capoeira jogo (that's our way to cal the free fight).I can say that diagonal way to enter a fighter guard are insanely great,in karate is call Tai sabaki.But is every time about risk a strike .
Any way we use all the X spaces including the "red parts" during our "bouncing motion" that we call Jinga.
Many compliments jesse sensei , your channel is very inspirational for me and my path on martial arts
I learned so much from this video! Thank you, Jesse! I used to jump instead of dropping down. Jumping exerted so much energy that I wouldn't have any left to actually fight and as a consequence, I would get over-exhausted during my training. I started practicing while watching this video and wow! it's bizarre how much something as simple as dropping instead of jumping can improve my performance. Will definitely be exploring more of your content! Cheers brother!
Wooo I'm glad about this video, because last week I was helping a student who asked me how to move better in a fight and I talked about these 3 points. Thanks for the extra exercise, I used to traind just with one line, oss!
for extra difficulty, you can incorporate evasive head motions by creating a similar shape with twine taped to the nearest walls at head height
@Kintaro800 in what motherfucking universe? no seriously, tell me how the conventional wisdom of boxing muaythai and MMA, all styles built around being able to evade a jab, the fastest head strike there is, is wrong about that? if you mean rhythm, then you in NO way need to move in a pattern. no matter what technique you are throwing, you can break rhythm at any time. if you can't, then that's a problem with the way your training.
@Kintaro800 then those fighters are doing it wrong. head movement isnt supposed to be rhythmic.
awesome guy, nice to watch, very funny and very educating. and i like he doesn't discriminate any martial arts, like most smart asses do.
Brilliant video! I see one of my sensais do the drop perfectly when sparring. She then comes at me like a Japanese bullet train. I tend to jump too high and get tired. I'm going to put these into practice and get myself some jump rope. Thanks Sensai Jesse!
Thanks, sensei Jesse. I am brazilian, a Shotokan practioner and use to find the correct boucing very difficult. I will try to improve that. Your video helped me so much. OSS!
Jesse's teachings are the best!! OSS!
Being a taekwondo fighter it helped me too thanx sir 🙏
When I taught I discouraged jumping around because it makes it easier to take you down by getting under the foot, even if you are moving down, the reason I heard was the purpose was to make it harder to hit a moving target. Dropping down could make a difference but like I frequently demonstrated you always have your chi pushing down and moving only what you needed to help you defend yourself on the streets. My method worked quite well even with several different systems of martial arts. Just putting in my 2 cents worth. Like I said I can’t do or train at this point because of my disability, but I do practice as much as I can and still enjoy what I can do. I know you enjoy the martial arts as much as I do and hope others also do.
Superb sir.... A big bow to you. Very very informative, very useful and practical
Very good tips and excellent pronunciation buddy. Thanks a lot
One of the best video i ever see...thank you Jessi sensei
I've been struggling with how to be mobile with my boxing, I can't express how much this clears everything up
Excellent video sensei Jesse! Very clear explanation and also a very simple but really effective exercise🥋👌👍
Will definitely be using this exercise at my dojo. My students will love this, thanks Jesse!
Dude you are truly amazing, i think a lot more coaches/sensei's should follow youre approach
I like the comment below re "a snake", yes, a snake does not bounce neither does a bullet in the barrel of a gun. I am 77 and have bad knees, not to mention getting out of breath. As such I have developed a style of my own to suit. I do a lot of aikido which includes aikiken, a sword art, as well as karate. So I fight sideways on which comes natural to me from aiki ken. I am also a counter striker and tend to close on an opponent while doing something to confuse the opponents perception of ma-ai. Very big on kizami zuki and working the line. As such I am quite outside of the normal 'box', which in itself is an advantage. One has to work with the tools one has.
Anyway, that said, Jesse, I think your videos are the best on UA-cam, much appreciated.
Excellent tutorial. Thank you.
Your defination helped me to achieve success. I am very grateful to you jesse
Sir I am preparing my son for kumite . This video will help me alot after I see your karate foot work video. Much thanks sir . Thanks again.
a very detailed instruction about drops movement and errors. thankyou very much sensei for sharing us your ideas.
The bouncing as dropping is a fantastic description, and only something that was actually taught to me once I was learning Taijutsu. I had done seven years of Tae Kwon Do before, now maybe because I was very young, but I had never actually been taught any good strategies for bouncing and never quite understood the how, why, when or where of it. I have actually incorperated this training method for both Taijutsu as unarmed and using weapons as well as when training in Kendo. I set up Two "X's" and with the partners facing each other they move with timing as well as control. EG one is offensive the other defensive in movement. Always facing each other, this way both get a feel for how to bounce defensively and offensively and make best use of the space, time and distance it can create.
Very very helpful video..bravo Jesse 👏
Awesome lesson, thanks Jesse.
This is the type of video I was looking for
Thanks. Great work 💪❤
Thanks Jesse Sensei...you are an awesome teacher!
Very interesting. You have understood a lot about martial arts (and presumably life in a wider sense).
one of the best best n useful video master....... it's help in my DOJO .... osssssss
Great video as always 👊 thank You Jesse 🥋
very nice teaching. my salute with respect.
I'll have to try this! I'll need to experiment with the angle and timing for my shuto uchi.
Hi Jesse, congratulations for your videos, they are amazing!
About the bouncing, usually, I bounce in and out of the opponent's attack range to always keep him busy trying to learn when I'm going to attack. I have a stronger attack when I have a good base (of course) and I can leverage my body weight into the attack so I usually attack when getting the opponent inside my attack range or just after reaching it.
Keep on doing those amazing videos!
I'll try tomorrow, thank you so much !
We are of Kindred Spirit my Brother. Through the years I’ve learned by doing and searching for practical solutions for the imperfections in the traditional Chung Do Kwan style, that was pretty much monkey see monkey do. I’m one of these people who always wanted to break it down to the physics of it all at a young age. The bunny hop I never did care for because of the reasons you pointed out and always found it easy to defeat that method. Mine was to glide & mix movements and create openings invite an attack and move in with a hard block to overwhelm opponents. My style gone from mostly legs in the 80’s to mostly hands now, economy of movement has been a rule for me for energy management as well as strategy. Not a whole lot of practitioners put much emphasis on stances and mobility as myself, instead they liked to concentrate on fancy kicks the Superfoot Wallace kicks and such. I do notice that you settle into your stance then move without a bounce, but yes using gravity to burst forward with a lunge is a great demonstration of how things work scientifically in the realm of physics.
Amazing explication with amazing exemples
New subscriber! Thank you so much for sharing sooo many helpful tips Sensei Jesse! Ossu!
I used your tips this evening at my Taekwondo class and I felt twice as fast as usual and beat many a sparring partner to the punch/kick off the line. Thanks a lot, I really enjoy your videos and my reminds me of my Goju Ryu days!
Awesome video! Added this to my karate game
Great tips. Love the exercise at the end. Thank you
You're so welcome Matt!
Holy shit. Been training for nearly 30 years and that first simple point flicked a light bulb, thanks man!
Thanks fo the excellent explanation and video
This is very nice! I agree with the 3 mistakes.
Thank You Jesse-san For this Informative Video Luv From Tamilnadu (INDIA)
Great video. Two points against jumping could be: If you read opponent's jumping rythm you can attack when he starts off the jump, second point is that you can perform ashi barai the moment he lands, just before re jumping. In my oppinion
Wow excellent coaching! Well done 👏🏾!
thanks sensei.. ☺ it helps me a lot..in shotokan style .. I'm your fan..
Thank you for tips Sensei Jesse
very helpful video... thanks for sharing... waiting for next video..
Din kanal är fantastisk!
Thanks for the ideas, used the rope exercise with the junior sparring class I've started assisting with...it was a night of footwork...
Great video. Learned a lot there!
Excellent video explanation and exercise thank you as always
HOW did i train karate for 3 years and not get taught that first tip, it all makes so much more sense now wow
Hi Jesse. I get what you're saying but I think it's very important that beginners understand that it's not bouncing up and down like a video game character but rather from place to place so you're making use of the fighting space you have or changing the angle of approach to create doubt and uncertainty in your opponent's mind about how you're actually going to attack. Ultimately we want them to hesitate in some way to open up opportunities to strike or taken down etc. In Kendo we avoid bouncing as much as possible because we need to be able to use the full range of motion of our left calf to drive forward, however we still use this dynamic approach to footwork of manipulation of distance, centre line and timing to create clear opportunities to strike. So this kind of 1- 2 timing of the movement is important as opposed to both feet being off the ground at once. Would you agree with that from the perspective of your discipline ?
Great video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! What kind of mits do you have there?
Wow thanks Jesse! And very useful exercise, I think I gonna show this ti my dojo mates. Thank You!!
Excellent video and drill!
Could you make a video of comparing and using different skills from both taekwondo and karate?
I literally just learned the concept of downward bouncing at the Dojo, and now I have an awesome exercise to practice it! Thanks so much Jesse!
master plz add more vdo about karate weapons
In my system of kung fu we do not bounce. Mainly because northern Shaolin practitioners tend to use a lot of sweeps. But instead we do what is called stance stepping. That's when we take all the stances, stepping, turning, and shifting and let it flow into one continuous movement. We move and change the hands as we're stepping to block, cover, and then strike when necessary.
awesome tips, thanks. I have this movement problem, that makes me rather slow. I'll try it at home.
I understand the whole video. I do karate and I have quick speed of my fist and kicks . Plus I watch boxing for beginners I learned the basic of shadow boxing and footwork.
I really like how you said bouncing is based on fighting style. I would also say there is a big difference in a sports fight and a real life fight. In Hapkido we tend to stay still, but we are a self defense art and not a sport based art. One reason we stay still is the psychological aspect of “freaking out” the opponent. Another reason is that we train to defend from any angle. The person doesn’t have to be in front of you. It’s almost like thanks for moving behind me into a back kick lol. Great video man! Very thought provoking.
Thank you sensei ❤️ It is very helpful to me 👍
It's always very pedagogical lessons from you Jesse! Thank you for sharing your tips!
Another useful video to focus on, these videos help so much with my karate!!
I absolutely love your channel. After not doing karate now for almost 10 years, and having had a 18 year break before that one year come back, you have revamped my interest. On bouncing... I used to not bounce. I wanted to keep at least one foot on the floor to be able to move at any split second if I need to. I also used an opponent's bouncing against him in a national tournament here in South Africa. I timed my attack to perfection by attacking as he landed - and scored two points like that which ended up in a medal at the championship. After comparing your video, I think his mistake was that he bounced too high. (by the way - South Africa bought their fighter jets from Sweden - if you have a look at my channel you'll see how many videos I've taken over the years of the Gripen)
Thanks sensei, i am very glad to know the techniques now i can make my karate style even better
Very useful tips.
