4 Ancient Karate Techniques For Practical Self-Defense

Learn the historical bunkai (practical kata applications) by Jesse Enkamp, from Okinawa - the birthplace of Karate. Handed down by Bubishi, the "bible of Karate", these self-defence techniques were promoted by masters like Motobu Choki, Funakoshi Gichin and Mabuni Kenwa. The Bubishi was researched and translated by Patrick McCarthy (IRKRS / Koryu Uchinadi). Big thanks to Oliver Enkamp for the demonstration. Visit www.karatebyjesse.com to learn more!

Jesse Enkamp I'm an old guy (mid 60's) &I just want to say I've only seen a couple your videos tonight, & although my athletic days are behind me, I find your presentation,explanations & videos quite entertaining.

[@takingbacktoxic7898]

If you have not seen "Chin Na in Depth" dvd series by Dr. Yang Jwing Ming, you would probably enjoy it very much. As he does the techniques you will no doubt see all of the overlap between the small joint manipulation of kung fu, karate, and jujitsu.

[@eddierivera7206]

It depends how do you program your training session? I try to include it application once a week . I chose just a easy one depending the rank of my students

[@BALTHAZARBOBBIWOLL]

This is, Jesse-san, perhaps the most clarifying single instruction on karate and in the end, self defense, I have ever seen. I practice Kyokushin and there is so much to be learnt by studying the history, the development and the different approaches to karate, and you have done so much to create awareness about our art. I bow with a most sincere ”osu”. Domo arigato.

[@stefansandbergsweden]

I would love if you could do a "whole kata bunkai series". 🥋 I mean like a video series on specific kata you feel have great value for us interested in self-defense, where you show the kata in question and after that you break it into peaces and show us how to drill the techniques shown in the kata. 🥋 Osu! I would by it if you make a DVD out of it. 💪

[@reivhal9057]

this is the best karate channel ive seen in youtube and i learned a lot about karate. Thank you.

[@gw1357]

Jesse's presentation of bunkai has completely changed my opinion of karate. I had considered a very impractical art overly focused on an artificial, overly simplistic "one strike, one kill" mindset. I realize now that traditional Okinawan karate is much deeper and more subtle and has a lot to offer for practical fighting. Very cool.

[@brianwilliams8033]

Three weeks ago I received the Bubishi. Can’t hardly put it down. Pretty deep concepts so I will keep exploring. Thanks for the video, great way to connect with those of us who are new readers of the Bubishi.

[@otisbeck5327]

By the way Kenpo/Kempo is one of a few names for Okinawan Karate as well as formerly Totejutsu (China Hand art); Tang Soo Do is the Korean version of To-te. Gwonbup Korean for Chuan Fa/Kenpo. The Chinese Boxing techniques have poetic names and meanings.

[@stevethomasinnova]

This is good stuff, especially for those who aren't currently training in one of the grappling arts. I see many similarities in this to techniques I train in Krav Maga, which makes sense considering Krav is an amalgam of many traditional forms.

[@mauricematla1215]

Anything alive today basicly is, at best, an interpertation of other people's stuff. Conpletely logical OC.

When you did the: "tiger pulling down a bore" somthing just clicked in me and I finally understood how to do a bunkai for a part of a kata that I was training about for the last year. It's amazing how ancient and intresting the origins of kata are!

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Awesome!! 😄💪

[@tombruno7438]

Great breakdown of the Bubishi applications.

[@mihaicatalincaliman3850]

And because okinawan karate come from south china marral arts this explane why okinawan k is more of a close fighting system rather japanese karate

[@swdw973]

Naha te- Southern arts Shuri-te Northern arts Uechi Ryu (Pan gai noon)- Southern arts

[@Cyclonus5]

@Miyagi Dojo I am sure it had different names in different eras and times but as far as I can tell it was often called 手組 TeGumi, the same as Kumite but reversed, with it meaning hand meeting, hand organization, or hand grouping, with the cultural implications being it's like a tussle, an informal scrap, or good natured wrestling bout rather than life nor death fighting. I have also heard that Tegumi wasn't even a codified style any more than the wrestling that occurred amongst lumberjacks; more just get in there and wrestle for fun and social prestige than general fighting, and that Pinan Nidan/Heian Shodan was meant to have tools to defend yourself if Tegumi match got personal or out of hand.

[@Kodoc12]

Japanese Karate directly comes from Okinawan Karate :) It was modified mostly for educational purposes

[@ralphdavis3640]

@mullah amin yes, these techniques can be executed without the knowledge of katas. Katas were ways to preserve the techniques and self defense principles of a particular system of karate. Katas allow a practitioner to train the moves without a partner. It is up to each individual to discover practical applications for the kata movements. This is why the Bubishi is such an important martial art text. I hope my response helps your understanding.

[@Cyclonus5]

@@Kodoc12 with respect, I wouldn't call the removal of content educational. It may have come over unchanged but it was changed once it arrived.

I’m 22 and haven’t done karate since I was a young teenager but one step at a time as I’m working to also overcome a physical disability I had gotten...but all is possible !

[@gouravbanerjee3909]

Oss Jesse.Bubishi is real treasure for a karateka.. Thank you to spread the real spirit of 'Budo'.Every Karateka should know the origin of it. Because true knowledge comes from root knowledge..

[@PhilDancer]

This is truly beautiful. Breaking down the genuine movements that existed back then proves to all the haters and ney sayers out there who think that traditional martial arts dont work. It shows modern fighters that a lot of what they practice now comes from Okinawa and China. Therefore, we should respect the roots regardless of our style.

As a student and instructor in Historical fencing, seeing karatekas working through their history is fascinating.

[@kenohki3492]

Thanks for the video! Only recently began watching your videos. I remember taking a karate course for a college credit waaaaay back and learning the technique you demonstrated in number 2. I remember because the sensei pointed out the position of the elbow was important when doing the lock. If it is in the wrong position, the pressure isn't in the right spot and isn't effective. Your presentation is both educational and entertaining. Your enthusiasm and love for karate and learning is truly infectious!
