Jesse Enkamp Can you show Savate Martial Art?

[@justinstuart8382]

Your accent where are you from my friend?

[@rievaburhan609]

hi Jesse, would you make a video that demontrate the mawashi uke and hiki uke also the differences of those two? thanks

[@daniel213141]

Thanks for sharing. A very concise description about foot placement and turning relative to your target. This is something I've always had trouble with.

[@PelegoRecords]

Jesse Enkamp, Great Advice!!! Thanks, Bro!!! 😇

[@gingercore69]

Fun fact, if you do those "hip thrusts" with the foots further apart and closer together, you train "accesory muscles" wich means muscles that their primary use is not the "back kick" but if you train them they "help" with the back kick anyway... And the one "further apart" if you have your feet far enough, they help with the side kick too n.n Another fun fact, the back kick is the best kick to kick down a door... Well... Its not a fun fact if you are a door...

[@oracle1155]

I have trained with a lot of instructors over many years & seen 100's of karate videos. Sensie Jesse, I humbly suggest U R one of the best instructors I have ever seen. So glad I discovered your channel, to help show us the traditional way, with such a clear explaination, with exercises. Awesome.

[@1964JEDAGI]

Very well done. That demo hits home with me. I was a student of karate for years. The school I attended closed and I took a break for a few years. Later I started back in a local TKD school. They didn't do a turning back kick. They said it was old school and obsolete. They did turning side kicks instead. Later I became one of the instructors and I taught all the students I had all the techniques. Back kick, turning back kick and turning side kick. The back kick with the foot perpendicular to the ground can slip in between your aponents guards. There was one more we learned in karate. We called it flying back kick. I'm sure you are familiar with it. Jump by lifting your knee like doing a basketball layup. Turn 180° in the air and throw the back kick with the opposite foot/leg. The back kick is arguably one of the most powerful kicks. I got caught by one sparring right below the sturnum. It took what seemed like forever to get my breath back. Lol Thanks for the demo and do a video on the flying/ jump spin back kick.

[@cookiemonster4673]

cool story bro.

[@ayisyenkonsekan9964]

The back kick ( ushiro geri ) is not one of the most powerful kick, it's the most powerful kick!

[@ericfournier6644]

Hi, Jesse. It's always a pleasure to see your videos, not only for the aspects of the karate itself but also for the very sympathetic way you communicate with people. Really. Except karate, the most beautiful thing in you is your soul and open mind spirit...Karate has certainly brought to you a real spiritual and psichic balance and it's a real pleasure to feel the way you're full of life. When we see you, we feel the need to be your friend spontaneously ! Thanks a lot for your way of communicating life and simplicity through the things you share in your videos. Maurice from France

[@benjaminvega7186]

Again I find that your old videos are helping me in the present. All my muscles for this kick are lacking, for the very reasons you said. But now I can strengthen my body as well as my technique. Thank you yet again

[@thomasflewellyn4848]

I have been practicing martial arts for years and the back kick has been a very troubling kick for me. You have given me great clarity thank you so much

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Glad to help

[@bobbobalu9664]

Jesse, I've just come across your YT channel and I must say I'm so much impressed bu the amount of work you put into every video and the quality of knowledge you pass to people. Thank you!

[@rocasag91]

Certainement l'un des cours les plus instructifs.Merci de votre générosité et de ce partage. Votre humilité vous honore.

[@kevinmcgrath127]

Jessie provides lucid and detailed explanations...very helpful.

[@Muuuuuuuuusty]

great lesson, such an under rated kick, specially in taekwondo when most fighter do a turning kick with their back foot which opens their body to your back kick to counter :D thank you again, the flexibility and tips definitely help to speed up the kicking speed

[@CloakandDaggersPapa]

your understandings are very reasonable and are easy to follow.

[@kylepeters157]

thankyou jesse sensai, i couldnt get my ushiro geri to work before but these exercises and techniques will help me out and improve my ushiro geri massively, thankyou

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Wonderful! Glad my tips help. Good luck! :-)

[@calistowagai4291]

Thanks alot for your clear and audible explanation sensei

[@5dragonskarategoryukarate-890]

I love watching your videos on kicking. Exactly what I teach my students. Great to see someone with traditional techniques.

[@ferfra1970]

Excellent video as usual Jesse. The bridge is way more advance than the previous exercise. I like the progressive variation you showed in order to achieve the final posture. I still struggle doing this at yoga class, and one advice I got was to first bend my neck as support and then push with the arms to extend the back. Hope this helps

[@razorart4356]

Can u do a tutorial on ushiro mawashi geri(spinning hook kick).

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Yeah why not! :-)

[@TheWarkilla]

as well as on (ushiro) ura mawashi geri? Your explantions and demonstrations seem very reasonable and are easy to follow :)

[@yeshuaeselmashiaj6037]

Learning and training everyday of quarentine with Sensei Enkamp. Oss.

[@cskok2097]

Thank you Jesse sensei! sending Love all the way from Malaysia

[@abhayrajchawda9149]

Best explanation with flexibility and mobility exercises thank u sir for sharring ur knowledge with us 🙏

[@rimfiredragon2283]

Rarely do I subscribe to a channel but your instruction and explanations are fantastic. Thanks for creating videos that are so helpful.....

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Thank you! 🙏

[@navinthiyambarawatte5121]

When I learnt these in tkd they were taught as 2 different kick. A back kick and a back-side kick. Both great for different situations. Great video

[@dylanvu_actual5050]

I got to say, thank you so much for this tutorial. I am a WTF Taekwondo fighter, and I love sparring. The back-kick(Dwi Chagi in Korean) is one of my favourites, but I found it difficult, so I didn’t just look at Taekwondo fighters, but every style. My Back-kick went through stages, I first thought to spin and swing it like a spin hook kick(Dwi Huryeo Chagi in Korean) but ended up doing in inaccurate spin-side kick. Then later guys like Kwonkicker and my Master told me that it was a linear kick, and to stomp it rather than swing it. Then you told me to flick my feet to turn back for the kick. Now even I think it looks a looks and feels a lot more powerful and explosive, so thank you so much!

[@rsmith2072]

Awesome video Sensei Jesse! Would also love to see a video of you doing a heavy bag workout with punches and kicks. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

[@TenThousandMethod]

i just made the same request! we were thinking the same thing :)

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Cool! I'd prefer to film myself kicking and punching a real human being instead. Working with a heavy bag is great for a lot of reasons, but personally it limits my natural fighting capacity too much. I prefer the freedom of pressuring and manipulating a moving person rather than adapting to a static bag. I only use bag for isolated technical practice.Thanks :-)

[@rsmith2072]

Jesse Enkamp Yes I agree. But for power purposes hitting a bag you can demonstrate. Unless you can talk Oliver into letting you kick him as hard as you can a bag. Lol. Either way any video you put up I enjoy. Thanks for all you do.

[@dbsWorldheadqtrs]

Love your stuff Jesse

[@TenThousandMethod]

i've seen a lot of your videos Jesse, and i think... i think this is the first time i've seen you kick something! very cool

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Hah! That's funny, because I love kicking stuff (hard)! Let me know if there's any specific kick you'd like me to do a video about! :-) Thanks for supporting my work!

[@TenThousandMethod]

man if you're taking requests, it would be so cool to see a video that highlights your striking work, like on a bag or a sparring partner. do you think you could make that happen? that would be awesome

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Yeah I could sparr someone!

[@TenThousandMethod]

Jesse Enkamp maybe your brother if you both have the time? I spar with my brothers, but yeah we don't have a lot of free time that coincides simultaneously

[@akinthompson5133]

Great teaching of the Ushiro Geri

[@_oriTech_]

omfg... i think most of my training as a instructor has now excercises from you... easy 75% its so much, that i cant remember what i have done in the pre-jesse era. the last exercise is just awesome! and whenever i see something like this, i hate myself a little bit. i mean... its soooo obviously to doing this... maaaan. i know i repeat myself... but you are just daaammmnn awesome! soooo i will give em a try tomorrow. thx for this and best regards from germany.

[@CB-uc2zm]

Very awesome advice my Back kick has not been the same i took a 14 year shotokan karate brake and i have been back training for around 5 weeks now my biggest challenge has been conditioning my body to become flexible again its been a lot of hard work and training but its all paying off. Tips like this help greatly Thanks

[@KenpoKid77]

Cory Bekkers I feel your pain, I took a 12-year hiatus from karate. I was good as a green belt back in the day, but was so out of shape and technique was so poor, and I had to start over as a white belt. But it was good for me, forced to rebuild myself and appreciate the journey more. Train hard and hang in there, OSU!

[@rahulgill936]

please make a video on hook kick

[@thusharirosa742]

This is really helpful. Thanks Jesse.

[@Yuppie.Mike.]

thank you sensei Jesse another great video

[@RavenburnX]

Really appreciate this tutorial, it’s helped me loads

[@alexsoris8386]

Bravo Jesse, no onwards I will keep watching your technics always!

[@user-ww8tk8wp9d]

You make things so easy, thank you so much Jesse

[@dallywonka]

Awesome video! Great way to break the kick down into practical components, like that. All the best.

[@hemakanthrayala7303]

I like all videos you have mind bogling techniques

[@Tirza_]

Nice to see an actual ushiro geri for once, instead of a backwards sokuto. I've been struggling with this kick (read mobility) for years, I'm excited to try out your exercises Jesse-sensei!

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Tirza Norrman Thanks and best of luck with training! 💪

[@senkotsumcgi1531]

Turning back kick. Great explanation and emphasis on tech.

[@serafijnhetspijn9179]

Very detailed explanation. Thank you, Jesse!

[@freelancerblitz2579]

My wife approves of that warm up 😂, It’s amazing I’ve had a few instructors back in the day say I should look under my leg when doing this kick, it was always awkward and threw me off balance, I got quite good at it but definitely lacked power and accuracy, I wonder how many others have been taught that way, thanks 🙏 Jesse Sensei

[@antonioamabile9675]

Ushiro Geri improved. Obrigado Jesse!

[@rickymercado9983]

A beautiful explanation on d technic.

[@CloakandDaggersPapa]

thanks for all your advices .

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Thank you!

[@th3drizzl378]

He is simply practicing Master Ken's thrust of freedom 😁

[@DankoJaraJara]

HY FROM MEXICO.Thank you .VERY INTERESTING YOUR EXERCISES.

[@KARATEbyJesse]

You are welcome!

[@balamurugan-ds8cg]

Great coaching sir i salute you.

[@fernandososa6507]

Really good video. I really never thought about using the back kick on kumite, thanks to this video I will start to apply it. Would be cool if you did videos like this but with the mawashi geri or ura mawashi geri.

[@woffordswaymartialartschar5541]

A great example of the back kick Jesse I will try that

[@st421]

I think this kick is the most powerful in martial arts with the roundhouse being 2nd but thats just my opinion. My old sensei started to develop this kick as soon as he began training in the early 70's. He said his sensei saw that he had a knack for it and my gosh! He could throw this kick from a very close range with tremendous speed and accuracy. Remember what Bruce Lee said...."I don't fear the man who practices 10,000 different kicks.......I fear the man who practices one kick 10,000 times".......Thanks Jesse....you are a credit to the martial arts

[@someone-ie7ez]

THANKS! this video helped me a lot;)

[@TheLastDayOfDecember]

awesome video, Jesse! Very helpful. Thank you :)

[@jithin72]

Ur entry was awesome dude

[@Breaker197]

This is one damned effective technique. It's fast, efficient, and deceptively powerful. Years ago, in my lack of experience, I had a lapse of control, and put someone in the hospital with this technique. Learn it well, and it will serve you well.

[@luthercharles3025]

Very helpful video Sensei Jesse

[@karateklubselters]

Jesse, big thumb up for the video, and it's pretty old school techniques for improvement Ushiro geri, and full impact of kick to the target, but we think that before turning, we doesn't have to move our front leg first to do a turning or whole kick, just because of the engaging the whole body and strenght to the target that we got from that turning, because of that we must keep our front leg to the ground, also if we move first our front leg we will "say" to the opponent what we are doing, also because the balance if we are in step etc. We don't saying that this moving of the front leg is wrong, we just thinking on practical way.

[@armandocardoso6301]

Excellent video.

[@natanjafet8034]

Thanks bro ...great vídeos

[@bennyrosado5402]

great details!!! thanks for the class...

[@jaysonscaccia3188]

Dang I love you man...i always saving your videos for training. I'm testing black belt in June Shorin Ryu. Then I wanna go on a road trip. I would love to do a couple of sessions at your dojo, then go see Tom hill in the uk, then to Mecca, Okanawa 😁 but your will be first for sure. Then maybe one of your seminars I want me a pink belt lol

[@leodaido]

Great tips! Thank you Sensei!

[@vidgamek1]

When I did goju ryu/goju kai we did the back kick as you described. When I did world oyama karate (kyokushin offshoot) we did ushiro Geri in a way that I would describe as a spinning side kick.

[@jithin72]

Great video, great explanation, thanx dude..

[@yudaekoprasetyo5112]

Thanks so much, i really quick understand with see your videos 😊

[@finhyland4270]

My favourite kick, easy to pull off, hard to defend against and generates good power..

[@elgladiador2750]

thank you very much, great video

[@Yamabushi37]

Excelent ushiro geri tutorial

[@teikarate]

Cool video. Im thinking you could add holding a heavy Olympic barbell weight to your chest when pushing up off the floor too.

[@SolomonMcNeil2]

Ushirogeri is such a cool move!

[@AsuraKish8n665]

Best kick ever!!!!! 🔥💪👊

[@thiagoluizsilva2933]

Excelente aula Sensei obrigado

[@amroeladwee3035]

We need to make tutorial videos in which you learn us Katas and the right techniques along with the perfect stances... thank you indeed in advance

[@susantompkins4254]

Thank you that has really helped me

[@HanniSeidenba0525]

Jesse, makes a small cross step then turn and kick me, YES!!! Oh my god, how many time do I have to tell my guys to step to make a better pivot. That's the key and the only reason why they always miss their Ushio Geri. Osu to Jesse.

[@chromerhodium]

One of the best kicks against approaching enemies! Osu!

[@KARATEbyJesse]

For sure!

[@riraro5978]

I really really love your content

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Rio Rivaldo Great! Thank you 😃

You're welcome

[@ericdietz2605]

Thank you Sensei!

[@maryamchannel2743]

Thanks for your useful video's ❤️, i play karate for 8-year-old and i still play now i have got black belt . I am from Egypt.

[@mike393000]

Where were you when I was trying to figure these things out when I was 20???? yeah... not born yet!.. ha... Thanks!! You're explanations are always awesome!! I want to go out to the shed and throw back kicks at the bag now.. It was always a good powerful kick for me that wasn't too flashy and still practical without risking too much in kumite. I grew up as a Shotokan guy in a world of Jean claude van Damme and bloodsport movies.. We would laugh at how people wanted to always turn their backs to opponents doing some crazy spin kick that lacked power when mixing with other styles at the time. Traditional karate was a tough sell to people but this kick was always impressive at demos.. ...

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Blast from the past! Love it :-) Thanks for supporting my work!

[@samward9294]

my favourite kick

[@notpoliticallycorrect]

[@felipenocedal3948]

Excellent. Greetings from México.

[@NoBody-xx6ii]

Great tips

[@geraldaitken478]

As an older karateka I am happy that a back kick involves a vertical thrust, because my horizontal flexibility is not what it used to be.

[@PelegoRecords]

Great Advice!!! Thanks, Bro!!! 😇

[@christopherblade5984]

Awesome Jesse Sensei. Great mobility exercises. I love how it all coincides with what I teach in mobility and strength exercises and how you make the connection to Karate. Super cool. Keep these up. More, More, mooooorrrre. ;-)

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Blade Martial Arts Academy Awesome! What would you like to see next?

[@christopherblade5984]

Jesse Enkamp Wow, well myself I love all about kinetic movement. Which is why I love this video. Perhaps, how about the dynamics of a front ball kick. As many people do get this one incorrectly. :-D

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Cool! Snappy front kicks are painful!

[@revanwirasah8222]

Thank you sensei

[@paradiseofgames1671]

Thank you so much ! I really needed that 😁

[@MyThecount]

Awsome video

[@alilachgar290]

U re the best one I like u from morocco

[@sandrissandris7174]

Dear, Jesse! Could You give some tips on punching in Kumite?! Just basic level punching work un Kumite, please!

[@VictorDubiniuk]

Awesome! Gone for training

[@shinaikouka]

Jesse, I've been seeing a lot of different back kick videos lately, and I think yours might be the first (so far) that kept the foot vertical during the strike. Other folks seem to hit maybe a 45-degree angle or something to that effect. Is that just an artifact of a different karate style or an influence of a different martial art (e.g., Taekwondo)?
