@@jemorasmussen1202 well then stop saying one art versus the other and talking how certain arts are losing their effectiveness. I’ve trained both extensively and neither of these guys is adopting a `fighting’ strategy that is reflective of the core principles of their arts. If they’re going to make big claims and put themselves forward as experts then I would expect proper expert knowledge and experience, not a no stripe purple belt who is training 6 years at most and a Karateka who, although training since birth, refuses to adapt and modernise and has lost every MMA fight he has been in. And that is the essence of Bullshido and the very reason UFC 1 was so revolutionary back in the day, it weeded out this type of nonsense. But my generation know that, unfortunately younger kids are listening to these types again.

I think BJJ is a lot of fun. It's a great way to exercise and compete without getting punch in the face. That appeals to a lot of people, myself included.

[@robertmallory1877]

Of course Silat doesn't punch much to the face. They prefer body shots say a shovel hook to the lower ribs, extended knuckle strikes to the throat etc. Kill shots in other words and they work well against boxing which has devolved from it's effective bare knuckle days to todays glove in face. Man, even Tyson broke his hand hitting someone's head in a street fight. In the ring they wrap their hands before even putting on their gloves. Said gloves "enlarge" the hands so much you can block punches in a way that would be useless without gloves in the street!

[@AnonEMoose-mr8jm]

Its not that it isn't fun its that it isn't applicable to self-defense. BJJ will get you killed in the street. Sure if you want to use BJJ to lose weight and make friends, that's fine. But if you go to the ground in a street fight, you're going to have a bunch of dudes kick you in the head or worse. The philosophy that every fight goes to the ground might be true but the fights START with both combatants standing. The dojo/training gym is not the same place as the streets. The dojo has rules and is run by civilized well meaning people. The streets are full of savages that will kill you for the last $5 in your pocket. For that SIMPLE reason, I would ask anyone that trains in BJJ to take a look at boxing, karate, or traditional Ju-Jitsu. Round out your ground game and your grappling with locks, strikes, and throws like a real martial artist so you can be prepared when you step out your front door. The mindset of the martial artist is the mindset of the warrior. Always armed and prepared for combat but not seeking conflict. Remember that martial arts are first and foremost arts of war. They are there to maim and kill your opponent. Even the Marines get some training in jujitsu's powerful wrist and arm locks that can be pulled off from a standing position. Why don't the Marines learn BJJ?

[@36efitnessllc18]

Sport Jiujitsu is not built for a street fight. Rickson Gracie has been telling you this for decades. Jiujitsu is made up of striking, throws, weapons defense. and grappling but unfortunatly most schools forgot that and only practice the grappling aspects.

[@scottmarlow6018]

The bat break was pretty sick!

[@judosailor610]

A couple takeaways for me: 1. Jesse is pretty damn good! His striking is great. He's definitely not your average karate guy. 2. When are we going to admit he's also a BJJ guy? He may not quite be blue belt level, but he's definitely high white belt level. Enough to beat a trial class guy for sure. And he's officially competed and won. 3. A big reason BJJ doesn't seem as dominant today has nothing to do with its effectiveness or "it's becoming too sport focused." It's that almost everyone that trains now knows exactly what to expect and how to defend against a lot of it. 4. Also, other arts have learned another important lesson from the early days of NHB, and that is that in order to be a good fighter you have to train like a fighter (not a martial artist). What I mean is, training conditioning, "alive" drilling, lots of sparring, and at least occasional competition (even for the hobbyist). Jesse clearly does all that in addition to his more traditional training. He also crosstrains a bunch. 5. But if you don't do any of that and think you'll "just stand up" or easily knock someone out before they can clinch, 90% of the time that fight will still go exactly like one of the old Gracie challenge fights. 😏

I like the "mountain" description at the end. I like to think that mostly (if not all) martial arts are situational. In a real fight I don't think a SINGLE martial art would be the most effective. Throwing powerful kicks might be good if you manage to keep some distance but what happens if you get knocked down? Maybe a punch to the head or a kick in the leg might knock your balance off, then what do you do next? This is the part where I think BJJ would be most useful... or maybe if you're trying to avoid a direct fight you might do some acrobatics and use some capoeira moves.

but can’t take down a karateka? What does blue belt mean to you? To the old heads and some new masters blue means your BJJ vs non BJJ will win in the most safe and efficient way possible. No disrespect Josh you’d roll me like sushi but dude you got seriously handled in the first 2 rounds.

[@DesCoutinho]

​@@marco10832I guess he has the rare humility of a trained fighter. Whereas you are more like a social media (insert particular martial arts here) guy

[@Jitsover50]

Great collaboration guys. Thank you

[@hedleyparis397]

The second round, where he states: “I guess the result of this one is inconclusive”, that’s disingenuous. He’d been punched in the face many, many times at this point. In a real fight, with no gloves, and real striking intent, his face would have been turned into pulp by this point.

[@leelemoine4806]

This was a fun video to watch. Looks like you guys had fun doing it!

[@musicallmylife]

This video was amazing, I watched from start to finish!

[@ArcherSmith66]

What an interview between two well-respected masters from different martial arts! Shortcut to the interview at 13:48, but I would advise not to skip their incredible sparring sessions. The insights shared were profound, making this one of the best martial arts lessons I’ve ever experienced. The words spoken by Master Jesse Enkamp between 18:02 and 18:20 should become a quote! These words truly resonated with me and encapsulate the essence of martial arts philosophy.

Jesse is so humble yet very talented. He has a quest for knowledge and a desire to share, he epitomises the role of sensei . Oss jesse san, arigatou gozaimasu.

[@yolosubmarine]

that was sick. I've moved on from my first martial art ((after 20 years lol)) and am amazed about how diverse but similar all our martial art journeys are. new sub!

[@cobyskrilla119]

I see you're already employing your training with Jesse in your titles. xD Great vid. Jesse is such a humble Chad.

[@thrydwulf]

Great video. You and Jesse made it fun, funny, and informative.

[@adamcz3183]

I think one thing this video does prove is if you actually practice it and actually spar karate is underrated. Good video.

[@MannBazza]

Never seen anything with either of you in, but you both made a really great video and you both seem like really good guys. Enjoyed this

[@JIUJITSUMAN22]

Why you don't visit the Valente brothers or Rorion Gracie ? they get a jiu-jitsu focused in self defense.

[@OverSooll]

What a highly fun and intelligent exchange, I feel uplifted, thank you!

[@420champion4]

Oliver, get your shoes off the mat!

[@nikolas_navarro]

Man, what a GOOD video, so well made. Keep it up!

[@RafaFandos]

Really interesting to here about the Okinawan-Chinese connection towards ground fighting as nowadays most Chinese ground fighting martial arts point only to "dog style". Could be mistaken but did Jesse refer to this Chinese ground fighting style as ShíShù (or ShíJitsu) [ 实术 ]? I'd be really interested in knowing more as I'm trying to investigate on Chinese ground fighting! @KARATEbyJesse

[@misterkami2]

I think it was shown in one of his specials Karate Nerd in China, possibly under the name Fuzhou, dog boxing

[@mckendrick7672]

Pretty sure he said it in Japanese as "chijutsu" 「ちじゅつ」「地術」which would be "dìshù" in Mandarin or literally "Ground Techniques" in English.

[@sandyweatherall]

This was highly entertaining.Thanks guys! I have trained karate (primary martial art - black belt in shotokan) but I have also trained Muay Thai and BJJ and they all have a place. As a smaller woman, I look at what works, when. Pick the best for the situation. I have moved provinces and am doing some Goju Ryu as a while belt now. The learning curve is a little different and I'm being corrected on things that were "correct" in other styles. For instant, back heel is expected to be grounded yet when I trained in Thailand they kicked the bottom of my heel to get it higher! But I love it all. Your final message is spot-on!

"I am not a real fighter" - Jesse Enkamp. 8:43

[@G-Easton24]

I love how these guys are respecting each other and laughing at each others styles at the same time. This is the kind of camaraderie that all martial artists should have. This is how we all learn from each other. We all become better by showing this kind of respect for each others styles.

[@1untamedbrain]

I love the chemistry between these two. By the third sparring session they looked like they were having a blast together. Good content.

[@jacksonbauer5199]

That’s some of what makes Jesse so great. Balance is very important. Being well rounded and capable in many things is preferable to being exceptionally good at a singular task. People often forget the entire quote of “Jack of all trades, master of none, though oftentimes better than a master of one”. Seeing things from different perspectives can give you insight you’d otherwise never have access to. I’m not sure what the Okinawan equivalent of the quote is, but I’m certain there is one and Jesse knows it by heart (and likely in its native language). Even things you may have a disdain for can teach you something. Anyway, my apologies for rambling, I will end my comment with a second quote that may better illustrate my perspective. “Once in a while, you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right”.

[@ssjrose9641]

Great video! Karate and bjj, i'd say thats a good combination 😊

[@immortalwarrior2406]

It's good to see a humble bjj guy and him not being cultish🎉🎉🎉

[@tidal3153]

It’s a very wholesome and overall positive video!

[@metalngames509]

I think people take Jesse too seriously. He has respect for every martial art and likes to make jokes. But he also knows that there is no true one size fits all art. Everything has a weakness. Including Karate.
