[@geraldaitken478]

"Everything hurts. But I'm super happy." That's a real karate devotee.

[@lo-fiwalkman6953]

" dont let your style limit your karate" 6:47 wow...

[@j.a.2761]

Jesse, I'm a shotokan karate Black belt from Campina Grande, Paraíba, Brazil and I'm really enjoying your videos about the roots of Karate in Okinawa. Learning a lot! I'd been not training for 5 years... It happened because a knee serious enjure and surgery but you had motivated me some moths ago with you videos and now I'm back to karate lessons! thank you very much And sorry about my English. Oss!!!

[@kungfunigel]

Good for you Oss

[@universe0096]

Br em todo canto kkkmmm

[@dmaestro_keys]

Thanks for this series, Jesse. It motivates me even more to move further in my training in karate. I really like your perception on the different styles of karate. although they may be different, they are still under one family. Thanks for being an inspiration for us young cats. Be blessed. Osu!

[@KARATEbyJesse]

dmaestro_keys Thanks man! I'm glad I can inspire. Never let a style limit your Karate. Train hard & have fun! 💪👊😊

[@Jaytek23]

Hahahahhhahaha!! "Everything hurts....but I am super happy" I know that feeling too well, and I love it. Thanks again for sharing Jesse.

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Jaytek23 Story of my life 😜

[@SatsuRyu]

Whoa this is an eye opener. A long time ago when I was in community college, I had a teacher who also a high ranking Shorin-ryu practitioner. He introduced Shorin-ryu to some students, such as myself. Most notably, I remember learning Naihanchi Shodan, but also these animal techniques! I had no idea they came from Uechi-ryu but it goes to show that this philosophy of not limiting one's karate to style purity is known. Keep up the great karate content!

[@FedericoMalagutti]

Hi Jesse! I'm an historical fencer and Seibukan Ju Jutsu pratictioner, but i really love to see your video about Karate! They give me a lot to think about and also show good body mechanics to understand! Thanks for your good work! Keep it up!

[@davidpulanco2715]

Dang, never would have imagined I would see Federico Malagutti in a Jesse Enkamp comments section!!!

[@MajinGaijin]

Another amazing episode, Jesse. I was really glad you covered this Uechi Ryu dojo. Kiyohide Shinjo sensei is a beast. I think the fact you weren't allowed to film your training proves how legit it is! I love Uechi Ryu because it is so similar to the Chinese style of chuan fa I practice. I can't help but think they are somewhat of sister styles.

[@GoodOne4All]

William M i just started practicing uechi ryu. I love it and this sensei is such an ispriration.

[@smaulpaul]

Don't worry that you couldn't film in the dojo. I really respect the fact that the dojo was very intimate and the sensei wanted to keep things about karate and not filming. Like you said, you were there to train. Any little things that we see and hear you talk about are a massive bonus for us!

[@howardjeddore1139]

Ooooo!! Kyohide Shinjo Sensei. The Uechi-ryu Superman. The 9th time Uechi-ryu Karate champ. His father was Seiyo Shinjo a direct student of Kanbun Uechi. Seiyo Shinjo taught Karate from 6:00pm till 10:00pm everyday except sundays. He worked construction on the side but quit to focus more on karate. Thus subjugating himself to a life of poverty but he forged his Karate legacy from that sacrifice. It's a shame he died so young from diabetes. Rest in Peace Seiyo Shinjo. 🙏🙏

[@SwaySkits]

I only met Master Shinjo 1 time as a kid when he made a visit to teach at the Uechi Ryu dojo in my state here in the US. While I only met him once I have great memories of him. Kanashiwa was named after Shushiwa. Great video.

[@ruser0084]

Shushiwa was Kanbun Uechi's teacher right? I recognize most of the masters on the wall but who is the white haired person in the center and who is the person at the far right?

[@SwaySkits]

@@ruser0084 yes, at least that’s how I was taught

[@daviddelvalle7759]

I agree with you 100% with that statement. Styles don't matter. karate does.

[@vinaychandran8548]

Very nice karate ninja pakour moves at the castle haha! Loving the Karate Nerd in Okinawa videos and can't wait for the last one Jesse-san!

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Vinay Chandran Thanks! Glad you liked it 👊

[@oooo8493]

i practised many styles, few to black belt and brown belt. I was very fortunate to have grandmaster who was open-minded, he also practised many styles from serious masters. I love learning the foundation of different styles and more in-depth in others.

[@CwGuitar01]

Sensei, I know you don’t worry about style in your own training but it would be great if you could do a video summarising some of the history, influences and differences between different styles of karate. For example what separates styles such as shotokan, shito-ryu, shorin-Ryu and wado-ryu. I train shotokan and I know that there are certainly differences and some styles such as wado train katas which we generally do not in shotokan but are there fundamental differences in execution in techniques? etc. Thanks 🙏

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Most certainly! Good idea 👍

[@tadhgomahony3092]

Thank you very much for a great series. Much appreciated.

[@brianwilliams8033]

I enjoyed the Okinawan trip and all the history you provided. Hopefully you can do it again.

[@thomasjnemeth]

Jesse, you make me want to get involved in karate again so bad! I had about 2 years of formal training but right now i have too much time and money restraints, so for now I just train on my own.

[@luizmotta4698]

Thanks Jesse for the cool traditional karate videos! What you are doing inspires me to also one day be able to visit Okinawa!

[@kickhick7tree1]

Dude sweet! That is the castle where part of the karate episode of “Human Weapon” was filmed!! Dope!

[@googesowders8622]

These clips are great iv wondered all my life about the different in schools and towns

[@mindenergybooster9934]

[@slimjimguy57]

[@formerjarhead2525]

[@r0slagen]

Detta är ju riktigt bra, du är ju superkunnig!

[@kennethglover5028]

Clean honest presentation

[@wlgaming4990]

Jesse san: idc about styles Me: *practices every style*

[@wlgaming4990]

Hey Jesse I'm a blue belt can you give suggestions on how I train?

[@wlgaming4990]

Jesse san?

[@joelvis65]

Uechi Ryu!! Now you're talking!

[@Tanja-Mayer-Ki-Training]

Super Jesse! Thank you!

[@winddragonmma]

Like Japanese Kung Fu. Great Karate style! 👏🏻

[@luizmotta4698]

The best luck for you!

[@Kevin15047]

UECHI! I started learning Uechi-Ryu 11 months ago. The kicks hurt less if you lean into them. Lean away from it (natural instinct like you said) and it'll hurt like a sonofabitch. I found out the hard way. I don't mind being kicked. But I hate kicking other people because I don't trust my lower body to do anything precise (it'll come). I'm terrified I'll hit my partner in the crotch or in the knee. Two things that really can't be conditioned.

[@ruser0084]

Practicing this prepared me to practice Muay Thai. I am glad that I practiced Uechi Ryu as my first karate discipline.

[@sgoldon3886]

@@ruser0084 Exactly the same as me. Oss…

[@evsta100]

WOW, you got to train with Shinjo? Lucky guy.

[@Haru-dono]

Besides from the 5 stiles accepted by the wkf, how many stiles are there??

[@mariostekic]

Grym avsnitt 👌 Har du nån video hur man stärker underarmar? Jag har svaga underarmar och just därför gillar jag inte riktigt blockerings tekniker när vi tränar...Nu tyvärr till sista avsnitt nr8..

[@mider9996]

You’re so lucky man, he’s a beast

[@rozinta]

I know the katas in ueichi ryu the first one is Manchu the green belt kata the second kata is Seisan the brown belt kata. Just in case if any one was wondering The first kata you learn Is Sanchin then Kanshiwa Next Kanshu Also Weigh in and the others I don't know because I'm only a green belt 2 stripe and is on the brown belt kata

[@tylerdeleeuw4025]

Hey really loving the series and have question for you. I practice Uechi ryu and was wondering do other styles of Karate not train leg conditioning it was always something I considered normal for all karate styles.

[@TheBurningLion]

Den här serien är klockren, bra jobbat Jesse

[@Herowebcomics]

OMG! What was that kata? I have never seen it before! It looked amazing!

[@sgoldon3886]

Uechi Ryu Katas: Sanchin, Kanshiwa, Etc

[@loaibishara537]

hi jessie! will you make,karate nerd season in okinawa season 2?

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Snoop Dogg No plans

[@TheSmart-CasualGamer]

Hello from the future! No Plans have become Completed Plans!

[@wlgaming4990]

Jesse san can you give me suggestions on how do i train? I'm a blue belt

[@pavlos814]

why they are training at 3 in the morning? it is crazy

[@MrUdanafonseka]

Uechi-Ryu is hardcore. You look tired in the end Jesse san!

[@mcjoslurpee3560]

Jesse Sensei, can i ask something? Theres a saying "quitters never win, winners never quit", ive been thinking if its ok to quit because of issues about being bullied in our local dojo here.

[@davidmatthews2983]

If you’re dissatisfied and disappointed with the etiquette at your local, simply take your money and time to another one which align with your values.

[@varanid9]

At the beginning of the video, why are you wearing a boat motor cover on your back??

[@mikepcastro3458]

The dopest style of karate, So Kung Fu like

[@rockcare7698]

you don't know nothing about Uechi-ryu...you are just an ignorant dickhead

[@ancientgamer3645]

If you keep spouting words of great wisdom, I'm going to have to build a shrine.

[@bayardoampie6717]

will you be visiting any kyokushin dojo?

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Bayardo Ampie No, Kyokushin is not an original Okinawan form of Karate

[@bayardoampie6717]

true i forgot about that lol but it is an interesting form of karate the full contact fights are exciting to watch and it shares forms from goju-ryu and shotokan i hope to see some footage of you in action doing kumite

[@efisgpr]

Does any episode include Isshinryu? 😎

[@sukrotatesbetterthanawheel7280]

Do a video on kenshiken karate

[@lawmaralte7116]

jesse do you practise any other martial arts accept for karate or kobudo

[@waaagh3203]

The story with the samurai....the Chinese didn't have makiwara, but they had LOTS of wooden dummies, including ones that were just basic round logs sticking out of the ground they would strike. Isn't more believable that the Okinawans took the idea of the wooden dummies (especially the basic ones seen in Southern China) and evolved that into the makiwara?

[@KARATEbyJesse]

The wooden dummy isn’t traditionally used in the Southern Chinese systems that influenced Karate

[@kwokwailok8524]

三戰形,obviously related to 白鶴拳

[@craigbrothers8281]

I would give anything to train with the super man of Okinawa!

[@scenic871]

The Ranma Saotome anything goes style

[@sgoldon3886]

Brave Jesse Sensei could one day interview brave, worldwide famous Gustavo Gondra 9th Dan Uechi Ryu Sensei: He got an own official Uechi Ryu Museum, etc.

[@nadroj-88]

People who have karate lessons at 23.59 on December the 31st: 10:20 😏

[@Childoflight-ln7yu]

That's something what's always been a riddle to me since I watch these episodes: How can kids of maybe 7-8 years of age already have black belts? Do they start as soon as they go to kindergarden?

[@mxu111]

No coconuts on the trees!??!?! Why is a country so known for his deadly martial arts so intent on removing all common hazards?

[@dijon0810]

It's so the coconuts don't steal their kills

[@dhruvpatel2963]

Why don't u make a video related to bruce lee's martial arts n ur karate 😊 plzzz

[@tapasdutta2989]
