The Kata Critic (Ep. 2) - Jesse Enkamp

[@blockmasterscott]

One thing I have to say is that those guys have some major balls to be able to put their katas on the internet so they can be criticized, knowing that the trolls might have a field day. I've been doing forms for over 30 years, and I don't want to go through that. Major respect to all of those guys. All of you have guts!

[@FedericoMalagutti]

Loved this one. I really like this series! Plus my respects to people who gets their Katas analyzed because it really shows the desire of self improvement! Cheers!

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Agree 100% it takes courage and passion to put yourself out there 💪

[@murphythedog1637]

Thanks for your critique of thee katas, also thank you to the people that submitted them.

[@perclegiovannangelo3959]

I think I might improve my kata just by wearing a SeishinGi 🤔!!

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Absolutely! 🥋💪🔥

[@ianmcleod7502]

We are not allowed to show anything we do online, totally forbidden. Not sure exactly why but we follow the rules. I think this a great concept and as others have said even if not their Kata what you are saying applies. I love the fact i can get to read other peoples comments that mirror my thinking, and sometimes it is in the subconscious part of my thinking, but it is still there, as a light is going off in my mind as I am reading. My brain injury slows my learning down a lot, ruins my flow and rhythm as I need to teach my limbs to work again, I cant think of a better way than Kata for that.

[@jamesnewman6032]

What’s really interesting is that while my kata wasn’t being evaluated, everything you said applies to my katas I.e. relaxation, pauses, making the kata look like a real fight, etc. This is a great series! Thank you for taking the time to share your wisdom, knowledge, and experience with all of us! 🙏🥋

[@KARATEbyJesse]

That’s exactly the point! Great to hear, keep training hard & smart 😄

[@scooterbois4177]

the difference between different styles is crazy. that second kata was tekki shodan in shotokan karate. my style and is very different from the one i know same with tekki nidan.

[@tkdguy5494]

I really like how so many of your videos and your advice applies to me even though I do Taekwondo. I actually consider TKD a karate style but I'm scared that if I say that too much I'll offend people.

[@mikerugoju]

Thank you for the way you explain more fully what my teacher says. I’m not exactly what or how you’re doing it differently, but both of these kata critic videos have made something click that I know has been explained in class. Thank you for starting this series.

[@onray1000]

Thank you very much for the criticism Jesse San! I do tend to rush techniques some times.

[@KARATEbyJesse]

You’re on the right path! 🔥 Thank you for submitting your kata, we all appreciate it! 🙏

[@lasse1187]

It's always important to practice your stances

[@KARATEbyJesse]

[@FirstDan2000]

I like the sepai performance. I'm quite envious of those low shiko dachi.

[@timmychonga4901]

It is hard to find the balance in technique, nor the less trying to explain it. Well done again Jesse. Doing the kata's slow and studding the intent is always helpful in improving your performance.

[@maxphysics5101]

[@razielshadow6416]

Dear sensei Jesse . Im wondering if You have though about creating your own Kata with your personal style. Or if maybe any of the karate comunity have created his own Kata. It' sure would be interting to watch

[@xurafritz4165]

Me encantaron los comentarios que realizas sobre las katas, son extrapolables a muchos estilos sino a todos ahora a seguir practicando y aplicando lo que mencionas para mejorar... Suena mas facil el decir que el hacer

[@ashwinighodke9875]

Jesse Sensei that was an awesome video! Could you please make a video regarding the eye contact during performing katas ? Coz it had been a great topic of debate in our dojo and we still don't have a clear understanding on it.

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Please be more specific. What eye contact problem do you have?

[@zanewilson2617]

Jesse Enkamp I assume he means eye contact with the judges while performing the kata

[@andyarken7906]

@@zanewilson2617 I'd consider that a mistake. Why would you look at somebody else during a fight? Our sensei tells us to look at to the opponent (who is standing where we are hitting, of course). This even includes turning a bit, looking, and then starting a technique that is aimed at an opponent that was standing behind us, because if this were a real fight, we couldn't randomly turn and hit somebody behind us. We need to look at the situation first, then turn fully to hit our opponent. Can't do any of that if we are looking at the judges.

[@christiansavior577]

sensei, that helped a lot, now I know how to improve my kata, but I still have a question. In some places they mentioned that their shoulders should be down all the time during kata, and I didn't find the explanation for that. could you tell me? and maybe talk a little more about these little details of performing a kata. thanks for the channel and attention

[@jonasvacek6826]

Hi, I am not Jesse sensei, but I've been taught that it's because of relaxation of body. You have to use too much muscles to keep shoulders up and it slows you down. Just what I've been taught.

[@ellionlarsson139]

Snälla gör fler sådana här videor!

[@mattm9204]

Ive never seen kicks in pinan san dan before that's rather interesting to see it done that way

[@judaskicks2458]

Out of topic Jesse Sensei, can you also create a video about giving tips on what to do if you have a sweaty feet and your dojo is made of some shiny, slippery, wooden panels like the one that you have? I transferred a dojo and they are using the same wooden panels that you have in your dojo. And oh boy its so slippery especially when i am sweating. I was used in using rubber mats so that’s why. Hope you can notice me here! Ossu!

[@TheOctabreaker]

I practice Tang Soo Do, and Pyung ahn sam dan is VERY similar to heian sandan! nearly identical, but we do exaggerated pauses.

[@michaelbrooks3220]

I have a question: if someone were to send you a video of their sparring match, would you be willing to do a critique for them? I'm looking to improve my footwork, and I do have senpai and sensei who I can ask for feedback, but they're not always available and plus, I live in a really small area in Southern Illinois (we are actually referred to as the armpit of the United States.) I respect and valye their input, but getting some feedback from someone who doesn't know me and has worked eith world-class practitioners would be just as valuable to me.

[@kaerudojo396]

To me a kata is (and this is my personal opinion) is a theoretical fight because with me a kata isn’t a flashy show of how good you are at karate and my students don’t really understand this (I teach a kids class 8-10yr olds) but a kata is show is to show what you can do in a fight or self defence situations you have a kind violent aspect to you’re kata but you don’t to much violence or that whould be the opposite of the purpose of karate ‘self defence’ but in a fight you kind of to improvise because a person who fighting you isn’t going let you perform long winded fancy moves you want to finish a fight as fast as you can and you want to get out of a self defence situation as fast as you can but this just my personal opinion

[@mrci9296]

Hi Jesse! Every time i watch one of your videos,i always think: you should do training series... :D I think everybody would improve therselves.. :)

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Cool! What do you mean exactly?

[@ACoustaDC]

When the gentleman was performing Seipai from Goju-ryu, Look at the judges. I don't care how you feel about what you are watching, sitting there the way the three women are is disrespectful and it looks like you are not giving it your full attentijon to the judging. When you are a judge, you should sit like you are at attention, even though you are sitting. And give everyone the respect thy deserve for performing.

[@blockmasterscott]

hi! I've done a lot of kumite, and one thing that helps enormously is just getting out there and doing it over, and over, and over, and over, and over........, and asking the guy that beat you what did he see in you that made you lose. I wish there was a better way, but that's about the only way.

I NEEEED HELP So I want to learn Karate, and on this site of a dojo that claims to have hundreds of dojos across my country, and to have taught 15 million people, teaching ages 4 and up. I was looking for the style, only to find that the style of Karate is Shaolin Kempo Karate, and that their great grandmasters art traces to the Shaolin Temples of China and India.. It goes on. Im not sure if Karate as an Okinawan/Japanese art makes much sense to be labeled Shaolin Kempo but.. If Im wrong, then maybe I'll give it a shot.
