Your a Humble Gentleman too, who wears a white belt at times...respect Sensei Encamp. Very Inspiring :)

[@hologramh]

"Because I love pink!". The best answer ever! :)

[@starrynight8903]

Way cool your Karate nerd in Okinawa serie. I love how open minded you are sensei Enkamp it is so refreshing! I'm so impressed by that woman sensei. She is a role model to all of us women who are studying karate, thanks for sharing!

[@kamalthapa6035]

Thank you Sensei for not only sharing the knowledge of Karate but also the knowledge about the people, history and many more things. Keep it up Sensei and all the best for your quest. See you in next episode.

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Thank you Kamal-san! I appreciate it. Next episode drops tomorrow :-)

[@BelloBudo007]

This must be the second or third time that I watched this video, and each time the section that appeals to me the most is the after class training and tips from Oshiro Sensei at around 10.28. She is such a warm and caring teacher and reminds me of my teacher in Japan. Personally I have always enjoyed the 'after class' stuff, if and when the Sensei is in the mood. These one on one moments in the dojo can be so productive and so helpful. For the teacher to take the time and want to help is an absolute compliment. SO thanks for taking us to Oshiro Sensei's dojo and allowing us to be part of your experience.

[@0smuzz0]

This is rapidly becoming my favourite evening watch! Thank you Jesse-San.

[@KARATEbyJesse]

tom cotterill My pleasure! Thanks for watching 😊

[@thiagoengambiental]

Hey Jesse, you should make a long and several episodes of around 40 min to 1 hour each, in depth with the techniques and turn in documentary. Your episodes are better than the National Geographic/discovery channel episodes. Your knowledge about Okinawa and karate is impressive. Best regards! Oss!

[@edsanjenis9416]

Thank you Jess for Okinawa series, you are always positive and humble, and this female sensei is always awesome. Your kata is amazing and love your snaps in your movements.

[@KARATEbyJesse]

[@bluedev4life]

Jesse Enkamp We call that Kata you did at 9:08 Pinan 4, what was it referred to in Okinawa?

[@KARATEbyJesse]

bluedev4life Pinan Yondan

[@bluedev4life]

Jesse Enkamp Awesome. Thanks!

[@MyLife-vr9js]

Jesse Enkamp hi I really like watching ur vids u r very inspirational could u say what the women's name was or can't you

[@petten33]

Jesse Enkamp Great work, young one. I enjoy your vlogs. Osu.

[@DavidMartinez-us2rk]

As a practitioner of Shorin-ryu for 20 years now this is amazing. I love seeing the seniors of my style and hearing their stories. Thank you Jesse for sharing this with us my friend.

[@shawnjesseman664]

Just got back to the dojo after 4 years and started training again. Glad I found Jesse's channel. These vids are super fun to watch.

[@georgepentecost7638]

Just found your channel I just moved to Okinawa and I want to learn much about their culture and martial art. Thanks for making these videos. Back in America I used to have social anxiety because of my stutter, but my first sensei for Japanese jujitsu/judo changed my life and helped me get over that fear, by teaching me to speak through martial arts and improve my character most importantly. Hopefully while I'm here I will be able to learn a lot!

[@teddwayne]

Hello Jesse. I was a US Navy Seabee stationed in Okinawa in 1981-82. I loved the experience. I was not taking martial arts then,but I had a interest. Years later,I studied Isshin-ryū for a couple years,in Tyler Texas. Anyhow,I am interested to know if you know of this style . I haven’t watch all your episodes yet to see. I am know 59 and living in Honolulu,and studying Kung Fu. I watched your Chinese episodes and LOVED it! So much history. I know see the connection between the Kung Fu and Okinawa.THANK YOU so much for sharing these stories!

[@johnarokium9880]

A real eye opener Jesse Sensei especially if one has not been to Okinawa. Thanks for sharing your experience with everyone. Looking forward to the next episode.

[@thiagoengambiental]

Wow! What a incredible story this lady has! She should write a book! Would be a best seller. This is very inspirational! Thank you Jesse for sharing. This week I have a goal to do extra training everyday around 6 am before start my daily activities. After hear this lady story I got more inspired to make this a reality.

[@RamblingsfromCanada]

Great episode - I'm loving this series, Jesse! And this Sensei is such an inspiration not only to women, but to everyone studying karate. Thank you!

[@DrainedOatmeal]

Im late to this series, I know.. but this deserves Netflix funding. If mind, body and kick ass moves got airtime, no reason why this couldn't.

[@LukeD91]

I love this episode! My sensei is a woman as well, so inspiring to hear her story

[@erics2091]

3:31 I had purple sweet potatoes for the first time a few years ago. They have become my favorite. Especially purple sweet potato chips/crisps.

[@mosescollierjr]

"Because I love pink!" Bwahahahahaha!

[@Blitzo2876]

I love pink too! I read somewhere that in Japan, pink is a masculine color. Is it true? :)

[@jackcommonman1381]

pink being a specifically feminine color is a modern construct..pink is just a color and has absolutely nothing to do with sexuality or gender

[@marcinmarcin5802]

More, more, MORE! We want more of this AWESOME stuff ;) !

[@NinthSettler]

Sharp performance of Heian Yondan, my next test kata. Thank you for that unexpected surprise.

[@Herowebcomics]

Going to the highest ranking female master's dojo was awesome! She is so amazing!

[@Benny10001]

Awesome look at the Japanese culture and approach to traditional karate. As a student of Katate for the past 15years, I look forward to going there myself one day. Looks like a lot of fun.

[@OK-mk8rp]

I am not sure if anyone has ever noticed, but Jesse speaks excellent English. He also presents very well.

[@geraldaitken478]

Real karate. The people. The culture. Even the food. GREAT video!

[@pietjepukpap57]

Very nice to watch Jesse all that different dojo ,s and culture , and sensai,s ,continue thanks.

[@sammyseau1612]

Enjoying the information on the culture, history, and the sights. Good stuff!!

[@Childoflight-ln7yu]

You're definitely right.

[@eliasbrito6932]

Congratulations! I am loving your webseries. Thanks for the videos.

[@pietjepukpap57]

Very nice to watch this all that diffrent styles and Dojo,s included the sensai ,s please continue its great .

[@arlenehueholt5661]

Absolutely top notch presentation, I didn’t want it to end

[@MUSOoner]

I think naihanchi shodan is one of my favorite kata's. Kyoshi Dan here in San Antonio Texas, showed many different bunkai of this kata during class for about a month and I loved every one. By the way, Love this series! Keep it up!

[@mariostekic]

Vilket avsnitt 👌 och avslutning 💪🥋

[@beepot2764]

Wow! What a woman, that is really amazing. It's easier in many cases to impress a man than earn his respect. Preforming at the level they expect of you is one thing but to crank it all the way up and succeed in the way she did, truly an inspiration.

[@Blitzo2876]

I'm Chinese and we love bitter melon (aka Fu Qua). When I first saw the pink dojo, I thought it was the real life Dan Hibiki. Great video sensei! :)

[@brunodipietro7312]

Love these vlogs , keep them coming 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@lutherunleashed]

Jesse sir, very inspiring video. I do not practice Okinawan karate, as I do primarily Korean Tang Soo Do, but I can see the original lineage here and it's breathtaking! Thank you for your passion.

[@richieclark23]

Thank you for the videos they are great and I live all the eduction and history in them! I also love that you are back in your white belt! It show your respect and humility. I appreciate you sharing that with us and love that you give the dojos and the senseis so much respect !

[@Childoflight-ln7yu]

That's really a very important aspect, that he shows respect to all the dojos and all the senseis. We can all learn from that.

[@RobwiizZHD]

Absolutely love these videos keep it up Jesse

[@НиколайБакарди]

man, every episode is just awesome! thank you!

[@Fonkemman]

Bittermelon is also popular in the Philippines. We call it Ampalaya. It is really good when sautéed with some pork, egg, onions and tomatoes. Some salt would balance the bitterness.

[@MichaelHarto]

i've taken a journey back into time jesse sensei.

[@enix0053]

in philippines we call those purple yams "ube" i remember my grandmother's story way back, when they cook dinner in wood fire ovens, they leave the yams in the embers to roast/steam itself in low heat. and after the meal, they'll dig through the ashes and pick those up. i see how those became desserts back in the day. as today, theres a lot of sweetened products that easily overpowers the natural sweetness of the roasted yams

My sensei's sensei was Aiki Jui Jitsui Richard Morris 15th Dan. Nicest person with the Biggest personality, great sense of humour. Hard as nails, with a human touch. R. I. P Richard Morris

Thank you very much! The last thing was touching me, it really bring up tears in my eyes. Life is not a muppet show, isn't so!?

Its called karala in maharashtra, India. And also the first ever martial art in the world is in India " Kalariyapattu"

Hello from Puerto Rico sensei Enkamp. Thank you so much for sharing with us your visit to Okinawa for all of us who can't go there. It an awesome and wonderful experience to train with the Highest female Karate Master in Okinawa, such an honor. Looking forward for episode 4!!

[@DeanMadonia]

Jesse, Howdy! While i have mixed feelings about some of the material you present, I find you to be mostly informative and helpful. I love your "Karate nerd in Okinawa" series - it reminds me of my trip to Okinawa (and you go to a lot of the same places in the video). I also love the "...in China," series and i hope to visit one day.

[@fox_foxtrot42]

Hi Jesse, I really enjoyed this new video. What an honor it must have been for you to practice under the gaze of Oshiro Nobuko Sensei. I see some interesting differences between the Shorinryu and the current Shotokan. Great video again! The only negative point about Okinawa....no good coffee there? Dam it!! I am a complete Coffee Nerd, lol. Waiting your next video Jesse-San! Kooun o inorimas!.

[@KRAdventures88]

Man that’s awesome ! I love the different variation of pinan yodan the one I trained had side kicks instead of inside middle block punch and front kick. Very cool either then that very similar

[@excaliburst0054]

Here in Phillipines we those sweet potatoes that we call ube and the goya we call it ampalaya, the bitter thing you showed and i hate it to but when my mother that she mixed it in scrambled egg but still its bitter, there's less bitter...

[@btebbitt3253]

That looks exactly like the pen-air covered public market in Jerusalem, Mahanei Jehudah. They had everything from fresh fruit, to fishmongers, to little bars and bakery stands. Cool stuff!

[@joetitch3830]

Been enjoying the videos from Okinawa. Love the fact you wear a white belt when at the studios. I do the same if I take part of the class, unless I was invited to do a seminar. Run into too many people even lower belts who do not want to change belts even when training in a different style.

[@KataaroCustomMartialArts]

Loved this video, Jesse! You really drew me into the cultural experience. It's the first of your videos I've watched so I'll have to go back and start from the beginning I think! -- Tom

[@NewEnglandBudo]

Thanks for profiling Oshiro Sensei of the Kyudokan. Ganbatte!!

[@richlaidlaw2567]

Nice Jesse very good you know your stuff

[@idamariaomlandgrimstad1969]

And shes almost 70 years Young 7:57

[@rogerbyrd3524]

Great video ! I also saw your Pinan Yandan. Very nice. A little different from What I learned from Nakazato who was Chibana’s student. It’s interesting to see the variations of the Shorin Ryu katas. Great work out !

[@CailinnNoT]

How long did you live in okinawa the first time? How did you learn the language?

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Studied at Okinawa University in Naha

[@mpm2727]

This episode was amazing. Do you know if one could train with Oshiro Sensei while in Okinawa? It would be such an honor.

[@JBtheJMB84]

Sensei Enkamp, I study Ryukoku Seidokan in Okinawa. Have you ever heard of this style? Awesome vids...I hope to run into you during your tour here in Oki! I wouldn't be surprised if I haven't already passed you on the streets. :) Safe training! Keep up the awesome job!

[@itz_just_me594]

That music was sweet

[@1982skategirl]

Yeah, good episode!!! Pink belts rule!!! It's a great for the modernazation of karate!!!

[@pijanapanda9667]

I noticed the kata you were doing has similiar pattern to one of katas i know but it has different moves

[@ahmedabdulrazzaq1250]

nice work keep it jesse

[@josephrossi9633]

very beautiful these videos!

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Thank you Joseph-san! :-)

[@josephrossi9633]

You're wellcome :-)

[@scottsmit1115]

Hi, Can you explain a little about why you wear a white belt in all your Okinawa training?

[@dinotronx5268]

The kata you did at around the 9min 30s mark is the kata i'm going to learn soon XD

[@NickenChugget]

yea that bitter melon we have a bunch in vietnam too we call it "muop dang" in the northern, "kho qua" in the southern and the sweet potato i think these are asian stuff generally

[@bunkaiking]

I am probably wrong but I think your original or first Karate style you learnt sensei Jesse was shotokan. Your stances are naturally wide. 🥋 Either way I love how you learn all karate styles

[@KARATEbyJesse]

It was Yuishinkai actually

[@allilem1980]

Hola, ¿no esa subtitulado en español?

[@ElsaDuartevlog]

Great thanks 😘

[@rajarshiroyece-0778]

7:26 its called karela in India...and I know the taste of it😅😅

[@agmui]

what was the form name at 10:17 it looks super similar to a form ik in taekwondo

[@t41flyer]

12:36 Was Floyd there?

[@tiger_shaheb]

Did You Showed Heian Yondan From Shotokan Karate At 9:08 😕?

[@waaagh3203]

Fun fact: the purple sweet potatoes actually are native to the Americas and were brought over to Japan in the 17th century. There they spread to the Pacific Islands

[@MrUdanafonseka]

Awesome!!!

[@kennethworsham6504]

I noticed that you do kata by yourself at each dojo.Do they ask you to do that?

[@alfredog.2889]

Oss Enkamp Sensei! Please, subtitles in spanish. 🥋Thank for your videos.

[@SomnathRoyGrimfangs]

The bitter gourd which the Okinawans use is proven to be an effective natural remedy against diabetes (no wonder since it's so bitter), cholesterol, dementia, heart disease, and many other things while being a powerful antioxidant at the same time. It is also used a beauty product in India.

[@kaz5150619]

When thriller drops and u dont bob ur head U A RE NOT A MAN Well done Jesse san

Yeeeeeees!👊🤘

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Glad you like it! Enjoy :-)

[@Bloeckchenbauer1]

Hey Jesse, what's the name of the Kata you showed starting at 9:08? It almost looks like my last Kata, the Pinan Yodan. Is it?

[@KARATEbyJesse]
