ONE DAY IN THE LIFE OF A KARATE NERD - Jesse Enkamp

[@AndoMierzwa]

Beautiful work, sir!

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Thank you my friend! Greetings from Madrid 😄

[@AndoMierzwa]

@@KARATEbyJesse Happy, healthy training to you! Good luck from the USA! :D

[@AndoMierzwa]

@Pavel Cabak Pie is my best friend. 😁

[@fernandososa6507]

You're a damn genius dammit! The shoshin belt idea is that, genius, I love it! This channel should really have more subscribers. 100K is a lot but it deserves more. Your ideas, philosophy and way of karate really is inspiring many people.

[@weixism]

The belt idea is awesome! It's the opposite of people wearing black belts and then slowly wear off into white, how about concealing the embroidery too, and then when the name appears, it's like you have found yourself again...

[@mohamedrabieallaoua6309]

love the idea of the shoshin belt, esoteric

[@luisagarcia3558]

The idea you bring with this belt, shows the humble and deep meaning you give to Karate, I dropped a little tear, just beautiful. That is what real Karate is about. Cool video!!!

[@Jayys_Karat3]

It's great to see that you're always so happy well Jesse, Odaiji ni nasatte kudasai.

[@farrahlipsham5533]

This shows the heart of any martial arts to me. A way of life - improving yourself mentally and physically, overcoming obstacles and finding new challenges and trying to better yourself continually. Love this

[@09deekshith]

The belt idea is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Thank you!

[@mrfreddorenton]

As someone literally about to earn back their black belt (For the 2nd time) the Shoshin belt truly does encompass what I've found about getting back to basics to rebuild.

[@jonathanbouffard2864]

The beginner's mind... "The only thing I really know, is that I know nothing." Socrates would be proud of you Jesse ;)

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Love it! Thanks so much :-)

[@skolatrenkovo8385]

You are so right

[@tasmanaddo2336]

Very zen

[@elmalifico3708]

13:45 This part has got to be the best unintentional comedy I've seen in a while. You're walking up to your business partner with unzipped and undone pants while saying "So what do you think Marcus? Satisfied?" All kidding aside this was a great video. I really learned so much from this on a conceptual level. These lessons can be applied to more than just karate.

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Haha! Oops 😜😜😜

[@DocSchaeffer]

I love watching your training drills for students. Thank you for sharing. I share them with my students frequently in New Hampshire, USA.

[@123moushumi]

Loved the idea of the Obi.You are such an inspiration for students like us who constantly fight against their weakness.Thanks a lot.

[@KristopherLinville]

I absolutely love the concept of the Shoshin Belt! That has always been one of the most Central focuses for me in my martial arts career and having a belt option that will reflect that is pretty great.

[@Shannon23455]

Awesome!! Thanks for sharing. Really love what you do in your fight class. A lot of dojo’s spend too much time on points sparring. That’s not everyone’s cup of tea.

[@raeban_1]

I have to say, I watched your videos now for a period of time and I have to say you got me excited about karate. I guess I will start karate next year in January or Febuary 2022.

[@shadowcous]

As an isshinryu style karate guy myself, this video really made me wish to dust off my gi and get back into practice. With COVID as well as everyday life, things tend to get in the way, but this channel has really helped me reignite the martial arts spark in my life. Thanks so much for the motivation. Subscribed and looking forward to more in the future. 🙂

[@KusanagiUrie]

The shoshin belt is so beautiful! It must be so satisfying to watch your belt eventually becoming black again. That is a wonderful idea! I am definitely getting one! Thank you very much for the video!

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Awesome to hear! 🌟 Thanks a lot 😄👍

[@kgmaainternational]

I truely enjoy watching your videos Sir. I learned soooo much about karate from just watching your videos. I am a taekwondo instructor and practioner, i did Shotokan went i was young. Keep safe sir from everyone from KG Martial Arts Academy Australia

[@alexanderb6504]

17:41 I thought you were going to scare us again with the black screen and the a face pops up like you did for the Halloween video😂😅

[@ezgiurkmez485]

You never fail to amaze me, sensei. You are amazing. You work very hard and you are so strong. Even if you never considered yourself athletic, you are the most athletic person in my eye because you have the power to grow more and more stronger. You are so different from others you are so determined and your ability to spot and solve your weaknesses makes you my hero. Thank you very much for being that much inspiring

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Thanks for your kind words 🙏

[@Fidgottio]

Your videos always get me motivated to go back to training, Jesse-san. I moved away from my dojo last year and have struggled to find the courage to go to a new one, but seeing your passion for karate makes me determined to make that step. Thank you, sensei

[@thewannabemartialartist4613]

I gotta say man, I have been really trying to get back into shape and fix my life. You have been a huge inspiration to me and just going back through your channel is really getting me excited and helping me figure things out. Thank you!

[@LukeD91]

Hey Jesse, great video! I have recently discovered both Karate, and your videos and I am hooked! As a recovering alcoholic and drug addict I have something positive to focus on now! I have only been training since November, but I have been working on my Kihon Kata and attend my first grading in March. When you talk about karate being a way to better yourself, I totally agree. Huge fan, Luke

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Keep it up!! 🙏

[@MendozaTJ]

Thank you so very much for sharing. In my personal opinion, and I actually took notes, was when you talked about Shu Ha Ri and Shoshin concepts.

[@souhardyahalder3903]

The training tactics and strategies you talk about it's not just applicable for martial arts it also helps me in studies.... always love your videos...

[@NR-vw2rd]

I’ve been a part of the martial arts for many years and I enjoy watching your videos. I can see the passion and respect you have for all martial arts, people, and countries. I truly enjoyed your videos in China and Japan, I’m a Martial Arts history buff and learned a great deal from the your visit to China. You should consider the martial arts in Africa and India for more history (quite interesting and you will find some similarities). Not many look to those countries for martial arts (typically Japan, China, and Korea).You are a true inspiration and role model for all of us Karatekas. May you and your family be blessed forever. My comments from a humble student for life.

[@brettv2113]

If could choose to learn Karate from anyone, Jesse , you are my top choice. With Sensei Seth and Wonderboy and Icy Mike as my other top choices, although Icy Mike isn't focused on Karate like the rest of the guys. All such amazing personalities that make for amazing teachers/Sensei's. Seriously impressed with the kindness, intelligence and quality you bring to your video's Jesse . Much respect and love to you Sir😎❤

[@iramiyahira8301]

Jesse.s. a fine. Cook sensei. And. Student In. Karate...his mind is Open. Humble and very Detailed in his life and Karate. Operations in his dojo...he enjoys his karate lifestyle.. He and his brother. Are. Grr8 competitors with each other.. Grr8... Honest Video. Jesse!!!

[@stefanolombardi9907]

The music is fantastic.... The video is fantastic! Great Jesse!

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Thank you! I spent ages looking for the right soundtrack. Glad you liked it! 🙏

[@ottobindelssaco9625]

The concept of the expert attitude is really great ! Everyone should keep the mind open for improvement. Thank you Jesse ! Great day and good luck in your karate competition.

[@carloscamacho6137]

Jesse-san, it's a pleasure to be "talking" to you. Congratulations on your videos! I've been practically Taekwondo for 50 years and a researcher on the history of this art that goes back to Karate and I was very happy to see that you approach this historical context in your videos in such a natural and special way. I would like to buy Seishin products and especially the Shoshin belt, a brilliant idea, for which I congratulate you, but I think that this brand is not yet in Brazil. A big hug with the wishes of success always! Master Carlos Camacho President of Jidokwan Brasil President of the Brazilian Confederation of Traditional Muaythai.

[@alexjara305]

Great vid Jess! Good Luck at the World Championships Brotha!

[@maxdraper6462]

love it when i get the notification telling me Jesse Enkamp has uploaded!

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Awesome! 🌟🌟🌟

[@superbean8110]

Good luck at your competition! I really love the belt idea its like they say 'The difference between a master and a novice is a master has failed more times than the novice has tried." I really like how the belt embodies this and I bet it looks pretty cool too.

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Great quote! Exactly. Thanks! 😄

[@superbean8110]

@@KARATEbyJesse Your welcome its something I picked up from my Instructor.

[@cybermek]

Jesse-San! Another great video! I especially like you filming your students training and you teaching. I always get more ideas on how to make karate training more interesting from your videos! Thank you for this video!

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Thanks Carlos-san, hope to train together soon again! 😄

[@martinpetrich2454]

Love the idea of the belt. Once was in a Shoshin Dojo in Germany. I trink i need that belt 😊. 25 years of Karate training and now just broke my right arm with multiple fractures 😮. So I need to change my state of mind and train with a new open mindset 👍

[@varunshah7205]

that belt idea is awesome! and, all the best for the championship!

[@williameubanks8078]

This is probably one of my favorite of your videos.

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Thanks! May I ask why? I’d love to make even better content 😄👍

[@corysims7521]

Jesse, Sensei Seth ,and Steven Thomson all got me interested interested in karate again, I dabbled in many different martial arts but karate has become more interesting again.

[@vedantpatel7312]

Jesse-san I wish you all the very best with your training! And as always, amazing video!!

[@alexandrebraga2947]

i think competition in karate is very importante, it makes you train to reach the 'perfection' with a specific goal(its like the bruce lee tennis ball) furthermore it can expand this beatiful martial art all over the world

[@n.a.t.e_the_great1775]

I love the idea of the shoshin belt in my training I feel what you have just described..stuck been practicing for 22 years and feel like I need to evolve... when this comes out I just might purches that belt to earn my black belt back.

[@josebarahona8033]

That shoshin belt is what I need, I been upsend from my learning c trying to empty my cup is great the way u see it, thanks for that lesson oss

[@DefiantlyOz]

Hi Sensai Jesse. I have already mentioned to you that for the last 6 months I have been training with your original Seishin Gi and it is by far the most comfortable Gi I have ever used. And now you have added to the product line?! Fantastic. Looking forward to other product releases in the future. Your Karate Fan from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺🙌🏻

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Great to hear! Thank you very much 🌟👍💪

[@mholman888]

Your videos teach me a lot, but I really love your day in the life videos because they show us also what a great human being you are. Very inspiring! By the way you should consider a cooking show as well 😜

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Haha! Maybe one day :-) Thanks for your kind words! 🙏

[@christopherblade5984]

Right on my kinda life. Keep up the great work dude.

[@veganwolf3268]

NICE! Can't wait to see the sequel: "One More Day in the Life of a Karate Nerd."

[@0smuzz0]

I absolutely love the idea of the new belt. I must admit, one of the most liberating parts of my training after 14 odd years was when I stepped into a new dojo as a white belt - even though I am a first Dan - and earning my first couple of belts within that dojo (before the Sensei allowed my to wear my first Dan there). It made me appreciate my training so much more and helped me learn the value that the colour of your belt shouldn’t define you or your training. Martial arts should come from the inside, so it doesn’t matter what grade you are or even if you’re wearing a gi! Are those belts available now, Jesse?

[@kyletanga]

the belt is awesome, i wanna see even more amazing products like this, well done jesse

[@jamesdevine6452]

Brillant thank you for sharing. I love that belt Idea I stopped were one along time ago and have recently introduced a belt progression to my program and have been wearing my old Brown belt instead as I and my student develop and progress through it your belt Idea makes perfect sense and matches my idea of not wearing it until one of my students reaches that level themselves. The core of the program is JKD & Kali but the belt system helps everyone including myself set goals and monitor progress. Your Belt would do the same for me as the instructor and developer of the curriculum.

[@kastelicluka302]

Interesting tehniques for teaching. I like them

[@jaishawnb.5817]

Your my favorite you tuber and I always watch your videos for advice and just for fun and with that being said keep up the great videos

[@jasonwebber1591]

Jesse san, great video as always. You explaining the beginners mind really amazed me. I could relate to it in so many ways not just karate but in life also. Keep up the good work! 👍

[@janciic]

Jesse... You now you're the best... Did i mention that you're the BEST!😄

[@Alexandurs]

Great video Jesse, you have inspired me to start learning Karate, thank you!

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Great to hear!

[@rakabir1]

You are a good soul, Sensei Jesse. My regards.

[@benlees7252]

As always a great video I tesently had my first kumite fight and got a bronze 🥉 oss

[@KARATEbyJesse]

BOOM! Big congrats my friend. Keep it up!

[@Anton_the_Vampire]

I will definitely need to get one of the Shoshin belts, when they're available (and I can afford it). That mindset is particularly important to me, as someone returning to training after a very long gap.

[@mikeaddison-saipe5820]

Shoshin belt !! Fantastic. I love it. Got to figure out how to incorporate it into our structure.

[@jemimahsunshine5640]

I like the idea of all the new products! Maybe you could do a video just how to train for sport karate??

[@timsnyder5152]

I enjoy u sharing parts of ur life with us.Very entertaining and karate educational at same time.bravo

[@HugoBranco-hb]

Your concepts are really extraordinary. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. 👌🥋 OSS!

[@jamesnewman6032]

Always love these "Day in the life" videos. You talk a lot about periodization and this is something I'd really like to incorporate into my training. Have you thought about putting together a program or series on this using strength, mobility and karate all together? Good luck at the world championships! 🥋

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Yes, I have separate programs for Strength and Mobility, because different parameters need to be incorporated differently for different people at different periods. :-) Everything it individual. Thank you!

[@AntoniTkacz2]

You're incredible Jesse!

[@teresadrag3213]

Fascinating idea for the new belt!

[@rsmith2072]

Awesome Video Sensei Jesse! Love seeing these videos. Thank you for all the inspiration.

[@jessicabrandt1478]

I love the concept of the Shoshin belt.

[@senlin1]

A fabulous review ! Like everytime, new ideas. Karaté and cooking 😉. And best materials for karaté and the magic belt

[@kieranmakenji8922]

Loved the video sensei 👍

[@greenhoundgaming]

The belt is interesting, I love the story of the black belt that I was told, that all students started with a white belt, students would wash the gi but never the belt, as time passes and the students train, the belt would get darker from the sweat, dirt, and blood of the workouts until it turned black. I also like the idea that when you become a black belt, you are ready to learn.

[@redprediction6288]

amazing video and the new product is amazing

[@smaulpaul]

Love the belt! Many times we see a black belt fade away, but to see it the other way is ingenius. Hope that they sell well because I love the concept.

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Glad to hear you like it! 🌟

[@TheRat1]

I’ve said this in a previous comment section thank you for helping me with some though times you’re the best Jesse-San

[@3004krzychu]

The idea of Okinawa edition Seishin gi is awesome. I'm from Poland and sometimes is really hot in the summer. Probably I will buy this gi, because it will be more comfortable to train in one being in the hot dojo!

[@CaptainKeelhaul]

When will it become available, and for how much?

[@matheuspereiraarruda5710]

Very intelligent idea..the sochin belt! Congratulations

nice groundbreaking idea for the white black belt, I hope you can convince more people to use it, it is actually very very nice!

[@nrdaswani1]

Love, love, love it. Very inspiring!

[@HirohitoEvi]

Shoshin belt! Excellent idea, it could also teach humility or reinvention of oneself, right? Best of luck for the World Karate Championship!
