Learn the HARDEST Kata or Jesse Enkamp Hits me with a Bo Staff

[@KARATEbyJesse]

You’re a champ Seth!! 🙌 Thank you so much for hosting me and Oliver. 😁 PS. Our sparring video is coming soon!! 👊

YESSS

[@annaleagreen9771]

Is it weird that I already learned Chatanyara Kushanku, even if I only do karate since six years?

[@camiloiribarren1450]

Oh I cannot wait to see this! Two karateka practicing their techniques with each other

[@shadowfighter6445]

1 minute left *Jesse* " OH NO QUICK FINISH THE KATA SETH!!!" *Also Jesse* "Here comes the staff staff 😈." Thank you for sharing ☺️.

[@BattleBrotherCasten]

💀💀💀

[@SenseiSeth]

Like the video or Jesse will bo staff staff you

[@maxx0978]

Putting your body on the line for our entertainment! Jackie Chan would be so proud!

[@blockmasterscott]

I don't know, getting hit by Jesse would be a mark of honor.

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Staff bo stick pole 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@blockmasterscott]

@@KARATEbyJesse Oh hi Jesse! Sir, can you please type out the kata you guys were talking about so I can look it up? I cannot for the life of me figure out how to spell it so I can type it in. Thanks!

[@KARATEbyJesse]

@@blockmasterscott Chatanyara Kusanku 👌

[@scottwyden]

I left my bo staff in my car vehicle at my house home. Then the defective Gi snap. I haven’t laughed like that in a long time. You two are so awesome together. Keep them coming!

[@katethegreat4918]

*two

[@xXCORRONXx]

Awe man, I was really hoping to see Jesse demonstrate the entire form 😭😭😭

[@alejandroenriquebarredaavi8809]

Since I saw Rika Usami perform that kata I was fascinated, and Jesse not only executes it perfectly, but he was also able to teach it in a few minutes and find a purpose for the movements behind the kata, my respects

[@vksasdgaming9472]

It was sneaky move from him. He could have taught the moves of kata in that time, but dilly-dallying with application and explanation really ate through time they had. Result: one staff-swing coming up.

[@exponentart8199]

5:51 Jesse : "I mean if I hit you in leg, youd probably break" Seth : "The the bow?" Jesse : "No, the leg"

[@irontusk5691]

I love these collabs with jesse. The guys a karate beast.

[@hawkgirl0912]

Thoroughly enjoyed this collaboration! 4:38 The urgency in Jesse's voice was killing me! 😂 You took that staff hit just as well as Houston Jones!👍

[@raywest7222]

Jesse is so good. Perfect form

[@YoukaiSlayer12]

That was fun. Especially Jesse realizing that he’s not the one getting hit.

[@bjornvonposel8246]

4:59 quickest transition from despair to joy I've ever seen

[@adampease]

great to see two such accomplished martial artists doing serious work in a very lighthearted manner. But, I was waiting for the demo of the full kata. Maybe in a future video? It looks like the roots of Shotokan's Kanku Dai and Kanku Sho. Maybe that's another possible video topic - Shotokan katas and their corresponding Okinowan kata origins?

[@KenpoKid77]

You're actually right, it's called Chatanyara Kusanku. If you look up "Rika Usami Paris 2012" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5rMq6F6pdSUprM), she performed it in her last competition. It's basically a version of Kusanku/Kanku Dai as done by Chatan Yara. He was one of the first people to start teaching martial arts in Okinawa, and is the grandmaster of Sakugawa Kanga, the father of Okinawan karate. Chatan Yara also has kobudo kata named after him (Chatanyara no Sai and Chatanyara no Sai), and his son, Yara Guwa, created a kata called Yaraguwa no Tonfa. So lots of history behind this one kata.

[@nikvrsi]

Insane respect for the way you both teach and learn from one another.

[@Kordian459]

Yeah those staff rails in the skin remind me good old times in HEMA sparring. Fun video.

[@GOBRAGH2]

I didn't expect Seth to be piñata by Jesse Enkamp so thumbs up!

[@joeltbasham]

My favorite part was Jesse freaking out at him when they had one minute left. Lol!!!!

[@yannickwalterpizarro3437]

i absolutely love these collab videos

[@edgarp2152]

You guys are so fun to watch.

[@kalibkukus8888]

Jessie was having too much fun torturing Sensei Seth

[@nightshade7240]

I was taught every defense is an offense. If someone is throwing a punch at me and I am blocking it, make the block a strike to the limb. The hammerfist that Jesse mentioned is a grab can be a hammerfist to the limb you want to grab without sacrificing any speed or ability to grab. And if the attack you are throwing the hammerfist at is fast enough that you can't grab it, you can still smash it with that hammerfist.

"maybe it's not about the uniform"

[@gavinchia5841]

Always fantastic to see my favourite Martial Artist collaborating, love it.

[@jeffrey88888]

That kata is used in several classical Japanese Jujitsu joint locks and take downs

[@jimgeorgiev8105]

take it like a champ. nice seth !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@maxx0978]

Kind of reminds me of Kankudai back when I used to do Shotokan. Could never get the hang of that one

[@Froge4291]

Because chatanyara kushanku (kushanku is the okinawan version of kanku) is one of the kushanku group which is a popular group of katas in all styles

[@kbanghart]

@@Froge4291 Amen, I'm learning Kusanku dai now, it's a lot of fun. And hard. Lol which is good

[@Froge4291]

@@kbanghart yep

[@nicolasrohr5430]

This is gold

[@ArkansasWushu]

This form reminds of me of Kunka Dai. Are these two forms related somehow?

[@adammills9715]

Yes they are! Kanku dai used to be called Kushanku and still is in styles like shitoryu, wado etc. Kushanku may have been the name of a chinese dignitary or general who came to okinawa in the 1700s. Funakoshi renamed the kata kanku dai (I think kanku means to look at the sky) along with lots of other kata to appeal to the japanese who would not have taken well to obsucre chinese names. "chatan yara kushanku" is just a version of kushanku that was practiced by a guy called chatan yara

[@ArkansasWushu]

@@adammills9715 Thank you. Kunku dai was the form for black belt rank at the original school I learned from. I was later given Kanku Sho to learn but never learned much above those forms in the Shotokan system.

[@kbanghart]

@@adammills9715 interesting about the names. I'll bet that's a good joke for them also, "look at the sky", where throws are involved 🤣

[@TITANbyArbid]

Okinawa: But you didn’t have to cut me off!

[@ekaterinab6064]

before getting onto martial arts KZbin i didnt know Okinawa was the birthplace of karate. now I don't know how i DIDN'T know that.

[@marcelbetrayed]

If I hit you in the leg it will probably break.... The bo staff.... No the leg hahahaha killed me :D

[@gonzaloayalaibarre]

0:38 Ah yes, Okinawa, the powerhouse of the cell.

[@Turbulent2000]

This episode should be called Karate Jackass 😂😀

[@boblife3647]

0:40 "... KARATE!" AAAARGH! Can't do this man!

[@jimmagwojo2718]

This was a 100% enjoyable video then Oliver caps it by coming in with the foam roller and I was like this is damn good TV :-D

[@HansaGBB]

7:06 I don't care about kata's effectiveness in a fight or using staff staff as a self defense tool, that was one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

[@barrettokarate]

For the record, that's the Japanese shito-ryu/WKF sport version of Chatan Yara Kusanku, not the more traditional Okinawan version. In the latter version it doesn't have that acrobatic jump in it 0:05.

[@lusteraliaszero]

pretty impressed by your bodily intelligence or however you say that. first trying those movements like a champ

[@nick0424]

Nice!

[@danielordonez412]

Great video

Hilarious! Kusanku kata is fun and challenging.

Jesse got you so good haha

[@themartialartsmermaid]

Ask me if I'm sitting here with a cup of coffee and a quiche trying to learn this. 😂 SEND HELP.

[@soundtreks]

I had to do Kushanku for my purple belt in Wado. It’s the longest kata I’ve ever done. You have to pace yourself with this one folks.

[@frankiesdiner]

Sensei is working hard to take Houston Jones' career.

[@SenseiSeth]

I’m no match

[@punklejunk]

Love these collaborations! (I lost it at "scientific" Lol) Maybe Seth could bring his identical (cross-disciplinary) senseis to Sweden one day, with the Enkamp brothers chiming in.

[@Squisky]

Bassai Dai would have sick to watch too. Kushanku is next level though

[@backwoodskarate9300]

Love Jessie Love seth Love Karate Love this. Jessie definitley could hurt somebody with that staff.

[@TobiasSample]

7:21 THE BIRTHPLACE OF KARATE yesssssss beat you this time!

[@SenseiSeth]

GAH how’d it miss that

[@Nomed38]

I would rather take 10 full force shots from a kendo stick that 1 from a bo staff. At least with the kendo shots it might give you a concussion and some bleeding but you are less likely to have broken ribs from 1 shot in theory at least.

[@kevionrogers2605]

Shinai is designed to be safer than bamboo. What they use to do was split bamboo then bind the end with leather for safety later they made carved slats of cured bamboo to make more pliant and durable.

[@raresmocanu1743]

Haven't done a kata in... 7 years. Last one I did was Rohai, so pretty basic. Imma now go ahead and learn Kushanku, straight up.

What about the Bo you broke in practice before competition in Okinawa? Was that not a good one? I think they can all break with time. I wish I was wrong and some of true white oak are still made and resist all impacts. Just got some Kobudo products from Shureido and sure do hope they will last me a lifetime. Any comments by anyone wh has used their products for Kobudo is welcome please.

gotta give it to Jesse, his execution of the kata is beautiful, like they do in okinawa, the birthplace of karate

[@joumasepoes88]

Except for he is doing a shito ryu version and that is a mainland style not Okinawan. I can teach you the Matsubayashi ryu version of Chatan Yara Kusanku where shito ryu got it from originally.

"A block is a lock is a blow is a throw" I'm never gonna forget these words

He's right about you being a fast learner. I definitely heard more snap in most of your movements as you both worked through the kata.

[@blockmasterscott]

I’ve held pads while getting hit full force by a staff, and feeling the power of that reverse strike is scary. And we’re talking about pads that are a few inches thick.

Good karateka will use their body as a fulcrum to really whip it around. Scary is right.
