Super happy y'all love the video!

The Art of Hojo Undo: Power Training for Traditional Karate by Michael Clarke is one of my favorite books. I train in Hung Gar Kuen and Xingyiquan. Your knowledge is a great help to me. Michael Clarke also wrote a book called Shin Gi Tai: Karate Training for Body, Mind, and Spirit. I need to get that book 📖.

[@SIMONSK9CLUB]

I have seen so many martial artist but never saw someone as good as Jessie Sensei. To all of you who are his student; you guys are sooo lucky to have a sensei like him. In India we train under the street light but still we always try to show up for classes. So guys who are fortunate to train with him, never skip classes. He is the best karate teacher I have seen yet❤ Lots of respect for you sensei. Oss

[@KARATEbyJesse]

You are too kind 🌟 Keep training and never stop learning 🔥

@@KARATEbyJesse yes sensei. Learned a lot today from this video again 😀

[@inannamystyrica3762]

Coming back to karate after several years away (injury and life losses), i can feel Tai is definitely my weakest point... whereas i continued to study and imagine even when i wasn't training so i feel my Shin is strong - and my Gi, also needs work, relating to being gone so long. Trying to figure out how to improve Tai and Gi without injury when i'm in my 50s and have past injuries ... This video really has me thinking about how to balance my training in and out of the dojo. Thank you so much.

He always gives a good quote

[@AlexGSalvador-cv9ln]

There he goes again with the northeast corner of the quadrant! 😂 Very good breakdown of breakdowns Mr. Enkamp. With The Karate Nerd around, there are no more "secrets" of karate! What you've shared is very useful for both teacher and student. The "shin" (heart, mind, core, spirit) component is probably the hardest to achieve, grow, and maintain. Ego and pride try to sneak in in various situations. But, with people like yourself sharing wisdom and reminding us, it gets easier. Thank you.

[@marco.budoka]

Great job, Jesse san. Also, Mabuni soke said that this three aspects has their own diseases that all karateka must avoid: for Shin, soberbia (pride/ego); for Gi, doubt (insecurities); and for Tai, sloth (laziness).

[@firama101]

Great video Jesse. In our club, we have a patch with three horizontal stripes that has a close meaning to that. We say that the three stripes represent Shin (mind), Ki (spirit), Waza (technique).

[@mastersolid2000]

I think this is one of your best videos. Make more like this one, it is VERY helpful! I will show this video to my sensei, he loves that kind of things :D I realized I was using Shin Gi Tai subconciously in my every day life for several years now . Well, one never stops learning!

I'm sure you must know this kotowaza, it is often used in Kendo and Iaido, but very similar. 気剣体一 気 き Ki energy/spirit 剣 けん Ken sword 体 たい Tai body/physical 一 いち Ichi one "Mind, body, and sword as one" Might not be the best translation, but I always think of this kotowaza Everytime I think about 心·技·体

[@timmychonga4901]

Well done! I like how you went deeper into the fact that even if you do something well that you still have room for improvement. One of the biggest lessons in marshal art's is I think to be more critical of yourself and also be able to take criticism from others you trust. It helps you grow to be a more dynamic person. so not to look at criticism as something negative but to be aware of opportunity's to be more effective in everything you do.

[@KARATEbyJesse]

That’s why it’s useful to reframe criticism as feedback 👍

[@rafaelcuevas3209]

And the same applies for daily life. It is amazing the amount of things that you can use from your training to solve everyday problems or merely to have a better life. Even in your work.

[@robsobi]

It starts in the mind. Mindset and comprehension inform techniques. Then training the technical transforms you physically.

[@boyluizeduardo]

Perfect explanation!

[@BBP081]

I find this interesting, because I am accustomed to thinking of the mind as being what determines the other two. For example, if you have 10 people that are grossly out of shape most will have depression. If you could press a button to cure their depression they could get themselves in shape relatively easily. With technique I find as well that if they have a disciplined mind or are engrossed in a topic learning technique comes naturally as repetition and attention to detail follow.

[@X_SKD]

I have my *SHIN* and my *GI* down Need to work on my *TAI* My *SHIN* is the strongest

[@methandtopology]

Interesting. I actually have my self-proclaimed four pillars of self training that I tend to every day: Chi Gong, Zen Buddhism, Karate, Yoga. If you look at it in terms of shin gi tai, my Chi Gong and Zen Buddhism training includes strong shin, Karate includes strong gi, Karate and Yoga include strong tai (as flexibility is important for training the body, and in my Karate training I include pushups, sit-ups, squats, mabu etc). The fact is that regardless whether someone calls it shin gi tai or as I call my own four pillars or whatever else, we all arrive at an "ideal" form of training. This reminds me of a quote Jesse has mentioned before, "seek not to follow in the footsteps of the wise; seek what they sought."

[@BinaryNinjasPOV]

Very useful video, You are great at explaining these topics.

[@sefrinaldo9525]

long time no watch your video. I'm kind of miss it so much..

[@YoYoKryptonite]

A perspective I would like to add, is that to me, shin isn't anything mental. It is the heart mind, aka consciousness. Most people believe they're conscious just because they're awake, but in reality they're only conscious when on drugs, on an adrenaline rush, or during sex. I'm talking about the consciousness developed through meditation or years of developing a certain skill. The consciousness that comes from the heart. If you're more centered in your heart and present in the moment during a fight, your reactions will be faster, your decisions will be better, and you'll see more of what's happening all around you. Shin, to me, is the lack of thought and strength of consciousness.

[@drieseke21]

Are you planning to go to Okinawa again Sensei?

[@voljohe]

This is my understanding, but the first character Shin is (kokoro) in Japanese and this represent not just mind but heart. Heart and mind, if there was an almost similar word I would say it would be soul, but not in a religious sense but a spirit of humanity like the heart of a person. Hence heart and mind (soul)

[@nessy3212]

Oss Sensei Jesse, and Thankyou for that awesome video. But if you ask me where are my weak spots are, i've no idea where to start with, or which level is good or bad. I've the 5. Kyu and maybe i'm already good enough for the 4. - if i would start to train for it, ;)maybe i would get the next belt or even belts easily. I allways wait for the day when my Sensei is asking me, "don't you think it is time for the next belt?" - at that point i knew that i just have to show up to get the next belt. That is because belts have no importence in my eyes. I don't want just to have the next belt to look better, i want to become better. And if you ask me what i want to learn i say: my standings are all terrible my hip rotations are weak, slow, and adding no power to my techniks. and i dont want to talk about my flexibility. high kicks and such things are not a problem, but i feel limitations here and there. So how to select what is important, if you think you are bad in everything? :/ Oss Gakusei Ines

[@yaboijoel517]

Hey sensei Jesse, I was wondering if you could possibly upload a video explaining your jr. belt system. I was wondering if you had more belt colors and a smaller amount of information per belt, or however, you organize it. I'm used to teaching at a fast pace and typically to older individuals and I'm needing some help with my kids class. Thank you for your time.
