Well, we tell you what's going on at our company, we tell you about guests that are coming up on the show, we remind you about some of the episodes that we have, we throw in discounts for our products, and sometimes we put in some kind of original content, you know? Yeah, so my main website is KaratebyJesse.com, and the reason its called Karate by Jesse is because it is based on my experience and filtered through my brain, so its not thetruthaboutkarate.com or anything like that.

So, KaratebyJesse.com is where you'll find my blog, and many of my other projects and videos and stuff, and of course I'm on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter as well, and you could include those links in the show notes. But sometimes it makes me sad to see all thoses "master" having answer to everything and only thinking one way, like a block its only a block. Being a nobody white belt again was truly great. I think that probably a lot of other Karate masters at that time in Okinawa would criticize him, because as we know, the original purpose of Karate was practical self defense. Thank you, Jesse-san, it is exactly my thoughts. There's not really one book, because there are so many different versions of his notes that people have put together into books, but the publishing company is called Tuttle, and that's where I suggest you get them. We end in the same way, but its always a little bit different with each guest. I am not THE Karate Nerd, though. Jesse-san, when confronting you with my hikite-theory, or mind blowing revelation I thought, you looked at me and said: ok that's good, but I just try to keep it simple. Maybe that reinforces some of the things that you've done, but when you lose, there is a whole bunch more that you can pull out of that. Then I think another favorite is Iron Monkey, with Donnie Yen. Only in the second half of the class did it dawn on me, when my senior instructor took it upon himself to try and correct some of my many basic faults: the point of my helping the novice was as much about me having to consider whether I had learned the basic techniques I was expected to help him with as it was to 'teach' him! @SenseiSeth Learn more about Karate: http://www.karatebyjesse.com Visit Sensei Seths Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXYOXWWqgtSrk27402V_JMw BIO: Jesse Enkamp a.k.a The Karate Nerd is a #1 Amazon Best-Selling Author, National Team Athlete, Keynote Speaker, Entrepreneur, Carrot Cake Lover \u0026 Founder of Seishin International - The Worlds Leading Karate Lifestyle Brand.

I'm all about progress, so I use tradition and the wisdom of the past to propel myself forward, and to go into the future with an even better understanding of what I'm doing, why I'm doing it, and how it should be done, in order to progress to higher levels and elevate my understanding and the collective knowledge of people around me as well, because a lot of people don't have the ability to research the old ways or the traditional ways. Okinawa agreed and many masters backed up from 12 and 13th Degree to 10th Degree, although one in Hawaii refused and kept his 13th Degree til the day he died. I think martial artists have the best stories, because we get to do things and interact with our friends and our martial arts family in a way that other people don't, and that just breeds such interesting happenings. You know what? Glows with a silver hue. Before he could do anything else, I just tapped out, and I said, Dude, Im bleeding, because I didnt want to get blood on the mats, because of course, me and my parents, we own our own dojo, and I know how hard it is to get that blood out of the mats. You certainly do a lot of reading. I felt like I was right there with you. Of course, weve had Master Ken on the show, and that took a while to make happen. Id like you to think of a time in your life that made you look on your black belt test, or in some other way you used your martial arts experience to get through that tough time. Yes. My mind is clear after reading your article. All rights reserved. I started studying Japanese. A lot of people from different countries around the world decided to help me make this seminar a reality, and in return they would get videos, because I had a professional guy record this whole seminar. If you study sport karate or mma take up escrima or Silat. I think that's pretty much a classic as well. After all, there plenty of class members who out-ranked me The more you move up, the more you put everything in question. For a few weeks, so honestly, I don't really have these five-year plans that corporations have or anything like that, because the world is moving so fast. Wow. That is a very good question, because at different stages of my journey in this whole Karate world, I've had different people influencing me. Yeah, so the things that I'm doing right now, I am Like I said before, I love to do different kinds of projects around Karate, and one of the biggest ones that I've started and I'm still doing is called Seishin, which is Japanese for spirit. You've had the opportunity to train with a lot of people, and a lot of people have been fortunate enough to train with you, of course. Your black belt (brown belt, blue belt, green belt) is just as dynamic as Usain Bolt's three Olympic gold medals, which are probably stuffed away in a locker under a pair of dirty socks somewhere in Jamaica. I had to make a conscious effort to be precise, clear and slow-down in the execution of my techniques so that the novice member of the class could follow What do you think about belts and styles? That's a pretty important book. I publish educational content and teach seminars around the world, in an effort to elevate the collective consciousness of Karate - regardless of style, age or experience. In fact I think a lot of us here do. Excellente article.

He was, I guess, this typical Russian guy, just silent, and just walking around with a deadly, killer face. We want moreknowledge, improved skills and advancedtechniques. Itosu Anko, for those who don't know, was the man responsible for spearheading the campaign of introducing Karate into the school system back in Okinawa, which of course later on meant that Karate could become a national sport or martial art in mainland Japan, and later on the world as well. Sat. I am glad to have earned a Black Belt, and wouldn't have wanted to miss the experience and challenge of those years. I appreciate it. At a young age, Jesse earned a black belt in karate and he also taught karate in his parents' dojo. Best thing I ever did. It's all the same, right? Osu! I didnt know whether to laugh or cry. I needed to be reminded of this. It's a beautiful feeling and a great approach to beginners to see us all the same. That's why I call myself a karate nerd. Is there one book in particular? If you had it to do over again, how would you handle that match, that fight, with what you know now? Well, first of all, I want to say that in the Karate world, there seems to exist two camps. I do that pretty often in my Dojo, and it is so refreshing & unwinding. Well, this has been a lot of fun. You see yourself reacting to challenges. Check out this Karate black belt grading in the traditional dojo (martial arts center) of Jesse Enkamp, a.k.a. Although I am just blue belt, I can feel your pain. One side hates competition. Again, I am very happy having the courage to start with something totally new. Well, you could say it was a family thing for me, and for as long as I could remember, I've always been practicing martial arts, more specifically Karate and Kobudo, the weapons. Lets talk about competition. I know that this I know that a lot of people have difficulties with me because I don't have these plans. You see, when you teach a beginner . [2] Background [ edit] Karate [ edit] Enkamp grew up with martial arts as his family runs Combat Academy - a martial arts center in Tby - where he himself started training already at a couple of years old. It all started in the dojo. Chantal,its a bit of a case of "the grass is always greener". This is especially true if it feels like you "know it all" and aren't motivated or challenged by your regular training anymore. Are they your favorite martial arts actors, or is there somebody else that you haven't mentioned? Ossu! After talking with Sensei Enkamp, I had two, overwhelming I guess, thoughts. And even though Mr. Bolt happens to hold the 100m, 200m and 4 x 100 m world records, he lost his last race. That's why I started Karate, and I liked the whole aspect of having weapons as well, because I love fighting with weapons, too. Needed to be challenged by words like these! It made all my errors come out instantly. love it. Anyway, so I'm there. That was like stepping into a different world. I learn from every single person I teach. I don't think so, and that's why these things had to be removed. Now, anybody that's seen your online content knows that you're really passionate about the traditional aspects of Karate. If you do a little bit of research, you'll see that the number of pages he wrote in a relatively short period of time is just staggering. Thats why every black belt should teach beginners and kids. When I opened my dojo, I said that I didn't want to teach kids, but quickly changed my mind, not because someone said "the kids will pay your bills", but because as you said, you really do reach the next level. Sensei Jesse Enkamp is the host of Karate by Jesse and a self-proclaimed Karate nerd. |. I enjoyed watching that. I am a nerd about Karate, and as you know, nerds don't do anything else other than the stuff they're nerdy about, right? To pass my blue belt, I needed a tori to attack me but no blue or higher belt was available, I asked an orange belt to be my tori. I am also a beginner at Karate, I hope I stay like that my entire journey. Welcome. Its an exclusive podcast episode. His mother, Silja Enkamp is his sensei. I enjoy your writing and dedication, so just a word to the wise "keep doing what you do", Shoshin shogai, Jesse-san, shoshin shogai. Don't get me wrong, I found the people in the dojo very welcoming and helpful. Everything is difficult before it becomes easy. Movies - The Karate Kid, Drunken Master, Iron MonkeyActors - Jackie ChanBooks - Bubishi, Bruce Lee's books from TuttleYou can find Sensei Jesse Enkamp and what he does at Seishin-international.com, KaratebyJesse.com or on Instagram and Facebook.You can find the episode Sensei Enkamp did with Master Ken here, or listen to our episode with Master Ken. I enjoyed it. I've learned (re-learned) so much technical dynamics from teaching kids, especially the little ninja's (4 - 7 year olds). Awesome. Leave a comment and join the discussion! Do you hate clashing shins when you're sparring? BR, Senthil. So, I agree with you completely: teach as you taught; the circle returns and you will get to discover exactly where you are in that process. What a lovely sentiment, and I agree 100%. Well, the whole thing about being a Karate Nerd means that I don't do anything else. I like that. I'm "The Karate Nerd", #1 Amazon.com best-selling author, entrepreneur, traveler, athlete, educator, carrot cake connoisseur and founder of Seishin International. Every real black belt should try that challenge as this is the ego test,please share your experience afterwards,it would be interesting maybe as another article? It was a special thing when I visited him there last year again, but I have a lot of other mentors and people who have influenced me as well, but the first one, I guess, outside of my own dojo would be Sensei Hokama Tetsuhiro. I know this sounds crazy, but you can basically If you want to, you could bite the other guy, and do these kinds of techniques, but of course nobody does it, but theoretically you could. Good read. That was so cool to me because, as you know, it is the birthplace of Karate, and being there and seeing a live master in the flesh, right in front of you, with these huge, badass knuckles, that was like the coolest thing ever to a I was like 8 or 7 year old fat kid from Sweden. That was good stuff. I'm not going to be able to do anything. He had what I would refer to as fudoshin, which is like an immovable mind, like nothing could disturb him, until he decided to do something, and that's when he From his super deep stance, he was standing in this, like a front stance - a zenkutsu dachi in Japanese - he throws a mae geri, a front kick, straight at my solar plexus, and my air just I had nothing in my body after that kick. The idea that martial arts can continue to progress, but its still within tradition because there is so much knowledge there. A punch is just a punch. Fortunately, I've got a long way to go. For one moment, I wouldve traded my arm and leg to be in her position. He loves to teach Karate, Kobudo . You cannot know if your technique is good until you try it on someone who doesnt know it. I think that the manuscripts, the notes that he put together, and that we later on made into books, should be read by more people, because most people only know Bruce Lee from his movies, and honestly, I don't even think his movies were that good, but maybe I'm too young. I'm going to have to go with a very nerdy answer, since I am the Karate Nerd. Lets be honest. He throws me and he immediately catches me in a kesa gatame position, also from Judo. People don't know this, but if there were blogs back when Bruce Lee was alive, he would be the greatest blogger alive, because he wrote down so many things related to philosophy, history, tradition, and all of these things that were still talking about today. Nice article Jesse Sensei. Be a SMARTial artist. If you spend any time on social media looking at martial arts content, you'll know todays guest. You've impressed us all with that posting! I felt empty, like I'd won a cheap $.25 prize at a carnival. When you think you can punch, your sensei explains: ok, very good but now start learning to get this or that into your punch(hip movement, whatever). Look forward to the next one. Keep studying and practicing until a punch becomes just a punch again. You've really raised the bar with that. Amazing and beautiful article. The self-proclaimed Karate Nerd talks about his past, his goals in the martial arts, and why he cares so much about what hes doing. Its about unbecoming everything that isnt you. Teaching karate is like learning all over again. They go to the dojo, they go through their moves, they wipe the sweat off their forehead, and then they go home, and nothing happens. No style, no competition, no pressure- just the pure fun of learning a new art taught with the heart and spirit. Dont Talk-Just Do!.the number of times I have said this?!?! I think Karate should be a highly personal journey, and you should do whatever you like, or whatever you want to do, and if that involves competing, good. When you think of all of the people that you've trained with, and I want to take out whoever you consider to be your immediate instructors - I think that's your parents from the way you've talked about it - who has been the most influential person?
