Thanks for your awesome comments! :-) So happy to hear that you like my content. Visit my website if you want to learn more about Karate! www.karatebyjesse.com

I studied Uechi-Ryu for years as a teenager in the 90s. We started every class with these drills. Also our Sensei would strike various parts of our body while performing Sanchin kata. I study Shito-Ryu with my son now and he and I are the only ones in the dojo who do these conditioning drills. I've tried to get some of the other adult students to join me in it before class starts but no luck yet.

Even after being a shotokan Karateka we practice drills similar to this as we believe styles should never stop you from growing as a martial artist... Oss Sensei.

"An ant can never defeat a lion" Strength and conditioning is just as if not more important than technique training. Most people will lose fights because they can't take a hit, sometimes a person can't even handle their own recoil, because their fists are not conditioned properly and hurt themselves when throwing a punch.

I started kyokushin im a new i train it like a 3 months or so. Bro it hurts 😅 we jus stand and punch ourselves.

This is kote kitae, we practice this in goju ryu shobukan. It really hurts, but it's a nice sensation when you know that you are going stronger.

That arm conditioning looks brutal. Takes it to another level.

Kyokushin has this style of conditioning, pretty brutal

This looks a lot like Kyokushin conditioning. I like the answer of no mind, it's very true. It never hurts less it's just your ability to not focus on it gets better.

I always admire Uechi Ryu Karate for their body conditioning.

First of all jesse sensei, thankyou very much for knx18. I will never forget the last few days. The moment you asked Uechi about a mindset, i knew mushin would come up. Mushin is personally what i believe is the key to martial arts after my own experience. For anyone reading this, i personally was at the end of uechi-senseis conditioning at this seminar - he is like a tree. My arms are still bruised and i am so excited to have discovered such a powerful martial artist. He kept things so simple and relaxed, but he is an indominatable karateka.

Karate ASMR

Kanji uechi sensei is almost immovable, like he has replaced bones with iron. True representation of an awesome style. This is Gold. Thanks Alot for sharing this with us sensei ❤❤❤🙏

Thank you Jesse. This video help to improve my body power.And to control pain..

My instructor in Memphis back in the 90s taught "iron body"...we never used pads. He taught us to stay calm when struck and be able to discern the difference between PAIN and INJURY. With pain, it's just a sinsation (mushin remains) and we push through...only with injury, or the immediate potential for it, does the "plan" need to change.

Another great video! Thank you Jesse! These conditioning techniques look like they will really help a lot.

Your efforts to make Karate is amazing. Love and respect from me Sensei hope to see you hold a seminar in India in future. Oss

It hurts just to watch! 😱👏👏👏👏

Fantastic drills, thanks for the video

Excellent job uechi ryu , thanks.

You also tense the body just before the strike contacts you, muscle tension is key along with proper breathing emphasizing exhale. Inhalations are brief and quick, exhales are stronger and more forceful. Dont take hits while inhaling. Practice Sanshin kata (Goju Kai, Goju Ryu) also which is all about the breath (emphasizing exhaling) and muscle tensing. If you combine these methods and then add in breakfalls (slapouts like in Judo) in a few weeks your body will be much stronger and able to receive strikes without much effect.

Jesse enkamp, I love your work and the topics you choose for showing us. Thank you very much. Complementas a la perfección el aprendizaje o la enseñanza del camino de la mano vacía. Please visit México.

Amazing. I used to do something like that with my karate kids but in scale of 1 to 10. Uechi sensei is 10 and me and my students are may be in 3. Thanks for sharing!!

Amazing video as always Jesse !

Gracias Sensei:Por la traducción, Muy buen video.

That looks brutal! Much respect. 🥋

Great video. It's interesting to discover that kind of exercises for truly useful purposes.

All these exercises we do in Goju-ryu karate Shodokan lineage as part of kote kitae.

As always, entertaining with a special lesson involved.

Thanks for sharing Jesse sensei. Here in America our dojo has practiced similar conditioning techniques. I haven't seen much of this practice here in the States. Again, thanks for sharing. Ossu!

Thank you for making me better fighter

HAPPY NEW YEAR MR. JESSE Osu!!!!!

This training is good for me and my students

after watching your channel for quite a long time, fascinating so have taken the plunge and will be soon starting classes

Very similar to what we call "Kote Kitae" in Shorei-Kan system, except for the part of striking abdomen. But I'm probably going to introduce it in my solo-training. Thanks Jesse ;)

Heyyyy Jessseeeee, muito legal o vídeo cara! Gosto cada vez mais do seu canal, ainda mais depois do seminário aqui no Brasil em Campinas!!! Nice Job, my favorite Karate Channel

Keep up the videos Jesse very inspiring!

Thank you sensei

Really love this part of old school Karate! I think I saw you perform this exercise once in Okinawa with a grandmaster? Thanks for sharing Jesse sensei 👊🏼

I like this a lot cause its very simple and straight forward.

Thx for the new video, have been w8ing for so long :)

Yes!! Finally a new video! 👏🏻👏🏻 And very interesting body conditioning 🤔

Impressive!!! Happy New Year!

That is a good quote "pain is just weakness leaving the body".

Thank you for sharing this I’ve been waiting for your next video 🙂

We did similar conditioning drills years ago when I studied American Kenpo; made it that much easier when I switched to Kyokushin.

Amazing The real Karate love it. I don't know if I can endurance the training.

full respect.thank you for wideo....wey wery good

Hi Jesse, happy new year ! I love all the videos you post ! it's so interesting and i'm learning a lot ! i also practice Karate and i have one request :) can you please Make a videos for each styles of Karate? i'm practicing Wado ryu style and i really would like to know more about it have a great one Karate Nerd :)

Well,i got to say that you do know how to give respect & get respect.and yes,emptying of the mind is only possible when you are 'one' with the other.very deep video.

Hey Jesse, my karate nerd dude. Happy new year to you and your family, especially to your karate mom of who I think is the grandmaster sensei of the school. I was thinking about you also when I was on vacation and here’s the most main part that’s cool: I was at a Japanese cafe for lunch a few days ago with my family that served up some ramen or rice bowls with meat and veggies. And I shared with my family of what I learned from your previous Okinawa videos of you having the steak and that Japanese word of awesome. Well thanks for the memo that’s easy to learn. Take it easy for now and I hope your KZfaq and karate career gets better in the year of 2019 and beyond. :) Talk to you later. BTW, nice video of yours you just posted.

I wait for this for Lang time because I watch all yours video

Jesse-san, good video. Nobody does karate like the Okinawans! I was in Okinawa last week and went to visit the museum there at the Karate Kaikan. I think I saw you walking down the hill.

This was a basic training routine from my late sensei. And to supplement this kind of training we could optionally drink a chilies and cloves mixture juice to help bones hardening

Heyyyy a new video by jesse san. Thank you

AND Sensei Happy New year🎇🎆

Wow impressive! Nice video!

Jesse sir, I think you meant Uechi Kanji is the 4th generation, great grandson of founder Uechi Kanbum. The grandfather of Uechi Kanji was Uechi Kanei, son of Uechi Kanbum. Great videos! I hope you keep up your travels and videos. Best wishes.

Oss sensei. Once I attempted a seminar organised by my teacher and world champion Sensei Takishi Yamaguchi came to India for teaching us. While we were training he came to me for correcting my punch. Then he told me to hit his stomach hard. So I did. Then he said Harder. And when I did. His abs felt like steel to me. It was so hard. So I guess training is the key. And patients will let us to success. 😊😊 oss sensei

Happy new year Jesse.

Jesse san can you do a kokutsu dachi tutorial and tips ?please.

i also do conditioning like than thank you sir

Happy new year Jesse san!

Thank you

Sensei Jesse , happy new year! Always thank you for your wonderful karate videos. 上地流沖縄空手 looks like full contact style karate , doesn't it?

Jesse Enkamp sir If you want to know more about body conditioning you just go to a well known kyokushin karate dojo.a full contact karate dojo

Happy new year 2019

A block can also be a form of not just defence but also offence because if you’re well conditioned a hard block against an opponent who’s not trained will cause him to be in pain rendering him unable to continue.

Wow they really hit hard it’s the one part of karate I can’t get use to I’m to delicate 💪🏻

Awesome !!!!!

a good and useful video! but I would like to see you train with a Karate Kyokushin fighters

Hello Sensei Jesse (white wolf) ;) You must know me from comments already :) Since i started training with my grandfather "seriously" around 12 yo he taught me alot about pain and for example had a bunches of a bamboo sticks and i used them on whole body while i was training muay thay ocassionally but i think and from my practice,body is constructed this way that some kind of mental strenght will stay with as forever and skill to deal with pain as one of the body senses like smell hearing etc that body get softened back again after a while.

Thanks for the video, very interesting. Are there any exercises that can be practised alone, without partner??

That was interesting!… you are a great sensei......

i loved it ! , is that a kyokunshin version or is it just similar?

I practice this since 1976

Tank you

Great new video, Jesse!! May i grab the opportunity to wish you and yours all the very best for the upcoming new year?!! Let's make it a great one!! :)...OSU!

Really cool!

Thanks for posting this up. In your opion Is there a certain age or rank that this should be introduced?

I bealive both body conditioning and having good stamina is nessary

In our school of ju-jutsu (a mix with with brazilian jiu jitsu and japanese ju jutsu) we practice this type of conditionning

Pretty impressive

The arm conditioning reminds me of 3 star blocking They've got some weight in those motions though. Most the time you just see a swing but the weight makes that hit deep.

Very Nice karate ji

I have studied "Kung Fu" with my sifu almost daily for years when we did the "stomach punches" together.I wanted to be careful for I had to build up myself just to survive his classes. He compared me to the professor in the Chuck Norris movies, so I wanted to be careful. After we got done He noticed the red spot didn't go away. And for the next couple of hours we would laugh and he would pull up his shirt and say," Look at this, its still red!" the problem was I didn't want to hurt him so I thought I was pulling my punches , but in reality I was doing internal punching.

Anything like karate is never enjoyable at the time you are doing it. If you are not experiencing pain of some sort, you are not training to your full potential. The enjoyment comes after the training, and knowing that you have done your best and gotten the most out of the session. I always look at any bruising I've received at the dojo each night as a badge of honour.

If you listen you can actually hear how hard there arms & legs are WOW!

Very good video, very important to train like this, specially for people like me , very skinny, I always think to stop a punch you need to be strong, thanks , from Germany jcs

@jesse when you said that you would collapse from one of those punches, was it real or only from respect ? Because i saw many karateka doing karate for many years and never felt actually how it feels to be punched for real. In kyokushin this is daily basics

The gym helps you get stronger but this conditioning is what makes you tougher

I love Uechi Kanji's uncomfortable, tough it out, face he makes when hes being hit haha. i wish i could mimic that scowl in the dojo!

MUSHIN.. Empty your Mind.. or Empty your cup... Thank you Sensei Jessee.Oss.

Good,,,

Great

Nice 👍 video 🙂📸

Today morning also I worried about new video of you

Other than makiwara in shotokan is there this type of conditioning in shotokan?

I remember having my forearms whipped for conditioning when i was a kid. Not for any Martial Arts but just for standard training to get a strong guard.

You should do an episode demonstrating how to do Karate on a Wooden dummie. The kind typically used for Wing Chun.
