Wow .. that last part was deep.. and kinda hit me emotional. I walked into a dojo today because I wanted to learn Okinawan karate (the roots or the grandfather of karate is what I call it) to help with my MMA . My friends think I’m crazy and believe it’s a waste of time. But something inside me tells me I need to learn it. And I had a chance to talk o the headmaster. He is a humble Okinawan and was happy to see a student walk in. After two days I said sign me up. It’s nothing I’ve ever done before and very philosophical. It’s challenging. I thank master Kiyoshi Arakaki. As of today on my 4th day of class. I am now a student of Muso-Kai karate in SLC Utah ♥️ and I hope to achieve beyond blackbelt someday. 🥋

The greatest Sensei of Matsubayashi ryu in Argentina don't teach karate as a living, have their jobs and teach karate on their free time. The positive thing about this is they don't depend of the amount of students to keep teaching or need to make Karate more attractive, they focus on the root of the style and try to pass the essence of karate theirs Sensei taught them.

@myshadowkungfu 4 жыл бұрын

Yes. Mr. Enkamp. It’s a shame that a martial artist, of their stature, can not make a living out of something that requires that much hard work. So, part of it is that, the world we live in, is dog eat dog, to one degree or another. A lifelong debt. A debt that can never be paid. That is what a person who has sent their child, or self, should feel towards someone who dedicated their life to their art but, was also is selfless enough to teach/pass on what they learned. Like the kungfu master in Okinawa that lived in a cage and had the people sustain him. It is not something from a bygone age, it is something forgotten. May your words set in motion the re-appreciation of the humble masters.

That was a beautiful conclusion to this video. It actually had me a bit choked up because I can relate with my Hanshi in Puerto Rico - she works and volunteers with the National Guard then goes to the dojo and teach. I have renewed my motivation to dust off my gi and kuro obi 🥋and start refreshing my Kenyu Kempo training. Sensei Jesse, I want to thank you 🙏🏾... please continue the work you’re doing. It is greatly appreciated. I hope to one day meet you and train with you. First, I need to loose weight! I will continue reviewing your videos. Domo ari-gato

Loving this series. Nice balance between showcasing interesting facts about Okinawa in general and then focusing on karate. Unfortunately, most people don't train as much in traditional martial arts styles any more whether in Japan or elsewhere due to the demands of the modern world and alternative forms of entertainment. To master a martial art takes years of practice, dedication and patience. It is a pity that these senseis are finding life hard in the modern world. I know it is not the done thing to train with more than one master. Maybe they should group together and offer packaged short holiday trips where curious holiday makers can train like Jesse with multiple masters and have an amazing experience.

Jesse Sensei, I am incredibly humbled by your words in this episode, twice! First when you imparted your thoughts on the culture of training under a single teacher in Okinawa. I know I was taking your journey for granted, viewing it as a right instead of a privilege. Thank you for sharing your thought. Secondly, upon your conclusion: These masters, the best in the world, have to work multiple jobs to make ends meet. This was incredibly profound as it reminds me to honor the sacrifices one must make to be the best and the humility it takes to practice karate. The men and women you have showcased in this series demonstrate the utmost in skill, dedication, and passion. With a humble heart I thank you for sharing your journey, Derik Weber, CT, USA

Personally speaking, what you're doing in these videos is excellent as a cultural insight.

Jesse San. It would make sense that that the hibiscus plant is the national plant of the Japanese state. Its also quite popular and a staple in Mexico. Not surprised we took it from the Japanese, its so dam good. We just add alot of sugar to it.......😂😂 At the early turn of the 20th century many Japanese immigrated to Latin America. For example Mitsuyo Maeda the man who taught "BBJ" to the Gracies in Brazil would be a prime example. Its so cool to see how the small little things are connected to history. Tell when, oh when are you goinng to visit or do a episode on the ultimate truth the art that was created by Sosai Mas Oyama?? Can you please, tell me when??? It just doesnt seem fair thats the only type of Karate or maybe one of few you havent showcased on your channel.
