A (NEW) DAY IN THE LIFE OF A KARATE NERD | Jesse Enkamp 

Thanks for your nice comments! 😄 So fun to show you behind-the-scenes of my Karate work/life. Visit my website to learn more: www.karatebyjesse.com 👍

“Nothing ever grows in the comfort zone”.... love it! Words to live by.

"never let your style limit your karate "

PREACH! "If you're not completely dead after a kata you are not pushing your limits" I tell this to our students all of the time. Some of the best workouts come from just doing kata. Love your vids!

I'm only a striped belt and am learning the basics of kata, but I'm always the earliest to arrive and am ready to learn😄

4:10 I’m so glad I’m not the only one who gets the urge to kick buttons and doors 😂

Wow! The Technique shown at 14:35 is Kote-Gaeshi in Aikido and the technique shown at 14:45 is named Juji-Garami in Aikido. So to me, every martial art is connected somehow. I've practiced Aikido over 20 Years and now i am into Karate. Does this make me a martial-Arts-Nerd? I hope so ;-)

Your stances and techniques are so impressive. I love watching you perform those kata. So impressive

It’s not the first time I say this, but you seriously rock the contemporary world of Karate. Great vid mate!

" Never let your style limit your Karate " that is what i will take with me on my martial arts Journey. Thanks Jesse

I'm white belt just started today

Jesse, muy complacido de ver un joven artista marcial como tu. Eres una inspiración para los jovenes de hoy.

8:16 Hey! You're making my "stubbed my toe" face.

Thanks SO MUCH for showing the evening dojo segment. So useful to see how class goes in your (mom's) school. Your channel is the best.

Sensei Jesse,I'm learning so many offensive and defensive techniques by just watching and putting into practise your kata demonstration.Thank you so much Sensei,this is a treasure for me.Richard D'CRUZ,Malaysia.

Awesome video! I love Shotokan as well as other martial arts. Thank you for a great channel. When you interviewed Lyoto Machida, I was in awe. Watching your classes was an absolute pleasure. I'll remain in the "Osu Free Zone"

I love your Dojo and your classes! Reminds me of the way my Sensei use to have classes. I'm a brown belt in Shorin Ru but our training is minimal now due to no longer having a Dojo. Right now a few of us meet at a guys business who allows us to use at no cost. Still love training but need to find a new Dojo.

Thank you jesse and to your family for keeping alive karate's soul

Jesse your kata.....is magic. Congratulations OSS

You make your own kombucha? Wicked!! :D Also I liked your motto - if you’re not completely dead after a kata, you are not pushing your comfort zone.... I will apply this to poomse....

What an amazing Family and motivation you had since you were a kid, God Bless keep going my friend! You are giving so much to the society!

Amazing video Jesse, I love the karate lifestyle which I have been lucky to have been involved in from a young age just like you. Wishing your brother much luck for his up coming fight, its good to see traditional karate on show on a top class stage. TANG SOO

I recently found your channel and I am so impressed with your motivation. I appreciate all that you are sharing. Thank You from Las Vegas, Nevada.

Domo!! Thank you for all the videos you do!! I like how you said “nothing grows in the comfort zone”.

First Shotokan karate lesson last night for an older dude like myself......glad i found your channel

Knew your channel a few weeks ago but i'm already big fan, you really mean the "karate-do"! Wish i had a teacher like you. Thankyou for sharing your experience!

Another fantastic day. Passion , motivation. Greatest thanks

Again a great video! I really appreciate your way of looking at and understanding karate. Your mountain metaphor is very clear and brings out one of the main aspects I‘ve come to love about karate in the last years: we‘re all just a bunch of people trying to find a path, a way. And we are all trying to stay on it. Some of us will go a long way and not give up while some others will quit walking and leave the path along the way. It‘s never about reaching a certain point - like a grading test for example. It‘s actually about walking up this beautiful way. And walking together helping each other is always easier and a lot more fun!! Thank you for sharing with us once again your ‚behind the scenes‘ and for your passion motivating and educating karatekas around the world!! Arigatou gozaimasu!!

Jesse I think its awsome that you your brother and your mom all train together. I wish my family did that.

As always, your approach and philosophy are a source of motivation for me, especially when you mention that we shouldn't limit ourselves to one style. I have attained different kyu levels in 4 different styles of karate (no black yet!) and yellow in Judo, and I find that it all blends together: it complements each other to develop my own style. I really hope I can meet you someday, if you come back to Québec City (Karate Charlesbourg Rudy Duquet) or if I have the opportunity to visit beautiful Sweden again! Cheers!

Great video! Smashing personality, very watchable and an excellent teacher! Only found this channel recently, but probably the most enjoyable channel I subscribe to. Obviously helps having very well made and edited videos, but Jesse anchors everything with charisma, charm and humour. Outstanding!

You are alegend in the making,thanks very much for sharing your knowledge ..

You sir are a nerd and proud of it, as am I. I loved this video. Made me a subscriber. Thanks for bringing together the worlds of the karateka and the nerd

heck of a video jesse keep it coming youre inspiring us each and every day!

I love watching this guys videos because i love to use a Karate/Kickboxing Style in my MMA fights and Trainings 👍🏼

Please do more behind-the-scenes!!!!!Love the way you did that kata!

Super video my dear.you are an extraordinary creature.go ahead.let ur dreams come true.you r an amazing person.thank you so much for your videos.they r energizeing me to do my karate better

Awesome video Sensei Jesse! Love the series. Keep up he good work.

Very cool. Loving the vlogs and great to see more kobudo training your school is awesome!

That's a perfect day in my eyes ... great video

Excellent. This was very enjoyable. Thank you! Cheers from Indiana, USA.

Amazing. Loved every minute of this!

Your so inspiring to me that I started martial arts thank you so much !

One of my fav videos 👌 Especially Kata, that strength and speed 😲💪👌🥋 and what you say after Kata 👌

Loved watching this, thanks for the fab video lovely x

This is so inspiring. It is paramount that everyone understand that we could all be doing what sensei Jesse is doing if we totally and fully commit to it and we know that nothing comes cheap in terms of commitment and that if you really really want it you have got to sweat for it and what could be better than working your butt off by achieving your dream at the same time. What could be better than fighting day in and day out to make it happen , learning a different lesson every day. Your passion can be karate or it can be something else it doesn't matter, it could even be another martial art or sport or whatever but we all have the potential to live an awesome life by doing what we love, working hard and growing EVERY SINGLE DAY. Sensei Jesse you are such a nice guy and a source of inspiration especially for people like me who have decided to pursue martial arts as a way of life , I will always be ever so grateful to you for the great work you put out and I look forward to working with you when I will finally be running my own dojo because I want my students to meet and learn from one of the most inspiring men that fed my passion and gave me drive. I look forward to attending another one of your seminars. I bow deeply to you sir and I send you many good vibes so that you may continue to do what you are doing and be happy . Oss

Love your day in the life vids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad I'm not alone in the feeling of the gi being outdated. Love the vid!

It's a fun and honourable experience to see a the students learning weapons too from you. Cuz in our dojo we haven't been taught. Good to see. OSU#respectsensi😎😎

That was an awesome video! 🤩 Plus kudos to the camera guy/girl👍🏽

Awesome Jesse san. These behind the scenes vlogs are amazing. I eat that for breakfast too sometimes. Your take on life and aspects of training are so similar to my own. Keep up the most awesome work my friend. I like the part at the end with mum walking in. 'OH.............' Hahahaa fabulous.

Never let your style limit your karate! I like this!

Thank you for these longer videos Jesse ❤️

The way u create ur videos is awesome and I really like ur content which is very informative 🙇🏻🥋🥋

We need more like this videos

Another great video. All the best 👌🥋

I am very very triple very impressed by your training

U really make kata come to life I love watching maybe some time u could teach us a simple kata

Great video sensei! And as allways, it made mi wanna train so hard!

Love these videos

wow that looks like quality training. it certainly is a lifelong lifestyle. respect

I just love to listen to you in Swedish. I’ve only learned a little of it a couple of years ago (no use in Russia, at all) but the phonetics are so great... feel nostalgic! 😌

I want more!

I wished you tube existed back in the day. You remind me . Great video- Detroit, MI

I loved hearing a bit of Swedish (Jag pluggar svenska :D). I'm in para taekwondo, I always find something interesting and learn something new in your videos. Thank you! :)

Nice video. I really enjoyed the parts where you were teaching class. Most of us realize that you're multilingual, but it's neat to hear you speak a language other than English. The best part, though, was your victory over the snack jar at 17:15. :) On a related topic to what you were discussing at that time, I recall hearing that recently a group of Okinawan sensei were discussing the meaning of the word "karate" and that the "empty" did not actually refer to the hand, but the state of mind. That is, "karate" doesn't just refer to a hand without a weapon in it, but also to a hand that acts without thought, i.e. with an empty mind. And that reminds me of your article (or was it a video?) on Shoshin/Mushin/Zanshin. :)

Inspiring Kata, and your Mum with her weapons, oh my gosh she's my new Idol.

Loved It sensei!💙

I love your vídeos greetings from Bolivia.

Bad ass kata and candy cane socks....luv it! Always enjoy your videos.

Oss Sensei. Hi from Türkiye (Turkey). We learn diffrent things about Karate and we enjoy that. Thank u🙏🙃

Bruderrrr after the warm up that was Amazing those Moves and skill set... my eyes were like 👀👀 impressive 💯 And i love it that you react to the Comments after a 4 year Vid and that os amazing to cuz most of the "content Creators" dont do that

Great vlog man! Keep it up!

Sensei I can't wait to get to the level you are, to train even more harder than what I do so I can exceed my limits as a karateka the morning training was amazing motivation

Love this! my favorite part was the snack lid fail while your simultaneously explaining Empty hand vs Chinese Hand. lol

yooo jesse-san amazing video we would like to see more of the training in your dojo also you always say i practice all different style but i never saw you doing a shotokan kata , i would love seeing you do kanku dai for example i would learn so much of it :))

I wish Oliver good luck!

awesome truly

Love the t-shirt looks dope 🥊

I love your videos I take taekwondo but I like to watch traditional kata

amazing demo sensei

Watching Jesse perform Kata without a Gi was extremely impressive and humbling.

I liked very much your video. Specially the kata.

Great weapons training. Normally( not all but many) Karate schools do alot of the weapons kata without explaining or performing the applications. I was impressed by the belt /whip sparring. Maybe for a future episode you can do a video about fashion tips outside of the dojo. Many sport athletes and martial artists are not so fashion conscious. Also good luck to your brother. Again not the usual traditional Karate dojo. Your family and the Machidas seem to be pushing the envelope.

Awesome love this

Great video man.... really I appreciated!!! Oss

I love it Jesse am a white belt in shotokan and this is so motivational

When you next in the uk, would Love to attend one of your seminars

Another great video!! 👍👊

Awesome video, keep 'em coming Sensei :-)

Awesome vid as always Jesse! Would love to visit your dojo if I get the chance, Oss!!!

Those words at the end are really meaningful. :D

Nice video, thanks I really appreciate it, I like the kabudo class ,I really like to learn the nun chucks kata or maybe you can give me some tips to make one ,thanks again look to hear from you.

Nice workout!!

I watched all of your videos now

This seriously should be in Netflix
