The Kata Critic (Ep. 2) - Jesse Enkamp 

One thing I have to say is that those guys have some major balls to be able to put their katas on the internet so they can be criticized, knowing that the trolls might have a field day. I've been doing forms for over 30 years, and I don't want to go through that. Major respect to all of those guys. All of you have guts!

Loved this one. I really like this series! Plus my respects to people who gets their Katas analyzed because it really shows the desire of self improvement! Cheers!

I think I might improve my kata just by wearing a SeishinGi 🤔!!

Thank you very much for comment my kata 🙇‍♂️🥋

Lol Jesse. That philosophical statement: "Everything is right, which is why everything is also wrong."Making us laugh with the essence of karate 😂

I really like how so many of your videos and your advice applies to me even though I do Taekwondo. I actually consider TKD a karate style but I'm scared that if I say that too much I'll offend people.

What’s really interesting is that while my kata wasn’t being evaluated, everything you said applies to my katas I.e. relaxation, pauses, making the kata look like a real fight, etc. This is a great series! Thank you for taking the time to share your wisdom, knowledge, and experience with all of us! 🙏🥋

It's always important to practice your stances

Thank you for the way you explain more fully what my teacher says. I’m not exactly what or how you’re doing it differently, but both of these kata critic videos have made something click that I know has been explained in class. Thank you for starting this series.

Respect and gratitude to everyone who submitted their kata! 👍 Check out Episode 3 here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VJ0JRNhRlKc.html 🥋

I really like these kind of videos. Thank you for sharing your expert knowledge, Jesse-sensei!

Thanks for your critique of thee katas, also thank you to the people that submitted them.

I like the sepai performance. I'm quite envious of those low shiko dachi.

It is hard to find the balance in technique, nor the less trying to explain it. Well done again Jesse. Doing the kata's slow and studding the intent is always helpful in improving your performance.

Oss sensei. You are the best teacher to teach kata I have ever met. Oss sensei

Thank you very much for the criticism Jesse San! I do tend to rush techniques some times.

I learn so much with all your vids 👌🏽👍🏽I love all of them👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Muito boas dicas. Estou de olho, Jesse...e aprendendo!

Snälla gör fler sådana här videor!

Me encantaron los comentarios que realizas sobre las katas, son extrapolables a muchos estilos sino a todos ahora a seguir practicando y aplicando lo que mencionas para mejorar... Suena mas facil el decir que el hacer

@5:30. That was so fast I had to slow it down. Incredible Jesse San! 🥋🙏

I absolutely love there videos!!!!

I'm waiting to see someone submit sanchin kata.great series

Great video, thank you

Nicely explained Jessey

Best Channel Series

Osu Sensei Jessy i am from Sri Lanka i am a fan of you from long time.. i watch your video and it’s really useful.. I am hope to meet you one day!! Big Osu from Sri Lanka !!!

I am learning my first kata it’s the H pattern I’ve only learnt the two variants of it so far

We are not allowed to show anything we do online, totally forbidden. Not sure exactly why but we follow the rules. I think this a great concept and as others have said even if not their Kata what you are saying applies. I love the fact i can get to read other peoples comments that mirror my thinking, and sometimes it is in the subconscious part of my thinking, but it is still there, as a light is going off in my mind as I am reading. My brain injury slows my learning down a lot, ruins my flow and rhythm as I need to teach my limbs to work again, I cant think of a better way than Kata for that.

Thanks from Texas.

the difference between different styles is crazy. that second kata was tekki shodan in shotokan karate. my style and is very different from the one i know same with tekki nidan.

Ive never seen kicks in pinan san dan before that's rather interesting to see it done that way

Muito bom... obrigado pelas dicas. Osu!

I love these episodes! Gimme more 😂

Arigato, sensei Jesse!

Am I the only one who enjoys hearing Jesse talk?

Thank you sir Sir oss

Very useful

I still love the idea!

Jesse I'd like to see more videos of you doing kata.

Jesse Sensei that was an awesome video! Could you please make a video regarding the eye contact during performing katas ? Coz it had been a great topic of debate in our dojo and we still don't have a clear understanding on it.

I practice Tang Soo Do, and Pyung ahn sam dan is VERY similar to heian sandan! nearly identical, but we do exaggerated pauses.

You’re the best and jag visste inte att du var svensk

Out of topic Jesse Sensei, can you also create a video about giving tips on what to do if you have a sweaty feet and your dojo is made of some shiny, slippery, wooden panels like the one that you have? I transferred a dojo and they are using the same wooden panels that you have in your dojo. And oh boy its so slippery especially when i am sweating. I was used in using rubber mats so that’s why. Hope you can notice me here! Ossu!

Nice

sensei, that helped a lot, now I know how to improve my kata, but I still have a question. In some places they mentioned that their shoulders should be down all the time during kata, and I didn't find the explanation for that. could you tell me? and maybe talk a little more about these little details of performing a kata. thanks for the channel and attention

Hi Jesse! Every time i watch one of your videos,i always think: you should do training series... :D I think everybody would improve therselves.. :)

Please do a video on Papuren Kata. Maybe a tutorial or something similar. Thank you. Osu

Oss Sensei love from India

I have a question: if someone were to send you a video of their sparring match, would you be willing to do a critique for them? I'm looking to improve my footwork, and I do have senpai and sensei who I can ask for feedback, but they're not always available and plus, I live in a really small area in Southern Illinois (we are actually referred to as the armpit of the United States.) I respect and valye their input, but getting some feedback from someone who doesn't know me and has worked eith world-class practitioners would be just as valuable to me.

I like how you compared katas to music. I've thought about performing the same kata differently just like different versions of the same pop song.

Nice serie, and good camera Angeles and transsision like karate nerd 🥋 🤓 keep it this right and cool bro greetings for Chile and sorry for my primitive English

Thank you for this informative series Jesse Sensei. I wonder if someone could tell me how to upload a Kata please? Thanks Pete

To me a kata is (and this is my personal opinion) is a theoretical fight because with me a kata isn’t a flashy show of how good you are at karate and my students don’t really understand this (I teach a kids class 8-10yr olds) but a kata is show is to show what you can do in a fight or self defence situations you have a kind violent aspect to you’re kata but you don’t to much violence or that whould be the opposite of the purpose of karate ‘self defence’ but in a fight you kind of to improvise because a person who fighting you isn’t going let you perform long winded fancy moves you want to finish a fight as fast as you can and you want to get out of a self defence situation as fast as you can but this just my personal opinion

When the gentleman was performing Seipai from Goju-ryu, Look at the judges. I don't care how you feel about what you are watching, sitting there the way the three women are is disrespectful and it looks like you are not giving it your full attentijon to the judging. When you are a judge, you should sit like you are at attention, even though you are sitting. And give everyone the respect thy deserve for performing.

Brilliant Analysis Sensai. Footing, Mobility, Delivery, is the order of things. I shall send a Kata to you for your thoughts. How do I send it?

Dear sensei Jesse . Im wondering if You have though about creating your own Kata with your personal style. Or if maybe any of the karate comunity have created his own Kata. It' sure would be interting to watch

Even though it is low level I enjoy bassi dai

Which style of karate do you prefer I prefer goju ryu Love ur vids❤️

OSU Sensei....You gave realy valuable advises. It will be really helpful for me if I get the same. How to send you my kata video? Please let me know the procedure....Regards

Please bring out a light weight Seishin karate gi, I need it in my life

I'd like see your favorite kata. Show us , please!

Jeese Sir how can I send my katavideo for the next episode????

In Heian Sandan there is a mistake: there isn't Tate Shuto Uke after last Mikatsuki Geri.

How can I send you my kata? Luv your vids btw

Oss,sir, my master says that I am good at kata but very poor at kumite. So,could u please make 1 vdo on how to become good at kumite. And also scoring techniques..

I’m curious what do you think of other martial art styles?

How do I send u my video,Sensei?

Is it OK if someone from a different martial art does it. I wonna hear something from a karateka cuase i do tae-kwon-do and wonna hear from a different martial artist who wouldn't know the form/kata/pattern

I NEEEED HELP So I want to learn Karate, and on this site of a dojo that claims to have hundreds of dojos across my country, and to have taught 15 million people, teaching ages 4 and up. I was looking for the style, only to find that the style of Karate is Shaolin Kempo Karate, and that their great grandmasters art traces to the Shaolin Temples of China and India.. It goes on. Im not sure if Karate as an Okinawan/Japanese art makes much sense to be labeled Shaolin Kempo but.. If Im wrong, then maybe I'll give it a shot.

jesse san, how can i post my video of my garyu kata

When i was doing this kata in shotokan, we had a kick after the 2 hand blocks

How do I submit my kata?

I have university exam so I can t have time to go to dojo. So how can I train kata at home properly ? And I am a kumite competitor, and someone says Kata is ruining your kumite skills . Is that true ?

How do I show you my kata

If I sent you my kata but it doesn't make it to the next episode, is it okay if I sent it again? 😂😂😂😂😂

I kinda wonder what jesse-san would say about American Kenpo forms

形はみせるもの。period.

I love your Sensey videos, can you see my kata? It's on facebook

Oss , sir what Dan black belt u r?????

🙃

So if i want my kata to be corrected i must put the link here. RIGHT??

Now Sensi Jesse if you have noice there was no breathing.My Sensi is Masters Teruyuki Higa Okiwawa Karate 7th Degree Black.

I don't think u seen me doing my kata yet

5:30 Ignore..

The last kata lacked pacing, pauses and he actually didn't completely finish some moves, in other words quite rushed. It was also a little uneaten, which can be easily fixed by completing the moves completely without rushing

Jesse san..........can i get a seishin gi for kyokushin ........osu

Hi jesse sensei , how are you ? I see you unhappy last a few video .

Sorry to ask your dan.my master says never ask any master's Dan

spanish pls :c

Naihanchi was kind of sloppy in technique but it was good no offense. Giod kata

why comment on one kata, when you can rip on 26 of them here!!!: #katachallenge ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b3f3h9P78Q0.html

Yeeah, well... I'm a Shotokan green belt and I'm cringing when I watch these type of dead-ass kata videos. I weigh 89kgs and I'm three times faster than 2nd and 3rd video. Their katas have no life. There's no kime, no power, no speed. This looks like a hate comment, but that's my honest opinion. I'll send you one of my vids when I recover from surgery.
