As a Wing Chun practitioner, I can appreciate this lesson, most traditional arts are complete systems, punching, kicking, grappling and weapons. This is how they differ from sports. As i have commented before on your page, MMA guys continue to downplay the effectiveness of traditional arts, however, most MMA guys are beginners in many arts and therefore have no basis from which to speak of traditional arts. Thanks for your karate insights and support for traditional arts. Good stuff. Also, many arts do not give away the "secrets" until you have moved well pass black belt.

I'm originally a practitioner of kyokushin, so its refreshing to see sides of karate I wasn't introduced to. Thanks.

I'm a practitioner in Hapikido and we use all these moves. But I've never learned how to escape. Great stuff my friend! I agree I need a brother like Oliver my wife and kids don't like being my uke.

It seems in many styles (Shorin-Ryu for me) that we practice the actual joint locks themselves, but very rarely do we seem to practice the counters and escapes from the same locks. We're predominantly in a mindset of applying the technique TO someone, or letting our partner practice it on us - and I find myself often wondering, besides the obvious tongue-in-cheek "don't get caught in it in the first place", if you do find yourself on the receiving end, what's the best way out or to at least try to protect your joint from catastrophic damage. I really liked Sensei Enkamp's treatment of this in this video and would love to see more counter moves for future demonstrated techniques.

That's very interesting how to escape. I practice this movement a lot but never escape. Thanks Jesse san

A clear explanation and demonstration of 3 basic but important locks very useful for self-defense applications. OSS

It is interesting to see how everything goes in circles. I am both judo and jujutsu practitioner so I am well acquainted with both the counter-technique and the throw that ended the kaishiwazan. anyway keep up the great work and it is a nice youtube channel even for a judo nerd.

Jesse Sensei, I really appreciate your videos. I was an Army Brat and grew in Japan taking Shotokan and Judo. I love watching your techniques. You teach so much like a Japanese Instructor and your Knowledge is so extensive! Thank you!

Awesome! Maybe now people can stop debating about Karate vs BJJ and just appreciate the common roots

"Careful, fingerlocks are very painful."

I love that leg scissor takedown Jesse. Excellent applications.

Also, I need a brother like Oliver!😁

Love your kata interpretations, thanks so much!

Excellent. I like how you referenced kata!

The first lock you demonstrated is the first technique we learn in the white belt of Nagashima ryu Aikijujutsu. We call it Tekubi kime.

This is why I've loved your channel since I discovered it. You have information that is even useful to us judoka. I may not be a karateka and yet I always learn something new from you. Thank you!

These are great. Sincerely, a Kajukenbo practitioner.

Great video as always. I learned the first two but the third one is new for me as well as the escapes. Thanks again Jesse

You brought me back 30 year's. Keep doing what you are doing! Best way to move forward is to dive deeper into the past. Thank you.
