You were just going to the wrong karate dojo. Sounds like there was more of an emphasis on sport (point) karate. A true dojo is going to also include plenty of striking (with the makiwara) and conditioning of the body to toughen it! Tournament karate stresses control and pulling punches to score without injuring your opponent not good if you can’t switch that mindset in a street fight. Happened to me as a brown belt! I assure you Karate is still deadly but depends on where you train and your goals. There’s a video on KZread of a Okinawan Sensei in his late 70s. The guy breaks a fricken makiwara! A blow like that would be lethal to a human being!

I trained in traditional karate for many years as a teen. It was not until I started to train in BJJ, Muay Thai, and MMA that I relaied how ineffective traditional karate training is. I also recall how I used to fall for the ploy traditionalists used to say - that a lot of the more effective techniques of self-defense are "hidden" in true and real karate and that I just didn't know it and had to keep seeking and looking to find it. I am sure once you peel back all the woo-woo mysticism of traditional karate and hidden bunkai nonsense - if you truly and genuinely sought to train the way people serious about self-defense train - it will look much like BJJ, Muay Thai, and MMA do today.

Your confusing today's traditional Karate with the original traditional Karate. It depends on who's school you have learned from Okinawan Karate has always had pressure points, joint locks, and take downs. Schools in Okinawa Still teach the original traditional Karate, the majority of them do and it does not mean that because a school has hundreds of students and dojos around the world that they teach you better karate then a single small Dojo in Okinawa that only teaches select students. You will get better training from the small dojo with only few students. Karate was not meant to be taught to a large crowd of students except if your interested in exercise only. Karate is taught according to your type of body. So it is not practical to teach to large number of students at the same time the Kata the exact same way for everybody.

The way you describe as Karate being "incomplete" the same could be said for boxing. In Roman times when boxing was the official sport, even though there was never any kicking, any strike using the hands was allowed: backhands, hammer fist, open palm strikes, etc... Holds were also allowed, not anything like breaking arms or joint lock, but you could grab and toss or move your opponent into striking positions kind of like the Muay Thai clinch does.

Thank you Jesse for the videos you put out. This one in particular hit home because prior to my original Sensei Reno morales passing away in 2013, we would often have discussions on the original arts from Okinawa. Many talks discussed, how Sensei Gichin Funakoshi was viewed by both Japanese and the Okinawans. The truth hurts sometimes but, it has to be said to clear confusion sometimes. Sensei Reno had visited Japan long ago while in the U.S. military . He elaborated on many topics troubling him about modern Karate and also answered my many questions. One of my questions dealt with the actual grappling in karate. He explained, originally there were at least 13 throws which were commonly practiced but later discarded for the purposes described in your video. Clearly the katas in Karate leave plenty of room for questions in a young karateka's mind ( that was me). Thank you for bringing to light what was long ago discarded but essential for true combat Karate. OSU!!!

When rules are implemented and a martial art is categorized as a SPORT, the "secret" techniques of any fighting system are bound to be lost and/or forgotten. Same thing happened judo. Then comes some individuals who bring them back and claim to invent them. Thanks Mr. Enkamp for your insight.

While I don't know if there was ever a show like that in nature, I have seen a movie that I found interesting called, "Fighter in the Wind," that was something of a dramatization of the life and experiences of Masutatsu Oyama, founder of Kyokushinkai Karate. Although it's about the man as much as it is the style and it doesn't really relate to this subject matter at hand, I think it's still worth the watch if you can find it and I think those who made it might be able to pull off the creation of the series you're suggesting. From what I could find of any historical worth, by all accounts Mas Oyama was a really interesting figure and supremely skilled in his own right. In some aspects I think of him as a bit like Bruce Lee in that he had experience with other styles/methods of martial arts, the influence of which can be seen in Kyokushin. Apart from Karate (I believe he was experienced in both Shotokan and Goju Ryu if I recall correctly) he also had experience in Boxing and Judo. (There may have been other styles, but I don't remember well enough to comfortably state it as fact.) If you aren't already familiar with the man behind the martial art, I won't go into further detail, but suffice to say there is a reason he was given the nickname, "The God Hand," and so much more in regards to his accomplishments.

When I saw first my friend practising karate, I literally felt so awkward. The first time when I saw it, I felt it was definitely incomplete because the karate is a form of art where the body posters, even while striking had the defense. Especially some body posters felt like they were meant to be there for holding the opponents's body parts or being ready for the counter grapple stunt. Now I do boxing but seeing this video removed by incompleteness and made me realize my intuition was true. Thank you brother.

I think punching has a tendency to be more efficient. Also the way boxers train quickly weeds out ineffective technique. The only downside is that you can develop brain injuries relatively early in your boxing training.

Absolutely, so many hand strike styles to choose from

Enjoyed the history lesson. I remember learning about Funakoshi when I studied karate in my youth. The founder of modern karate do as I learned. This was a good eye opener about some of the history. I think anyone who has studied a martial art knows that being well learned in the various zones of fighting is important. We had a boxer training in our dojo who typically wanted to spar only using hands. He had some great hooks. It was fairly simple to nullify his hands by using low level kicks. He didn’t like getting his ribs bruised from sidekicks. I on the other hand learned valuable lessons about movement of my head so my nose wouldn’t be broken. And of course a grappler would just take us down. Learning various fighting disciplines and being fit is the only truth to know about the fight game. Much respect to all practitioners no matter your chosen discipline.

As a Judo practicioner I can relate to this. Making judo an olympic sport has taken out essential techniques like footlocks, leg grabbing take downs and some techniques considered dangerous. What we're left with is a watered down version of a complete fighting and self-defense system, just like what you are saying about Karate. I don't actually practice Karate (I did for a while when I was 11), but it's super interesting hearing your educated and critic point of view about martial arts. We need more people like you in the Budo world Jesse, congratulations!!

So 5nor 6 years of train8ng with zeronactual resistance from anyone. Throughout this time me and my friends constantly wrestled with each other and i was quite good at that too. In my first real fight it took me about 20 seconds to realize my karate did nothing and i won by using the wrestling i had taught myself. After that i started boxing and kickboxing and within a month i wae a better fighter than in all my karate training. Dont waste your time.

This is too true. I first started doing 13 years of Okinawan Karate, where we practiced kihon, kata, kumite, Kobudo and body conditioning. There was hefty Bunkai practice too. The distance of fighting was actually quite close. I was told that until an attacker (we assume, not armed with a gun) was in danger range, you could just make distance between yourself and the other guy, until you had no choice but to fight up close. Fast forward many years later, I started doing JKA Shotokan and noticed that the distance became like "fist Kendo". The fighting distance was like 6 or 7 feet now. No more Kobudo and very little Bunkai either. Now, doing BJJ, my coach would say create distance; if he gets close, back up. Until you have no choice but to fight, then CLOSE the distance to you are in your opponent's face. JKA Shotokan has no real answer to "up in your face" encounter. Shotokan gutted all the other good stuff originally practiced in Okinawan Karate. You may disagree, as theses are my own observations and opinions.

@@KARATEbyJesse karate saved my life. A friend of mine in high school showed me a block. Uchi-uke gaden barai, so the combination block, not both separate... he knew I was a Bruce Lee and van damme fan, grew up in a small country town. Just learnt what I could buy, practising again and again and rewinding the vhs tapes, anyway, Monday, my mate, Robert said to me go to punch me, anywhere... and then he did the block, I was impressed. he said yeah I've been doing karate. That was it four years later I became the full contact fighting champion of Queensland, Australia. I beat the heavyweight Australian champion to get that title. I have only ever fought in the first round, in a full contact championship no one would fight me after watching the fight I would win titles because people would decline to fight me after watching me FINALLY being able to execute my craft, without fear of hurting my opponent. As you know, Dolph Lundgren is a martial arts expert, he won the Australian title one time, but that was the one year my branch chief Tony Bowden, didn't win because he was over in Hawaii competing for the worlds. He got 16 and 2 or 3 over times. There is even a ride up on the Internet somewhere, the punch that rocked Hawaii. His instructor was Mas Oyama. If you look at the book, Cameron Quinns the Budo karate of Mas Oyama. It's just full of my instructors and friends Dad's from school etc when I was 15 I fought John halford (1998 i think) world champ kickboxing. At 17, I was in the military, my kyokushin training served me well, it was actually really easy and not a challenge at all. I was kinda disappointed to be honest, then by the time I was 19 I was on a warship in the Middle East doing boarding operations. Never once have I ever doubted my capability. It's been tested many times and I'm still here. Honestly, it doesn't matter what you do, its all on you but when you have the right information you get to where you want to be a hell of a lot quicker. I now have motor neuropathy I can barely hold a pen and write. Recently i was the victim of a road rage incident. I am 5'11 and only 75 kg now I pulled over just to let the dick head drive past me but he pulled over in front of me, blocking my car pulled me out wanted to have a fight. I just remained composed, because honestly I haven't trained in 20 years. This guy was like 6'4 (my sons height) and easily 100+ kilos look like you've been laying bricks his while life, I asked him one simple question to go in the upper hand straight away. What is your armament? When he asked me what armament was, I just relax, exhaled and smiled. Then he tried to put me in a headlock and punch me a few times, but as soon as he got me in a headlock because it was not correct, I gave him a little not even hard uppercut more just to stun him and then for half a second, and then I stepped with my left leg across his body, reach down between my own legs behind his knee, and then pulled his knee up between my own legs, then I took him to the ground. He tried to get away, created more tension, and all I needed to do was move, my hips and his face went into the bitumen. As I am writing this, I remember saying there's people watching. I couldn't really say it that well he was squeezing my neck pretty tight. I actually thought this is gonna end up on KZread 😝 but yeah I just took him to the ground and when I let him go and got up he was running away. Literally didn't even think just reacted. I was on my way to visit one of my friends, a person that I sold a puppy to a few years ago and became mates with. I don't condone Street fighting that's just childish, stupid behaviour, but when you have to defend yourself, you have to defend yourself. It works. Can't argue with the results.

I never learn how to sword fight but after training, martial arts, I could pick up a sword and just fight. Well also, very well.. i was truly amazed. That's when the penny dropped. Wax on wax off paint the fence etc was litteraly like OMG. Training the same body mechanics, it's almost like your sword, fighting without a sword. Kind of like capoeira being just 'a dance' not a martial art you know it's like one of those hidden factors, but anyway.

I love Sensei Jesse and learned a lot from him. I adapted my karate quite well to only hands for my gym tier at the time. All the dachis help you to know where you're at and how to play in between them and learn what different angular punches complement the stances. It's nice to not have to worry about leg kicks for once and just be able to sometimes shell up and sit into punches. You just got to remember you can give and take way different angles with punches now, ( Beware of the overhand) ( learning a reverse Ridge hand chop really helps you learn how to do an overhand) parrying and cross-block helps much. When kicks are involved, it's proclivity to rely on darting in and out with 1/2's and reverse straight punch and keep your distance and rely of being the superior fencer or counter'er with kicks when the other guy ain't karate or TKD, but now you can dirty box, use your karate agility to out jab them, and take a break and shell up without worrying about getting kicked in the legs

I practice shotokan and the open hand techniques as well as the grapping, throwing, strangling... are still there, mostly in the bunkai. It's just a question of focus: shotokan mainly focus on percussion technique while projection and submission techniques are less practiced. And the main reason for it is time: most karateka outside Japan do only 2/3 hours of Karate per week, it is simply not possible to do everything in such short time. The real problem with sport-karate is when the techniques aim to be beautiful and not to be effective (with the very wide and low stance for example).

The arbitrary limitations of boxing (only hitting with knuckles), this actually has encouraged incredible innovation over time to get around these limitations. This is why ‘hand fighting’ and punching ability in MMA and other, more complex styles, is ironically much more simple and underdeveloped compared to boxing.

A boxing skillset alone isn't enough in MMA. But all MMA fighters will train boxing if they seriously want good hands. The specialised skillset you get from boxing makes it the absolute best at that. If you diluted it with half arsed grappling and kicks, you dilute the cross training potential.

Thank you for this video, I'm almost 40 yrs old, my grandfather told us when we were young that the Karate we learned back in the days was not complete. He was born in Japan in 1911 and came to Vietnam and married my grandmother, I never understood it. What he taught us is quite similar to today but a lot more that I do not see in in modern Karate.... I never really dive deep or care due to the busy lifestyle in the West, now I got some time to get back to martial arts, but this video really makes sense. Very informative and educational!

Guys.... I just love martial arts SO much. From when I first started boxing after I finished high school to know where I am currently learning Taekwondo. This video just gives me even MORE pride into the arts that I have learned.

Excellent documentary Jesse, full of stuff I didn't know.

I practiced Kyokushin karate and now I'm into boxing. Kyokushin was an incredible experience; I loved the intense training, the environment, and the people. I was improving steadily, but the only issue I had was with kata and other traditional aspects that we practiced most weeks. While it was amazing, I craved actual fighting. I wanted to spar, not necessarily every day, but at least once or twice a week. Unfortunately, my karate gym lacked regular sparring opportunities; we only did light sparring once every 2 to 3 weeks. If I had started earlier, perhaps at 18, I might have stuck with karate. But being 23 now and juggling two jobs, I couldn't afford to waste time. I recently took up boxing, and it's pure chaos - and I love it. Training with Olympic-level coaches has given me a broader perspective on this sport. They truly understand the sweet science of boxing. We're taking it one step at a time, with a strong emphasis on regular light sparring a few times a week. When comparing karate and boxing, in close combat situations, boxing is definitely more effective. However, if a karate practitioner has experience, can handle pressure, and incorporates movement and kicks, I would lean towards Kyokushin. Kyokushin practitioners are incredibly tough, although they lack emphasis on head punches.

Because many MA was turned to regular sport. Normal MA was meant mostly for real fight (if not for killing), havent flashy moves, have dirty (by sport standards) moves.

That tends to happen when you turn something from a practical combat art into a regulated sport. The latter CAN'T be fully effective since part of the goal is to limit harm to the competitors. Modern fencing, I think, showcases this very well. I do think that it's important for most styles to delineate between and preserve both "full combat" and a "for competition" versions of themselves. You attract new students with the safer competitions, but maintain a fuller, more practical version of the style in the schools, so that the full art is not lost.

@@kilerog And we have a few problem here: 1. How many peoples really know full art? Pre 20th century version, which was used for life-and-death battle. 2. I dont think any goverment will support teaching of non-sport MA for regular civilians. 3. MA now is business. You can easly sell "become a carate-kid by training 3 hours per week" thing, but its very hard to sell "you will need to work realy hard almost every day, sparring is potentially dangerous, you most likely will go to prison if you will use those tecnics outside gym".

Of course it's human nature to avoid getting injured in training or disabled in a tournament. That's not an easy route, that's chosing health over perfection. Apart from that, there are still enough injuries happening in Judo randori.

Fantastic!!! I love your videos!!

Thank you very much Jesse Enkampf, for your awesome, indepth but concise story telling. Exciting and not too superficial for its length. Came here from the other video and I thinnk it's a very nice unique video style that I have not seen yet, very nice. 🥊 Thanks for enlightning about Motobu Choki, the true Karate, and that hilarious news article showing the JP karate fighter winning instead of him, a giant lying world and politics, as you made clear Motobu wasn't trained well in, in the other video. I'm also thinking with this true Karati style, perhaps the famous JP karate fighter who challenged Bruce Lee would have had more success (but he had got defeated one-sidedly), of course now more understandable 🥋

Great video with interesting history! After many years I’ve realized that people emphasize the ‘differences’ of martial arts instead of looking for the commonalities and practical application. Whether Daito Ryu Aiki Jujutsu, Okinawan Karate (Goju, Shoto, Kyoku) or HEMA - the body moves the same way and the joints lock the same way in Europe or in Asia. Different styles evolve similar techniques, because the building blocks are the same. The first time I saw a HEMA sword takedown I thought “that’s Osoto Gari!” Much respect - thank you for the great content.

Did this dude just say "Make Karate Great Again" 😂😂😂

Thank you My father was a boxer and a karate fighter in the ring in his youth in the 60's It always stuck in my mind how he could use two parts and make it one for any situation.

Thank you Jesse for this wonderful insight.
