I'm training Kung Fu like Jackie Chan. Then I enter the Wushu championship to test my Drunken Fist. If you're looking for inspiration or just want a laugh, watch until the end!

Would Jackie be proud? 🥹
Very proud 😊
👍💯💙
Of course
yes
Yes
If there were a movie where a guy who has no experience gets ready for a national championship in a week through the power of a training montage... we'd all call it unrealistic... but for Jesse that's just his day to day life.
Haha! You’re a legend Mike 🙏
yo,im early?
true
@@KARATEbyJesse no, that's you
@@alphaboi no, that's you! ;)
"But I decided to trust the process." One of the simplest and best pieces of advice for any martial artist.
Amen
I agree 100%. And that goes for anything in our lives.
for coaching people too
I felt that in my soul when Jesse came full circle and realized Jackie Chan wasn't just a martial artist.. but also one of the most mentally strong and brave humans to ever live
He is still alive bro , Jackie Chan isn't a martial artist.. but also .......
bruh most of his movie he did by himself with barely a stunt double. Most of the stunts in his movie he did it by himself with no stunt double
@@pankajmandal_2648 What do you call someone who has mastered 8+ martial arts at a high level like very few people?
Brother, as a karateka and (more than anything else) seasoned Kungfu practitioner, I can only tell you that if this was indeed your very first time learning not just Kungfu but probably the hardest style in all Kungfu (Zui Quan is notoriously the hardest), you have done EXCEPTIONALLY well. Also, you have quickly grasped a very key concept that many seem to ignore: by "being drunk" you let go of the fear and anxiety (like when you walked on the mat). This is something that a Drunken Fist fighter can really call an advantage. Karate people, Sanda people, Kickboxing people, Muay Thai, MMA, Wrestling... what do they all have in common before a fight? They tense up. They become rigid and stiff, more preoccupied with looking as big and deadly as possible rather than dominating their own space and using Agility as an actual advantage. Zui Quan enhances Agility and mobility (not only deception) in a way that makes you more comfortable and dominant, even when faced with otherwise paralyzing fear and anxiety. I strongly suggest you don't let go of the Drunken Fist style, but treasure its benefits and incorporate it into your own thinking and tactics. And if I can give you a suggestion (if you haven't done so already), you might want to spend some time training in Baguazhang as well. As you know it's the art Chojun Miyagi studied in China prior to founding Goju Ryu. It's one of the three main Internal styles (along with Taichi and Xing Yi Quan), I think it would benefit you a lot on your journey, "completing" Drunken Fist, in a sense. Best of luck, and well done!
@@videosbrute im guessing you arent serious by the end of your comment, but thats not a required move to learn, lol
Respect to you mate for giving it your all and trying this. Inspiring
Thanks! 🙏 Just remember, success is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration 💦💪😇
This is also due to his years of karate training that Jesse is able to assimilate a new form of martial arts so fast. He’s already developed a photographic and muscle memory. Pretty cool stuff! Big fan from Tahiti!
Its called Transfer...Thats why Karate is the best ''Sport" Martial art out there.
4:56 as an ex-karateka myself, I can sense Jesse's karate-like body set-up. If you see how sober and yet precise, direct and explosive are his hits and moves, as if all his strength and speed all came from his abs, you can clearly identify his basic karate training. YOU'RE PHENOMENAL, JESSE! 😎💪🔥❤️
I was thinking this exact thing. The moves that were probably meant to be slightly softer, he'd drop into a stance with more confidence like 'oh I know this move'
with a wushu-background I just thought the very same. But I actually liked it very much. I don't have fun anymore watching wushu-clips on YT. Feels, as if everything is so inside the box, nothing suprising happens, all the different forms a performed in such a ununique similar style. But seeing Jesse with his Karate-tensed movements I really enjoyed it.
@@84erMaxe As a Hung Gar practitioner, Jesse's rendition of the form was by far one of my favourites. It has strength without being rigid and fluidity without being flumsy. Recently learnd some South Shaolin forms and they have some really similar moves to karate which I was drawing some inspiration from.
As someone who practices kung fu and wushu, I will say that you did very well, especially for only a week of training and a shoulder injury. The only real issues were small details and body movement specific to the Drunken Fist forms but that stuff comes with a long time of experience. You can tell you have a very strong martial arts foundation so that made up for most of it. Great thing about Drunken Fist though is that it’s a very improv friendly and mistake friendly form since you can just act drunk. This also means it’s fun and you can be relaxed while doing the form. Anyways, very enjoyable and great performance.
Yeah I would say his movements look too 'karate-ish' but that's expected for someone coming from karate!
No Jacke was a real drinking master... And he admitted one of his interviews that he was drunk..
@@usamapirzada9945That means he is also a method actor
Congratulations Jesse! 🥉 As one of your compeditors at the nationals I must say you did an amazing job! Wushu as a sport is not very big in Sweden so it was fantastic to have you as part of our community, if only for a week! 😀
Dude. I loved that. I am relearning my Kyokushinkai Karate up to Dan grade after 22 year break! This actually helped me feel more like it is possible to do what has seemed like a huge hill to climb. Love you!
same here😁
I came back to Shotokan 5 or so years ago after a 25 year break. I got my Shodan first time around as a 24 year old, and take Nidan next month as a 62 year old. The kumite will be a challenge as I am sure the others grading will be a lot younger than me! But to do what Jesse did here - one week's training and takes bronze - amazing!
Jesse, so jealous of what you are doing. Going around and practicing so many arts. What I did as a poor kid, first through movies (mimicking movements) then through any and all "free classes" I could do. Finally ending with kajukenbo/Kempo with a $1 per night class fee (donation). Practicing that for 7 yrs. Wanted to do more with so many arts, good for you.
Shoulder pain is the worst, i have permanent nerve damage in my left shoulder i understand exactly what you mean about lack of sleep and the difficulty of putting clothes on. I'm proud of you for going through with the tournament! Your whole channel is a great source of inspiration.
Thanks for sharing!
My psoriatic arthritis is shifting my right should forward and can't bend it like I used to so I know how you feel.
Jesse… that’s what this whole KZhead thing was for , this moment . You got someone to teach you the drunken form (not to mention place in a tournament) Every karate nerd who saw those movies growing up wanted to learn to fight like that. You won my friend. Truly Inspiring!
Another awesome example of how perseverance and training can make you achieve anything. You continue to impress every time, Jesse Sensei! Sorry but I laughed when you approached the tatami doing the typical kata walk with the stiff arms and everything 😝 I guess decades of habit are hard to change overnight!
Haha I assumed they do it like we do in Karate 😂
Haha no we also mostly dont do any sort of loud kiai or what not... you're just supposed to be able to see the qi (ki) move through the fajing (explosive energy) movements
Jesse, that was a top class performance and a showcase of real talent with only a weeks training! Very well done, you should be so proud of yourself!
Wow, thank you Alex!
This is the most hilarious episode I have seen. Obviously if you’re gonna enter a competition with one week’s training, you’re asking for injury. But at the end I was very impressed with his stances and karate form within his drunken fist.
Haha funny comment. I also thought, "his form is quite karate-like". Certain stiffness in structure and the way his joints snap into position. It was fun to watch.
First of all really respect to Jessie's open mind and courage to learn and compete in different marital arts. Second, what I noticed is that Jessie still has his habit from karate when he's doing the drunken fist form such as the solid kime after each move. That somehow makes the entire form looks like it's from a southern Chinese martial arts style(南拳) because of the history between karate and southern styles. I don't know if drunken fist count as one of the southern styles nor is that the correct way or not, but it's very interesting to notice.
one thing that his coach forget to mention is that drunken fist kung fu is supposed to be fluid like the flow of wine... he would be more suitable for strong forms of kung fu such as hung gar where it requires power and firmness
I was gonna comment then I saw this comment, it's spot on. It's very good for a Karate guy, with only 1 face to face coaching, very short time to practice. Which usuall moves was start - pause, continue - pause and so on. The audience clapping at the end as an approval makes me smile 😁
@@budisutanto5987 yeah! I bet thats where the injury comes too. Its really a short time for a person to adquire the rithm and fluidity in kung fu. Let alone some one whos main is karate.
Wow, this comment helped me a lot, I was thinking his form had something different to it but couldn't quite put it into words. Nice!
I've just started training a new martial art (Wing Chun) after many years of Boxing and it's really confusing. It feels like everything I'm doing is backwards to how my body is used to moving. The fact that Jessie could learn so quickly in 7 days is testament to his focus and dedication.
Jesse, I am a new subscriber, and a kind hardcore Jackie Chan fan, I can say without a doubt he would be proud. You were not only not experienced in Kung fu, but you were nervous too and in pain, and you still got a Bronze medal, you deserve every bit of recognition you get, as a man that loves martial arts myself you have nothing but respect from me, if that is worth something. I will keep watching your videos, this is really interesting stuff, digging it.
Thanks and welcome!!
That was both thoroughly a pleasure to watch and very inspirational. Good job!! Very impressive for only one week of training in a new style 👏 👏👏👏
What an awesome performance at the end!!
Ranton
@@Stag132 that’s Hafu 😂
You two are one of my inspirations 🤍🤍🤍🤍❤️🤍🤍🤍🤍
My favourite Karate youtuber training like the Legend who inspired me to start learning Karate!This is definately some inspirational content right there.Thank you Jesse🙏 Also No pain,No pain,No pain
Hahaha I love the respect asian martial arts develop !
Jackie, the kung Fu guy, inspired you to learn karate?
@@verrufen2642 Well Karate also comes under the category of martial arts
@@verrufen2642 Karate originates from White Crane Kung fu.
Jackie was always one of my favorites. He had grit and made his movies so seamless without the obvious stunt doubles other flicks have. I hope he isn't in too much pain these days.
Wow.. this is soo sickie... and so inspiring too! I can't believe a karate guy like you possibly learned the Kungfu technique for just 7 days! I believe that Jackie Chan is proud of what you've done, Sensai Jesse!
that was sick as mate, you inspire me as a judoka, your level of confidence even though you were nervous at first truly made me feel like anything is possible as long as I put my mind and heart into it. _😄_
Glad to hear!!
@@KARATEbyJesse also congrats on getting a bronze medal, well done!! 😄
Thanks Jesse! Looks like I have a new training to jump into rather than my typical gym day.
The day you stop learning is the day you stop living! 💪
@@KARATEbyJesse thank you sensei Jesse, Osu!
Amazing. You are a great athlete to perform so well after 1 week of intensive training. Kudos to your Sifu as well. I believe it made a difference to not only have the athletic body for the moves, but also the right spirit. It was a joy watching you. Congratulations.
Jesse you just inspired me! I’ve been practicing different martial arts since I was 14, and right now I’m dealing with a lower back injury which has got me out of training for over a year. This has impacted me emotionally given I see the arts as a way of life. Seen you doing what you did has made me put my Gi today once again.
hey Rey. Core Core and then when u wanna give it all in loads more Core. Even if u only do diddy most insignificant core exercises you cant do enough core. x10 when u struggling with a back problem.
Oh my God, this video was so cathartic and so inspiring I even cried! I love Jackie, he is also my childhood idol that pushed me into my KarateDō journey. And I love you Jesse, for challenging yourself constantly and therefore pushing me into my own challenges, not stepping back on excuses or laziness. What a great video! Thank You! And congratulations for the bronze medal!! ❤❤❤🔥🔥
You're not alone brother. I cried in one of Jesse's videos before. It was about an Okinawan female instructor that had to prove herself to be like the rest of these men to gain respect in karate. For independent Jesse's videos are top notch.
Jessie will always have that Karate snap in his moves and techniques, no matter what form of martial arts it is. 🍻♥️
If i may add, kime in Japanese and fa jin in Chinese (mandarin), i believe that's one of the most important reasons that he got a good score, obviously that's what differentiates an MA form from a dance performance.
Man, this is inspirational for everything. With focus mind, high effort, never get back, we can reach our goals. Excellent!!
Bro, just discovered your channel and can say you're amazing! Best of luck in all of your future adventures!
Lei Wulong in the Tekken series was inspired by Jackie. Same as many fighting game characters, so Jackie Chan’s influence doesn’t stop at movies.
Most definitely! 👊
dude's a combo of jackie chan's cop movies and his drunken master films, yeah
Jesse really did a full master Roshi and went into full disguise 😂
Now if only he could power up like Master Roshi and get the physique that would beat any Mr. Olympia contestant. 😲
This was really great to see how an open and adaptive mindset can let someone who has trained for decades in one method of fighting can adjust to a very different style. And it’s a great illustration of how some kung fu styles are at the root of a lot of karate. The strikes were particularly good examples of this. I also wonder if the strength training techniques contributed to the shoulder injury. Hope your healing well Jessie!
Jesse, I love all of the work you put into these videos! Proud to be a fan, and grateful that I stumbled upon your videos. You and your brother are good dudes, and it shows in the way you conduct yourselves. 🙏 🥋
Thanks Joshua!!
his last words in this video teared me up. i love this guy's passion and work ethic. he is a treasure to the martial arts.
Same here. Very inspiring.
Jesse congrats on 500k subs! You deserve it 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks 🙏
I'm just new to following this channel and I loved this video. So inspiring and motivational that I think it's time to dig out the old karate gi and start training again after 35 years 😊
That's amazing! Always inspiring with your videos🙌🏻🥋
Your ability to learn something new is incredible. Amazing job Jesse!💪🏻🍾😵
Without being disrespectful to Jesse's skill.. having *a good* sensei/shifu is one of the milestone of that.
Jesse, this has to be my favourite video that you have made. First of all, huge congratulations for your third position, just goes to show what you can achieve, and secondly thanks for recreating my all time favourite kung fu style. I'm gonna dig my Jackie chan dvd out and give it a watch. 😂
Haha my pleasure!
DVDS! I still have the videos! I remember doing those wrist flip push up things back in the early 80s. i did them on the street not on grass! Ah the good old days. Where did the time go.
Your one week training is amazing... That make me strong and it clear my confusion for my life. Thank yo so much Jesse Sir!
Great to hear!
Fantastic! You're such an inspiration! Always great work ethic, always giving your best and never quitting. Thanks for the great content.
Wow, this is truly inspiring to me. I haven't practiced martial arts since I was in high school. After watching this video I shall go back to the arts. While this style might look "easy" it has its own techniques and it's quite more complex than it seems. But it will be a great training for someone that hasn't been training nor working out in years plus it looks funny as well.
I'm definitely going to give it another go round myself too.
I hope you did go back Samuel
Interesting watching this, could definitely see karate elements in your performance. Guess they hard to remove entirely but congrats on the score and immense training. I should have done this when I was younger also.
His "snappy" way of preforming really shines through
Loved that routine at the end, the double kip-up gave me goosebumps.
This, was amazing. Thank you for sharing your journey.
"Go out there and make your younger self proud" is possibly the most inspirational thing anyone can ever say. Kudos!
Great video Jesse Sensei! It’s fun watching you train and put your heart and soul into what you do. You are a definite inspiration to us all that study. Keep up the great work!
I'm literaly amazed by your performance. We have the same dream to be recognize by Jackie Chan, I hope he can see this video to know how hard you worked for it and made Jackie chan as your inspiration. Would glad to see another video with you and Jackie chan work out together.
Jesse I really love your videos. You have open my eyes to many more styles . And your humble nature is what true martial arts is about.
Outstanding! That takes determination. Jackie spent ten years as a youngster in the Chinese opera, known for its intense brutal regimen. Thank you, cheers
1:30 if anybody is interested in how to perform this move but is still struggling, here's my two cents: always land on your tiptoes and try to keep your back curve (sorry guys, I dont't know if that last sentence is correct, I don't speak english), trying to land on your feet with your body in a flat position will stop you from standing up. Great video as always, Jesse!
Nice Jesse, very impressive for only one week of training in that form! I have karate and kungfu background as well, haven't trained martial arts in years because of depression. Got to say though, your video really inspired me, keep up the good work you're doing and congratulation for your bronze!
Jesse’s video are excellent…this one is another gem….hilarious yet also highly informative
This was amazing!! Congratulations Jesse! I'm sure Jackie would be proud of you! Even a humble subscriber like me is super proud of you!
I love your attitude and humility, very inspiring! Always a treat watching and listening to you Jesse, thank you.
Gotta Love Jackie Chan! Forever - that was so much fun to watch and the Respect you pay to Jackie is obviously straight from your heart - many thanks for this - you really put a ton of effort and dedication into this project - most excellent
Wow Jesse, that's amazing! Great to see that the skill of a great martial artist transfers well across so many disciplines.
It is not just the commitment, the dedication, the hard work and passion of this young man towards his art but the humility and openness in sharing it with the rest of the world. You're an inspiration. Thank you for your every lesson and moment you spend with us.
This video was so awesome and inspiring, it instantly motivated me to keep up with everything in life. Not just with my karatedo, but also with my day-to-day struggles. "Everything is possible." Thank you Jesse Sensei for this valuable lesson. I promise I will take this to heart, and continue improving and being my best self. Oss!
Congrats man ! Your face after you got that bronze medal says it all, your happyness is contagious !
I'm off to watch Drunken Master now 😂 great work, very motivating!
Damn Jesse you nailed the moves in such a short period of time! Jackie would be proud of you and happy that he has inspired so many people worldwide. Hoped you've recovered well from your injury and you just earned a sub in me :)
Is that guy jesse chan!!!😁😁great video sensei . Like how you try everything. Next time try pencak silat
Your smile is amazing
Man!!! This is insane, I’m so happy for you Grate job👏
Jesse, I love your positive attitude, and this particular video really makes it shine. I continue to enjoy your variety of pursuits!
He would be super proud and keep up the great work Jesse. You are on a legendary course with the martial arts. Keep at it Champ!
The defined and powerful strikes from Karate combine with Drunken boxing looked so cool and powerful.
Jesse's videos keep getting better and better. It's always awesome to see martial artists learn other forms of combat arts.
That's was incredible, and you learned it so well like a pro.
Your content is always entertaining, you help me appreciate/discover the beauty of martial arts, thank you. I wanna try drunken fist but idk how lol.
Hey Jesse, I just got motivated by your video as I injured my shoulder while sparring last week and I still cant lift my arm properly like you... luckily my shoulder wasn't dislocated.. The thing is I was training so hard for my 1st Dan Black in this September and I was so despaired when I was injured.. But as you said, "Injuries are not obstacles.. It's an opportunity"... I'll do it no matter what... You were one of my favourite since i was a beginner... Osu!
Hey Jesse, watching your videos and the behind the scenes of a training session is really cool. I also learned that just like in this video at the high level you will see that people have many injuries that we don't see. Same for Oliver his journey training for his MMA fights. Personally I don't do karate although I love it, but sadly I had my Blue belt for Kempo cancelled because of an injury. Training is still mostly on hold but it is getting better. Very happy for you that you managed to participate and even got a great score.
Excelente!!! Hey mate, I really enjoy your videos. Tks a lot 🙏
Amazing video, man! Congrats.
MY MAN! You did a great job. Your martial training is beyond Karate now that you took this journey into the Drunken discipline of Kung Fu. Proud of you, brother!
WoW. Every comment in here spoke my thoughts on how inspiring you are Jesse . Jackie Chan was one of my favorite martial artist growing up in the 80's besides Bruce Lee of course . But Jackie's take on the Martial Arts was and still is inspiring in my life. You my friend did an amazing job in learning those moves and making them your own. At 52 and getting hit with Covid in the lungs and being in the hospital for a week , and at home with an oxygen machine 24hrs a day for 3 months , This past January and now 100 percent back working and teaching again , I truly give my recovery first to God's grace on me 2nd to my continued practice of the martial arts as an exercise in my life. I've been following you for roughly 3 years and I've learned so much from your experiences . Much Blessing now and in your future my Dojo Brother. Osss.
Welcome back!
Jeese you did a awesome job, bro!!! You're a true martial artist!!!
You absolutely killed this! Props for pushing through at the end! Also what?! The tournament location is my old school, had me graduation in the same building and all. It being only a few blocks from where I live to this day!
This is some of the best content on KZhead. I’m not even a martial artist and the video is so compelling. Nobody else I watch is putting themself out there like this. Good for you! 👏👏👏
You’re too kind! 🙏🌟🥰
In the beginning, I thought it was like Oliver taking over your kata class!😁 You reallly "throw" yourself into training don't you?😂 Mad respect for working through the pain! You are a lethal weapon, drunk or not!🍺
Wonderful to watch! What a great performance. Riktigt fint gjort! 🇸🇪 ☺️🙏🏻
Ahhhhh this made me emotional💖 Practice for 1 year you'll get even better for sure
That was brilliant , as an ex martial artiest and true fan of Jackie and HKA myself you done a amazing job. True Martial arts stems from the mind body and soul combined , you defiantly achieved it here. JC would defiantly be proud, Well done.
I also had that shoulder pain once or twice, it happens when you land/brace with your shoulder as you fall and the impact stretches the muscle/tendons.. very painful, feels like you dislocated it.
Those falling exercises were advanced techniques, i know them from judo. Judo takes great time to learn how to be thrown, to avoid such injuries while exercising throws with a judo partner. Falling from height is considered advanced, falling forward is often more difficult than side or backward. Placement of arm and shoulder is important, in judo roling or claping on the ground is used to get rid off the energy from falling. I know Jesse is advanced practitioner of martial arts, but new techniques can always have some quirks that need time to learn. Good luck!
Wow Jesse, you are amazing! Congratulations and thank you for this video.
Wow it was so cool to see it broken down and even the stories for the movements, Jesse did damn good for his first time, he has done other training too but even so well done. I think Jackie Chan would be happy and proud to see this video and that he still inspires people.
Whau!!! Great!!!! In fact, the bronze isn´t the important thing (of course, it´s great that you won it), but the experience is what really matters! Congratullations! Is it going to be another video with Sifu explaining those movement meanings? Looks really interesting!
I love how your always trying new things, ( so I don't have to LOL) but also to see other perspectives of different things. You're such an inspiration! Also congrats on 3rd! Hope your shoulder is better!
Yes Jesse Jackie is very proud of you ! Love your vids!
Your kungfu looks awesome, I can't believe you achieve such performance in 7 days, it's just phenomenal!
Great Video as Usual Jesse, amazing job with drunken style for just 7 days prep!! A little stiff, but man impressive for time spent, but you have Martial Arts in your DNA! 👍🏼👍🏼
Omggg Jesse doing Wushu! that’s so coool!!!
Your martial arts is really good bro. The fact you do kata so good I had no doubt you could do this.
I subscribed for your hard work awesome work man!
thanks for the kung fu and martial arts knowledge Jesse!
Fantastic. I’d love to learn that pattern. That you could do it so well after one week shows how wonderfully trained you are.
