We need the part 2
yes (believe in reincarnation or not i was a Shaolin)
My round body is awaiting for part 2!
Always..!!!
Bring it on Jesse San!
"We feel pain. It's just that the relationship to this pain becomes different." Yknow those moments in life when something clicks? Hearing this is one of those for me.
Same here. That answer really stuck in my mind.
No it's not pain. It's fun, this guy gets to travel and experience different cultures. I'd rather have that than 9 to 5 paycheck to paycheck. Thats life worth living.
@@ryneagheilim9782 all the hardship through training and other things, it’s not just that.
perfect, now go punch a tree with one hand until the bark is removed with your fist
Pain is common for the legends. I understand because I do at least 1/10 of them.
I could listen to him talk for weeks. Actual applied wisdom, not just empty words. We need more of this.
facts
I listen to him every morning while dressing up for work. His wisdom helps me. And I have been brainwashing my own brain with his teaching
@@irmaretnaa Oh my, I didn't even take the time to check for his YT channel last time. Took a look after your comment and indeed, he's got hours and hours of conversations. Can't thank you enough for that!
Because most masters aren’t masters. That’s why.
why because he talks with broken english and an accent??? he just has limitations in expressing himself and you confuse that with wisdom ...
This master dropped some lines that actually made me think about life in a different way
For real man!

He knows the _principle of inertia_ 😇
Indeed😮
We live in a society that has not learned to let go… that hit me in the feels somehow.
Study the Buddha way and you will understand the transient, impermanent nature of everything. Once you understand this, there is nothing to cling to. All the best.
How do you see a society that HAS learned to let go, going? It feels like society checked out years ago. You must be pretty blessed to be so oblivious.
Indeed, we are a society that consumes and wants more.
🤓
@@AntonGullyyou're missing the whole entire point.
I survived 1 month waiting for a new Jesse Enkamp video! Lol
😂🙏
(Barely)
I was crying at night waiting for a new video lol, finally the masterpiece is here!
I only managed to survive a month without Jesse Enkamp videos by watching Sensei Seth videos. When are you going to train with a shaolin master, @Sensei Seth?
@@misterkami2 he might would have to go to the NY monastery assuming it's still there.
I love how in nearly every sentence this guy speaks he is considerate about his own limited knowledge, and makes sure to convey these limits along with the gems of knowledge he provides. What an awesome guy
The definition of a master!

I am in awe of Shi Heng Yi his horse stance structure is next level and his explanation in english is such a great privilege.
The Master's way of speaking and articulating, the way he pauses to think before speaking, and his overall wisdom are amazing to watch.
never fills his pauses with "ummmmm" and even when he pauses it seems only for a brief moment, a true master in many ways
I studied Northern Shaolin when I was a kid and then dedicated all of my time to boxing. The structural foundation you build, kinesthetic awareness, and ability to put all of your body weight behind a punch are beyond valuable. So helpful with hooks and crosses. This made me nostalgic. I want to start training kung fu again hahaha.
i wish some one would vlog the process and teach it on yt hint hint
@@420DOTcom7 I could but I need some money to focus on that lmao
@@420DOTcom7 Matthew Polly dropped out of Harvard and went to the Shaolin temple and wrote a book about it. Check it out
@YhaoKhan, I don't understand, why you would stop training that which is the foundation of your boxing? Let me guess, you pussied out of it because training boxing and Kung Fu, it was too much for you. Imagine the level of both if you'd pushed on through the wall? Dude, that's what Kung Fu and boxing are all about. Have you ever heard of the term "Use it or lose it"? Now you have to start all over again! Whatever you decide to do, I wish you all the luck in the Grand Universe😋
You could definitely crossover into sanda/sanshou
He is well spoken, love the fact he does not hide what he wants to tell you. I spent years unraveling the hidden meanings from my instructor. In a way this was his way of seeing how dedicated you are and also passing along the tradition. You are very fortunate to meet this master, that is willing to share.
I WISH I COULD HAVE HAD ONE CLASS/TRANSMISSION _EVEN AS AN AMATEUR_ LIKE THIS ONE WITH HIM! THAT IS A REAL HONOR!
I met him, Shi Heng Hi, in the last Shaolin European Games. I was going to wear my uniform to compete and he was right there and I was like “oh sh*t I wasn’t prepared for this” 😂 I’m a super fan since many years. He smiled at me and the only thing I could do was bowing and saluting with the Amituofo🙏 He reminds me of Bruce Lee, the facial expressions, body language and charisma. Looking at him doing his kungfu with my eyes was really exciting, something different! So powerful! 🔥
He kinda sounds like Bruce Lee when he speaks aswell :)
@@SuperLapplander yeah! :) ok, so im not the only one ahahah
Shi Hung Yi seems like a good teacher. I like how he explains the biomechanics of stances and rooting where many others would explain away this skill with Kungfu buzzwords like qi or fa jin. That’s very important to pedagogy since learning something requires the student to first see that is possible.
Like Einstein once said, "If you can't explain it to a six-year-old, you don't understand it yourself." 👍
True, using precise common language description instead of TCM words . Far far better effect
Hi ramsey 😆😆😆 I enjoy this duo, Ramsey and Jesse. 🌟🌟
They are not kung-fu "buzzwords", they are real conceptual frameworks with extreme depth that just gets hollowed out when Westerners start defining these systems according to their own framework, not understanding that they are colonizing alternative knowledge forms and imposing their own western understanding onto these frameworks which have their own completely different way of looking at things. In this way, the "real thing" the "real idea of kung fu" gets destroyed and distorted. Thanks!
😁 glad you could join mr dewey I love your videos
Much respect to you Jesse for throwing yourself wholeheartedly into this! Watching this at 8am while drinking my morning coffee!☕
Good morning! Enjoy ☕️
You are alive? And...and you do karate? How?
@@insalubriousdithyramb1742 😅😂
The way he speaks of redeveloping the relationship with pain was the single most inspirational thing I’ve heard in a very long time.
The patience and kindness--the compassion--of this Master is phenomenal.
I loved that opening conversation, "In order to create something new on you, you have togetvrid of some old stuff." You have to create space for change, removing old training methods, conversations, behaviors in all walks of life to facilitate something new. Not just martial arts, all walks of life. Again, absolutely amazing video Jesse-san. And congratulations 😉
I trained in traditional Japanese Ju Jitsu for 13 years, my instructor was very much like this. Unfortunately he passed away 3 years ago and I miss him dearly. You are very fortunate to have time with this man and respect for allowing your mind to be open even if it means challenging what you thought you knew. Respect.
If you don't mind me asking, where did you train?
@@kelgbrown007 Shhhhh....
Meanwhile, I was submitting JJJ's left and right not even trying while not even a blue belt in BJJ.
Hi Kevin where did you train if you don't mind me asking?
@@malchir4036🙄
Dude, this video really hit me personally and is nostalgic. I’ve been at this place in Germany 10 years ago twice, training for one week each. It was the hardest training I’ve EVER experience. And really happy Sifu is still there. I have pictures with him and demonstrations from 10 years ago. Looking at this video really shows me, what real mastery means. Thanks Jesse for sharing, pumped for part 2!
Is it possible to go live and train there? And are you still not allowed to talk the first year? I'd gladly give up what earthly possessions i have left to go live there or somewhere similiar.
@@chrisk3097 all fighting STANCE OF KUNGFU r borrowed from the famous INDIAN MARTIAL ART ( AS well as HEALING TECHNIQUE) called. KALARIPAYATHU
@@UPAKHOSALA How do u know that? Can u show me some evidence? Cuz many Kung Fu styles has nothing to do with Shaolin.
Ah that makes sense, I was thinking he had a German accent. Great video!
@@UPAKHOSALA Ah, so the Chinese improved on the Indians? A tale as old as time I suppose.
I've trained for 20 years plus is various martial arts, thought I was at a good level. After watching this, feeling extremely humbled, but with a new desire to learn. Thank you and Master Shi Heng Yi.
Shi heng yi was a game changer for me a couple years ago. It always excites me to see other people/youtubers interact with him
Wonderful!!
I studied Kung Fu for years. It completely changed me, physically and mentally. I've always hoped one day it would be understood properly. I'm really looking forward to the rest of these videos.
This is nearly word for word the instruction I received from an Okinawan karate teacher from Okinawa. This stuff survives in some lineages of Karate.
What a great video. Head master Shi Heng Yi has a very powerful presence about him without being forceful or threatening
I'm always impressed by how open and unassuming you continue to approach other teachers and styles. Instead of trying to show people your own knowledge, you listen and learn. It shows courage to do that. I loved this video; Master Shi Heng Yi really shows genuine skill and experience in transferring technique into application. He's very patient and sounds like a great teacher
Now there is a Master that understands practical application of what he teaches. To my uneducated eye he would definitely not be a pushover in a real fight, like those " fake" masters that are all over internet being beaten to a pulp by MMA fighters.
@@palmarolavlklingholm9684 Jon Jones would poke him in the eye and smash him, just like any other man. This is just a fact. There are levels to this sh*t :)
I've been there at the Shaolin Temple Europe for one week (Monastery on Time), a few years back and I can only say this; "this experience was something different". To me, Sifu Shi Heng Yi is an awe-inspiring, humble and incredible teacher. Thank you for sharing your experience(s)!
I loved your sincere responds to being taught - very powerful and emotional, let's all keep learning!!!! great videos Jesse
I find myself going back to Jessie's videos multiple times to extract the full essence of them. This guys channel is a must watch not just for martial arts but life!. What makes Jessie Great is that he is eager to always learn because he is truely humble and he is very respectful and polite and so people give him information some people would never get. You are a star Jessie i hope you continue this epic journey for many more years to come. 🙏
The skill, the mastery, the self discipline is a total inspiration. I love this man ❤️
He would slaughter in MMA. :)
Sarah skylark I will make you Manish and majumder
The alignment of heart, mind, body, and soul. I love martial arts, and this channel. God Bless You Jesse.
Deep bow 🙏
He is the master for a reason. His teachings are precious . 🙏🏻
what a brilliant teacher, i’m kind of blown away, that’s real energy, he is true Sifu
I'm having goosebumps listening to the master. Thank you for sharing, Jesse! Much respect and appreciation for your channel🤙
Excellent!!
This is perhaps best explanation of Chinese martial arts philosophy I've seen, grounded in reality and yet profound
The structure tips were priceless. I trained for years. I never learned those tips
Wonderful!
Love this so much 🙏💗 Absolutely power ! Can’t wait to be there next year 🔥🔥🔥
Wow this Shaolin monk knows his stuff. You can tell he has studied really well. I’ve done karate 25 years. Teach it for a living. But it was amazing how he broke down every position.
Yes he is dumb dumb. Do your research.
@@maxm5810 go on.. what do you think he is?
@@maxm5810 I understand. First of all: He is a Shaolin Monk. So you know nothing about him and his entire life. Second: Even if he's not raised in an ancient shaolin temple, his fundamental and deep knowledge about material arts and also his powerful wise mindset, makes him an extraoedinary human being. And last, but not least: It would be very unlogical and also very stupid, if he would teaching and helping others just for free. All he is doing is helping others. These are the facts which you don't like because you are not happy because your life is like a shadow. Only you can change that and if you want, with the help of people like him. All the best for you!
@@maxm5810 Then can you point me to a real Shaolin Monk and How you know he isnt one?
Sensei I will make you Manish and majumder
You’re a good sport, Jesse Sensei! Thanks for sharing your journey! 🙏🏻
Thanks for chiming in Sensei Ando! 🙏
My two favorite videos. I could see the emotional "eye-opening" you received when he was talking about the difference in the horse stance. I'm inspired in many ways from your interview. Thank you.❤
It’s not about making yourself a weapon. It’s about chipping away the imperfections until your come close to awareness of the complete self.
It’s really cool that he not only explains his perspective and knowledge, but showed you how to apply it to what you do. I’ve done a horse stance for over 20 years and learned some fantastic details from this video. Thanks!
There's a new Jesse Enkamp video HYPE. I love seeing you explore and learn from other martial arts like this. It was a fun video to watch. Thank you.
I appreciate that! :)
It's worderfull how empathetic and kind the master is. It's for me the true mature of a great man.
This is amazing content! Glad i found it. Thank you!
He's not just a Kung-fu master. He has alot of great videos just chatting about things he's a great man. 💙
I appreciate that jesse is not scared to explore different martial arts and has inspired me to take on karate in the future!
Your channel is awesume!!!! Love all the work and effort you do😍😍🔥
That phrase of yours at the almost end of the video, saying to your camera man: " Not now - no ..." Shows how grateful you have become by absorbing knowledge. Great as always Mr Enkamp , keep up the good work.
This is fascinating! can't wait to see part 2. I've studied Okinawan Karate in the past & am studying Tai Chi with serious roots in Shaolin currently & this really hits home.
As a practitioner of Enshin Karate as well as Taiji chuan and Bagua zhang, I am very happy for you and your interest and new insight. I am a fellow nerd with 40 years practice, and I also do my best to remain open to new lessons. I have enjoyed your videos and travels immensely and look forward to part 2 of this series. Thanks, be well.
Listening to the master talk about tearing down the old to make new again, destruction, their relationship to pain; that section almost brought me to tears, just the wisdom of his words and teachings and deep understanding of the martial arts was beautiful. As a long time student of a Japanese martial art that a large section of it comes straight from China, a lot of what he was saying makes perfect sense to me. I enjoyed this video more so than any of your other videos I've seen thus far. The other one that comes close was when you trained in full yoroi armor with Dr Kacem Zoughari.
This was really valuable. Massive thank you to sifu Shi Heng Yi for sharing this wisdom.
Feels like i'm becoming wiser just by listening to the master😅
All these information Jesse gives to us. His travels, trainings and learnings. Thank you very much, this is amazing. I hope you enjoy this adventure a lot!
This is pure gold here! Thank you so much! One of the most important martial arts related video on YT. Thats why I like Shaolin Masters so much. They can teach u life, not just forms.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was amazing to watch, such philosophy to match and the knowledge was mesmerizing. Loved it !
It's incredible and humbling to watch you both learn and grow together, been a huge fan of Shi Heng Yi for a year now and for the past month and a half I've had the pleasure of discovering your channel Jesse. I'm stoked to see all that comes from your time working with this Master and encourage you to utilize and channel more of this internal, kinetic soul energy through your physical exercises - it brought so much depth and 2nd-nature foundation to the last practice in this video.
Thanks and welcome!
@@KARATEbyJesse Jag måste säga att du och Rokas (från Martial arts Journey) är dom viktigaste kampsportarna i modern tid. Jag visste, men många andra, visste inte om att Shaolin Kung fus stil är funktionell. Syftar på tidspunkten från 06:20 framåt. Att ni åker runt och testar på olika kampsporter och pratar om filosofierna är jävligt intressant. Det är som mer seriösa versioner av Rallarsving, om du minns det när det gick på Z TV? 😂 Tack för ditt arbete!
Shi Heng Yi also has quite a good educational background. He even came to TedTalk. Love him and you Jesse! Thank you for always bringing wonderful contents! Would love to see a full video or even a movie about Shi Heng Yi and you! 🤜🏻
I’ve loved all your videos, but this one is truly special. Well done.
Jesse: As an older martial artist who studies shotokan and shorin ryu, i really like the explanation here. Particularly the circular movements sir. The rooting which your teacher describers makes perfect sense from a karate standpoint. Thanks.
@@ole01 _ALL_ karate was born from white-crane kung-fu!
@@dancarter482 check my shorts video, you ll find something there. I dont know if that kind of karate is something in shi hengs abilities. At least he never learned the shaolin kung fu. At least not in an official monastery, yet he told people he did and that he trains in official matter. After a warning and a law process against them (its a group), they stopped, after years after the scandal he now is more present than ever (in germany it was a big shaolin scandal, being in the newspaper and so on). He doesnt practice shaolin like shaolin masters do and is not near the level of a shaolin. Please dont let this man destroy buddhism. Inform yourself! I suggest everyone to read „shaolin the bodhi path of bodhidharma“ you can google his and read what real shaolin is about. Amithaba 🙏
The exercise where you condition your forearms is called kat sam sing or 3 crossed stars. I like master Master Shi Heng Yi. Not just his technical aspects but his expounding of Shaolin precepts and philosophy. Kung fu is a away of life. Chinese culture is thousands of years old and that is reflected in their martial arts. I am happy than you are investigating this art as it will bring a lot of fulfillment and spirituality.
Thanks for chiming in 🙏
Yes I learned the same method from Dragon style kung fu and baguaquan although the former was much harder hitting and you had to use dit da jow for the bruising. Dragon style called it Three Star Hitting. My baguaquan teacher never named it, just made us practice along with stepping in a square pattern. Dragon style also had a similar conditioning exercise for the lower legs.
@@oldtyger Reminds me of the good times researching dit da jow.
I *cannot* get over, not just the mastery of energy, movement and the martial, but his mastery of the English language, for a non-native speaker, especially his vocabulary, is *ASTONISHINGLY* good. For native speakers, it’s so easy to brush aside and overlook. But it should not be so, for I have the *greatest* respect for any non-native speaker who speaks & understands even a little, much less attains the peak of communication skills. Amazing.
Dude, you just moved up in my eyes. I love you for this. The whole video is just pure gold.
I am absolutely stoked to here him describe the process and the purpose. Started studying Oriental martial arts & philosophy when I was 12. Retired now. Have known and studied with amazing teacher Shi Heng Yi Not the first time I have heard him. But this is the essence of the Way. -Matt’s dad
Super wise master. The work on the structure shown at the end is also practiced in KDS (karate do shotokai) as teached by Harada sensei. You should check on the Finnish group not far from Sweden !
Thank you very much! Absolutely priceless!
I love the part about letting things go instead of trying to acquire things, he's a wise man 🙏
My deepest and greatest respect to the Shaolin Master, I have already seen German videos with him and am really impressed by the depth and wisdom of his words. How wonderful and philosophical the explanations and answers to each question are. Thanks for that 🙏🏻🦋❤️
Thank you for this treat. Seeing a Shaolin Master practice is something extraordinary!
It really is!
I love this man. Even through a video he made me feel calm. True gem in this world
Love it Jesse. As a kung fu teacher with many friends in karate, it's wonderful to see your experiences with this.
I love the Master, so humble, so smart and such a wonderful person ❤
When he said this world does not teach us how to let go of things I legit started crying 😭. The truest thing I've seen on youtube
OK, This is freaking Awesome. I like how he explains and talks about the invisible side of martial arts, the same way Rickson Gracie talks about Invisible Jiu Jitsu. It's the changes that don't look much or even any different, yet FEEL! Completely different. Did you all see that mans hands? From his Iron fist training, They are huge especially around the palm and backhand, almost looking swollen.
his forearms (in other vids) look like knotted rope.
Shi Heng Yi is a master that carries so much wisdom! A true pioneer in the ways of both literature and martial arts!
dudes body is full of it. honed to its physical peak, brain is filled with wisdom, and his spirituality emanates like a shining gemstone. he knows.
Amazing how smooth he is, both in thought and movement.
This started as just another shallow Discovery channel overview and got rather profound towards the end. Kudos to you, Jesse, for including that part and translating the confusion of a pupil who struggles with the information a bit 👍 As an internal style practitioner, for me styles like Shaolin and GoJiuRyu are on the opposite, most external side of the traditional kung fu spectrum. So it's always fascinating to hear the masters of these schools explain internal mechanics in a way that is rather similar to our own.
This is a really good master! He thoroughly understands the meaning of making the mind, body and spirit one. I love this episode!
Even his words have so much gravitas that can inspire me in several fields of life. Absolutely gem of a person 🙏
Love your videos. Fun and informative. Great to see more than the fighting and self defence aspects - mindfulness, temperament, integration etc that exists in the spectrum of martial arts.
Thanks for watching!
Your ability to show humility and respect, with a great spirit is infectious. Dang, that stance thing gives an existential crisis man.... it makes sense though, we are connected to the earth, nothing is behind us, there is only below. We can let force curl downward like a wave. That moment you experienced after is uncomfortable, but critical. A piece of you was given up, and something blossomed in its absence.
"Not always known, not always taught." No truer words have ever been said about the real good stuff in any discipline of martial arts.
This gave me a whole new meaning of a master he is articulating everything so clear the explanation can be understood by someone who doesn’t know anything
This was an amazing video. He's right that these things aren't taught often. I've studied a lot of different martials arts over the years and this blew my mind. He is truly a master.
Finally, a video from you Sensei Jesse that touches me! I am a student of JKA Karate and have watched many of your videos. Sifu's art is beautiful, elegant and strangely quiet. I would have LOVED to become a student of his. (I am South African so not much chance of that happening.) The moment that touched me was when you said "not now...". Clearly, time to reevaluate what you have been doing all these years. I feel the same, what have I been doing all these years? I can tell you one thing though, when I go to dojo later today, my attitude will be different. Much respect!
His name is Shi Heng Yi and Sifu is his title as the head master or am I mistaken ?
That data about the rooting at horse stance is a real gamechanging one. I'm going to practice roundly as he said. Thank you so much for sharing this pearl, Jesse Sensei 🙏
I was quite surprised by Shaolin ma bu. The method of tucking in the tail bone/pelvis and rounding the back/sinking the chest, dropping the elbows, relaxing the muscles is exactly the method of most Chinese internal martial arts. My baguaquan lineage is a bit odd because it kinda does some opposite things with spinal alignment but strangely achieves the same type of results. This is the basic principle of neijia rooting although there are more advanced concepts once you get this down. Fascinating video!
@@oldtyger yes this Sifu seems to practise a very internal Shaolin! I was surprised as well. Which lineage of Bagua do you practise, if I may ask?
@@LouisAzevedo I have studied several different lineages but invested most of my time in Gong Baozhai lineage, a branch of Yin Fu lineage--I have met 3 disciples of Gong Baozhai. I was fortunate to have met with He Jinbao who comes from a different Yin Fu lineage, very different but also interesting, especially the systemization of animal systems and short 2-person application forms. I learned a little Gao style as well but very minimal. Baguaquan/baguazhang requires a lot of eating bitter, compared to most taijiquan. Additionally I have been trying to incorporate some of the late Zhang Luping's baguazhang principles into my baguaquan. I do not know who his bagua teachers were--he had many many teachers. I have found his idea of spiraling everywhere fascinating and am trying to integrate that with my Southern Wu style concept of yi and qi.
@@LouisAzevedo External or Internal Kung Fu is just a denomination for the approach of the teachings, but all the styles have internal and external aspects. If someone is only learning external or internal they are missing part of the art.
It's really sad that we are losing people like him
I could learn a lot from this master; what a true legend
I truly feel lucky to have a glimpse at such a historical martial art and life style, it seems like stepping back in time and receiving wisdom from the past.
Hi Jesse, thank you for this extraordinary video. Looking forward to the next part! You are and will always be a reference for me, not only as a karate-ka, but also as a person! Hug 🙏🥋
The Taint Uppercut is by far the best move Jesse has ever learned. Nothing comes close.
Unreal wisdom about how the art impacts the human being in totallity. Love it!
I think what I appreciate most in your videos is the humility with which you approach everything and everyone. A great student becomes a great teacher and vice versa.
Having studied Shaolin Kung Fu as well I have the feeling most trainings today are just a small aspect of a much bigger thing. My teacher told me (I was about 20 years back then) I should start practising Qi Gong, meditation or at least Taiji because otherwise my body and mind would become hard and stiff which would lead to injuries. I hated it but of course trusted him and started practising Taiji in his classes. About two years later I realised how much Kung Fu improved due to the extremely high quality of movement and mental work you do in Qi Gong and Taiji. Now about half a year ago I started training Shotokan Karate - and I immediately realised the basic principles of course are the same. You might not focus on circular movements in the beginning, but if you watch closely you can see the continuous character of movement when grand masters demonstrate, perform and teach. It all comes down to "practise the whole thing". Phantastic video, thank you for sharing!
I think your videos are beautiful, great combination of curiousness, respect and yet good camera work and story!
The master is so good. He explains it so well and so beautifully. He has also conquered a mastery, persuasive speech style.
I had a master here in Italy who shows every day these exact concepts and much more. Taichi Chen. What a beautiful gift to find masters who really know such differences. I feel lucky for this because I practiced for 10 years and I saw many talking about taichi and not knowing anything of the real energy. Many times you can hear people talking about qi, energy, in such way that it seems something magical. It is not, it is structure, training, a lot of training. There's no energy without lot of work with the right directions
Enlightening.. thanks for sharing your experiences with us, Sensei! 🙏🏻
Thank you Mr. Monk and of course Jay as always too
