    • Yeah, he did really good for his first time, especially when fighting a guy who had like 13 fights. That's not the caliber of opponent the vast majority of first timers would take on. My first mma fight was against a guy with 2 amateur fights. Props to Jesse for going big right out the gate. I wouldn't have taken a fight against someone that much more experienced than I. Jesse doesn't lack courage, I can say that. I hope he fights again. Maybe he can come train with you, Ramsey.

Your opponnet did not punch you too much, but it could perfectly have been the scenario, and if he was very experienced in that it could have been very painful. This is so brave. Also your opponent looked super muscled up, very strong.

Now, I am healthier, more energetic, lost at least 30 pounds of weight, my flexibility is much better, and my overall fitness is way overall better! Plus I have gained some real technique - open hand and with Kobudo weapons.

  • Congratulations, Jesse. The courage you showed by entering the MMA arena with so little training shows that you were one of those whom U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt spoke long ago on April 23, 1910 in a speech at the Sorbonne in Paris popularly known as "The Man In The Arena". It goes like this and in my opinion it describes Jesse Encamp: THE MAN IN THE ARENA "It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done it better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid should who neither know victory or defeat."

    • That's a great quote. Teddy Roosevelt was awesome. He also boxed and sparred almost every week in the White House itself, and indeed he practiced Ju Jitsu, Judo and other martial arts, which he very much enjoyed. He spoke and wrote about the character-developing utilities of martial arts and of physical combat, as well as the exertion involved therein.

  • Hey Jesse. This was incredibly enlightening for me. I'm going to be fighting my first MMA fight June 20th. Fortunately I have had a lot more than 30 days to prepare myself for the grappling and even found a renewed sense of wonder and discovery through the exploration of it. As another karate practitioner looking to test my skills against other types of fighters this gave me much food for thought. Update: It looks like I'm not going to be able to fight June 20th after all. I got to go to court to settle a property dispute that may well end up with my family and I getting evicted. I did sustain a minor rib injury as well but nothing I couldn't push through if that was the only thing going on in my life. And it wasn't looking too promising because Petey Vital, my coach was still waiting to hear from the promotion if they even found a suitable opponent. I'm pretty bummed out but I've been a lifelong martial artist so I am used to life changing my path and I keep walking it, to whatever end. I am obviously disappointed though.

  • Im really impressed with this. Imagine if you had more time for your takedown defense training, you would've been able to use ur karate much more. Also considering the fact that your opponent was much more experienced and more aggressive (due to the fact that he is trying to make a career out of mma) yet u were able to still perform that well is blowing my mind. This video greatly visualizes how the studying of your takedown defense as well as little bit of grappling can help you transition and use Karate in MMA. Really impressed. I just imagine what would happen if you had more time training the defense and more experience.

I think you did well and will take away a perspective and understanding that can improve your art overall, sometimes the real win is what you gain from an experience. Hope your healing up well.

  • Super impressive Jesse. I know you had an earlier MMA experience but it's fun having this one on video. Honestly I think your Karate skills were tested and they held up as being legit. As you talked about grappling is just such a different world, different strategy, different conditioning, different movements. So it's a lot to try to counter grappling which isn't the primary focus of Karate. Just getting in there takes a ton of cajones.
