      Definitely! If we don't learn from the past, we can't understand the present or prepare for the future :-)

    How strange to see you arriving in Naha, stopping in Asahi Bashi, going to Asato Dojo and train with James, just like I did a week ago. Still in Naha for a week so I hope you will release episode 2 before I leave : I have so many things to learn from you and i 'd like to benefit from your "tips" ! ^^ With all my respect for your incredible work and pedagogy, Olivier (France/Belgium).

    Who are the last two isshin Ryu masters in Okinawa ? Saw an article in passing on FB but can't find it now.

    The fact that you wear the white belt makes you honor and I believe it is also in the right spirit of our art. I respect you very much. and I hope many Westerners learn from you. I am a 46-year-old beginner, but I hope to continue on the road to karate for a long time. Because I fell in love with this discipline and I hope to learn also the kobudo that fascinates me so much.

    Thank you for sharing Jesse! These are so amazing and I love how you continuously bring up being humble and not being too attached to your belt. Karate is about the journey not the destination and sometimes that is forgotten in the name of progress.

      So true. Way too much emphasis is put on grading. People need to realize that if you’re training you’re learning. That’s the main thing.

    Hi Jesse-San, My name is Babu from Cape Town, South Africa and I want to thank you for all your hard work and for sharing it with the rest of us Karate Nerds :-) I have been training on and off since 1999 and have recently gone back to training to push all the way to shodan and start the next part of my Karate journey, during my exploration to understand Karate better I stumble upon your videos and have been hooked every since and hope to have the privilege one day to take part in the Karate Nerd Experience. Thank you Jesse.

    What happened to the CR/LF ? hi: My son, now 16, just earned his first dan (wado ryu) this last summer. I plan to have him watch every episode here because you provide some of the two things his training is entirely missing: 1 - an introduction to the history and purpose of karate; and, 2 - an introduction to the idea that karate is karate: that the focus and teaching methods vary by association but the core ideas, purposes, and values do not. Thank you for doing this.

    Just a thought. You should interview Shihan Kiyoshi Arakaki. I wonder why you didn't interview him when you took his seminar in Japan?
