6:48 The end of this video is worth its weight in gold

"It's not about the style as much as it is about the teacher, and if you're not willing to think outside the box, you're never going to master the art… Tradition is not about preserving the ashes, but rather about keeping the flame burning because that's how the art stays alive."

[stanislavangelov]

"Tradition is not about preserving the ashes, but rather about keeping the flame burning" Jesse casually dropping some of the most profound statements about martial arts ! Great content ! Never fails to both entertain and educate.... and remind us where the birthplace of Karate is !

[blockmasterscott]

Anyone notice how Jesse looks EXACTLY the same as when he very first started this channel? Jesse EnKamp=Immortal.

[RyanMDanks]

Training in Wing Chun and still finds a way to get in a “Okinawa, the birthplace of Karate.” 😊

Love your work, man.

[Elemy]

Man what a surprise... I'm French and I totally didn't expect seeing Didier Beddar on your channel. Thank you so much for giving him the spotlights, he deserves it

[noarnoar]

Sifu dider beddar....

As a Wing Chun instructor myself, the comment about "I was told this was used for finding your opponent in the dark..." I immediately thought, "well, that's like the idea of the Chum Kiu form (Wing Chun's second form that means 'Seeking Bridge'). You're seeking a bridge/contact with your opponent, and it's very much like reaching out in the dark. You don't know what you're gonna run into, until you make physical contact to use the skills developed from the Chi-Sau training. So, that may have been a metaphor for what it actually is, and just got lost in time/translation." Besides being in the Muk Yan Jong Fat (Wooden Dummy Techniques), that movement is also found in the Chum Kiu (Seeking Bridge) form!

Wing Chun is fast. My sensei has taught me Karate in a unique way, the speed of Wing Chun combined with the power of Karate. I can see the effectiveness of using and having both at your disposal.

[TheElbowMerchant]

The sound the wooden dummy makes is kind of pleasant, at least in my opinion. Some people probably find it to be grating on the nerves, but to me, there's a satisfying percussion and rhythm that sounds really cool.

[hkunsam]

I love how you always open minded and willing to learn.

Somethings to note:
As you showed in your trips to China, White Crane influenced karate, and the birthplace of White Crane is 永春 Yong Chun (Wing Chun in Cantonese). The art in the video is 咏春 Wing Chun, the same pronunciation. There's also another lineage called 永春 in Hong Kong. Wing Chun is literally an offshoot of White Crane. Sometimes White Crane was just called 永春拳 Wing Chun boxing, there are still styles of Crane that use this name in Taiwan. And that's how Wing Chun is related to karate 😃
Another note: I've seen Goju ryu practicioners using a form of wooden dummy, maybe one day you can make a video on that as well!

Hello from Luxemburg, Europe. I was last month in April by Sifu Didier Beddar in Paris. It was amazing to practice Wing Chun with such a great Master ✨️🙏🏻✨️

[fakshen]

I love how you phrase your request as "is it possible". It shows earnest respect.

[draces]

I love your channel. You don't get tied down in arguments about styles, you just go out there and learn.

[debapriyamukherjee]

I have been studying wing chun for at least 8 yrs now and this video enchants me 😁✨✨✨

[SifuNate]

Great summary of the purpose of the wooden dummy. Sifu Beddar is amazing! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[bradycharles]

This man looks like a Fantastic Wing Chun teacher and I would gladly learn from him. It really isn't so much the art you practice but truly the teacher.

[brutusleao]

Sifu Beddar is big capacity not only in wing chun, but in martial arts world general

[lauraduffy]

This man's work on the wooden dummy is spectacular. Thank you for showing it.
