The way Jesse Enkamp explain things is like a university professor

[ajmjl]

Don't forget D.U.S.T the headpiece and vest are the most useful

Damn, no krav utility ultra military grade tactical camo belt??😪

Kung Fu is really variable, not like the other styles. It goes from solid color T-shirts with black pants to street clothes to the traditional jackets with the string style buttons. Over the last 30 years I’ve worn them all to class.

Great video, Sensei Seth! Thanks for building bridges. 🙏🏻

Great video!
I can add that in Muay Thai the Mongkong (Mongkol) in old school days was a Buddhist scroll rolled up and wrapped around the head. It was then blessed by the monks at the temple where you make a donation and ask for blessings.
The angle of the tassle denotes where you're from. Her monkong angled down indicating her kaimuay (or fight gym) was from the south. If it points up theyre from the north of Siam. Same if its pointing straight out to the middle, central Siam. The mongkong must always be kept high up, put in a place of honor because it protects the part of you closest to heaven. So it must never go between the ropes, it must go over, thats why Thai fighters always go over the top rope. After the prayer by ur coach he' ll hold it or put it on the corner post (the highest point).
The Praijet (arm bands) likewise often had a small charm or Buddhist sculpture wrapped up in cord and blessed.
The Malai (flower garland) was often gifted to you and blessed by the same monks. Marigolds are traditional to honor the gold color of the King of Siam. I was gifted an amulet made from the ashes of a Buddhist temple that burned down along with the monks inside. Their spirits were to protect me.
Corner men and cut men usually wear the vest indicating ur camp. Some fighters wear boxing robes to keep warm.
Lastly, ur last name fighting is the name of the camp, plus "Sit" ( student of). Like Sityodtong, means student of Yodtong. I fought under Vongphet (Kru Vong, Kru Phet ) so my name was Damien Sitvongphet. Kinda long but hope it sheds some light.

Awesome concept for a video and delivery Seth! Also, while there is no beating of Jesse in details and history, Shintaro's take with the tiger dude wins this one for me.

[shnng]

With all the danger in the ring, it’s understandable that Muay Thai fighters would want all those blessings

[victorhugolopezbautista]

For TKD is worth noting that for competitive poomsae (forms) is prefered a "Y" shaped as in other martial arts style gis. Nowadays for young competitors the norm is using blue pants for boys and red for girls, from 15 years old and up, black pants are used and for senior categories, a golden (brownish) upper part of the dobok can be used. Also some doboks are actually made out of different materials (very plastic-like) to enhance the sound.

I love my judo gi so much. It was my father's that he gave to me when I started judo. It's a "winter weight" one, which is just heavier and makes gripping a bit harder. It's now more yellow/ cream than white from years of use by him and me but it shows no signs of wear aside from that. Can't beat a good gi.

[nachomolaolivera]

It's mildly disappointing to hear more of Jigoro Kano (Judo's creator) from the Karate and Jiu Jitsu masters than from the Judo master himself.

Jesse. gives a history lesson with in depth research
shintaro: "i don't know much about it so i'm kind of winging it"

both great and entertaining in their own way, loved the video!

[CStayNZ]

Wearing my dobok makes me feel super strong and fast. Only because when you kick or punch a nice way it makes that crisp uniform noise making it sound like I’m tough.

[calebaddison]

Growing up I thought that specific styles were superior to others. Over time my view has been able to change that become more open to different styles to the point that while I train a specific style I find myself actively pulling ideas from other styles to better myself and my training. Videos like this help give a better understanding that while everyone may practice a different style we truly are part of one family of martial artists. Much respect.

in World Taekwondo style Taekwondo, our uniforms are all white with a colored belt. Once you reach black belt, you get a different top that's white but has a black collar.

[mesjm]

I'm a kung fu guy and I actually never new the idea of the sash. Super interesting

[salvatorediangelo]

I love your channel and how people today seem more open minded to learn all different styles. I remember being super biased as a 13 year old who had been training for a few years and feeling validated when someone well known practiced the same style as me and that my style had to dominate all. Now I wished I could live with the body of a 20 year old for thousands of years so I could learn every style ever created.

[backwardscapguy]

There are so many other ways he could go with this content! Sambo uniforms, kickboxing pants, whatever the hell Detroit Urban Survival Training guys wear, the possibilities are endless!

Re: Judo Gi.

I think one reason judo was popular with the military for a long time was that the heavy military uniforms reacted much like a judo gi.

Even after the uniforms got lighter, the flak vests and LBE harnesses work a lot like judo GIs. There is just this solid handle to work with.

Old wool uniforms and suits were solid handles. Modern stuff rips a lot more easily.

As a continuing Goju-ryu karateka, I will always love the Do-Gi and wear it proudly. As for the kung-fu, I would love to try it again and will sign up for Bajiquan class; also I love Chinese shirts. The Muay Thai mongkol, hand wraps, shorts and the arm bands Pra Jiad look so cool.
