This is awesome Jesse.
Lyoto was not only a great fighter but he is a great dude. Respectful, tough, skilled and humble.
Karate personified 🥋
@@KARATEbyJesse He is the right side of karate personified. His observations, adaptations and being more concerned with results than tradition are what made him great. As he pointed out in summary Karate has been negatively impacted by the politics and evolution into a point based contact sport.
That's the problem with competition in general. Politics and the severe dilution of original purpose and effectiveness.
Totally agree. Lyoto has contributed so much to Karate
pity a personality like his is so rare in the sport :(
@@superstealth1000 karate is the best style to form a great personality IMO. Even in the UFC, the best karatekas are all great dudes
I love that he calls his opponent his "partner". Impressive sense of respect
When you see a lot of fighters, you think that I don't want my kid to become like them, but seeing this man makes me want to let my kid go on the martial arts journey
Yea I agree
I live in Pará, which is where their academy is based on. Most people here (and beyond other regions) see karate as a sport meant for kids.
I remember quite well when I was a kid and Lyoto was having a great time in MMA. All my family (mainly my grandma) gathered in front of the TV to watch his fights and cheer for him.
That's one of my motives to feel interested in karate, which I started training some years later.
It's very powerful to see a countryman going so far.
Grande Lyoto.
Pensei que eu não ia encontrar um BR aqui kkkkk

The man!
You are!
The Myth !
The legend
The Seth
Thanks a lot for the video man. It's not everyday you see such a humble, true martial artist breakdown his most iconic moments. Such an inspiration!
Glad you enjoyed! 👍
🙌
@@KARATEbyJesse Lyotta is so nice Jesse two beautiful huming beings the warm energy radiates between you both much love xxx
@@KARATEbyJesse Hapkido is Korean karate and it has hundreds of grappling moves which includes ground moves it has the unarmed moves of Karate,Judo,Aikido,Jujitsu and the moves of Kendo so does the Korean arts Hwardo,Kuk Sool Won and Hwa Rang Do which is what all of these arts are made from.
Machida is one of my favorite fighters ever, really admire his philosophy and he is such a great fighter. Absolute legend
His remarks about admiring too much are maybe the most valuable thing in the entire interview. It's ALL good, but that specific line of conversation is very important.
I'm just a computer programmer and this lesson was deeply inspiring.
Vida longa ao dragão, respeito total.
it was deploy inspiring :)
For me Lyoto is greatest fighter that ever competed in UFC. Fight record does not mean anything, but his skills, humbleness and attitude towards his opponents. That makes him a warrior
Absolutely 👊💥🥋
He's prob number 3 in my book. Behind Anderson Silva and GSP. But still he is super awesome!!!
@@KARATEbyJesse Thanks for heart and reply Jesse, you also are inspiration. Greetings from Bosnia and Herzegovina
Slavian, iam with you. Great comment!
This is it. The combination of these 👍🏻
not just A warrior, but A TRUE warrior
I have never followed Lyoto Machida's career as a mixed martial artist, but he is a wonderfully humble, down-to-earth, natural gentleman who tells it like it is. Fascinating interview, brother.
Thank you! 🙏
Machida Sensei is correct in explaining the totality of old school Karate as opposed to today's watered down sport Karate. Remember - the first place Funikoshi Shihan taught when he came to Japan was at the Kodokan Judo Institute. There, with Judo and Karate training together there was a lot of technique bleed over. For example the Atemi Waza of Judo is for all practical purposes Shotokan Karate minus it's katas. Remember all the old movies where Shuto Uchi was called a "Judo Chop"? Old school Karate contained strikes, kicks, throws, arm locks, leg locks, neck locks, and chokes most of which are forbidden in tournament play today. I'm happy to see one of my heroes, Oliver Encamp, proficient in the grappling aspect of the art.
Lyoto has always been one of my personal favorite martial artists, because he proved that conventional styles like Karate or in my case, Tang Soo Do are functional if you use them correctly. Eventually I started training Muay Thai and BJJ to become a more complete fighter, but one thing I feel I gained from Tang Soo Do was that notion of respecting your opponent, amazing interview Jesse

@@savagenature1244 But plenty of up-votes.
@@varanid9bro it's not reddit
Most of all I like the respect he bring to MMA from traditional Karate rather then the WWE like showboating and trash taking most MMA fighters do
Karate begins and ends with respect
Sadly most people prefer that shite. It's annoying but it's what gets many to the top since entertainment is valued over skill rn.
not profitable though
look what happened to one of the best fighters, Demetrius Johnson... the UFC did him dirty
Like Ronda Rousy?
Michida is a BJJ black belt, and he spent 6 years in Thailand training in Muy Thai. Machida’s background is not solely on Karate.
Lyoto Machida: "I met Mr. Seagal the week of the fight and asked him what he thought of that technique."
Mr Seagal: "We've been training this technique with Lyoto for a long, long time."
Mr Seagal: It's my technique, I created it, and he did what I wanted. All because of me, I coached his coach.
I loved seagulls demonstration of the kick🙄🤣
Seagal's sorry attempt to demonstrate the technique is nothing short of hilarious.
@@joelrobertgaul1128 It wasn't meant to be the same kick what Machida used. It was "run towards the opponent and kick right away" -kick. If I remember right Machida practiced it, but never used it in real match.
He's been practicing that kick for like 87 years
I love how karate fighters are the most humble and respectful of mma. It really says a lot about the values it taughts. And i say this as someone who knows nothing from karate but it makes me appreciate it.
Lyoto Machida is an unbelievable fighter in no small part because of his wisdom and adaptability. The way he talks about martial arts is inspiring and beautiful to hear; people seem to forget that art is personal and you are allowed to decide how to bring it into the world. As someone who grew up doing taekwondo and had to reckon with the fact that many of the techniques learned in the dojang would be impractical in a real fight, it is truly awesome to see someone overcome the limitations of tradition in order to use their art as a practical strategy against the best opponents in the world.
Favorite fighter hands-down.
A master and a gentleman -- great interview, Jesse!
I apprecite that!
That was so good, especially his closing thoughts on how karate needs to keep evolving to stay current, and how the training practices and mentality are often insufficient in these days.
Thanks Javier-san!
yes we need mawbuni and funakoshi style karate back
I remember a quote from a friend and fellow karatekai "There's a lot of martial artist but only a handful of fighters" and now that I'm older I understand and agree completely.
🙌
The problem with karate is it "devolved" into an olympic-style sport. Just watch the difference between olympic boxing and professional boxing, olympic boxing looks lame.
Amazing interview, Lyoto is a realist.
He's a practical martial artist and a Master too.
Thank you Jessesan for this interview
Bitter truth has to be accepted. Great interview Jesse. He spoke reality about Karate politics and applicability of Karate in MMA and even street fighting. God bless you
Machida is such a nice guy, and one of the greatest fighters in the sport’s history. So much admiration and respect for this guy!!
two karate legends in one room. talking karate. my dreams came true ! Onegaishimasu Senseis
Yoooooo, I've been waiting for something like this! Lyoto was the entire reason I got into mma back in 2008 and also the reason I started training in karate. I moved to Brazil as a teengaer in 2009 and was looking for somewhere to train, and when I walked into this small karate school I mentioned Machida and the sensei walked over to the wall and took a framed picture down with a few articles and photos. He was on the karate team with Lyoto's dad back in the day. Turned out I had just walked into a small, humble dojo that had produced so much talent and hard work, and I even became friends with some of the people from the family. I didn't get to train for too too long before leaving, but it's honestly one of those things I can't even talk about without being pummeled with the fondest nostalgia. It helped me adapt to life in Brazil and for the first time made me feel like a martial artist (especially when I realized I'd been in a "self-defense" mcdojo back home lol).
Yea, I could talk for days about even this limited experience. I can't imagine being Jesse and ever talking about anything else! haha
I am Brazilian and japanese descent. I also live in the north of Brazil like him. I am so proud of lyoto.
Brazil says hello to you and our own Lyoto Machida, from a fellow karate nerd ❤️
I love how chill Lyoto is. Humble karate master
Lyoto is a Legend. So respectful. An example of how all fighters should behave. Thanks for this video.
I regain faith in Karate because of Mr. Machida. One of my idol! Thanks for this interview
2:46 - Look at that movement! He even got some Naihanchi amid the steps. Just how he showed in the cage some clips before. That's so great.
He's undoubtedly my favorite fighter of all time. He might not be undefeated but I think being so dedicated and so willing to express himself he could have beaten just about anyone on the right night. All the positive things you can think about what being a martial artist means he completely embodies.
If you could I would love to see you do things with him and Chinzo, or that young guy in Bellator who trains at their academy. Maybe you can even convince them to train you for a fight and document that, would be fascinating.
Jon Jones got lucky - Lyoto was winning that fight.
Thank you so much for taking my request. Great interview once again and great analysis from Lyoto. Never saw so many elite mma fighters frustrated as badly as when they faced Lyoto back in the day. His Karate was unbelievable. There's so much young fighters could learn from him
The breakdowns were cool but the last minute was so full of wisdom and I think the best part. Thank you both for sharing the wisdom!
This video is excellent, every time I listen to Lyoto I learn a lot. I would love a complete podcast episode with him talking about his experiencie, he has very interesting thoughts and doesn't fear being controversial. Also, he's a beast! He knew how to take the best of karate and adapt it to his MMA game
You can find a podcast with him in Portuguese. I don't know if you can enable English subs on that, but def worth it giving a try. Search for "Lyoto inteligência Ltda" and you might find it
Big fan of Lyoto, dude is the real life Ryu. Dude is a monster fighting, we all know that, but there aren’t many other MMA fighters with their head in right place like him. Mad respect.
Yet another great fighter, highly skilled, highly perceptive, highly innovative, and full of humility. What a great role model.
This is like a dream video. So grateful to get to know Lyoto Machida a little more, especially in this perfect setting, with Jesse Enkamp on top of it! Man I just wish this was an hour long! Immense respect for M. Machida, a true martial artist in the real sense of the word! 🙏
Loving your videos, Jesse. As someone at the start of his karate journey, they’re really helping my understanding
Wonderful. Keep it up! ✊
This whole interview makes me happy as somebody who's practiced karate for going on 23 years. Thank you for the opportunity to watch the interview, and for the solid questions that don't hit just the superficial stuff.
It hits close to home for so many of us karateka who was made fun of for having chosen this path. Sensei Lyoto proved time and again that Karate isn't just a sport, but a martial art that deserves respect. He is the pride of Shotokan.
Except he trained kyokoshin, I thought? Like gsp ml
@@randomuser6306 no, 3rd dan black belt Shotokan Karate
So there is one outlier (who also learnt other - more effective - styles) which supposedly proves that karate is effective. If karate was so great in a real fight, karatekas would swarm UFC.
@MrSaiyan _333 why would they not everyone wants to be in ufc
@@MrSaiyan333 He explains it in the video. With time karate got watered down and started focusing on being an olympic sport, so it removed the full contact fighting aspect in favor of point sparring and kata.
Very few dojos nowadays still teach the style in an old school way with takedowns, full contact sparring, and all that. Machida's is one of them.
That's why we don't see a lot of karate guys in the UFC. If someone wants to become an MMA fighter, it's a lot easier to just find a muay thai or some other style of kickboxing school and learn that instead of going on almost a wild goose chase for one of the rare old school karate dojos still around.
Lyoto é meu representante no MMA
Valeu!
@@KARATEbyJesse I will print this rare portuguese talk, Jesse! I really appreciate your channel, saudações brasileiras!
Brasileiros fãs do Jesse!
Epic video man
Thanks! 🙏
This is the best of the interviews. A very centered man with terrific focus and understanding of "what to do today." He is in touch with "nowness." That is key to developing one's self as well as one's martial art. Stagnant water kills; a stagnant martial art "gets you killed." Great work!
Very good interview with Sensei Machida. I watched that fight when he won the championship. He brings new respect for karate. Very respectful martial artists.
Un gran karateca . Mis respetos para sensei Machida 👍❤️👍
Gracias 😄
Great video! Machida's sweeps are so impressive. Nice to see that he is so wise as well.
Most definitely
when he slammed tito was soooo cool
What i love of this interview Jesse is how realistic and straight to the point is Lyoto, he answer and explains a lot enigmaitcs questions about Karate-MMA also the touch you give going straight to those question we all have make this interview an S Tier one, thanks Jesse
Mad respect to you both. Superior skills, fantastic attitude.
What a great man. I admire Lyoto Machida for his intelligence and good heart. It's been years since I've practiced anything close to Karate or other Martial Arts...I used to practice a lot back when I was a teenager, and guys like him always have been my inspiration. Respect, controled force, clear mindedness, zen...To me these are the most important aspects of Karate. Osu.
Honestly the respect you show To Machida and any other fighter and your love for martial arts and karate in general is honestly what makes me love MMA and doing MMA even more, So many toxic people in the sport where im from, Love your videos Jesse
one of the greatest fighters to ever do it. i remember watching his fights live felt like you were witnessing something supernatural. great interview.
This was a truly beautiful collaboration. Thank you again, Jesse.
Excelent video! Lyoto is the real deal karate artist. I think you could interview your brother Oliver or some hard karate styles like Uechi-Ryu or goju-ryu (Giga Chikadze-ufc). Hai 👊🏻
Absolute legend. One of my heroes. The man who has single handedly revived karate in the Western hemisphere.
Machida isn't bad either
I have always had a pleasure watching Lyoto. His humble decisive personality shows here too. Much appreciation to him setting a superior example.
one of the true legends of the sport, Mr. Lyoto Machida. its an honor. thank you Jesse for this wonderful video!
Awesome video! Thank you so much! To me, Lyoto will always be the greatest mma fighter. A true martial artist. I loved to watch his fights and the commentators would struggle to describe his techniques . They always spoke about him in disbelief of his karate style. Having come from a some what more traditional style myself, I understood what he was doing. Lyoto always exemplified the true samurai spirit. I was able to attend 2 of his fights and actually met him in Las Vegas after a UFC. Truly a humble man. The Dragon 🐲
Amazing 🙌
Incredible experience for sure, thank you for so exciting guest.
Jesse, thank you for doing this. Lyoto has been my favorite fighter for a long time. His English has only become more clear recently so to understand his perspective, ideology, and approach to the fight was really enjoyable to hear. Only solidifies further why I'm such a fan of him. Keep up the great work dude!
i just watched half of it and just have to admit - WOW ! Theres so much to learn from him. Good night and thanks a lot.
super inspiring content from someone who has nothing to prove anymore, Lyoto brought grace of movement and respect into this sport, it's a higher level
Sir i am a MMA fighter but i am big fan of your for karate 💪🥋
Man Lyoto is a legend. Jesse I don’t even do karate but you’re such a good teacher. I do mainly kicking/Muay Thai but I’d love to learn from you. Your enthusiasm for the movement and history is truly amazing ☺️
This absolutely amazing. What a humble and true martial artist. This is what the Martial Arts world needs. Thank you for this video.
Modern Karate Was so Washed out that Kicking and punching and simple takedowns were the only arsenal of techniques that gets to be frequently used, But now The Karate i used to love now became a game of tag, I get it that it's really competitive but dang it the restrictions were way to much, I hope if Kyokushin karate Made it into the Olympics, It wouldn't end up like the shotokan, Goju ryu karate do, became a Game of tag
The Olympics is the death of the martial part in a martial art, case in point what happened to the Korean Shotokan/Tae Kwon Do which got even more diluted and Judo.
I remember watching his fights as they happened. What a badass!
Such a fabulous master of karate, and all of its fundamentals, how can you not love this man....
Thank you so much for sharing!
His ambitions, his knowledge and his respect toward his opponents make him a greater person. RESPECT!!!
Fantasitc interview, so much wisdom. 👏👏👏
I love this guy ! Lyoto foi meu primeiro ídolo dentro do MMA ! Nunca vou esquecer suas performances que ví ao vivo.
Much respect !
I've always loved watching Lyoto fight. He's one of my all time favorites. I love how he stayed true to his style, and not just another brawler.
The english was perfect. And thank you so much for this video. Mr Machida is a great fighter, and probably one of the only reasons I still take Karate seriously, after many years of disappointment.
Amazing interview!! I’m even more of a fan of Lyoto Machida now than I was before watching! Not only an amazing fighter who came from a karate background, super knowledgeable, but also humble and respectful. I learned so much from watching this. Thank you for posting Jesse-san!! 🙇♀️
Dois dos poucos lutadores que admiro e observo como exemplos.
Great interview! The more I see of Machida the more I respect him, he's a true old school warrior in every sense. He not only is a master of technique, theory and strategy but he can articulate with great clarity what he has found to be successful. He fights with great focus and with honor which is a rare quality. I expect he'll do alot for combat sports in the future and more importantly for us aspiring initiates into the arts he's a great source of knowledge. Thanks Jesse and thanks Senpai Machida! Osu!!! 🙏
Great video Jesse! Love how you're able to get these interviews with all these amazing people. Lyoto Machida is a great martial artist and anyone who says that Karate is crap you can tell them about him and also Chuck Norris.
dude i had a kata tournament friday. i didnt won, but i defeated some enemys with heian nidan and heian kodan kata
Congratulations! What did you learn?
@@KARATEbyJesse i learned that if you win you dont throw saltos. If you lose you dont cry. You accept your win or defeat with positive energy
This video actually made me happy about my own karate training never having been aimed towards competitions.
I did participate in 2 competitions and won them but to me it was never about that at all.
Much more important were the times when I had to defend myself when getting attacked for real, and how it worked then!
Then in the heat of the moment when your adrenaline is high and time appears to go in slow motion suddenly the techniques and stances come out in the most unexpected ways.
Very insightful, that man oozes the warrior spirit, from the beginning to end, and his respect. He truly embodies the humbleness that we can learn from everyone at any time.
Yes sir, the English was Flow. Great really because I just came from the Sensei Seth video with Machida Bros, and the huge difference is that Seth was asking more specific questions and Lyoto had trouble phrasing his answers sometimes but Jesse let him talk more comfortably and he got much more in-depth. Great video.
With him being as close to a real life Ryu as possible I'd love to see Lyoto break down the Karate fighters of Street Fighter, Tekken, Ein from D.O.A etc. I've seen Ryu's sweep used in a couple of UFC fights for sure.
Be fun to see him talk about the inspiration and practicality of some of these characters moves, and get his reaction to how ridiculous some of them are. I'm sure he's heard the Ryu comparison many times before.
His japanese name is actually RYUTA. I'm not joking, he said in a podcast but had to change when he came to brazil. and became Lyoto or Ryoto. They put The "L" And "O" To sound brazilian and masculine here in brazil. and that is why he is called "The dragon".
@@rinseco That's about the most interesting reply I've had to a CZcams comment.
That's for the info that's genuinely quite interesting. It did always strike me that his name wasn't Japanese but sounded like it was influenced by Japanese rather than a straight Brazilian name.
@@ymb9shinzou743 when i heard his saying in a podcast i was surprised hahaha. But that makes so much sense.
@@rinseco Well, he born in Brazil
Kyokushin + boxing footwork = Baritsu (this is where I can switch to point-style fighting)
To add, Jujutsu can be found in Kyokushin forms. Particularly a style of Jujutsu concocted by people under the name Koryu in Japan.
What an inspiration, very intellectual and wise, it takes guts to say what he says, wish more fighters were just like that!
I respect the discipline and humbled nature. Martial arts is more than just being a fighter, it's about discipline, respect, technique and self-improving.
Very unfortunate that Lyoto Machida got KOed just recently
it happens... it's part of the game.
wow! This reminds me of my childhood when I paid so much attention to the respect and wisdom that martial arts bring to us, this is a real fighter. Great interview, great video, great guest, Thank you!!!
Gotta love Lyoto. Great fighter, respectful, humble, insightful.
Great Interview! Thank you Jesse!
Superb video, Jesse! I appreciate how much honor and respect Lyoto shows in the sport.
awesome , always been a fan of lyoto and now hearing him speaks , wow i learned a lot more.
Once again, excellent work. Very good video. Lyoto is a living legend. He contributed a lot to karate. Many things he said, apply to all martial arts. He has more humility than many. My respects and thank you!
I love the interaction between you guys, Also Lyoto inspires a lot of people here in Brasil. Lyoto is the best !
Osu! I love Lyoto and Jesse. Both humble masters. Much respect from Koei-Kan Karate-Do.
The wisdom, the grace, the balance and humility that's what makes Machida a true Karateka. In essence... Most strive to become a master, Machida said it best... 'it must work'. Wow, depth!
Wow Jesse, superb! Lyoto is such a great fighter but equally, a really great person too! Great interview. Such a nice humble gentleman. A rare breed!
Waw! Excelent interview, Jesse!! Thank you very much!
Thank you SO much Jesse-San for the video. You and Machida-San are two great, refreshing examples of highly skilled individuals who are very complex in the art, but very humble in the life. Great video, great inspiration. This is the stuff that fuels the fires in people who want to learn the arts.
Thank you so much! 🙏
Loved this Video. Learned a lot from your conversation with one of my hero’s Sensei Lyoto. Thank you Sensei Jesse once again for your excellent work.
Wow! All of this beautiful insight is so helpful! Thank you! I’m about a month into Karate and I am really enjoying it.
I have a new admiration for Lyoto Machida. Just a good guy all around. Great Vid!
