The Importance of Awareness (Part 9)

An article by Jesse Enkamp reminded me that I once began an article series on awareness. Nothing is more important than awareness with respect to avoiding conflicts. The headline claiming that Jesse Enkamp won every street fight in his life made me immediately presume that he never was in a real self-defense situation. He confirms […]

Book Review: “The 100 Deadliest Karate Moves”

After announcing not to do a book review, Jesse Enkamp did exactly this. It is rather a thin booklet, which he chose, and its title is “The 100 Deadliest Karate Moves”. I coincidentally have it in my bookshelf. So Jesse Enkamp’s article and the many comments on it were an interesting read. Especially the comments […]

On Inedia

Ever heard of inedia? No? I’m not surprised. Some people, who knew the phenomenon of anorexia religiosa, decided to simply copy it. This necessarily must fail! Some of these people recommended it to other people and some of them followed this stupid piece of advice and some of them were stubborn enough to try until […]

The Pink Belts

Jesse Enkamp boasts about how he once made participants in his karate seminar wear pink belts. As one of the commentators of that article correctly states, white belts, too, would have done the job, yet they wouldn’t have served so well as click bait. I don’t know for what martial art pink belts are made, […]

Jack Pot’s Lessons on Economics: Gender Pay Gap

Women allegedly are paid twenty-two percent less than men for the same labor. So all enterprises prefer women as employees. Thus the enterprises save twenty-two percent of the costs of their staff while the work still gets done the same way as male employees would do it. No? Not your experience? Then something must be […]

The Difference between an Art and a Sport

To my surprise, Jesse Enkamp, too, knows the difference between an art and competitions like done in sport. The people commenting on his article agree with the point despite finding the comparison strange. In his videos however, Jesse Enkamp loves nothing more than entering a competition. I already had criticized that he stepped into the […]

Weaponized Rice Farmer Tools

Cultivating rice is even up to day very labor-intensive. Rice plants first are pre-cultivated in greenhouses, then they are really plant by plant tucked into the soil. Rice plants have the advantage that they tolerate very much water. So this is used to kill weeds and insects by flooding the paddy fields. The soil of […]

Ninety Percent of all Real Fights End on the Ground?

Jesse Enkamp knows the rumor that ninety percent to ninety-five percent of all real fights end on the ground. Yet he doesn’t believe this rumor. I also don’t believe it, but for a different reason. He doesn’t believe it because the source is a study of the Los Angeles Police Department and to arrest suspects […]

On the Okinawan Karate Paradox

To Napoleon Bonaparte allegedly had been reported that the people, who lived on Okinawa, didn’t possess any weapons. Napoleon Bonaparte allegedly shall have replied that he can’t believe that any people existed, who wouldn’t have been interested in war. Should this be true, then the piece of information, which Napoleon Bonaparte got, was completely outdated. […]
