This man motivates me. I lost my Uncle, my big brother, and my Grandma all in a 1 year span. This man really inspires me to NOT QUIT. Thank you Mr. White.

Bumped into Michael at Macy's in Downtown Seattle once. I recognized him but I wasn't sure from where. I asked him if he might be a classmate at UW where I was at the time. He said no and told me he was an actor. We chatted about stuff for a bit and went back to shopping. Very down to Earth, generous with his time, good vibes. He's the real deal.
I love how you speak with so much care and wisdom for the listener to absorb the right kind of knowledge. Your words remind me of how my grandfather used to advise me, to preserve longevity and always remember to be patient as a beginner. Thank you Michael Jai White.
@@jsherpa25 What I like most about this man is he is super famous yet he is so humble . He share his experience and teach for free yet people dislike his videos . I really don't understand how can some people hate this guy and dislike his content .
I’m 50 yrs old been boxing for a long time , guys listen this man knows his stuff best explanation in my 50yrs ! Especially if you are just staring out ! Excellent don’t run into this guy in a dark alley .
I totally agree. Not having watched any movie with him, I expected "buff dude sells useless crap for views", but ended up watching the whole thing. I simply love, when a teacher doesn't tell - but explains. And people learn a lot better, if they understand the physics in fx fly casting, and of corse "everything" else.
Same. It helps so much more than some people can understand. From making an oponent blink so you can throw a more powerful straight right/left or to get your oponent to put their guard up exposing their body. It's surprisingly useful and effective
I am 43 and have done multiple martial arts throughout my life. I am also a US Army Veteran. This is a great video and I am going to share it with my kids. For some reason if they watch in on UA-cam they listen better than me trying to teach them. thank you and I hope that you have a great one.
@@dinara1389 It's an implication that this is information not shared in military training and that if it was added to a military training regiment it would make our military even more affective and disciplined. It also lends some credence to my opinion on the presumed basis that as a Veteran I have some cerfiable formal training and am not just a keyboard commando.
You can tell that the authenticity of MJW's commitment to Martial Arts has forged a silent force within him that comforts all who become the center of his attention. Humble and non-assuming, flexible yet solid, caring and respectful. The attributes of someone who uses his art to help others and protect those who can't protect themselves. A class act. I've always liked him primarily as a human first and secondly a creative source. He shares what he has as though you were family and you get the feeling that it's intentional as a important part of teaching and because he probably treats everyone with respect as part of his personal mantra. Thanks Brother Michael.
I cannot thank you enough for this instruction. I remember, years ago, hitting a heavy bag, thought I was getting good, and I sprained my wrist so bad it hurt for months. I'm a new fan Mr. White, thanks again.
Listen sucka, he's not White, he's blacker than the Ace of Spades and more militant than you and your whole damn army put together, while you're out there chanting at rallies and browbeaten politicians, he's taking out any money front sucka on a humble that gets in his way. So I tell you what, when your so called revolution starts, you call him and he'll be right down front showing you how it's done, but until then you need to shut the fuck up when grown folks is talking. It's from Black Dynamite, I'm just memeing
One of my best friends growing up . Had a piece of a tire mounted on a pole . To build up his hands as well . I've also seen five gallon bucket filled with sand . And drive the fingers into the sand .fingertips first . As well .. Much Respect!
The reason why I like Michael Jai White martial arts movies is simply because in quite a few of his movies, he's teaching fans his form of martial arts. I remembered watching the Bruce Lee movie Game of Death. HIs vision of that movie was to teach fans his form of martial arts. It was so unfortunate of him passing at such a young age. The three scenes Bruce Lee was in late in the movie demonstrated his amazing martial arts skills.
I’ve always punched pretty naturally well because I came up playing baseball. My dad always told my punch through the ball with your top hand. It’s almost, mechanical speaking, exactly like throwing a straight right. It’s all in the core and having active hips. Pretty cool to see it explained so well!
Tbh i'm scared to punch with full force, i have a fear that my arm will come out the socket. At the moment my body can't handle the full brunt of the force from a full power punch so i started strength and endurance training. I can somewhat output more force than usual so that's a good thing
Just starting boxing and feeling like my jabs were all wonky and not fluid at all. This was incredibly helpful. Respect Mike! Thank you for putting this info out there.
Well don’t take advice from this guy He a movie star not a real fighter lol He might take a few classes and light spar in the gym but he definitely doesn’t know how to throw a punch He throws arm punches and hits like a girl If you throw punches like this guy throw for speed to set up a hard shot To punch hard you got to drop your weight and it’s a way you brace your hips and legs that lets your drop your weight onto your opponent while you are punching This guy a weenie just flexing his arm wit his shirt off lol First thing I look for is how they set there lower body when ever I see any punching tutorial You got to brace you hips and legs in a way that lets you drop your weight with you punches… while still being on your toes… in boxing you got to be able to fight off your toes… so you will be able to quickly react to what ever your opponent may come back with… You only focus on your arms they way he overly does it to make sure the position you are in when you punch But unlike this moron who really is just a tv character and not a fighter You supposed to focus on built in defense Instead of flexing your scapula to arm punch better like this moron You have to make sure the arm you punc with is blocking your chin and the other free hand is guarding the other side of your face and elbows in to protect against any return fire The way this tv star wannabe fighter over analyzes his arm for punching offensively is a dead give away he just a poser If anything you do that for defense If you want to focus on offense when punching then the power comes from how you brace your hips and legs to drop your weight If you choose to hit like a girl and arm punch like this fake wannabe poser do it for speed to disguise you setting weight for the big punch
This is great stuff. Please remember for those starting out that your bone density in your wrists and arms is low. It takes a few months to get it high enough to hit really hard. You naturally get it from striking for ages when you are starting out. I returned after a year and my wrists and arms couldn't take the impact that my technique could generate.
This is going to be great. Coming from a man that has walked this earth 40 years scared of every one, and not understanding your strength and size. Looking forward to calmly telling someone who decides to tell me I can’t sleep in a certain bunk. “You have 3 seconds to get help because that’s not how you speak to another grown man. Sir. The officer don’t even tell me where to sleep. So sounds like you want to be dorm cop. 3. When done. Thanks for the bed.
Been watching your work for years. Ever since Blood and Bone. Your passion for the art of movement and the nature of the physical body when mixed with martial arts is astounding. Please continue your effort, it is truly inspring.
Michael is truly a force. I really respect the fact that he continues to seek and share his knowledge from so many styles of martial arts. He's a tank, but realizes that the accumulation of skills are what sets him so far apart from many of the people in his space.
@@lukakallu Yes because obviously steroids for a long period if time keeps you young and healthy, fucking ignorant fool. Keep your ignorant opinions to yourself.
Michael I love how you explain the importance of learning how to punch correctly. Your technique is very similar to what my instructor has taught me . Out of all the UA-cam videos I've been watching this is one out of very few that actually impressed me . Much respect I'll be checking out more of your videos for sure.
Hope this legend is still living and breathing and in good health and many more years of training and fighting..... You always inspired me especially never back down I watched it over and over as a kid, I developed a liking to combat sport because of you ...and years later im now 22 years old.... joined a dojo and I've been competing in amateur mma/kickboxing. All the way from south Africa.... Thank you Michael Jay white ❤
cian gavin it’s funny every time i see people on the internet with dumbass opinions like this they never know how to properly formulate a sentence, get educated before spreading your stupid opinion on the internet
I trained a few mates on basic boxing skills and the biggest issue they all seemed to have was trying too hard. Just relax whilst you learn. The power just comes naturally as technique improves. Great video, grew up boxing but never seen the hanger before and love the idea behind it. And easy for anyone to set up and practice on 🤟
For all of you born this millenium: He WAS Spawn. THE Spawn. With Theresa Randle, opposite John Leguizamo and Martin Sheen. And he WAS Jax. Mortal Kombat: Rebirth. It's on UA-cam. It made Mortal Kombat: Legacy possible. That's on Netflix. He's Black Dynamite AND Bronze Tiger. He's Mike Tyson. Man has been doing this a long time, and never gets enough credit. Would love to see him grace the Expendables franchise, perhaps. He has a working relationship with several of the other actors.
Wait...MJW is Jax from MK? I watched that while I was pretty young and I didnt recognise. The first time I saw and recognized him was Super UniSol and the Spawn movie.
You have a gift for teaching, The way to break it all down into easy to understand steps and explain both the right ways and wrong ways is super effective. Thank you!
Love this dude. He's a real fighter a real teacher and the real deal. He's very underrated in my opinion. Through watching these tutorials I can clean up my technique and reach my maximum potential. We all can. I got a family to protect so I wanna be a great fighter and shooter. In fact I wanna be one of the world's most peaceful but dangerous guys out there. Only for protection purposes tho. I'm no trouble maker.
Thank you Michael White, this has helped me a lot with my punching efforts. One day, I will learn from you without the boundaries of the internet. I don't have the money now but one day, I will. Thank you again.
I have incorporated the fist clinching to punch without having to tape my wrists, and Michael’s method is highly effective. My punches are much harder now, and my wrists do not budge. Thanks Michael
JAis great noone needs to compare to anyone and claim whose better than who. JAis his own legend hes a great martial artist and looks like a very good man too i like jai.. listen the hate he got about bruce lee, listen if you ask bruce lee and put him on the spot, if he was being chinese hell be humble and kinda find a way to not upset the playing field, but if you put him on the spot im sure hed say he could be jai too... and JAi made valid points,,, because Bruce Lee was exceptional wihtout a doubt. but he did say and quoted "if i was 6"2 and 220lbs id rule the world" SO that tells you Bruce was aware of his size but he knew he was good and could find a way to beat anyone,, but reality is JAi has a huge size advantage and depending on how the fight went down, JAi as good as he is could beat Bruce... people say stories are fake ect, but these are world champions wiht EGos that claim Bruce was the best and a step a head. they swallowed their pride in saying that the great joe lewis envied bruce and talked alot of crap, only to later in life before he died and achieved alot himself, admit alot fo things... so bruce always knew, because there are alot bigger people, he could get hurt if he got hit, but bruce was far from stupid and a total genius lol.. but both guys are great and both guys hold themselves well are good characters... jai is his own legend, i think they wouldve been great friends, bruce wouldve loved jai, and learnt alot from jai aswell. i say this on behalf of Bruce lee fans haters, or Chinese people or whatever, bruce also quoted, "under the heavens we are all but one family" give some respect to JAi we are living in the last era or great martial artists that dedicate their life to traditnal martial arts, and have good character and teach people and guide people.. JAis a SIFU , he should be remember as a SIFU amognst the greatest of martial arts legend and not compared... I bring up BRuce hoepfully not to open wounds, but make people aware JAI and Bruce are both legit great martial artists, shouldnt compare but rather admire what they dedicated their lives too and maybe we can learn from the both of them..
@@Tank1 huge size does not guarantee victory, decent dmg + speed (for dodging and striking a few punches over time, which is Floyd may weather's tactic) is a way surer way to victory if this dude isn't fast enough to hit Bruce then he won't even be able to dmg him much
@@M.I.D.ORIGINAL youre just saying things we already know. Im a huge bruce lee fan size matters alot less in real fights than sport compitition fighting but it still matters, i think the idea size and weight is light heaviweight size in mma terms. 205lbs-220. 5"10 - 6"2 any smaller is disadvantage and any bigger same in my opinion im talking in general. Bruce lee is incredible i still havent seen anyone in this era or before that intercepts like he does. His timing speed and precision is rediculous.. Even Jai i dojt believe he has that ability to intercept.. To counter maybe,, but that zen like psychic ability ive not seen in anyone.. But still bruce was 5"7 and 140lbs.. Hed murder any average guy regardless of size. But Jai is legit.. I dont see the zen like precision in Jai, but hes got great technique. But you really nees to see Jai do a free spar like what bruce done.. No choreographed crap just allow someone free attack and see how good his timing distancing ect is, cause technique means nothing if you dont have them.
Love this guy, he’s an excellent fighter and a good actor. Love to see him playing one of the more skilled characters in Marvel. Seems like a really nice dude too.
Thank you so much Michael, you’re one of my inspirations for being a better martial artist, fighter, and person who spreads balance and positivity to all those I come into contact with🙏🏾
The part about punching at the end of the body's rotation is absolutely correct. Many people punch too fast, starting the punch before the body starts to rotate, and accelerating too fast, ending with a fast punch that impacts before the rest of the body is in position to develop maximum force. Force= Mass x acceleration. Many people choose acceleration, speeding their arms from start to impact, but neglecting to rotate their core quickly and early enough. The result is a fast punch that has only the weight of the striking arm behind it, without the mass of the rest of the body. A better strike is like Michael said, to hit at the the end of rotation, when you can the body's rotation to the arm's mass, and then add in the ground reaction from the back foot at impact.
Wow Michael what do you do to stay looking so young. I remember you. When Larry Rogers had to work as a fireman, you taught the class. I still remember that white Volkswagen rabbit you owned. You are an awesome martial artist instructor. Your teachings are engraved in my memory. I remember you taking time to correct my stance. My knees bothered me so much and I asked you for your opinion and you took the time to correct my stance and the way I was placing my feet. I always listened as you taught. I remember how you showed how to strike without flenching in order for the opponent not to see it coming or when sparing you showed us how to stomp our feet and yell in order to startle our opponent and get that point through. Man I miss Top Ten Karate studio and those days you were our instructor. Your older than me but look 10 years younger than me. God bless you and keep up the great work.
Arriess lanss when I was 18 yrs old I started taking karate at a school named Top Ten Karate studio in New Haven Ct, he was one of the instructors. When I was there he already did Toxic Avenger 2. When the owner/ instructor sensei Larry Rogers had to work as a firemen, Michael White was our instructor. He was and still is a great instructor. These videos show that he is a true master. A funny story I remember was that he was trying out for Newjack city, the role he was trying out was a Cuban detective character. He had to learn a Cuban accent for the part. He asked me for help. I tried and I finally gave up and said I’m Puerto Rican born and raise in the U.S and don’t have an accent and can’t help. Then the next time he taught class he told me he didn’t get the part and he told me Ice T the rapper got it, well I guess they decided to get rid of the accent for IceT. I also remember him doing a commercial for Burger-king and they had him get a haircut with a shape of a biscuit. We kind of razed him about it and he laughed and said if you got paid $50,000 would you get that haircut. I was like hell yeh. I’m not sure if it was 50K but I know it was a nice stack of cash. The man is a true martial artist. He knows a lot of different styles with black belts in them to boot. He is in phenomenal shape and must be drinking from the fountain of youth. This incredible artist is literally a true artist in the martial arts. If this guy opened a can of whop ass on someone they would truly get that high quality ass whipping. I’m a witness to his authentic knowledge of his art. When he taught we listened.
Funkyfreaks27 YT Hollywood has. It is ridiculous that we have not seen him in more mainstream movies. I feel like we are being cheated out of more spectacular action films because we don’t have a real martial artist and actor like MJW on more of those films.
I'm shocked he is grounded and not all Hollywood. Like the training space, rough and primal. They say " If you are Humble, it's easier to connect with the masses and you are able to learn new things." Keep it going. Gets all us regular people motivated to get in fight shape! Train hard everyone!
Because Spawn was a major hit with the children video games, T shirts, etc you would think this will be great but quietly religious leaders protested this Hellspawn character also he was too strong and hot for Hollywood
I haven't finished the vid yet, but I just had to say this. I remember watching never back down 2 and it was this scene where they were talking about kicking power so the guy kicks the bag and makes it move thinking he did something; a few seconds later you see Mr. White come through kick the bag and punctured it. This video made realize how he is really well versed and trained in the martial arts and how he incorporates his teachings within his movies. I salute you good sir. God Bless.
@ smh, clearly you missed the point of my comment. I know it was part of the movie, what I am saying is in that same movie he teaches the same thing as he does in real life; except in the movie it was a little more exaggerated because of course it was a movie so of course the bag was going to bust open smh. Have a blessed day sir.
Kicking a Bag,and even puncturing it, is beyond pointless,because organs and skin has water behind it. A human being is going to react also after every throw/jab/kick towards them----Being good at tapping bags will not make you a REAL FIGHTER.It may condition you,but its not the entire equation when it comes to producing a good fighter.This guy is making money and putting himself on a platform for young people who are ignorant or crappily informed with fighting. Michael is a Fraud-----period.Id like to see him go and do a podcast with Joe Rogan and tell him he is real,...I would laugh my ass off all day...….This guys a fool.
I haven't practiced martial arts for years now. 20+ years I'm sure. It is great to see an explanation that justifies the mechanics of the way we were taught to punch, and further expands upon it.
I wanted to do minimum effort with maximum result, so rather than leave a like a ruin your 69 likes, I figured I’d write to say...I laughed at this comment!
@@sirspongadoodle no concrete proof he wasnt bad at fightn either, call me a dumbass but youre over here h8ing on somebody that aint alive no more. How you say its the truth, you met him bfore and he told you, everyone he inspired are out here kickn ass while you are btchn and moaning. Get Real.
I still watch Spawn from time to time. He made that movie and his conditioning was straight legit. Glad to see him doing so well and helping others learn beneficial techniques that are so valuable.
Except for a few key differences, as Bruce Lee took massive inspiration from Jack Dempsey. He used the falling step to generate power for his 6 inch punch and used his last three knuckles, rather than the first two, in order to keep the punch "Pure". Purity in punching means the striking knuckles are facing the same direction as the moving body weight. The details can be found in Jack Dempsey's 1950 book, Championship Fighting and Aggressive Defense.
@@jordanmartens5591 Bruce also said the vertical fist is able to generate more force because of its alignment with the rest of the arm unlike horizontal fist found in karate
woahhh, i been boxing for quite a bit.. these ancient fundamentals are quite detailed. my cross is much more effective from adding some of this wisdom together. it makes complete sense. thanks a lot. ill treat this knowledge with respect champ
Yh I remember him in Dark Knight, I've never seen spawn though. He would've have made an awesome blade too but I think Wesley was unbeatable in portraying Blades temperament- plus he rocks shades better imo.😂 I still love MJW though and his movies.👌🏾
Not quite. Stewart is a professional ARCHITECT and is rather slender, skinny and actually very mellow. This guy is like a giant in comparison, plus: mjw's whole characterization is usually bad tough guy, so quite the opposite of an Architect. The only thing in common is he's black. The actual GL is usually bigger than john Stewart btw and the real GL isn't even that big.
threeaklok : dude if you told MJW he was not big he'd correct you sternly. He's extremely proud of his large mass, he worked hard to get his size. You are blind if you don't think he's big lol, he literally played MIKE TYSON!! On top of that, he doesn't fit the character of an Architect, he fits someone military, bouncer, boxer, etc Completely wrong casting idea
Many years ago I used to take boxing lessons, did it for ten years. (I'm 64 now) But my trainer never taught me the powerful punch methods as described by Michael J White -- which is why I never had any power in my punches. Thank you Mr. White! Seriously! I need to lose weight and recover from a bad heart -- so I am going to "train" myself at home using Mr. White's excellent advice.
We're the same age and I had a damaged heart five years ago. It hurt when I exerted myself too much. Well three years ago I started eating carnivore, mostly beef. I lost a lot of fat and gained muscle and my chest doesn't hurt anymore. I also started working out with weights and kettlebells. Good luck, it's possible to get healthier and stronger.
Mr. Jai, you're the man. The amount of sheer respect I had for your work throughout the years is unmeasurable, and being able to watch these older videos now, feels like one-on-one seminars to me 👌
Thank you Michael for all the action scenes from movies and youtube lessons you already share with the world. Now that I've learned the basics of Karate (inclunding some katas), I'm learning the Kyokushin style, really agressive with powerful strikes and a lot of elbow work, also strong legs supporting the released energy at every kick or punch, like Case v/s Braga in Never Back Down 3💪🏼💪🏼
This is indeed the most powerful karate. I also did it for 10 years, at my highest level, I trained three times a day, six day per week. 10 Km runs, 1000 knuckle push ups, and 10 minutes split in the morning. Afternoon, trained at the dojo, In the evening trained again alone at home The reason I stopped (beside the enemies I generated through out that who always wanted to tests my skills,) it was the prayers that we did before and after training. When someone who used to study kyokushin karate explained to me the prayers, I stopped that day and then I was attacked (spiritual), for a couple of months. But now I am fine, thanks to my Lord Jesus Christ. I am not against training if you like to train, just be careful of prayers.
@@everydaycounts1562 What do you mean by training but be careful with the prayers? Btw what kind of training would you do? I am thinking about training for martial arts but for now I want to work on my physical strength independently.
This man is my hero. I'd consider it the greatest honor of my life to be taught by him. How can one man be so lethal. So humble. So kind. And an amazing instructor all in one?
One of the best instructional videos I've ever watched on making a proper fist and striking with maximum power. Im going to be boxing soon and this is very beneficial. Anyone who does combat sports should watch this video and apply it when striking

You can tell that the authenticity of MJW's commitment to Martial Arts has forged a silent force within him that comforts all who become the center of his attention. Humble and non-assuming, flexible yet solid, caring and respectful. The attributes of someone who uses his art to help others and protect those who can't protect themselves. A class act. I've always liked him primarily as a human first and secondly a creative source.
He shares what he has as though you were family and you get the feeling that it's intentional as a important part of teaching and because he probably treats everyone with respect as part of his personal mantra. Thanks Brother Michael.
Very, very well said sir.
Well said good sir 👌
That's a great comment
eh
I read this in Bruce Lee's voice.
I cannot thank you enough for this instruction. I remember, years ago, hitting a heavy bag, thought I was getting good, and I sprained my wrist so bad it hurt for months. I'm a new fan Mr. White, thanks again.
Listen sucka, he's not White, he's blacker than the Ace of Spades and more militant than you and your whole damn army put together, while you're out there chanting at rallies and browbeaten politicians, he's taking out any money front sucka on a humble that gets in his way. So I tell you what, when your so called revolution starts, you call him and he'll be right down front showing you how it's done, but until then you need to shut the fuck up when grown folks is talking.
It's from Black Dynamite, I'm just memeing
One of my best friends growing up . Had a piece of a tire mounted on a pole . To build up his hands as well . I've also seen five gallon bucket filled with sand . And drive the fingers into the sand .fingertips first . As well .. Much Respect!
Yo mr.white
The reason why I like Michael Jai White martial arts movies is simply because in quite a few of his movies, he's teaching fans his form of martial arts. I remembered watching the Bruce Lee movie Game of Death. HIs vision of that movie was to teach fans his form of martial arts. It was so unfortunate of him passing at such a young age. The three scenes Bruce Lee was in late in the movie demonstrated his amazing martial arts skills.
@@-M_- breaking bad 😂😂
I’ve always punched pretty naturally well because I came up playing baseball. My dad always told my punch through the ball with your top hand. It’s almost, mechanical speaking, exactly like throwing a straight right. It’s all in the core and having active hips. Pretty cool to see it explained so well!
It comes from the whole body
wow never thought of it that way i did the motion and yeah its legit like punching through the ball, ur dads a smart man!!
The power comes mainly from the legs
@haris-235 m i I k iikm m Mmkkk Mmkkk o6jHug nuihf😂was j8iig7 by. by Hn0m06 h9beh🎉
Yeah your not wrong ive actually seen m.m.a fighters train by throwing baseball's
is it just me or u can tell his talking with passion
He loves the art
He is talking about the intricacies of power in punching and is not being violent
Tbh i'm scared to punch with full force, i have a fear that my arm will come out the socket. At the moment my body can't handle the full brunt of the force from a full power punch so i started strength and endurance training. I can somewhat output more force than usual so that's a good thing
Just starting boxing and feeling like my jabs were all wonky and not fluid at all. This was incredibly helpful. Respect Mike! Thank you for putting this info out there.
How old are you?
Position and movement will help also
Well don’t take advice from this guy
He a movie star not a real fighter lol
He might take a few classes and light spar in the gym but he definitely doesn’t know how to throw a punch
He throws arm punches and hits like a girl
If you throw punches like this guy throw for speed to set up a hard shot
To punch hard you got to drop your weight and it’s a way you brace your hips and legs that lets your drop your weight onto your opponent while you are punching
This guy a weenie just flexing his arm wit his shirt off lol
First thing I look for is how they set there lower body when ever I see any punching tutorial
You got to brace you hips and legs in a way that lets you drop your weight with you punches… while still being on your toes… in boxing you got to be able to fight off your toes… so you will be able to quickly react to what ever your opponent may come back with…
You only focus on your arms they way he overly does it to make sure the position you are in when you punch
But unlike this moron who really is just a tv character and not a fighter
You supposed to focus on built in defense
Instead of flexing your scapula to arm punch better like this moron
You have to make sure the arm you punc with is blocking your chin and the other free hand is guarding the other side of your face and elbows in to protect against any return fire
The way this tv star wannabe fighter over analyzes his arm for punching offensively is a dead give away he just a poser
If anything you do that for defense
If you want to focus on offense when punching then the power comes from how you brace your hips and legs to drop your weight
If you choose to hit like a girl and arm punch like this fake wannabe poser do it for speed to disguise you setting weight for the big punch
Sounds like you might need a better coach.
he is young enough to take fookin advice from an actor LMAO@@foreignwarren7361
This is great stuff. Please remember for those starting out that your bone density in your wrists and arms is low. It takes a few months to get it high enough to hit really hard. You naturally get it from striking for ages when you are starting out. I returned after a year and my wrists and arms couldn't take the impact that my technique could generate.
Thanks a lot. I will use this
This is going to be great. Coming from a man that has walked this earth 40 years scared of every one, and not understanding your strength and size. Looking forward to calmly telling someone who decides to tell me I can’t sleep in a certain bunk. “You have 3 seconds to get help because that’s not how you speak to another grown man. Sir.

Michael I love how you explain the importance of learning how to punch correctly. Your technique is very similar to what my instructor has taught me . Out of all the UA-cam videos I've been watching this is one out of very few that actually impressed me . Much respect I'll be checking out more of your videos for sure.
Hope this legend is still living and breathing and in good health and many more years of training and fighting..... You always inspired me especially never back down I watched it over and over as a kid, I developed a liking to combat sport because of you ...and years later im now 22 years old.... joined a dojo and I've been competing in amateur mma/kickboxing.

Would love to see him grace the Expendables franchise, perhaps. He has a working relationship with several of the other actors.

I have incorporated the fist clinching to punch without having to tape my wrists, and Michael’s method is highly effective. My punches are much harder now, and my wrists do not budge. Thanks Michael
Michael Jai White was my first choice to be Luke Cage. Much respect to you Sir!
Well he was Spawn. That was a pretty cool character and he was perfect for the part.
Luke Cage sucks!!! Terrible show. I am glad he did not do that show. He deserves better. Luke Cage is not even a martial artist. It would be a waste.

Love Mike. He so humble and one the greatest martial artist of our time.
JAis great noone needs to compare to anyone and claim whose better than who. JAis his own legend hes a great martial artist and looks like a very good man too i like jai.. listen the hate he got about bruce lee, listen if you ask bruce lee and put him on the spot, if he was being chinese hell be humble and kinda find a way to not upset the playing field, but if you put him on the spot im sure hed say he could be jai too... and JAi made valid points,,, because Bruce Lee was exceptional wihtout a doubt. but he did say and quoted "if i was 6"2 and 220lbs id rule the world" SO that tells you Bruce was aware of his size but he knew he was good and could find a way to beat anyone,, but reality is JAi has a huge size advantage and depending on how the fight went down, JAi as good as he is could beat Bruce... people say stories are fake ect, but these are world champions wiht EGos that claim Bruce was the best and a step a head. they swallowed their pride in saying that the great joe lewis envied bruce and talked alot of crap, only to later in life before he died and achieved alot himself, admit alot fo things... so bruce always knew, because there are alot bigger people, he could get hurt if he got hit, but bruce was far from stupid and a total genius lol.. but both guys are great and both guys hold themselves well are good characters... jai is his own legend, i think they wouldve been great friends, bruce wouldve loved jai, and learnt alot from jai aswell.
i say this on behalf of Bruce lee fans haters, or Chinese people or whatever, bruce also quoted, "under the heavens we are all but one family"
give some respect to JAi we are living in the last era or great martial artists that dedicate their life to traditnal martial arts, and have good character and teach people and guide people.. JAis a SIFU , he should be remember as a SIFU amognst the greatest of martial arts legend and not compared...
I bring up BRuce hoepfully not to open wounds, but make people aware JAI and Bruce are both legit great martial artists, shouldnt compare but rather admire what they dedicated their lives too and maybe we can learn from the both of them..
@@Tank1 ok
@@Tank1 huge size does not guarantee victory, decent dmg + speed (for dodging and striking a few punches over time, which is Floyd may weather's tactic) is a way surer way to victory if this dude isn't fast enough to hit Bruce then he won't even be able to dmg him much
@@M.I.D.ORIGINAL youre just saying things we already know. Im a huge bruce lee fan size matters alot less in real fights than sport compitition fighting but it still matters, i think the idea size and weight is light heaviweight size in mma terms. 205lbs-220. 5"10 - 6"2 any smaller is disadvantage and any bigger same in my opinion im talking in general.
Bruce lee is incredible i still havent seen anyone in this era or before that intercepts like he does. His timing speed and precision is rediculous.. Even Jai i dojt believe he has that ability to intercept.. To counter maybe,, but that zen like psychic ability ive not seen in anyone..
But still bruce was 5"7 and 140lbs.. Hed murder any average guy regardless of size. But Jai is legit.. I dont see the zen like precision in Jai, but hes got great technique. But you really nees to see Jai do a free spar like what bruce done.. No choreographed crap just allow someone free attack and see how good his timing distancing ect is, cause technique means nothing if you dont have them.
He claimed he could beat Bruce Lee. I’m going to disagree with him on that.
If they cast Michael as the new blade , i'd go see it for sure.

One of the best and most underrated martial artist ever
The part about punching at the end of the body's rotation is absolutely correct. Many people punch too fast, starting the punch before the body starts to rotate, and accelerating too fast, ending with a fast punch that impacts before the rest of the body is in position to develop maximum force.
Force= Mass x acceleration. Many people choose acceleration, speeding their arms from start to impact, but neglecting to rotate their core quickly and early enough. The result is a fast punch that has only the weight of the striking arm behind it, without the mass of the rest of the body. A better strike is like Michael said, to hit at the the end of rotation, when you can the body's rotation to the arm's mass, and then add in the ground reaction from the back foot at impact.
Ken Lek .cool you made a commenting explaining exactly what Michael white is saying and doing lmao
Wow Michael what do you do to stay looking so young. I remember you. When Larry Rogers had to work as a fireman, you taught the class. I still remember that white Volkswagen rabbit you owned. You are an awesome martial artist instructor. Your teachings are engraved in my memory. I remember you taking time to correct my stance. My knees bothered me so much and I asked you for your opinion and you took the time to correct my stance and the way I was placing my feet. I always listened as you taught. I remember how you showed how to strike without flenching in order for the opponent not to see it coming or when sparing you showed us how to stomp our feet and yell in order to startle our opponent and get that point through. Man I miss Top Ten Karate studio and those days you were our instructor. Your older than me but look 10 years younger than me. God bless you and keep up the great work.
You know him fr fr?
Arriess lanss when I was 18 yrs old I started taking karate at a school named Top Ten Karate studio in New Haven Ct, he was one of the instructors. When I was there he already did Toxic Avenger 2. When the owner/ instructor sensei Larry Rogers had to work as a firemen, Michael White was our instructor. He was and still is a great instructor. These videos show that he is a true master. A funny story I remember was that he was trying out for Newjack city, the role he was trying out was a Cuban detective character. He had to learn a Cuban accent for the part. He asked me for help. I tried and I finally gave up and said I’m Puerto Rican born and raise in the U.S and don’t have an accent and can’t help. Then the next time he taught class he told me he didn’t get the part and he told me Ice T the rapper got it, well I guess they decided to get rid of the accent for IceT. I also remember him doing a commercial for Burger-king and they had him get a haircut with a shape of a biscuit. We kind of razed him about it and he laughed and said if you got paid $50,000 would you get that haircut. I was like hell yeh. I’m not sure if it was 50K but I know it was a nice stack of cash. The man is a true martial artist. He knows a lot of different styles with black belts in them to boot. He is in phenomenal shape and must be drinking from the fountain of youth. This incredible artist is literally a true artist in the martial arts. If this guy opened a can of whop ass on someone they would truly get that high quality ass whipping. I’m a witness to his authentic knowledge of his art. When he taught we listened.
Wow I'm really jealous you have no idea what I would do just to see him walking down the street lol

I haven't finished the vid yet, but I just had to say this. I remember watching never back down 2 and it was this scene where they were talking about kicking power so the guy kicks the bag and makes it move thinking he did something; a few seconds later you see Mr. White come through kick the bag and punctured it. This video made realize how he is really well versed and trained in the martial arts and how he incorporates his teachings within his movies. I salute you good sir. God Bless.
@ smh, clearly you missed the point of my comment. I know it was part of the movie, what I am saying is in that same movie he teaches the same thing as he does in real life; except in the movie it was a little more exaggerated because of course it was a movie so of course the bag was going to bust open smh. Have a blessed day sir.
@Phil McCrevice Thank you brother, I appreciate the positive comment.
Kicking a Bag,and even puncturing it, is beyond pointless,because organs and skin has water behind it. A human being is going to react also after every throw/jab/kick towards them----Being good at tapping bags will not make you a REAL FIGHTER.It may condition you,but its not the entire equation when it comes to producing a good fighter.This guy is making money and putting himself on a platform for young people who are ignorant or crappily informed with fighting. Michael is a Fraud-----period.Id like to see him go and do a podcast with Joe Rogan and tell him he is real,...I would laugh my ass off all day...….This guys a fool.

This is what Bruce Lee was talking about with his 6 inch punch and everything else... 40 year's ago...
Jack Dempsey was talking about all this stuff significantly earlier.
Except for a few key differences, as Bruce Lee took massive inspiration from Jack Dempsey. He used the falling step to generate power for his 6 inch punch and used his last three knuckles, rather than the first two, in order to keep the punch "Pure". Purity in punching means the striking knuckles are facing the same direction as the moving body weight.
The details can be found in Jack Dempsey's 1950 book, Championship Fighting and Aggressive Defense.
he's a student of Bruce Lee's Philosophy

Not quite.
Stewart is a professional ARCHITECT and is rather slender, skinny and actually very mellow. This guy is like a giant in comparison, plus: mjw's whole characterization is usually bad tough guy, so quite the opposite of an Architect. The only thing in common is he's black. The actual GL is usually bigger than john Stewart btw and the real GL isn't even that big.

Great actor, athlete and teacher. Thank you for your contribution to society.
Many years ago I used to take boxing lessons, did it for ten years. (I'm 64 now) But my trainer never taught me the powerful punch methods as described by Michael J White -- which is why I never had any power in my punches. Thank you Mr. White! Seriously! I need to lose weight and recover from a bad heart -- so I am going to "train" myself at home using Mr. White's excellent advice.
We're the same age and I had a damaged heart five years ago. It hurt when I exerted myself too much. Well three years ago I started eating carnivore, mostly beef. I lost a lot of fat and gained muscle and my chest doesn't hurt anymore. I also started working out with weights and kettlebells. Good luck, it's possible to get healthier and stronger.

How’s your journey going brother? Has your training and health improved since you posted this comment?
Mr. Jai, you're the man.
The amount of sheer respect I had for your work throughout the years is unmeasurable, and being able to watch these older videos now, feels like one-on-one seminars to me 👌
Love this! Black Dynamite!
Didn't know Spawn had a UA-cam channel. . . Awesome!!!
MrUseless247 lmao
lol
Lol that movie was trash
@@xIceman216x the concept was still cool dont hate, appreciate.
Got that movie on laser disc
Thank you Michael for all the action scenes from movies and youtube lessons you already share with the world. Now that I've learned the basics of Karate (inclunding some katas), I'm learning the Kyokushin style, really agressive with powerful strikes and a lot of elbow work, also strong legs supporting the released energy at every kick or punch, like Case v/s Braga in Never Back Down 3💪🏼💪🏼
This is indeed the most powerful karate. I also did it for 10 years, at my highest level, I trained three times a day, six day per week.
10 Km runs, 1000 knuckle push ups, and 10 minutes split in the morning.
Afternoon, trained at the dojo,
In the evening trained again alone at home
The reason I stopped (beside the enemies I generated through out that who always wanted to tests my skills,) it was the prayers that we did before and after training.
When someone who used to study kyokushin karate explained to me the prayers, I stopped that day and then I was attacked (spiritual), for a couple of months. But now I am fine, thanks to my Lord Jesus Christ.
I am not against training if you like to train, just be careful of prayers.
@@everydaycounts1562 What do you mean by training but be careful with the prayers? Btw what kind of training would you do? I am thinking about training for martial arts but for now I want to work on my physical strength independently.
@@MujoOfTheMind he is a troll. Dont believe him💀
hop off
Look into jujitsu and Silat
This man is my hero. I'd consider it the greatest honor of my life to be taught by him. How can one man be so lethal. So humble. So kind. And an amazing instructor all in one?

If they bring an actual Luke Cage movie to the theaters I would not mind this guy playing him
Yes, he would make an awesome "powerman" (Luke Cage)! I used to read that comic when I was a kid.
Give Luke cage his martial arts ability’s he would be way better
Are we the first to sign the petition
That would be sick
I agree. He's been criminally underutilized by Hollywood. He would make a great 007 or Jason Bourne type character also.
"if u see my forearm......"
me: *YES I HAVE BEEN STARING AT IT SINCE THE START OF THE VIDEO*
Thank you. I just showed this to my 8 year old. Well taught.
The smallest bits of info given by this man GOES A LONG WAY. Wow I never thought about the fist thing. Keep up the good work Mr White! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
He should play Jax in next Mortal Kombat movie.
True that man.... John Cena as Stryker, Ryan Reynolds as Johnny cage and Katherine Heigl as Sonya Blade
He actually played jax in the official mortal kombat web show: Mortal Kombat Legacy!
@@breakops5339 oh yeah I almost forgot.... That show was pretty forgettable honestly
There should never be another mortal combat movie.
@@ibewillow the first was great but the second just failed
One of the best instructional videos I've ever watched on making a proper fist and striking with maximum power. Im going to be boxing soon and this is very beneficial. Anyone who does combat sports should watch this video and apply it when striking
Trained this and has improved my punches by 100%. Respect to the GOAT MJW!!
Tried this on Peter Parker.....
Ended up hitting a locker instead, now my hand is broken.
I’m fucking crying rn lol
Underrated 😂👌
Omg lol
