Michael Jai White great techniques also I would like to know as you Bob and weave should we breath through the mouth or nose? Never thought of the technique of bringing power with the punches but now I can
Dr. Bonezs it’s all about breathing through the nose. That’s why you gotta do cardio. If you get hit with a body shot,while breathing out the mouth it may knock your wind out!
I would just like to take a moment to thank you Mr. White, not all actors have a UA-cam channel and try to give back to us regular folks, if you weren't already one of my favorite actors you definitely would be. Thank you again, please keep it going and I'm definitely signing up for your patreon
I'll second that. Humble accomplished and a total bad ass. He genuinely seems like a stand up guy not that I'd have the balls to say any different to his face lol ;-)
This is why I put a lot of training in the feints with precision because when you have precision, you'll hit your target 90% of the time. In that comes with knowing how to throw a punch correctly without any tell signs. Everyone wants to move on to the combination punching, power punching, and learn everything else before perfecting precision training and that's where I think most people fail. However, without footwork(and Michael Jai white who's been a practioner of the arts for decades knows this) you won't be able to set up attacks even if you have precision and footwork and precision is vital before you can do all of the stuff he's showing. If you're too flat footed, you'll be a sitting duck and easier to time. Most of the fighters you see who even get taken to the ground is because they're too flat footed and square. Good video from Master Michael Jai White.
Exactly, I'll add the greatest punchers and kickers all had great footwork because power starts from the ground. You need to have good balance from any angle or position to hit with your maximum power. It's all in the footwork. This is my biggest criticism of MMA, most have very sloppy footwork and rely on the wrestling and raw strength to win when they go against a true striker with equal wrestling skills(bc of better footwork) they usually get ko.
Maaaaan I mean no disrespect, I'm still waiting for your big role in a Marvel or DC film on the big screen. Your physique and acting capabilities screams long standing superhero or super villian. Big supporter brotha! By the way great video as usual!
You have the home gym of my dreams. Absolutely brilliant advice. That slip hook was insane! It's as if you combined a blitz movement with your hook to generate more power.
Thank you! Its a struggle to keep power while moving with your opponent. Best fighters dont consider this. Thank you sir... I will definitely practice this!
I love your videos man. I'm way past my Prime. I'm up in age almost your age. I stopped being a martial artist Probably about 10 years ago. I did not get as far as you did. But I do have enough faith in myself that I would trust myself in a fight with almost anybody on the planet. I come to your videos. Because the martial arts even though I don't practice or exercise like I once did it's still a large part of who I am. And I recognize someone who has more skills than me. Respect man. Thank you for your tutelage.
Thanks for that Mr. White. I've been working on a bag with a cousin of mine, and now I have something to show him in terms of footwork and head movement. I love your movie, Blood & Bone, it's 1 of my favorite Martial Arts movies of all time, thanks again Mr. White.
I've worked with multiple striking/boxing coaches and they never detailed the importance of slipping, head movement off the jab and getting off the center line for effective defense. Thank you so much definitely going to incorporate into my training
Whats up Mr.White?! I just wanted to say your a Cool Dude man ! You seem like your an honest person, who really trys to help people. Dont ever change Bro !!!!
@frip lip Buddy do you know how it is to be a 7th dan black belt in Kyokushin Karate. Well you should see a few videos on international Kyokushin fights if you don't know what is Kyokushin 😂
1 of the very best teachers at what he do. Because he know what he's talking about. It's not like he's talking look at his fights at 19 against his opponents at the gyms/ his movies.
You are AWESOME!!!! I started taking a kickboxing class June 2019 to reduce my blood pressure and lose weight. I've been successful with both of those goals, but now I want to get stronger. The coaches had just started incorporating weights/strength training into the classes when COVID-19 struck and closed all the gyms in my area. Although, we now have classes on ZOOM, for me it is not the same. I've exercised on my own for years, but never got the results I wanted until I joined a gym. Having that accountability is key. Thank you SO MUCH for this tutorial! I look forward to the next one. And thank you for being 1/2 of an amazing power couple. God bless and stay safe.
If this is the real Michael Jai WhiteI would like to say you my biggest role model ever ever since I seen you from the movie Spawn which is my ultimate hero also I much appreciate you you're the reason I started martial arts I stand up against my bullies
@@ethanlee-c3d as a lil kid my parents moved us to another town and other kids didn't like that I was from out town so during elementary ,middle School,& high school I was being bullied for not being like them they made fun of my hair style my clothes shoes throwing my tray on the ground punching my head for no apparent reason and in class they threw spitballs at me and paper balls I had it bad I wanted to kill myself at one point ND I didn't end up not going to class and sit next to a park next to the school that was close by I just sat out there the whole day I hated my life until one day I decided to enroll in kingfu school and jiu jitsu my parents were okay with it after the fact they figure it out that I was going to class and why the reason was
@@ethanlee-c3d so at that I stand up next to my main bully that kept pulling my pants down in school lunch lines p.e spitting at me taking down my self-esteem. I remember the day after months training like it was yesterday to this day my heart was racing but I kept my mind focus it all ended so quick I gave them a punch on the chin and he knocked out and then after all that I stayed there got him up when he woke up gaved him a water bottle and walked away he got so confused that he didn't want to try what he was trying to try again to me ever again ... Ever since and that act in high School nobody ever really messed with me after that which I like
@@ethanlee-c3d during middle School I saw the movie Spawn and saw more of Jai White movies and it ended me to look for a class and started martial arts
I was fan of win diesel but first when I saw your movie bloodand bone I became a lifetime fan of you and started promoting you to my other friends you are the real hero we love u from south india
Michael's making feel good about myself..I move left/right after everything I throw, whether hit or miss, because I know If I can make my opponent miss his counter, I'll have the angle to catch him flat-footed. You go, Brother Bone!!
The thing I LOVE about these kinds of videos he puts out... you don't NEED martial arts training for this stuff. Even if someone sees this video and nothing else? They're going to be better off defending themselves. Are they gonna win a street fight or even an extended fight? Probably not... but they're gonna know enough just from this video to potentially respond and how to end it, even if "ending it" means incapacitating 'em and running away.
Wow! Another GREAT video, love the advice on movement. I am a small guy and somewhat struggle with my movements but I’m still fast. I will practice this going forward, thx MJW.👍🏼👊🏼👊🏼
The bull is a 100% legit and everything that he is posting is great advice for the beginners and the more advanced fighters !! He’s a humble man that just wants to help fighters go from good to great !! Much respect to Mr White!!!
Damn id love to have some trainning with you, would be a dream coming true, ufortunally i live all the way in south brazil with no conditions whatsoever to travel all the way there, but i try following on your channel as much as i can, Great work Michael and God bless ya.
What respect Scott Atkins and Michael Jai White is that there always doing movies these guys will always be working and their great martial artists. Michael Jai White knows what he's talking about when it comes to fighting.
I want to compliment you. My shadow boxing has been going a lot better . Before I had shoulder injuries , but you taught me to use my core and other top tips Certainly helped me.
Boxing 🥊 is offense and defense in ONE MOTION if you’re throwing ya better be slippin & weaving or else ya leave ya self open to get hit ONCE AGAIN MJW BREAKS SHIT DOWN BEAUTIFULLY
If there's one actor I will listen to about fighting tips this guy here they're saying you're the only one but he just breaks things down thoroughly man and I believe he is the truth
Exactly how I was trained. Watch one of my bagwork videos, I'm constantly circling the bag, coming in and out, and one side of the bag has a board to simulate being against ropes. Most UA-cam fighting gurus don't do this; you can always tell who was trained by an actual trainer, by the way they work he bag. Whomever voted his down, show us how this is wrong.
@@Win94ae My intent was never to find any of the videos. My intent was to have you do that for me. I in fact only looked at your profile for a brief second. You missed the point completely but thanks anyway, bitch.
Much love and respect Micheal Jai White. It is good to see a Great martial artist, and actor giving back to those who are willing to learn the skills, techniques you have gained through all your experience in martial arts. You are the Undisputed!. Much love brotha
Great video bro, quick question on footwork how far a part should a person feet be from one another? I found out keeping my feet close together (max shoulder link apart) I can react quicker and close the distance fast.
Yeah feet at shoulder width is good for quick strikes, whilst a wider stance provides lower centre and more stability in a grapple for example. Practicing really wide stances are handy to move across larger distances whilst remaining in your sweet spot(balanced and poised). I've found lower stances good for fighting people taller than me when I want to avoid hands and just target their legs,which is typically my least risky option if he's already punching down at me with his height advantage. Wide stance is also good to exaggerate movement for fine tuning your movements whilst training, like feet position to allow proper hip rotation etc it can give you insight that is harder to notice in a narrow stance. What works for me may not work for you, but I wish you the best on your journey👍
Idk if Micheal would ever see this comment but thank you for be such an inspiration to me. There’s not a lot black superhero’s but you’re definitely a true hero in my book. Keep up the good work. I wish all the success, hopefully one day you get role of black panther, I’m sure Chadwick boseman (R.I.P) would be proud.
I appreciate you master White so much. I wish I was able to follow or be part of you lineage as a student. You are my favorite martial artist of all times.
A minor bit of jealousy, I want this mans' gym, the only comparison is the gym I lived at in Thailand. Moving on... I'm a bit more of an advanced fighter (both in age and skill, alas) but Mr. White here is giving me things to think about as far as my own training and what to teach to others as I move into a more instructive phase of my martial arts career. Much thanks and keep them coming!

Mr. White, I had the pleasure to meet you in 2009 at the ABFF, at the Yacht Club. I know you don't remember, but I told you that I was a screenwriter and one day I would work on a project with you. I am moving to Atlanta in 2024 to write full time. I hope to one day soon fulfill that hope. Your movies and work outs are amazing, and they are helping me a lot! I just started heavy bag work and I have a long way to go but I'm focused. As a 53 yr. old it's tough but you give me a lot of hope and wonderful tips! Bless you and your family! Skrnrtr

Great video bro, quick question on footwork how far a part should a person feet be from one another? I found out keeping my feet close together (max shoulder link apart) I can react quicker and close the distance fast.
Depends on what style boxing, muay Thai, mma etc all vary with different considerations ie leg kicks, take downs.. Etc
Yeah feet at shoulder width is good for quick strikes, whilst a wider stance provides lower centre and more stability in a grapple for example. Practicing really wide stances are handy to move across larger distances whilst remaining in your sweet spot(balanced and poised).
I've found lower stances good for fighting people taller than me when I want to avoid hands and just target their legs,which is typically my least risky option if he's already punching down at me with his height advantage.
Wide stance is also good to exaggerate movement for fine tuning your movements whilst training, like feet position to allow proper hip rotation etc it can give you insight that is harder to notice in a narrow stance.

Mr. White, I had the pleasure to meet you in 2009 at the ABFF, at the Yacht Club. I know you don't remember, but I told you that I was a screenwriter and one day I would work on a project with you. I am moving to Atlanta in 2024 to write full time. I hope to one day soon fulfill that hope. Your movies and work outs are amazing, and they are helping me a lot! I just started heavy bag work and I have a long way to go but I'm focused. As a 53 yr. old it's tough but you give me a lot of hope and wonderful tips! Bless you and your family! Skrnrtr

I'll keep watching videos, Lord willing.
Thank you.
Great info! I've followed you for years. 5 years ago, 2 years ago, and even today, you're still putting out consistency, relevant and helpful info! I do a self defense class that focuses on close quarter combat, and it mixes in boxing & muay thai, so these videos you post are extra helpings of info!
This comment might be late to the party but just started to get into boxing and found this extremely informative and useful, thank you mate
When I was learning boxing I was told always step to the outside never step to the inside or you might eat a hook or uppercut thank you for the tips
