It’s terrifying how flexible he is for being a mountain of muscle
The fastest 220 pounds guy you'll ever see... ans he's 53! Impressive
Batman Frame.
I hope to achieve- ( ´◡‿◡`)✧
You should check out Jujimufu!
I think that shows you how great he is
I literally cried laughing at Jesse being the gangsta at the end. You literally can't be a bad guy, you're too nice!
Haha I tried!
You would be better playing one of those well dressed European rich - bad guys , then busting out some flying kicks!
it was pretty good actually XD
I felt the same my guy the best part of the whole thing Jesse was old g way to gangsta for me and I am black dam
@@paulbonaventura4969 Yea, the guy who you thought is all about money and manipulation but could literally kick your ass in a suit. Jesse would definitely fit that character trope.
It's awesome how down to earth and funny Michael is, also he's a very positive person. This was a real delight.
He is a former school teacher
why exactly is he down to earth?
@@anthonydunkley7844he hug the eartg
The choreography and production values of that final fight scene in this little KZhead clip completely surpassed any of the actual Hollywood movies Segal has put out in the last 20 years. MJW seems like a super chill guy.

This man is 55 years old and he's in incredible shape what a badass. He's still so quick and precise with his strikes
It's called practice! 55 years old is not an old man unless you let 55 years old be an old man..😉☘️
Wait he's 55!!! He looks like he just Finished filming undisputed 2, except his cheeks i guess. He looks good
@@arjayfc4343 I can only pray I look half as good as him when I turn the same age
It’s crazy how he doesn’t look any older than 35.
@commanderdata-xy3wt 🥰🥰🥰
Michael Jai White is no joke. His skills are underrated. He's judged as an actor, not a practitioner
He lied about the shaolin temple tho
@@mr.bluejoey1091 what did he say about it genuinely asking
I agree. He looks like he can handle himself.
@@Raiden.H Just confused google regurgitation. Ranton made a video about it. On topic of skills sure he can fold average folk like us but ofc he couldn't hang with elite fighters.
Not at all.... underrated??? come off it...
MJW looks like such a genuinely good dude. Don't know if he has kids but they would be so lucky to have such a role model to look up to: really fun and charismatic, legit martial artist, good teacher... I've been watching your mini-documentaries now and then and every single one is better, keep them coming!!! ❤
He has kids
You know the technique is going to be good when Michael says “Now don’t let me hit you..” Man is a legend, love the guy
He trained Kimbo slice with that during Blood n Bone
I love how affirming he is of Jesse asking questions. He also gives such great positive reinforcement as well. These are signs of someone who is not only an excellent teacher but someone who genuinely takes great joy from helping others learn.
jai white isnt W White
I met Sensei MJW at a comic convention and was wearing my Kyokushin T-shirt. We spoke for 20 minutes about martial arts and movies. What a humble and quiet spoken guy. Very cool post, Sensei Jesse, thank you!
That is awesome!
Dude thats sick, MJW seems like such a cool dude.
Kyokushin rocks. Osu!
@@tonyperez4713 why wouldn't he be? being an ass doesn't get you anywhere in life

How didni miss this when it was originally posted? Micheal Jai White is my favorite actual martial artist in film and Jesse Enkamp is unarguably the best youtuber martial artist. So awesome to see them sharing knowledge and having a blast together. Thanks to Jesse and his crew for all the great content.
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
MJW is a true martial artist, no matter how much someone has learned most people can still learn a lot from him.
bunnysabeni8173,Sure
lol
I can never get over the fact that despite being a Hollywood superstar, he is as normal, approachable and friendly as a person could be. A guy you definitely want to hang out with over a beer or a burger. I truly admire MJW for his attitude that is so full of humility, a rare trait to be found in people nowadays, not necessarily movie stars.
@@CYB3R2K Perhaps. Though he is surely not an actor on the level of, say, Leonardo di Caprio or Denzel Washington, but in his respective field he is one the very best ones and that's what I meant.
Humility isn’t really that hard to find so long as you’re consciously surrounding yourself with the right people
Hollywood can’t control him
@@ElusivemiasmaHollywood would get knocked out by a Michael Jai White lead backfist. "How would he do that, Hollywood is a concept, not a person?" I'm confident that he'd make it work.
Unless you're a jogger running near him
Jesse has such infectious positivity and a humble heart. Even though he's not in any major films I think he'd be the best good guy in any film.
You’re too kind 😇
yes and if he didn't smile he could be psycho killer, the kind that stabs you only once and slowly and stays to warch you bleed to death while looking in your eyes with a baby's look
Lol
I dont have any proof but i get the feeling he has some sick and twisted fantasies. Too nice to be real
@Jesse Enkamp your a amazing person you inspired me to start really training my karate and your kindness truly is contagious
Jesse, my son is very much into martial arts and he told me he watches your videos so I came here to check you out. I think you are are a great role model and the knowledge you give your audiences can be used in throughout life and not just martial arts. Thank you for contributing to the world in a positive way. You should be proud.
Much Respect ❤❤❤❤. I'm 54, ive been a martial artist for 37yrs. Michael has EXCELLENT TECHNIQUE..
My sister grew up with me and 3 other brothers. She became a master of the untelegraphed attack. Ear yank, foot stomp, and backhand slap to the gut were her favorites. We weren't surprised at all when she enlisted in the Marines. Actually, we were kind of relieved.
Props to your sis, and props to you and your brother's too. Siblings preparing each other for the future is great!
Krav maga!!!! (Simpson Girl)
That's genuinely awesome
Weren't you a little worried for the Marines? 😲
@@guarddog318 I was gonna say! Marines are tough and all that, but little sisters are something else 😮💨
The fact that, regardless of his own experience, Jesse is always genuinely excited to learn from others is his greatest strength. We should all be able to follow his example there.
Thanks for your kind words Lesley 🙏
@@KARATEbyJesse You’ve earned them. You’re one of the most genuine people on this platform and your videos are always a joy to watch. Keep up the great work!
Michael, like many of his peers hasn't let his skills go to his head. I love the fact that he emphasises saying "I learned".
MJW seems like such an awesome human being, I'm such a fan of his. Loved every part of this. Maybe a series? 🤞
I definitely think MJW is going to be considered a legend in years to come. His attitude and professionalism is spot on very respectful and passionate about martial arts.
Well said Kevin!
What???? He is already a legend!!!
Mjw, and bas rutten, plus a talented pupil, would equal belts. They both have a straight up gift for instruction
I completely agree!
He already is, idk about u n yo community but to blk ppl n martial arts fans he already is
Michael Jai white is actually telling us the fighting scenes we see in movies are predictable and we don’t really replicate them in reality and demonstrating that. I love this!
I absolutely LOVED that. I really appreciate how down to earth and humorous you both are. Thank you for your great skill and talent as karateka and entertainers, Sirs!
Awesome video! Love the skits and how well you shot! Michael Jai White is pretty awesome for doing those skits and selling them so well. Seems like a really cool guy.
I saw Michael teaching this punch years ago to Kimbo slice, what a great martial artist he is, humble and respectful but clearly very powerful too. Michael and Scott Adkins should have had more spotlight for bigger martial arts movie roles, preferably together on the same side. Both of them are hugely underrated and are very talented and committed to their craft.
👍👍👍
Scott Adkins should've been in a batman movie years ago 😔
That’s point fighting IQ … when you get good you meet ppl who know all the basic strikes, faints, baits and combo’s … then you’ll find the creative ones who have a trick they mastered and they can score a point with twice a bout. I loved the Uraken myself … twist your hip to telegraph a kick, sell it on the 2nd and go top with the uraken 😅 As GSP said overload their nerves system
@@lancerobinson9097 I agree, Scott as Batman, and MJW as Bronze Tiger would've been 🔥!
They are the best
I was lucky enough to meet MJW at a convention a few years ago, really nice guy, once we got started talking martial arts, I never wanted to stop, the dude is like a walking encyclopedia of knowledge, yet he was so humble and friendly.
Very cool!
Cap
@@jetrifle4209 what's cap?
@@beastgamer3113 he is saying he doesnt believe it, lol
@@jetrifle4209stay mad
MJW is a really chilled out guy what a great joy to watch both of you.
Hands down the best Karate Nerd video yet. Strong practical and video-friendly tips, plus two genuinely good-natured guys having all the fun!
Our pleasure! 😄
I agree it was fun and entertaining plus some good info
What a gentle person, not tryint to play the alpha, just a guy that truly enjoys teaching others
I always loved Michael…no one is so down to earth as he is. What a cool dude. Not only in the movies. He is a hero to me ❤
Love this video. All Michael Jai White's appearances are so down-to-earth. It's crazy how many of the toughest actors are actually the nicest guys.
Michael: "Your eyes will LIE" Jesse: "I see". That unintentional one got me unnecessarily hard lol
Also, WAIT A SECOND, was that Arnold Chon jumping his battery?!?! I'm serious.
Michael Jai White is such a legit real life badass. He's also a great teacher, smart and a great actor. Love his films 10/10 🤜🏾🤛🏾
Seems impossible to dislike these two.
After watching him in several interviews, he really does seem like a down to earth guy. Not a person with an overly inflated sense of worth.
He is Bruce Lee hater and has no idea about fighting
@@Cano644 I have only seen a few interviews with him speaking about JKD being flawed on the organizational level due to their being no centralized organization, basically becoming a general use term instead of a defined method with structured lineage and oversight. Did he ever say anything directly bad about Bruce Lee though?
A bruce lee hater but literally adapting bruce lee's fighting principle..want to prove himself better than lee but actually his fight principles are originally bruce lee's fighting method.
I love MJW. He has such an imposing presence on the screen and really knows how to sell the "don't F with me" look. I gotta say though, I've never seen him outside movies so it's really weird seeing him being so nice! lol
Hands down the greatest action/martial artist! Great bloke. He should have been bigger than any of his contemporaries. He seems like a lovely bloke in every aspect. A real role model. It just goes to show what a great guy he is by doing this video, really funny, genuine and not afraid to send himself up, wonderful!
I genuinely laughed when Michael said Undisputed. I really loved him in the second one, he was incredibly entertaining in that film.
His non-telegraphing skills are always so great to see
It's a great point about what works on screen and what doesn't. John Wayne was a mentor of a lot younger actors in brawls during films. That's why Wayne always reached way back, balled up his fist and displayed a huge telegraphed punch to include the audience. A perfect example is good old school proffessional wrestling. It's designed to emotionally put you right in the ring with whatever character that your connected to via the storyline. I like the fact that both people in this video have good sense of humor and incorporated it, very good! 👍
Anyone who can’t admit Jai White is legit doesn’t know real fighters when they see them
I always liked Michael. Thought he shoulda been an even bigger action star. Great how White explains the difference between the show kicks and punches in a movie, and what would be practical for self defense! Jesse is very good at working w/ someone else. Not everyone can do that.
He still lives people to think he could compete and win an MMA fight.
He isn't as obnoxious or arrogant as many but he still likes people to believe he could beat real fighters
@@emilegriffith1473 cuz he could
@@gabrielrae7647 he could compete and probably win actual mixed rules fights BUT against people with no experience at all or very little. But he's not even coming CLOSE to beating any sort of experienced MMA fighter
Unless of course someone pulls a knife or a gun on you
Jesse playing the "hood" character almost killed me! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've watched a bunch of your videos, but this one was by far the best. I had to subscribe. Great great video
He talks about fighting as Neil Degrasse Tyson talks about Astrophysics. So much enthusiam and love for the art. I love him so much.
The enthusiasm from Michael is so infectious. Seems like a great man!
That tip about chambering the leg just before engaging the hip is great. I had that realization years ago and it greatly improved my kicking. Also, Black Dynamite is a classic.
I swear the leg chambering is so important!! I heard jcvd talk about this on an old interview
Jon Jones has been spamming that move his whole career
What a great video! You are the best Jesse! I grew up with Martial arts am a black belt in Modern Arnis, and my son is black belt in Shotokan. Neither of us still practicing but I am still an avid enthusiast! Love all of your videos,
Not only is Micheal a beast and super underrated, he also seems like a legit nice guy.
Such a treat to see this Jesse! Michael Jai White is such a legit martial artist in and out. I love that he's super serious about his love for the art but he's also willing to play around and have a good time. Quite a difference of personality here compared to a lot of his interviews where he's very serious. It seems like both of you had a great time together filming and hanging around.
He’s one of a kind!!
Michael Jai White’s performance in Blood and Bone is incredible. The fluidity in his athletic movements is really something to marvel at especially the opening and last fight scene in that movie. Much love and appreciation for you MJW Thanks for sharing your talent with the world
Was that the prison movie clip that they showed?
@@carolinaman7315 yes and it’s definitely worth checking out 👍🏽
@@carolinaman7315 yes
@@nodnarb5I appreciate it. that looked like a really good movie. I'll have to check that out
Meh
You're two legends! You're two authentic representations of what martial arts are.
The way MJW talks and teaches. He does it in a way where you can feel his experience flowing througg your head. It's awesome.
I don’t think I’ve ever clicked a video faster
Speed kills 😎💥👍
I really hope you guys can do a part 2 together, where you guys can hit the gym and MJW can talk about his gym routine! I also LOVE hearing MJW spread his martial arts knowledge, he is so intelligent! Thank you Jessie, you've made my day!
Great idea!!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Had me laughing my ass off. Jesse is the sweetest guy in martial arts, his vids rule.
Michael has always been one of my favorite actors. This.....just makes me love him even more.
I like how we glorify choreography over skills and accomplishments. Its definitely a sign of the times.
Seeing MJW so happy for Jesse's first shot is so wholesome Also, good on Jesse for the trigger discipline, assuming Michael taught him
I wasn't surprised that Jesse would shoot that well; impressed, but not surprised. His control of his body and his breathing would give him a massive edge. I don't know if Sensei Seth or Wonderboy shoot, but they'd probably be very good for noobs, too. Hashtag karate gang.
I love this. Michael Jai White always seems like a genuinely good dude. I feel like he rarely gets enough credit for his skill by the average person but real fighters know he's legit.
Absolutely right on all counts!!
He is massively underrated, it is clear.
I never heard him speak outside of acting. It's crazy how knowledgeable he is about real combat as well translating combat to film.
@@adabsurdum5905 Yeah, he's got numerous black belts in different disciplines and been a stunt man and actor for many years. Very well spoken too.
This is the kind of content that KZhead is for. Quality, fun and teaching at the same time
This is one of your best videos yet, I hope you had fun making it!
Michael is such a chill guy, whenever I see him he's always so humble.
This is amazing! Great to see two excellent martial artists showing us how it's done. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙏
🔥🔥🔥🔥
One of the most beautiful videos that Jesse brought for us to ever watch. What a humour and bond💝Really can't appreciate it enough❤❤
Too cool to interview Michael Jai White like this! Bravo!
Dude is a natural warrior, comedian, and teacher. A true legend.
This is digital gold. MJW is a pure legend.
So humble of an individual, great actor and martial artist! (Both of you!)
Well done Jesse and Spawn! Great video. Very insightful and cool 🥋💪👍
I met MJW once and was surprised at how shy and soft-spoken he was in person. Funnily enough, he reminded me of Bolo Yangtze, another humble giant man, back in his prime. But their expertise in both stage and true combat is legendary. Oh, and Sensei Jesse; Marksmanship is a martial art.
Cap
I love being reminded of MJW. Not only is he a martial arts genius, he's also impeccable with comedic timing. Thanks for sharing, Jesse.
This is still one of my favorite videos, awesome stuff!
very good video! I saw almost all of MIchael Jai White's films when I was a child, without a doubt a great teacher, his techniques will remain forever in the cinema and in my book! greetings!
He has a very high fight IQ and a sharp eye for details like a fighter's rhythm. Although most people can attest to the importance of not telegraphing your strikes, I found his explanation of people not being able to judge distance from the front pretty eye opening, and it makes sense when you start to think of taillights in the back of cars for example. Also, engaging the hips at the last second really helps you understand how to both train for and apply the concept in your training, since most fighters' muscle memory is already adapted to doing the opposite. Edit: spelling
If you are old or you have injuries in ur shoulders, dont use that way of punching, It's like doing benchpress badly, u gonna suffer later.
I've already made low-budget films here in Brazil, the question of telegraphing the blows is fundamental. Wonderful scene of him hiding the attacks to explain the difference between reality and the movie!
Cool!
That's awesome man
Loved this. I also loved the silat video. I will definitely be finding a way to learn that and maybe do some content with it. ❤
Michael seems like a real genuine nice man, he seems like he's very down to earth especially being famous and wealthy, but I am actually impressed and very glad to see someone like him being a "real" person..
Its always awesome seeing content that no one asks for but everyone wants to see. You keep surprising us with these unexpected crossovers.
This may be the best video you've ever done! That accent, the shooting, the tips from Jai, the skit, the fight. Just golden.
Thank you!!
michael jai white is 56 and still has the agility of a 20 year old and this dude has not aged in 2 decades wow
Awesome video, thanks. It is cool to see how down to earth Mr. White is!
I feel like Mr. White is the most under rated martial artist of all time. His technique is crisper than Sunday morning's toast
He also is a former special education teacher
@@tashadent150I didn't know that 😮 my respect for him just went up even more. 🫡
Man does kyokushin so you know he's about those hands But he is also just a super nice muscle bound giant
My wife outshot me her first time shooting. I'm a law enforcement and military veteran with Expert medals. It was embarrassing, but I was proud of her as well. I know she has MY back. lol. P.S. I love how down-to-Earth Mr. White is. I have always wanted to meet him. Thanks for sharing!
Maybe your wife is a secret agent or something 😂
Mine too. I've been in the industry for multiple decades. My wife was anti gun so I took her to the range where she proceeded to show me skills that neither of us knew she had. Shes not anti gun anymore.
Women shoot better than men statically. They get back on target faster because they are a smaller lever to push, as they are usually shorter.
What a great video with MJW. That fight scene and the ending was entertaining and funny. Thanks for sharing.
RIGHT ON! I'm 53, MMA Combat Ready, weapons, tactics, and learning as much as possible all the time! Wrestling, Boxing, Martial Arts, Guns, Ammo, Explosives, traps, modern and ancient weapon use, swords, knives, etc. Love it since 8 years old. Veteran, Jr. Asst. Scoutmaster, and Native American Genocide Survivor! Still here after many deadly encounters with people, but fun as hell too, and still here, because old warriors don't get old being stupid, lol, Awesome and THANK YOU for the share. Fantastic video! 👣🦅🚣🏿♂️🏹🔥🔥🔥🤗🇺🇸
The concept he's explaining at 4:00 also appears very often in HEMA. In European swordsmanship, one very common theme is that the hands move before any other part of the body, be it the hips or shoulders or legs or anything. By initiating the actual attack itself (even just milliseconds) before putting the rest of your body into it, you can cut down telegraphing by a mountain. It's always funny how much all martial arts share in basic body mechanics.
Cool!
Yeah its very interesting. I had teachers both in Wing Chun and Boxing teaching this, what can be difficult though is to apply it with as much force, as its generally easier to develop force if you make use of your body momentum first. Thats one of the reasons why many teachers of Wing Chun emphasizes many strikes, especially on weak/critical points, using before mentioned principal.
so funny seeing this comment. HEMA is what lead me to be interested in martial arts as a whole, trying to take elements from all styles and blend it into my fencing. i found one of sensei seth's videos on the subject which lead over to jesse. love when i see someone in the squad being the camera man for other people too. it's like a little cinematic universe easter egg.
It’s crazy how many martial arts teach the same things in a different way
Almost like we're all bi-pedal humanoids or something
The fact that MJW can punch and kick at that insane speed with such an insane amount of muscle mass is insane
And at 53. Damn man.
@@thatindiandude4602 55*
That was awesome! Loving the sense of humor and how down to earth you both are at heart. ❤️🙏🙂
Glad you enjoyed it!
Such a well spoken & physically skilled guy, loved his performances in lots of movies.
I’m so jealous you got to hang out with Michael Jay white. I’ve admired the guy since my teens. He’s an incredible martial artist. I have to say - of all martial arts guys I know of, he’s probably one of the ones I’d hate to fight.
This is one of the most fun wholesome Martial Arts video ever, Michael Jae White is definitely a Martial Arts Master with all that knowledge, he even taught Jesse Gun-Fu at the end and he's a natural.
This is incredible.
A true martial artist. Got to know him in Exit Wounds, back in 2001. A fan since then.
So I was waiting for like two months, thinking that Jesse Sensei has forgotten about us, and then he brings us this gem... one word: YES!!! Keep up the good work!!! :D
Love both of these guys. Class acts, and two of the nicest guys you'll ever meet.
i loved this so much its wholesome! thank you for this whole video.
the “but I was in that movie” part had me dying 😂. Hope you’ll make more videos like this one inviting special guests
Michael is one of the nicest guys I've ever met. Honestly don't know how he is not a bigger star in Hollywood. He has a great personality he can act he sincere and he can pull off even the craziest fights. So glad you and him you and him hooked up.
Because he is a genuine dude that doesn't suck cock or do politics.
With every move he makes, and the words he speaks, you can see class. Absolute legend.
Turning the hips AFTER the punch is remarkable simple yet never thought of. What an awesome suggestion. That and the half way punch kick follow through with the punch is just awesome. Thank you for the video! One day I hope to meet / train under MJW!
You are so welcome Brian!
