Kimbo Slice Breakdown - Lead With Your Weapon

[@BoltUpright190]

This is exactly what Bruce was trying to tell us 50 yrs ago. In fact, Michael reminds me of Bruce in the way he intellectualizes combat. Kudos Sir.

[@ajatasatru1]

Yup, i think the same thing

[@gabrieltoledo56]

Yeah man, Bruce took this aspect from the Wing Chun essence, straight forward, dont wasting time, energy and distance. Basically from any position that your hands are, you just throw them to your target

[@jason7638]

Yeah I like how he processes his thoughts through his teaching. Deep thinker. I always like that. Not shallow. And if you can follow him deep you will learn. I would have loved to be one of Bruce Lee students. And i would love it if I had the honor and pleasure to be this brothers student right now.

[@jason7638]

It had to be some honor and pleasure to learn from Bruce himself.

[@jason7638]

That's my kind of teacher. There was only 1 Bruce. So rare to find anyone even close to how he was.

[@MrTheil]

Rip Kimbo

[@MokaneMalone-z2d]

where's Kimbo??

"Precision beats power and timing beats speed" - Conor McGregor after beating Jose Aldo Thank you for this lesson Mr. White.......

[@imankhan1999]

Dagestani smashing beats left hand when the eagle is hungry

[@marcleon1513]

GT Thomas Yes, but how do you beat a Russian wrestler? What Conor quote do you have for that?

[@kianhughes6309]

Marc Leon Why are you guys still stuck up on that? Loads of people have lost to Khabib, even Porier lost to Khabib after the McGregor loss, so why keep bringing the McGregor loss up?

[@marcleon1513]

Kian Hughes What makes Conor so different than all of the other arrogant fighters who talk shit and get his ass handed to them? Are you mad because a white man is getting black man treatment. If Conor were black would you care if anyone keep bringing up his beat down ala Khabib? I don’t think so and let me guess I’m “playing the race card”. Not really, I just want you to stop bullshiting and tell your truth. If Conor were a black bastard you wouldn’t give a damn.

[@brutusbrabo]

Precision doesn’t beat power, it increases it

[@youman6334]

You’re a real legend micheal, we appreciate you, you take time out of your day, to show us your passion , thank YOU Michael

[@random4969]

Michael is my virtual and online mentor and he don't even know it 😁

[@youman6334]

Same bro,

[@SonGoku-jc3ny]

This is amazing. I'm actually learning something that is truly factual. Michael Jai White is the real deal.

[@uncharted7againblackking256]

That's right goku

[@Kitchwamon]

Its wild how simple this is but how much of a big difference this simple technique makes

[@doom23killer3]

In my opinion, you truly are one of the greatest fighters and martial artists in the world, I WISH I could train with you in person

[@marcuswrayboi]

doom23 killer You can I think it’s like $1200

[@Kyler_951]

Are you guys expecting him to fly you out to him? I see so many of these comments, I WISH I could train with you Michael... Yeah we all would LOVE to train with him... Idk

[@doom23killer3]

Never said anything about expecting him to fly me out there, I was just saying I wish I could. It would be amazing to be able to train with one of the greatest martial artists out there and someone who I look up to as a martial artist. I know I’ll never have the opportunity too, that’s why it’s just wishful thinking...that’s all

[@habibhussain1808]

@@doom23killer3 well guess what, I'm one of his financial advisors and we are flying you out for FREE TO STAY WITH MICHAEL THE LEGEND HIMSELF

[@BruceLeroyUK]

Habib Hussain 🤣🤣🤣

[@sesimie]

I did not realize i did this. In my 2 tournaments (Shotokan Karate) I won with simple jab to the face and i found out no one could block it. It was not powerful but i consistently scored. I thought i was doing something wrong since i was not turning my shoulders. After a few scuffles against bullies i used this jab with finger extensions to make opponents cover up their face. The simple non telegraphed Jab changed the game and probably saved my life.

[@shannonallaround9490]

Sesimie StreetFighter nice

[@casparbosch5615]

Jon jones style😂. Good job though💪

[@raunakukil8386]

Awesome....there is s big difference truly in tournaments with referees n street fights where there are no rules...so body movement analysis is very crucial and can help a lot in most scenarios if not 100%

[@sesimie]

@Samuel Prime Indeed...when i was in my JKD phase it was all about low leg kicks for entry and making strikers put weight on their back foot. This was in the early 90's and high kicks were all the rage. No one knew low leg kick defense. Low kicks are also great for setting up grappling takedowns after you distract with jabs and feints. I'm not a fan of high kicks since a lot of my opponents thought they could kick me to show off for the crowd.

[@bobstern8301]

Good luck bro

Wow I didn't know that this movie star had a youtube channel, I love this! He really teaches with passion.

[@llerej.]

My Grandfather always said, “the fastest way to get to any point is to go straight there.” Lead with the weapon Amen to that MJW. God bless!

[@aznpholyfe6693]

bro you are such a humble dude and you really no your stuff man. keep being your martial way. totally makes sense what you are saying to about leading with weapon and momentum and telegraphing vs not

[@paulconrad6220]

I don't know anything about unarmed fighting, but as a fencer, this makes total sense.

[@GraeBurton]

In terms of landing your weapon. This is a master class. Michael Jai White is my new spirit animal. And You sir are a great actor too. Many thanks.

[@Aro2001]

I remember you mentioning that story with Kimbo Slice and just that changed the way I was training my hand strikes.

[@thegloriousquran1208]

3:32 Wow man i really admire that it is so hard to do

[@kristopherwilkes5852]

I like how they just drop into convo from time to time...passion.

[@HulkVahkiin]

I actually learned from this. Thank you MJW, you truly are a legend.

[@ThisIsMajor1659]

I’m gonna watch this another thousand times, but this already helped me adjust my kickboxing sparring style. I’m 6 ft 3 with long limbs and this just makes sense.

[@danadane2501]

This clarified so many of the mistakes I've made in sparing from years past. Thanks much sir.

im not a professional or even an amateur fighter but i understood everything you said about leading with your weapon👌🏻 respect 💯

[@reywissler]

Thank You expanding on this concept! This was a mind blower when watched the original video ( I have referenced it in my Gracie Jiu-Jitsu class many times), I appreciate the expanded detail.

[@XxKiraxX2009]

You never disappoint man.

[@cbrown610]

Wow. I never realized how much telegraphing was a handicap. So much to learn; this was a great bit of instruction.

[@jahexcellence623]

Love from the bahamas!!! Seeing one of my fellow Bahamians make it to have a quick in person lesson from Mr. White proves the sky is the Limit. You are Motivation and Inspiration Spliced! (and I'm not even a fighter and kick dudes ass with your disciplines.) Looking forward for more content.

[@b1akn3ss93]

A lot of people seem to forget you can strike while stepping backwards too (Look up Ali’s phantom punch)

[@slicktop2jz855]

RIP Kimbo 👊

Where's Kimbo? Why isn't he here??

[@uncharted7againblackking256]

Yea nuff said jai fr fr this the video everyone's been waiting on even though I grasped when u did it with kimbo

[@ispartacus1337]

Wow I never would have noticed but if you go back and watch Freddy Roach on mits he 100% changed how he holds them. Watch old Manny compared to new. Its night and day. Manny is really good at not telegraphing his punches but on mits you could see who was leading. Doing that could become a hard habit to break. MJW's fighter IQ is out of this world.

[@mritchie85]

Very interesting points here, the padwork inadvertently teaching fighters to telegraph is especially poignant too, something trainers need to think about.

[@charlespackwood2055]

when you go to guns outside the pocket, you have to have timing: ie. the extension of the arm must be completed a millisecond after bodily contact within the pocket. this means that you have to have three things absolutely down: 1. the range of your reach 2. the distance of the target 3. the timing for the closing velocity (entering the pocket & being at proper striking distance)

[@spier9343]

Rip kimbo..MJ white is the best online teacher..and actor of course!

"Form and technique before speed and power".

[@KarboneWolfoxide2]

[@tapsirusaccoh3286]

The best martial art master ever

[@scholageemusic9373]

The only thing that confuses me with the punches like these is that A power punch usually is thrown with your body or hips but when he does these jabs hes not using the body or hips but it works.

[@ninja51ify]

No power in Punch, but if you're Heavy Handed you will feel something , but not as hard as a Punch using body weight, could follow up with Power Punch next

[@maxprimemalick7972]

🔥 Awesome video !!!

Another good video. Love how u break things down. It gives us a better understanding, at least in my opinion. Keep the vids coming. 👍🏼✌🏼RIP Kimbo! Respect.

Osu! Thanks for the lesson, both of you are true warriors.

[@panamacitystumpremoval6427]

I just found you on your movie Blood and Bone with an excellent job what an excellent movie it was so refreshing to see people actually fall down quickly when hit rather than take a hundred punches that would normally knock people out with one. One of the best probably the best fighting movie I've seen

[@tarungurraiya8748]

Thanks for sharing precious gift

[@SupermanEst-ju4ii]

I'm taking from this basically when you decide "I'm in the fight, I'm ALL in to Win" and when you're "I'm getting out of the box, I don't want to fight" it's the difference of Attack vs Defense. The body shouldn't be dancing as it's NOT fighting but the hands are. Like a gun doesn't kill but the bullets hitting do. Maybe 🤔

[@i8874]

R.I.P. Kimbo👑 🐐😢💯🙏

[@gullyboss100]

Question how do you throw the uppercut like that without loading the uppercut. Also can you do the same with front side and tiger toe kicks

[@TaxTaxMouravi]

Bey Hondo Tau Gold 13™ do the same so do the weapon first then the body you’ll realize it and get good at it

[@gullyboss100]

Saba gogishvili with a bow staff or or sword and how bout when I’m throwing the uppercut form my guard or cover

[@TaxTaxMouravi]

Bey Hondo Tau Gold 13™ from that u have to lower yourself

[@milesmungo]

Study people like Tyson. You can hide the 'wind up' of the uppercut with your body movement. Without loading it up you will lose power, but you can hide the telegraph by moving. Tyson might throw a jab where he feints to his right, moving forward, doing down a bit. From that position the right uppercut is fully loaded. The opponent doesn't know if you're going to feint to the other side, throw a straight, etc. Hope that makes sense!

[@gullyboss100]

Saba gogishvili and what weapon would recommend to use to train my body with

[@AusJoe63]

Hello, loving your wisdom and videos... my question is... From what I've been taught and from what I've read over the years, most punches starts at your feet and finishes with the strike so wouldn't you consider that foot movement a lead and would you loose power if you try and stop that movement.

[@mathieujolliff951]

I don’t understand what’s so hard about understanding that. You explained it clearly in your first video on it. Not calling anyone stupid but listening is a very difficult art

[@clydegreenehaywoodco]

This is an awesome video now I completely understand the Kimbo video I understand most of it but their we're parts I didn't understand and other parts that I didn't realize I didn't understand

I mean what can I say that hasn’t already been said to you.. Lol love you man you’re a Genius and a HUGE role model peace and prosperity to you Great Brother

[@saltdroid]

This is invaluable information

[@kellycote9561]

I was so depressed when I started watching this movie and in the opening scene I literally jumped out of my chair and was like eff yeah

[@charleskey6340]

Good shit. I’m tryna figure how to implement this. Preciate the info. Any break down of this simple yet effective way be appreciated

[@jakesteed9015]

Im watching all ya videos while working out..i need more new ones..im halfway done

[@Win94ae]

That was the way I was taught, some people just don't get it. Loved Kimbo's street fights!

[@antonioguerrero8567]

Amazing in teaching... I easily understood. A great teacher... 😏🙏

Rest in peace kimbo

[@sunofsotep8265]

This is actually really brilliant stuff.

[@pereirahelder2855]

Great movie. I hope see you in the Blood and Bone 2, maybe you can direct it.

[@oemmai2184]

Mr. Jai White... its all over you my friend. You REALLY want to test your skills against/expose UFC fighters sooooo bad!!! Its obvious brother :D. Trust, many fighters saw the "holes" in Mcgregors game (after the Marcus Brimmage fight). Keep the vids coming!

[@Cloppa2000]

This is an absolute gold nugget! But I have real trouble leading with the weapon and getting my body weight behind it cos the weapion hits too fast! I'm not ready for it myself!!! Could you please give some more demonstrations of jabs hooks and crosses with foot movement of how this can be done? If I try to hook like you did with no preparation it feels so weak! Thanks for sharing your knowledge here.

[@defyingtheodds1987]

Damn! I never noticed this. This explain a boxers jab. I’ve always wondered why they never lean into their jabs. But they’re always landing when they just lead with their punch

[@pootypotputt]

@9:19 canelo fans always love to give the excuse: early in his career But no one was saying that when that fight got made. Plus, having 40 fights under your belt is not early by any stretch of the imagination. So not trying to hear that bs anymore

[@chrishooper8260]

He is amuch better fighter then Mayweather now. If you cant see this you don't have much idea.

[@chrishooper8260]

I don't think alvarez ever gave an excuse. You've got some idea as Mayweather does he's the best. No where near the very best of the men of yesteryear.

[@ainoge9040]

Yea dude tried to bail Canelo out. Canelo was prime oh and Money May would still beat em same way. What's wrong with bull bro?

[@vk2963]

[@fiercepierce9048]

This guy made me stronger from watching him on movies and video thank you

[@IdrisIbnAbdillah]

This is why in wing chun your taught not to throw with your shoulder but drive from your elbow and dont display with your shoulder at all.

[@dombalscher8031]

Master..... you are a master.....

[@pneumonical]

to the mind it seems more like embodying a ufo teleportation rather than an airplane taking off, because all the speed and power emerges right at the destination and not at the start of the runway

[@oHelmy3131]

Always amazed by this... the logic and lesson is crystal clear "work on technique"... thank you sir. What's a good way to practice technique? Shadow punches for 10 minutes? Updated: is it even possible to practice this alone?

[@uncharted7againblackking256]

Bruce Lee: Yes......be water my friend
