[@chadwickreno8499]

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.

[@alanhirjak7287]

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.

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Cool!

[@charlesmellin6026]

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.

[@KickinItStudios]

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.

Not hard to understand at all. He's not willing to sell his soul and forsake his morals for it. For some people they're content where they are and could careless about all of the fame and fortune. Pretty simple.

They probably refused to take it in the a55 like many of their more famous overrated colleagues.

I was... Emotionally happy after this episode. You two had a crazy good chemistry. I would watch a full movie/show with you two. Next - Joe Rogan. I have a feeling it would be educational, funny, and scary.

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Thank you Jorge!! 😄

Not only is Micheal a beast and super underrated, he also seems like a legit nice guy.

[@beastgamer3113]

And people have the nerve to call this guy a Fake martial artist this man's a legend

[@OnlyThe1Son]

he isnt fake.. but he isnt a fighter like he thinks he is or wants to be considered.. he is a guy who TRAINED in martial arts.. and is an actor who uses martial arts in films he beats people up with kicks and punches in FILMS!!! he doesnt fight in the street , he doesnt fight in an arena, cage, or boxing ring.. FAKE? NO.. FIGHTER? NO! martial artist yes, like JCVD, well actually.. JCVD is a competitive martial artist, actually went into comps and won.. like JOE ROGAN!

[@mikejj697]

@@OnlyThe1Son so true. He's in L.A. so maybe he should visit Sifu Gary LAM or Sifu Emin Boztepe for a friendly sparring session. I really like MJW but he is a movie fighter.

[@SwaggyTdot]

@@OnlyThe1Son Michael jai white actually competed in many tournaments. You can easily find them by looking them up. Dude was an absolute beast as well.

[@rabbitshady499]

​@@OnlyThe1Son he never said he is a pro fighter, he said he could've been if he chose fighting over acting, but he makes more noney acting than fighting and it is less dangerous. And he did compete in real karate tournaments. So he is a legit. And he'd knock anyone who doesn't have a fighting background and some that might have a fighting experience as well. U don't have to be a pro fighter to be considered a fighter. Some fighters never fought professionally, yet they would beat some pros.

[@marksman16]

JCVD is a legit martial artist and fighter. He did tournaments/ competitions. He also trained in Ballet for speed & flexibility. Look it up. ''From 1976 to 1980, Van Damme compiled a record of 44 victories and 4 defeats in tournaments''

[@jackochan]

Love hearing MJW talking martial arts. Always dropping great knowledge

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Glad you enjoy it Kevin😀

[@EDZ7777]

MJW’s humility despite phenomenal martial arts capability, (he has reached instructor level in no fewer than 9, YES NINE, martial arts), is astonishing. He casually demonstrates techniques that would easily overwhelm a competent and experienced Karate Master, (in the guise of Jesse Enkamp), smiling and joking casually as he does so. O-Sensei White, we at the CKJU Kai salute you! OSS! 🙇🏽‍♂️ 🙇‍♀️ 🙇🏻

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! 👣🦅🚣🏿‍♂️🏹🔥🔥🔥🤗🇺🇸

[@jacobharris954]

Sorry to hear about your past bro

[@aa11ct9]

Being a fan of vintage martial arts cinema I wasn't familiar with him. The way he explains it so clear and simple demonstrates his dominion of the technique. This is amazing at so many levels

[@carlopoli9067]

Jai's teaching at 4:20 seems obvious, but it is exceptionally true and real: our eyes will never be able to assess the speed of a direct punch to the face, which is easier to be surprised by than hooks etc. I know Jai very well as actor and MMA fighter, though I did never expect him to also be such a skilled fighting teacher, easy to understand! Love you Jai🥰

[@Andrewnavarrete91]

Jesse was comedic and pretty good on camera with his acting. You just acted with a movie star and handled martial arts choreography so well. I hope you realize that, I’m in shock man, what can’t you do 😂👏

[@nounekuotsu2676]

With every move he makes, and the words he speaks, you can see class. Absolute legend.
