That's all they are stories, MJW talks like he's been there, and all the fight scenes in movies were, in fact real life 😂😂😂 Hell yeah did Van Damme stand on a motorcycle in real life like in hard target.......... movie martial arts isn't real fighting. Look at Matt Damon how good they made him look in Bourne Identity, Seagal is a REAL martial artist just because he chooses not to trash talk everyone and actually talks sense does that make him fake ?
@kimjongillest5995 That's because he is, so is MJW, JCVD, Jason statham in fact alot of movie stars are legit martial artists including Keanu Reeves, now Seagal holds a 7th dan in Akido........ not legit? He's studied the art 31 years, and that's after he originally got his black belt, so when people says he's no legit they clearly have no understanding about it at all............ just jumping on the Seagal is fat and useless band wagon following people like sheep, when you think about martial arts, Bruce Lee pops straight into everyone's minds but why argument states he wasn't a legit martial artist as he didn't hold any qualifications or belts.
Imagine; if people let an eloquent, thoughtful and honest person, like Micheal Jai White speak. I've been a huge fan of MJW since SPAWN. The man is a humble, living legend.
Michael Jai White would straight up send Seagal into the 7th dimension with one kick. To be honest, I still think Out for Justice and Under Siege are remote droppers, but the more I learn about Seagal.. he's like a cartoon character!
Anyone who thinks MJW cant fight doesn't know fighting or martial arts. His techniques are near flawless and his knowledge is insane. All martial artist and fighters who have worked with him have said he is legit. Also watch his youtube channel on fighting techniques. Absolutely insane. He smash Steven Seagal
I refused to go see the Black Panther when they didn't cast Michael Jai White. Then my wife reminded me he was old enough to be his dad so yeah... Still... he would have been awesome.
@@LostOneOmega Spawn was basically a CGI showcase when CGI was not commonly used but Spawn needs a sequel and not a remake. Alongside Batman, should've been a great series of movies. But on the other hand, which black actor would you use these days with the same presence as MJW?
I think when JCVD and Seagal were in their prime JCVD would have got thrown around like a child he is way to small and weak. JCVD also ran away from fights before when he got into trouble with a hells angel guy. Think Seagal is a idiot but back then he would have won any fight with JCVD.
We had a visiting Aikido instructor who when he called you up to demonstrate a technique for the whole class to watch would take the arm locks and wrist locks deeeeep into the red zone and then some. If you were lucky, you came away uninjured but you would be sore for days afterwards and sometimes need a timeout to work off the pain which had been inflicted. However as I was taught from day one, and whenever I trained with our resident instructors Sensei's and black-belt Shodans, or Nidans, when you tapped out, it is a signal that a pain threshold had been reached asking for release, and not a signal to bend the joint even further until something snaps. The essence of Aikido is NOT to injure or inflict pain, but to do enough to turn a disadvantaged situation to your advantage. The locks are designed to HOLD and control an assailant who by attempting to escape from the lock will find it painful to do so. There is no need to turn that into an opportunity to inflict pain as seems to be the case with Mr. Seagal.
We had a self proclaimed Akidio master come into our gym once and asked to demonstrate his style with ours (wrestling) he was on his back in under 10 seconds and our guy kept him pinned for 5 minutes. Akkido only works in demonstrations or against people who don't know how to fight. The second someone with a real background (Boxing, BJJ, Wrestling etc.) and it's all mixed together comes into play, he's dead.
Yeah, yeah. I briefly, had an Akido Master like that. He actually got confused how everyone left to join the Japanese Jujitsu dojo in the same complex.
You can't get a 10th degree in Taekwondo, only the korean boss of the WTF gets one, for all the others 9 is the highest. Its a special Title, just for the president of the association. A 5th grad is really high though, but can't find was Scott has. But he is a real martial artist.
As a life long practitioner of Aikido, I was warned 30 years ago (by guys doing stunt work) NOT to take a job with Segal because he deliberately hurts his Uke.
Michael Jai White is not a martial artist? Uh, someone please tell Steven Seagal that Michael holds black belts in 7 different martial arts disciplines; he's won something like 25+ tournament titles, including the US & North American open titles. If anyone is a martial artist, it's him...
Seagal is 20 years older. Stupid comparison. MJW would beat Norris because now he´s 84 years old but in his prime Norris would have destroyed MJW quite easily.
Seagal should play a spoof of the narrative of himself that he tries to live out anyway ...sort of like naked gun type comedy ..it would be a massive hit
Seagal doesn't have a sense of humor for that. Van Damme on the other hand made a short lived Amazon series, called "Jean Claude Van Johnson" where he makes fun of his action star image and it's hillarious. Sadly Amazon cancelled it after one short season.
@Katzenase just cause he doesn’t have a pro record doesn’t mean he couldn’t fuck up most people on the street compared to seagal who I would honestly give a 50 50 shot in a street fight against the average grown man around 35 ish, which I think is the debate here.
@@myleswhite9800 No one says he’s a pro fighter, but in the beginning of this interview the pro fighter across him himself, says MJW can fight and he would’ve done great as a pro fighter.
@@ricksterdrummer2170 no but he acts like he's on the same level as a pro fighter when he's just an actor. Love his movies, but he ain't a professional fighter, and he'll even admit to it. All those fighters he trained with would wipe the floor with him. Yes he said that, but he was only being nice. He knows Michael Jai White is not on his level. You must be another Michael Jai White fanboy lol.
@@ricksterdrummer2170nobody said he can’t fight but the facts he is not a real fighter bro and he is a martial artist with multiple karate black belts, actor and director. Idk if he do well in pro competition cuz Michael bisping mention that he might not be a good fighter in ufc cuz MJW out gas himself while sparring with bisping. So MJW basically saying that he is not a pro fighter but he can fight and is like saying Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan is not a pro fighter but they can fight too.
Everyone knows MJW is a humble respectful well spoken gentleman and a role model for black men and martial artists for a whole generation that kicks ass in movies even when he’s the bad guy
I think Seagal did that because he thought it would make people see him as a "real" martial artist and dangerous person. But it just makes him come off like an idiot and a bully.
There’s smt about this podcast, don’t know how to tell, the professionalism, the relaxed tone, the humility of the participants in spite of their insane pedigree… which makes me it my favorite mma podcast. Much love and respect from France.
Growing up i thought Seagal was a badass. As i got older and the internet came along. I quickly realized how much a piece of s that guy really is. Above the Law and Out For Justice are great films imo to this day. What a long and shitty career he had after that. He has nobody to blame, he seems like a genuine asshole
You know what a good storyline is Steven. He’s recruited to do something that insanely important and dangerous that nobody else is qualified or brave enough to do what’s necessary. But, the tricky part is past is a cloak of mystery and he leaves everyone questioning if they haven’t seen this movie a thousand times from him. He will stand with his arms arms, wearing a jacket or button up shirt resting on his belly staring down everyone while looking confused. Never got why anyone loved his movies because his fight scenes are boring and his acting is up there with Nicolas Cage.
’On Deadly Ground’ Danish actor Sven-Ole Thorsen was cast as one of the villain's. The following is from an interview Sven made to a Danish news paper. "One day Seagal asked me to kick him in the stomach. He wanted to see what I could do. “No, what do you mean?” I said. "Yeah," he replied, "kick me." I kicked out at him, but not very hard. He lifted my leg so that I fell on my ass in front of the others. It was embarrassing. He asked me to kick properly. I spent many years on my karate and didn't want to look like a tomboy. I did a quick kick, a Mae-Geri. You lift the knee up and throw the lower leg out like a slingshot. I hit him in the solar plexus, so he fell to his knees with tears in his eyes. 70-80 people stood and watched. They were completely silent. He was helped up." A few days later Sven was informed that his character was killed off in the movie and the rest of his scenes were scrubbed.
Now this is one of the best Seagal stories I’ve heard. What was he thinking? Thorsen is a beast. I knew Seagal couldn’t defend a proper kick. This is funnier than the Gene Lebell story.
@@justinbarnett9476 The Lebell story is quite funny as well. 💩🤣As a teenager in the early 90'ties Seagal was the ultimate badass. So finding out later in life, that he is pretty much a fraud/con artist and a petty excuse for a man to boot, was a shock to the system. 😳
There are recent vids of people training with him and it seems at times he takes the arm locks and sparring too far. I saw one where he locked a karate black belt while talking to the camera while the guy was furiously tapping his chest! 😅
His role in On Deadly Ground is hardly deep. Seagal flips a guy through the air who then bashes him to the floor. You’d do well to even spot Michael in the scene. On Deadly Ground was a decent action movie and better than its reputation.
James Lew is a great stuntman and martial artist ! I didn’t know he was one of the stuntman that was being a bit I’ll treated during his stunts with seagal !
I wish he would get that chance to be our Spawn now. I understand CGI wasn't that great back when. I think Todd McFarlane should reconsider Michael again!. He was great as spawn!. I would love to see "The Real Spawn" with today's awesome effects!. Mr. WHITE is Spawn, period!.
DMX said the same thing about Stephen I forget what movie they worked on but I've seen it years ago. He pretty much said in a nice way he didn't have any respect for Steven because of what he did to the stunt guys
One of my old coaches has family members that are stuntmen/movie extras & he told stories similar to what MJW is saying. He’d be incredibly rough with them. With new guys, he’d kick them in the nuts unprovoked to “test them.”
I see a lot of people atacking Steven Seagal,but if you only take a day to take a look at the videos about his way of teaching martial arts and people who trained under him,you would maybe understand why he is saying what he is saying about other martial artists.Training in Japan and everywhere else in the world is different and he was training under the masters from Japan under very strict rules and it was especially hard for a gaijin like him in that environment.That makes you a tough cookie and it takes a lot of discipline to develop skills under that stress.As far as his character goes,he comes off as akward and tough,but judging from the videos where he talks about his life and the way to stardom and everything else it takes a lot of balls to do what he did and we are talking about one of the greatest action movie stars on the planet who was in his prime in the 90s.I mean Above The Law is one of the greatest action movies ever.Right up there with Die Hard and Lethal Weapon along with Under Siege and Hard To Kill for example and Out For Justice ! I mean those are great movies.I recomend Viking Samurai channel ,he has a lot of content about action movie stars of that era,people who worked and trained with Seagal,so if you are interested,check it out.
You mean aikido masters in Japan were so hard. Aikido masters? Like father of Seagal's first wife? You really must try for critical thinking, Steven is proofed to be lier many times. Even about his family. His aikido is fine, but aikido with huge body will always be much better than the same aikido skills with small body. It is physics.
@@Shinbusan No,I meant his approach to aikido was different and you can clearly see that i his videos and demos and if he picked that up from Japan and clearly he has,good for him.Lied about what exactly ?What about his family ? What are you saying fried ? That is why we have weight categories in every combat sport in the world.Are you saying he is supposed to be a smaller person ? I dont follow ,haha
Seagal pioneered a style in action movies that hadn’t really been seen before. Can’t think of any other action stars that did. And everything he made with Warner was awesome.
Look at Van Damn and look at MJW. They both kept their bodies hard even in their older age MJW looks great for a dude his age. Seagal is softer than a marshmallow.
There was another story he told, about Seagal hurting people and some of the people on set wanted MJW to hurt him in their upcoming fight scene in a movie. Apparently it was the LAST THING being filmed, so the movie wouldn't have been ruined. I don't know if Steven got word of it or what but he was BARELY touching Jai White to the point where MJW said "Hey man. This is ridiculous. I'm not gonna hurt you. You can tap me, it's not a big deal. We have a scene to shoot." (I'm paraphrasing but that's what I remember from one of his interviews with Vlad.)
Steven Seagal has a history of hitting stuntmen hard rather than using the illusion of the camera to create the same effect. Mainly because he wanna maintain his no nonsense approach to fight scenes. But both MJW and JCV wouldn't play ball. Steven has injured a lot of stuntmen however there was one occasion of one stuntman who knocked him down twice after seeing what he was doing. I forget who that stuntman was
You have to read in between the lines.What Steven seagal really meant was that MJW wasn't intimidated by him.Fighters typically aren't scared of Martial artists.
You can never get sick of or run out of Steven Seagal stories.
You can´t deal with the truth, pal!
What makes me laugh more is to hear Michael talk about Steven Seagal beating the shit out of stuntmen.😂😂

There are recent vids of people training with him and it seems at times he takes the arm locks and sparring too far. I saw one where he locked a karate black belt while talking to the camera while the guy was furiously tapping his chest! 😅
chuck zito vs micheal jai white who would win ?
Damn Mike drop a excellent steven segal impression!
Michael Jai White is so cool. They did him dirty with Spawn.
His role in On Deadly Ground is hardly deep. Seagal flips a guy through the air who then bashes him to the floor. You’d do well to even spot Michael in the scene. On Deadly Ground was a decent action movie and better than its reputation.
James Lew is a great stuntman and martial artist ! I didn’t know he was one of the stuntman that was being a bit I’ll treated during his stunts with seagal !
This the same guy who said he can beat Jon Jones 💀
I have never seen anyone put a finger on this guy. He is THAT badass!
I'll take Michael Jai White and Van Damme over Seagal *ANY DAY!* 👍🏿
I wish he would get that chance to be our Spawn now. I understand CGI wasn't that great back when. I think Todd McFarlane should reconsider Michael again!. He was great as spawn!. I would love to see "The Real Spawn" with today's awesome effects!. Mr. WHITE is Spawn, period!.
DMX said the same thing about Stephen I forget what movie they worked on but I've seen it years ago. He pretty much said in a nice way he didn't have any respect for Steven because of what he did to the stunt guys
Probably Exit wounds, all 3 of them were in it
Exit wounds 2001 then he appeared in another movie with Steven Seagal in 2019
One of my old coaches has family members that are stuntmen/movie extras & he told stories similar to what MJW is saying. He’d be incredibly rough with them. With new guys, he’d kick them in the nuts unprovoked to “test them.”
If we can't trust an anonymous 3rd hand story from the internet, then what can we trust?
His segal impression 😂😂😂😂😂😂
HAPPY 57TH BIRTHDAY MICHAEL JAI WHITE !!!!
Michael Jai White is a man of integrity and character, and he is the real deal. He's a better actor than Steven as well. Black Dynamite Forever!
Its no wonder Steve denounced his citizenship to join Russia
MJW is one of my fav actors. He played such a good spawn
James Lew is the man! If you doubt me, just go watch Big Trouble in Little China.
I see a lot of people atacking Steven Seagal,but if you only take a day to take a look at the videos about his way of teaching martial arts and people who trained under him,you would maybe understand why he is saying what he is saying about other martial artists.Training in Japan and everywhere else in the world is different and he was training under the masters from Japan under very strict rules and it was especially hard for a gaijin like him in that environment.That makes you a tough cookie and it takes a lot of discipline to develop skills under that stress.As far as his character goes,he comes off as akward and tough,but judging from the videos where he talks about his life and the way to stardom and everything else it takes a lot of balls to do what he did and we are talking about one of the greatest action movie stars on the planet who was in his prime in the 90s.I mean Above The Law is one of the greatest action movies ever.Right up there with Die Hard and Lethal Weapon along with Under Siege and Hard To Kill for example and Out For Justice ! I mean those are great movies.I recomend Viking Samurai channel ,he has a lot of content about action movie stars of that era,people who worked and trained with Seagal,so if you are interested,check it out.
You mean aikido masters in Japan were so hard.
Aikido masters?
Like father of Seagal's first wife?
You really must try for critical thinking, Steven is proofed to be lier many times. Even about his family.
His aikido is fine, but aikido with huge body will always be much better than the same aikido skills with small body. It is physics.
@@Shinbusan No,I meant his approach to aikido was different and you can clearly see that i his videos and demos and if he picked that up from Japan and clearly he has,good for him.Lied about what exactly ?What about his family ? What are you saying fried ? That is why we have weight categories in every combat sport in the world.Are you saying he is supposed to be a smaller person ? I dont follow ,haha
Seagal pioneered a style in action movies that hadn’t really been seen before. Can’t think of any other action stars that did. And everything he made with Warner was awesome.
@@michaelmyers3709 Exactly right.His movies were great and he was a breath of fresh air for a good decade.
Steven Segal sounds like he was acting like a jackass. He might have needed an little attitude adjustment. Great video.
James Lew is awesome. He was great in Hot Shots 2 😄.
I watched Steve get throne all over the mat in by 9 Don Kenny Markie in 96
Dmx said the same thing about Segal hurting people purposefully.
Spawn will forever live in him
Sensei Seagal just showed up at Vladimir Putler's sad parade in Moscow. He looked horrible.
3:50 The next day 🥱
That sounded like a Dave Chappell skit
Look at Van Damn and look at MJW. They both kept their bodies hard even in their older age MJW looks great for a dude his age. Seagal is softer than a marshmallow.
There was another story he told, about Seagal hurting people and some of the people on set wanted MJW to hurt him in their upcoming fight scene in a movie. Apparently it was the LAST THING being filmed, so the movie wouldn't have been ruined. I don't know if Steven got word of it or what but he was BARELY touching Jai White to the point where MJW said "Hey man. This is ridiculous. I'm not gonna hurt you. You can tap me, it's not a big deal. We have a scene to shoot." (I'm paraphrasing but that's what I remember from one of his interviews with Vlad.)
Kudos to Steven for not firing him tho
Yeah but steve role for jai is quite smart though
I want to know is what is that watch Michael Jai White is wearing?
MJW would stomp Stomp Steve...😅
Steven Seagal has a history of hitting stuntmen hard rather than using the illusion of the camera to create the same effect. Mainly because he wanna maintain his no nonsense approach to fight scenes. But both MJW and JCV wouldn't play ball.
Steven has injured a lot of stuntmen however there was one occasion of one stuntman who knocked him down twice after seeing what he was doing. I forget who that stuntman was
If mjw isnt a martial artist seagal should let him try that sidekick and see if bullshido can save his ribcage.
You have to read in between the lines.What Steven seagal really meant was that MJW wasn't intimidated by him.Fighters typically aren't scared of Martial artists.
DMX said the same thing on how he was purposely hurting people on set.
MJW is a great storyteller!
Tore someone's bicep is crazy 😂😅
