His net worth is 3.5 million. I don't think he needs the money, it's called investment. If the movie is good we the fans will pay to see it and he will make money. If the movie is trash then he doesn't deserve our money.
Gift of violence, that's a negative to look at it, yes he's known for street fights but his gift is martial arts, he could be good at number of things just based on his ability to listen & learn.

I think mjw will dead the first minutes fighting kimbo..and everybody who have been fight on the street know it..there's no dance or technique or whatsoever..the one who start that first punch and the one who doesnt understand fairfight will always thrive.
I woke up in hospital... Michael Jai explained how he put me there and then, sneakily put me back into a coma without me seeing it coming. Such a nice guy!
No doubt. I wish they would've fought in the cage for real. I know MJW is a gifted martial artist, but I would really like to see him tested. Take him into the deep water where he has to come back from adversity. Not every fight is going to be a walk over or a quick K.O.
@@brandonmcduffI would guess Kimbo became frustrated only because he likely never had anyone explain things like MJW did, or perhaps he fundamentally relied on strategies and techniques he learned only through the backyard / street brawls he earned money from and came up into the pro fighting world with. This kind of lesson was likely brand new to him. Almost everyone would likely become frustrated if they are now trying to learn something so seemingly simple, in a field they think they are experienced in.
Arguably, in order to achieve a certain level of skill, you need to have some experience in teaching. Teaching allows you to break down the techniques you've learned to perform almost instinctively back down to the fundamentals. And that allows you to refine your skills.
Kimbo is an amazzzzzing dude. I played ball with his son back in High School and he would always make it a point to come talk to me after the game and he was extremely polite and genuinely listened to the things I had to say.
Same man. Me and kimbo used to ball soccer in college man. We won both mvps of the entire usa. He became a pro mma fighta and i became one of the best american soccer players nia
Because he is an alien, he never came from earth so no humans grew up around him and no one on earth knows him. Get out of here with your stupid logic. Kimbo is just a person like every one else and knew plenty of people before he got famous and met plenty of people in his town just living.
In the very old days, being able to stand around someone dropping this wisdom was a gem in your life. Now everybody can watch it on TH-cam. There were whole schools of kung fu where nobody could do a punch that wasn't telegraphed.
Well… Kung Fu is not really fighting if you think about it. It‘s an art form and traditional. But in terms of real fighting? It‘s pretty much worthless. Chinese people themselves say it - it‘s just tradition.
@@OhCrxzeh Everything that isn't 'trying to kill someone else' is art form and traditional. Don't shoot for a takedown on someone who's willing to rip out your eyes. MMA competitors wear groin guards because those bouts would end right quick if you tried any of that crap without them. Kung-fu started as killing and turned to stylized crap because Confucian values really despise a fighting as a hobby. A man is supposed to have better things to do than look 'tough' and fight for money. Even so, you can still get all your teeth knocked out by a kung-fu master if you make a habit of assuming ALL kung-fu is garbage. These shitbird masters you see getting caned are the ones that take dumb challenges.
@@OhCrxzeh Do you know the ruleset at all? I mean AT ALL? Because the list of things you can't strike with, or do, is pretty damn long which means it's a SPORT. Please don't make a fool of yourself saying MMA is "real life combat", you get immediately disqualified and removed from the whole SPORT if you break the rules too often or too egregiously. Oh, and those choreographies with the crouching tiger? They're basically shadow-boxing rehearsal for attacks to the eyes, throat, small joints, groin, you know, all those things not allowed in SPORT martial arts.
@@xyaeiounn: do YOU realise why these „rules“ are there (Which they are by NOW by the way, in the UFC, where before there were pretty much no rules and no weightclasses when it started)? There‘s no eye-gauging, no attacking the genitals, maybe no 12-6 elbows. But that is pretty much it. The absolut basics of rules were applied, in order to have more entertaining and honorable fights. That still means EVERYTHING else is allowed. My main point is and was: MMA is multiple times more effective in a real fight, than Kung Fu. Do you really want to argue that? Just look up any KungFu master fighting against a trained MMA fighter. There you will find your answer.
It's more than that. It's specifically talking about not forming the habit boxers have of dropping the arm before launching a jab. Doesn't apply to hooks because you have to drop your shoulder/arm for an effective 'hook'.
@@KneeGrowDoingKneeGrowThings A) I love your name, and B) he’s also explaining the use of your body in general that I think 95% of people can’t grasp and think they can fight 😂. Knocking someone out on your back foot looks cool but there’s a lesson in here about kinetic energy that is just flawless and should be taught in any combat sport school ever
Michael seems like a phenomenal teacher. So many people who are at the very top % of their respective field, just don’t have the patience for it. He displays not only patience, but a genuine love for teaching others.
Michael jai white is talking a lot but never have we seen him compete. His record is an astounding 0-0. Just because you have the techniques etc doesn’t mean you can know how to fight against another martial artist with real experience
@McKurdi he spars with Lyoto Machido. Says Michael would have done well if he decided to go into MMA when he was younger the dude can grapple as well. He is also strong and fast. Why does everyone need to see him actually fight.
Kimbo Slice is really missed. He just was that guy that everybody liked. I'm so glad that he was able to be comfortable and make some money before his passing. His TH-cam videos of backyard fights was amazing. RIP Kimbo, gone way too soon.
@@Matt-hg2iz I was wrong. Ali died before kimbo and after harambe. All within about a week of each other back in 2016. I'm usually better with these things. Sorry man. RIP to all them legends.
This has nothing to do with the fight he was just saying how we'll say right and the person telling the story ain't even say anything. It went over your head
I always think it's such a shame that Kimbo wasn't picked up and trained from an early age, whether that's boxing or mma, he achieved a lot for a guy with no real formal training. He seemed to be one of those guys with a natural talent for combat, if that could have been nurtured he would have been a world champion at some point.
@The Lenny Show Like Francis Ngannou, the current HW Champ. He started training MMA at 26 and prior to that only had minor boxing experience. 9 years later he is the scariest man on the planet.
This is what we lose as a species by not nurturing each other. If Kimbo had the same opportunity as a middle class kid (doesn’t matter race or whatever) then we would all have benefited from watching a natural talent exceed human capacity. But alas, world is shit and like 25% of all girls don’t get to go to school and add their two cents to the solutions for the problems the world is facing. We suck and suffer for being a greedy species. Damn all this from a punching video lol. Enough internet for me lol
That's why a combination works if done right - and fast. The first punch distracts and gets the eyes to blink. Then before they even open again... POW! You have to throw the second punch at almost the same time... they won't see it. KO.
I always felt like he was underrated . That movie is one of my favorite movies. Honestly he should have done the Blade trilogies or even even though Wesley Snipes needed it .... So many movies I felt needed Michael Jai White
@@jslack8973 sorry man, I'm a huge spawn fan and the movie was a fucking disgrace. nothing against white, he did fine, but the movie was a steaming pile of crap. only good thing was the violator. I assume you didnt read the comic, other wise you wouldn't regard this as "one of my favorites". I highly recommend you read the comic (at least the first 50-100 issues) and come back ^^
@BiggestFoot even on its own merits it was trash. Also funny to tell me to stick to childish entertainment while the movie is pg and the comic way darker and brutal, but nice try.
Spawn was one of the worst movies ever, at least for Michael. I like Michael Jai White movies. They're fun and enjoyable to watch. Spawn, nooo. That's some PlayStation or DC stuff goin on. Not exciting
@@platinumicy1379 that was the first fight Mike fought, after being released. When you’re in prison, you’re not in a gentle mindset, you’re in survival mode, 24/7. Especially if you’re a boxer, cause everyone wants to see how their skills compare against yours. He was caged like an animal and Fought like one, Tyson is much gentler now.
Kimbo seemed like such a cool, humble dude. An absolute warrior, but also a man of honour and respect. You can hear it in his voice, the amount of respect he has as Michael is taking him through the technique. Hes listening and learning. He was taken far too soon. Respect brother. I will see you in Valhalla
That technique that MJW was teaching was absolutely spot-on, too. The moment I saw this clip YEEEARS ago, I immediately knew what Michael was going to teach Kimbo because of my own background. Ultimately, the fastest way between two points is a straight line, and if you don't want anyone to know an attack is coming, you obviously need to be as efficient as is possible. Measure, technique, timing. But "speed" can vary, obviously. :)
Valhalla? Taken far too soon? With respect, like every human being, Kimbo Slice returned to his Lord the Most High precisely when our Lord determined so. The Most Great created all things with predestination(qadr). As far as Valhalla, this is a lie about the after life and isn’t backed by any truthful trace of knowledge or scripture. Allah tells us that there is only Paradise and Hellfire, nothing else. The believers will have Paradise as a final abode while the disbelievers will have the Fire as a final abode. The Quran is the revelation from the Lord of the worlds. My channel has a playlist of the personal favorite Quran recitations in English translation for listeners. Check it out In Sha Allah( God-Willing) you’ll be overcome with awe with the speech of our Master. There’s no deity worthy of worship except Him in truth alone without equals or helpers. We have no sustainer or guardian other than Allah, the Most Merciful, who has made the path to His pleasure and eternal Paradise straight and clear. May Allah guide us all
It just goes to show that, whatever it is you’re doing in life there is always somebody more experienced than you that you can learn from if you are willing to be humble enough to listen
All wars are based on deception. " You must apply strategy to victory before declaring the actual war. The DECEPTION ( unpredictability/ speed) part is based on never to let your enemy know your main intentions nor your movements ( strategy ).
These comments are for needy people see them all the time ! Comantary of the video I’ve just watched ! Write a comment with some imagination or just stay needy for likes 👌
@@Agsneon wouldn't know, never seen him in a real fight...only that gay ass karate shit he promotes as more dangerous and brutal than boxing and mma...lol please.
The fact that a well known street fighter is willing to soak up knowledge, listen and learn from another man shows that no matter how good you are at something there's never not enough info and lessons you can learn. Keep bettering yourself!
Then you’re mislead. Boxers are taught to use a combination of power and speed. With 90000000 ounce gloves on the “knockout blow” won’t be a knockout blow, it’s a just a tap to the cheek bone if you ask me. He literally used no hip flexion to throw his “knockout blow”
Ratinglulz Gaming my point still stands. No matter how fast the punch is, if there’s no range of motion, hip flexion or power then you’re just tapping.
I met him in Las Vegas back in 2008 during a convention and despite his intimidating look, he was great with me and took care of other fans. I made sure never to forget that. "Worrying is like a rocking chair, you go back and forth, but never get anywhere." - Kimbo Slice He was The Street Fighter. RIP.
Michael Jai White is an absolute legend!!!! Such a beast yet incredibly humble and always willing to drop knowledge. Happy to say I’m from the same city as dude.
You talking about Bpt, CT., Baby.... I remember Mike being talked about around town back in the day. B4 he broke into the heave acting. There were even peps talking about him fighting Tyson. Glad he made outta there during that time. Alot of cats 🙏 RIP
A "legend" in what planet??? His movies are low budget films that NEVER EVER made it to mainstream for a reason!! his a legend in YOUR mind and a few of his hundreds of followers period!!! I've never heard any mixed martial artists talk about how "great" he is not even the mediocre ones! He can put that to rest if he just goes to Dana white and challenge any of his top guys in his weight class!!! Yet he won't do it, ever care to ask yourself that question ❓⁉️ I'll tell you why, cause his all talk and no actions !! It won't be like karate that goes by points. He should challenge Jon Jones who's on top of the world. Just one guy and he beats him, he will be considered a bad ass!! He won't do it though
@@ballsdeep1698 its better than dumb tick tok vids n ppl trying to be something they arent and drama(walking on crates n stupid shit) ... so id have to agree with his statement
He’s actually a pretty good teacher. I legit understood everything because he made it so simple and he condensed the information in such a way that I didn’t get lost/confused and everything just made perfect sense
I don't know the first thing about fighting, but I totally like the dynamics of what's happening here. Someone teaches a technique, but not from a know-it-all attitude and with a willingness to share. And others pay close attention, recognizing in all humility the value of what is being taught here, thus being teachable. There's a shared admiration here for useful techniques and an overall atmosphere of benevolence.
MJW not only giving an exceptional fight lessen but an exceptional life lesson. But Kimbos reaction after that third punch is absolute gold! Knowledge always beats power and that's what MJW shows in this vid. Thanks for the upload. 😊 RIP Kimbo.
For those of you asking "why are they in prison suits" - I was the cameraman. We'd all just broken out of prison and were hiding behind the trailers when we ran into Michael Jai White who was on his way to 7-11 when he saw us and tried to apprehend us. Kimbo talked him out of snitching and asked him to show us a few moves instead. The rest is history. RIP Kevin Ferguson "Kimbo Slice" you made waves when you came through this life. Goodbye, Brother.
You look like you just got out after serving 10 years of lifting weights and trying not to drop the soap. Now you gonna eat pizza and get fat until you get locked up again....
I remember seeing this video for the first time as a kid. The advice got stuck in my head. Now I'm training MMA and even though some guys in our gym might have better strike combinations, movement or ground game, no one can block or dodge my jab.
Wow. Talk about a master teaching the street fighter. It was amazing to see Kimbo suddenly realize he had a whole new dimension of fighting techniques to learn.
Adsum Nicholas huh?? Maybe Jackie Chan at best. Jim Kelly was the black Bruce Lee youngster. Now wipe your snot nose and go watch some Wesley Snipes movies.
mmm i guess some people its like that but i dont need brake lights to know to stop. But i guess thats because im not focused on the vehicle on front of me im focused on everything in front of me so its easy for me to tell when a vehicle is stopping/slowing down
Lmaoo. But just imagine how much more devastating Wilder's right hand would become if he threw it with this type of technique. Only God knows how many more knockouts he would get and how much faster he would be able to break his opponents.
What I love about this video is that Kimbo was soaking up game and not all arrogant like "yeah yeah, whatever,I know to fight, MF". He was willing to listen, learn and apply that to his skill set. Much love to MJW, an insanely underrated martial artist and RIP Kimbo.
I like how this conversation between a bunch of big dudes in orange jumpsuits, about fighting nonetheless, convey a level of intelligence and thoughtfulness that the stereotype would not suggest A year later: yes yes, I am painfully aware that they were shooting a movie now. Thx for pointing out my error!
this is whats up, a group of men sitting there teaching and being taught new things, not judging each other for letting their hand get hit, or talking shit and judging each other. just good ole knowledge being spread around. no ego, just knowledge. good shit!
Michael jai white even said he was scared shitless when he was in the scene with heath ledger in the dark knight...heath gave him the chills on how good he was
I’ve been boxing since I was 9 and I’m now 34, with 19 Amateur fights and 3 state championships. Although I don’t compete anymore I still train and refine my technique. He is absolutely correct in his explanation and execution.
LMAO! Yeah dude was humble here for sure, but he was no "student of combat" LOL! He was a fucking power puncher with a rock hard chin (until it got cracked and he spent more time laying on the canvass than standing on it), a damn good one, who made a name for himself knockin' out street thugs who didn't know shit about fighting, which then carried him a ways in the cage, until he met some actual "students of combat" who could use real technique to weather his one round storm and take him out with actual fighting skills once he fucking gassed himself out throwing that one weapon power left hook... "Student of combat", thanks man, I needed that...
This is a perfect technique to take advantage of one of the brains weaknesses. It’s harder to perceive movement that’s coming straight at you so it takes a lil longer for your brain to process. Kinda like how if a tornado looks like it’s staying still, it’s because it’s moving towards you
Lol no... It's the massive size of the tornado that masks the smaller movement. A black hole is the most extreme example. Completely different. His arm is not big enough to mask it's movement. It's the distance travelled and less jerky movement that makes it hard to react. As far as his explanation of a car in front of you, your eyes do infact detect the distance/size change when they brake. So he's wrong. Maybe some people are better than others but if you're used to mimicking the speed of vehicles in front of you, you practiced this ability enough to know. My wife on the other hand, not at all, I tell her not to tailgate.
I Love how Kimbo is a Great student, you can see him really listening and not trying to add or act as if he knows already. No matter where youre at in life you can always learn something.
Michael Jai's awesome. Everyone knows that, but I was surprised about Kimbo. His humility and how he reacted took me by surprise as he have always come off as being different than that. Not many, that's willing to listen, having that much experience with boxing, to someone coming in and basically telling you what you do is wrong and not be angry.
Rewatching after understanding the lesson MJW dropped is mindblowing cuz you can see exactly the difference in nuance he was talking about between the punches he throws at the start. Genius.
@@mr.t8123 kind of because that’s how I am too. Not trying to show off but more so if I have knowledge that others might not have I like to explain it to the highest degree
Smh MJW is a goat.. That comparison to brake lights on cars and how the eye works was next level.. He really has a natural teaching ability to break something down so it becomes easier and easier to understand entirely.. If he had just shown him the first 3 punches and said nothing, I wouldn't have learned nearly as much.. A human eyes depth perception is never going to be as good as lateral, and knowing that you can use these techniques to your advantage... Unbelievable display of knowledge
A true martial artist. A master of the arts. It’s a pleasure to watch his forms. I’ve been a fan since Spawn came out but Boyka is his best film worm imo. Michael Jai , mad respect. Another great Martial Artist is Scott Adkins. When they finally got to work together it was gold. Two of my favorites
Almost any other pro fighter would have been "Yeah, yeah, I'm makin money how I am, keep talking." Kimbo was listening, paying attention, and interpreting what MJW was saying. Taking any opportunity to learn and improve is the mark of dedication to the craft.
Except MJW is full of shit. He is talking very very basic boxing techniques and pretending like he just invented them. Talking about boxers having "flawed techniques" 🤣. Any half assed amateur would turn out MJW lights.
@@AD-df5tm But he's not though. Boxers are taught to throw from the shoulder and use the hip. And, when defending they are taught to watch the shoulders to see from which side the punch is coming from. Makes it a lot harder when you take the shoulder out if it. Which is also something taught, but it's not taught as a universal standard. Which is why he said "some boxers" he's trained with So, exactly what about whats being said is full of shit?
@@Bowfella No it isnt. boxers and kickboxers are taught to punch from the shoulder on jabs and from the waist on hooks. this isnt basic stricking technique at all. If you think so, you've obviously never trained any type of striking before.
R.I.P. to Kimbo Slice. 2016 is turning out like another 2014. Take care of yourself everyone and remember you got one life in this world so cherish every moment of it.
His vids were the shiznitz to watch during computer class in Jr high for me an my friends. I remember when they all had no more than 20-50k views to them back in 04-06. Time flies
I already love MJW before seeing this but the dude is so chill, and you can tell how much he loves his craft and talking about it. He just seems likes the nicest dude that every one knows you definitely don’t mess with
Those are some true words brother. A prime example is in the Garcia vs. Khan fight. Amir Khan is way faster than Danny Garcia but, when Danny got his timing right, he put that kid to sleep.
@@SocialSketch He didnt. However he was the first to successfully mainstrain it and made the world want to learn it. Say what you want about Lee but you cant not deny if it wasn't for him, Martial art would not he what it is today
Bruce Lee is the embodiment of mostly all martials arts wushu etc...to which he created jun keet do. It really wouldn't have been that way for Western nations i.e. America. However Micheal Jai is elusive in his full understanding of these arts and methods. He's a great teacher including understanding the struggles of African-American negroes being that he is and in his 50's. He's mastered the martial arts effectively.
Michael is a great martial artist and understands economy of motion as taught by the great Bruce Lee. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Non telegraphic motion but don’t forget boxing has feints to draw an opponent into a trap.

Oh, and those choreographies with the crouching tiger? They're basically shadow-boxing rehearsal for attacks to the eyes, throat, small joints, groin, you know, all those things not allowed in SPORT martial arts.
@@xyaeiounn: do YOU realise why these „rules“ are there (Which they are by NOW by the way, in the UFC, where before there were pretty much no rules and no weightclasses when it started)? There‘s no eye-gauging, no attacking the genitals, maybe no 12-6 elbows. But that is pretty much it. The absolut basics of rules were applied, in order to have more entertaining and honorable fights. That still means EVERYTHING else is allowed.
My main point is and was: MMA is multiple times more effective in a real fight, than Kung Fu. Do you really want to argue that? Just look up any KungFu master fighting against a trained MMA fighter. There you will find your answer.
MJW is literally talking in terms of “depth perception “ and he’s absolutely right
It's more than that. It's specifically talking about not forming the habit boxers have of dropping the arm before launching a jab. Doesn't apply to hooks because you have to drop your shoulder/arm for an effective 'hook'.

@@lamontjones3010 You mean know. That is YOUR intelligence.
I always think it's such a shame that Kimbo wasn't picked up and trained from an early age, whether that's boxing or mma, he achieved a lot for a guy with no real formal training. He seemed to be one of those guys with a natural talent for combat, if that could have been nurtured he would have been a world champion at some point.
As a ufc fan i agree
Ame even rarer - he was willing to learn…
@The Lenny Show Like Francis Ngannou, the current HW Champ. He started training MMA at 26 and prior to that only had minor boxing experience. 9 years later he is the scariest man on the planet.
This is what we lose as a species by not nurturing each other. If Kimbo had the same opportunity as a middle class kid (doesn’t matter race or whatever) then we would all have benefited from watching a natural talent exceed human capacity. But alas, world is shit and like 25% of all girls don’t get to go to school and add their two cents to the solutions for the problems the world is facing. We suck and suffer for being a greedy species.
Damn all this from a punching video lol. Enough internet for me lol

That's why a combination works if done right - and fast. The first punch distracts and gets the eyes to blink. Then before they even open again... POW! You have to throw the second punch at almost the same time... they won't see it. KO.
Spawn. Dude has been extremely underrated for years. And damn Kimbo, RIP. Seems like a good dude in this showing class and respect.
Matt L he needs to play spawn again not Jaimie foxx he’s deff underrated

@@jslack8973 sorry man, I'm a huge spawn fan and the movie was a fucking disgrace. nothing against white, he did fine, but the movie was a steaming pile of crap. only good thing was the violator. I assume you didnt read the comic, other wise you wouldn't regard this as "one of my favorites". I highly recommend you read the comic (at least the first 50-100 issues) and come back ^^
@BiggestFoot even on its own merits it was trash. Also funny to tell me to stick to childish entertainment while the movie is pg and the comic way darker and brutal, but nice try.
Spawn was one of the worst movies ever, at least for Michael. I like Michael Jai White movies. They're fun and enjoyable to watch. Spawn, nooo. That's some PlayStation or DC stuff goin on. Not exciting

@@platinumicy1379 u should look up why he even did that brah..
@@platinumicy1379 that was the first fight Mike fought, after being released. When you’re in prison, you’re not in a gentle mindset, you’re in survival mode, 24/7. Especially if you’re a boxer, cause everyone wants to see how their skills compare against yours. He was caged like an animal and Fought like one, Tyson is much gentler now.
Kimbo seemed like such a cool, humble dude. An absolute warrior, but also a man of honour and respect. You can hear it in his voice, the amount of respect he has as Michael is taking him through the technique. Hes listening and learning.
He was taken far too soon.
Respect brother. I will see you in Valhalla
That technique that MJW was teaching was absolutely spot-on, too. The moment I saw this clip YEEEARS ago, I immediately knew what Michael was going to teach Kimbo because of my own background. Ultimately, the fastest way between two points is a straight line, and if you don't want anyone to know an attack is coming, you obviously need to be as efficient as is possible.
Measure, technique, timing. But "speed" can vary, obviously. :)
Valhalla? Taken far too soon? With respect, like every human being, Kimbo Slice returned to his Lord the Most High precisely when our Lord determined so. The Most Great created all things with predestination(qadr). As far as Valhalla, this is a lie about the after life and isn’t backed by any truthful trace of knowledge or scripture. Allah tells us that there is only Paradise and Hellfire, nothing else. The believers will have Paradise as a final abode while the disbelievers will have the Fire as a final abode. The Quran is the revelation from the Lord of the worlds. My channel has a playlist of the personal favorite Quran recitations in English translation for listeners. Check it out In Sha Allah( God-Willing) you’ll be overcome with awe with the speech of our Master. There’s no deity worthy of worship except Him in truth alone without equals or helpers. We have no sustainer or guardian other than Allah, the Most Merciful, who has made the path to His pleasure and eternal Paradise straight and clear. May Allah guide us all
It just goes to show that, whatever it is you’re doing in life there is always somebody more experienced than you that you can learn from if you are willing to be humble enough to listen
Lee facts
That's the standard thought process...but true improvement comes from understanding you can learn from everyone regardless off experience
All wars are based on deception. " You must apply strategy to victory before declaring the actual war. The DECEPTION ( unpredictability/ speed) part is based on never to let your enemy know your main intentions nor your movements ( strategy ).

Then you’re mislead. Boxers are taught to use a combination of power and speed. With 90000000 ounce gloves on the “knockout blow” won’t be a knockout blow, it’s a just a tap to the cheek bone if you ask me. He literally used no hip flexion to throw his “knockout blow”
@@mohammadraja7351 go to his channel, he knows how to throw a punch. He's not being serious here(obviously),he's teaching in a slow fashion.
Ratinglulz Gaming my point still stands. No matter how fast the punch is, if there’s no range of motion, hip flexion or power then you’re just tapping.
I met him in Las Vegas back in 2008 during a convention and despite his intimidating look, he was great with me and took care of other fans. I made sure never to forget that.

They are giving the camera man shit but god bless this guy. He preserved a historic moment.
I don't know the first thing about fighting, but I totally like the dynamics of what's happening here. Someone teaches a technique, but not from a know-it-all attitude and with a willingness to share. And others pay close attention, recognizing in all humility the value of what is being taught here, thus being teachable. There's a shared admiration here for useful techniques and an overall atmosphere of benevolence.
It’s the first rule of martial arts basically, don’t let your ego get in the way of a learning experience.
@@tmsplltrs Ain't that the truth... Martial arts with heavy contact like BJJ really weed out the guys with bad egos.

We'd all just broken out of prison and were hiding behind the trailers when we ran into Michael Jai White who was on his way to 7-11 when he saw us and tried to apprehend us.

This is a perfect technique to take advantage of one of the brains weaknesses. It’s harder to perceive movement that’s coming straight at you so it takes a lil longer for your brain to process. Kinda like how if a tornado looks like it’s staying still, it’s because it’s moving towards you
Crazy shit
Imma try this for soccer😂😂
Also a train moving full speed head on it looks slow af but when it passes you better be clear of those tracks by a few feet
@@MELLOWMADNESS88 why would it suck you in?
Lol no... It's the massive size of the tornado that masks the smaller movement. A black hole is the most extreme example. Completely different. His arm is not big enough to mask it's movement. It's the distance travelled and less jerky movement that makes it hard to react. As far as his explanation of a car in front of you, your eyes do infact detect the distance/size change when they brake. So he's wrong. Maybe some people are better than others but if you're used to mimicking the speed of vehicles in front of you, you practiced this ability enough to know. My wife on the other hand, not at all, I tell her not to tailgate.
I Love how Kimbo is a Great student, you can see him really listening and not trying to add or act as if he knows already. No matter where youre at in life you can always learn something.
Michael Jai's awesome. Everyone knows that, but I was surprised about Kimbo. His humility and how he reacted took me by surprise as he have always come off as being different than that.
Not many, that's willing to listen, having that much experience with boxing, to someone coming in and basically telling you what you do is wrong and not be angry.
Rewatching after understanding the lesson MJW dropped is mindblowing cuz you can see exactly the difference in nuance he was talking about between the punches he throws at the start. Genius.

Almost any other pro fighter would have been "Yeah, yeah, I'm makin money how I am, keep talking." Kimbo was listening, paying attention, and interpreting what MJW was saying. Taking any opportunity to learn and improve is the mark of dedication to the craft.

@@AD-df5tm But he's not though. Boxers are taught to throw from the shoulder and use the hip. And, when defending they are taught to watch the shoulders to see from which side the punch is coming from. Makes it a lot harder when you take the shoulder out if it. Which is also something taught, but it's not taught as a universal standard. Which is why he said "some boxers" he's trained with
So, exactly what about whats being said is full of shit?
@@Bowfella No it isnt. boxers and kickboxers are taught to punch from the shoulder on jabs and from the waist on hooks. this isnt basic stricking technique at all. If you think so, you've obviously never trained any type of striking before.
This is one of the best pieces of advice on boxing ever!
Blood and Bone movie set. R.I.P. Kimbo.
Every time I watch this I'm always amazed of how much of a martial artist and fighter Michael Jai White is.
RIP Kimbo Slice. An absolute savage in the ring and a pure gentleman outside of it.
Man. This was such a dope exchange between two greats. Got to see Kimbo be a student. So receptive to the lesson. Dope. R.I.P. to the legend!
R.I.P. to Kimbo Slice. 2016 is turning out like another 2014. Take care of yourself everyone and remember you got one life in this world so cherish every moment of it.
Great comment. Rest in Peace, Slice
The real life is the life in after life
Died at the same year as Muhammad Ali. Rip the both
His vids were the shiznitz to watch during computer class in Jr high for me an my friends. I remember when they all had no more than 20-50k views to them back in 04-06. Time flies
I can watch them talk and demonstrate this for hours! RIP Kimbo
kimbo is really showing humility and any fighter who is willing listen to another fighters advice is a good person
I already love MJW before seeing this but the dude is so chill, and you can tell how much he loves his craft and talking about it. He just seems likes the nicest dude that every one knows you definitely don’t mess with
Kimbo was sucking up the knowledge . Both cool dudes👌
I love MJW. He's currently my most favorite martial artist at the moment.
Lmaoo idk why I thought they were gonna fight
Me too

Because they did in blood and bone
Still a good watch though
Mylesthe Goat ...exactly why Kimbo refused to train with Michael when he was genuinely trying to help him be better, lol.
"Timing beats speed and precision beats power" -Conor McGregor
Those are some true words brother. A prime example is in the Garcia vs. Khan fight. Amir Khan is way faster than Danny Garcia but, when Danny got his timing right, he put that kid to sleep.
Hafthor Bjornsson made him look like a child
@@abhijithanilkumar4959 Hafthor Bjornsson makes 95%of guys look like a child in fairness.
And boy he showed that over and over. Great fighter
Only 95? more like 99.99 percent
I mean. This is basically the kind of philosophy Bruce Lee had. Be fast , be unpredictable. When you move your shoulder I can see it.
yeah he sure did. first thing i thought of when he went into demonstrating punches
+ThePsycm Bruce Lee did not develop the idea of not telegraphing punches. He also did not come up with the idea of stop or intercepting strikes.
Then he does the backflip kick which knocks Ivan Krashinski out and giving him absolute victory.
@@SocialSketch He didnt. However he was the first to successfully mainstrain it and made the world want to learn it. Say what you want about Lee but you cant not deny if it wasn't for him, Martial art would not he what it is today
Bruce Lee is the embodiment of mostly all martials arts wushu etc...to which he created jun keet do. It really wouldn't have been that way for Western nations i.e. America. However Micheal Jai is elusive in his full understanding of these arts and methods. He's a great teacher including understanding the struggles of African-American negroes being that he is and in his 50's. He's mastered the martial arts effectively.
this is still just as cool to watch as it was when it first came out. Michael Jai White is a Master.
After watching this: **turns to brother**
Me: "Your free trial of living has just ended"
Michael is a great martial artist and understands economy of motion as taught by the great Bruce Lee. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Non telegraphic motion but don’t forget boxing has feints to draw an opponent into a trap.
2:02 imagine Jeff Cavaliere coming out of nowhere drawing on Michael’s shoulders with his muscle highlight markers
Muscle markers
Now this is a positive, funny 2021 meme.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"telegraphic your moves is killing your gains"
DUDE i never thought id see this comment heree LMAOO
