I read an interview with Steven Segal where he talked about how he would hit stunt men for real. And his justification for it was, "If they were real martial artists, they should be fast enough to not get hit." That always bugged me. As a high ranking martial artist (fifth or sixth degree black belt in aikido at the time), it's actually HIS responsibility to control his moves so he doesn't hurt the people he's working with.
@@asabovesobelow2299 Oh I WISH I was a high ranking black belt. But I was referring to the rank Segal had at the time. I never made it past blue, myself. 😔
@@t-bonestickyfingers1336 Lol! He probably has issues with authority due to unresolved childhood issues. Although he read the initial comment incorrectly, to get upset or question the person making reference in regards to the statement, as a high ranking martial artist, in a disdainful manner shows that there may be lingering issues as it pertains to people of any type of status, authority or ranking. He's probably the type of person to do the opposite of what is requested of him to prove that he can't be controlled and told what to do. I could be wrong.
MJW is one of those actors where I'll have NO interest in a movie but if I see his name in the credits I'm watching it. Dude deserves more accolades than he's gotten in hollywood. And Seagal knew not to hit Michael because Michael can fight. If he reactively hit Steven in response, production shuts down for 3 months while Steve eats jello through a straw.
I love MJW. He has never been given the credit he fully deserves. He is a top rate fighter/actor and a genuine great guy. He is in 50's and he still looks like a man half his age.
MJW is great but he is a fairly uncharismatic actor. It's easier to make a movie star look like a great martial artist than it is to make a great martial artist look like a good actor.
MJW deserves full respect, for respecting the parameters of others and for being an honest high ranking martial artist. Actually very under rated as an actor...
Definitely. He's a fucking great dude. He's one of those guys that should definitely be a bigger star than he is, that being said, I'm glad he's still in acting and able to make a living.

Are you drunk? Seagal was the biggest martial arts star between 1988 and 1995 at the Box Office. Seagal´s films were loved by millions. People now don´t like him because now they all know the crazy stories about him but in the early 90´s nobody made fun of Seagal because he was the real deal.
MJW was great in The Dark Knight; one of my favorites of his performances. Yes, it was a relatively small part but he was so menacing in that first scene that he was in with Heath Ledger that he literally stole the screen away from Ledger when he slammed his hand on the table and screamed “ENOUGH from the clown!” 😂
Vlad video titles can be labeled as instigating. I didn’t hear Michael say anything about “he knows not to hit me” as if he had said that comment in a threatening matter. You instigated on this video Vlad. Shame on you dude.
I hung out with Michael Jai White while a guest of Producer Anthony Santa Croce on the movie set of 'Mutiny,' directed by Kevin Hooks. Mr. White Was an amazingly cool guy. We spoke about Japanese Samauri movies, training, and Martial Arts. He was/is a total gentleman who in his large well-trained frame, gave respect to my notions and ideas developed with my then 5'7" 150 lb frame. Unlike many stars who only see themselves, we had a genuine down to earth talk, akin to two guys with a beer and a plate of Mama's ribs. He is genuine to the core.

Michael is a very nice and down-to-earth guy. He still is very well respected and has a huge following. Respects to all his achievements even from right here in Asia . Would be nice to see him if he ever visited here in Singapore!
Dude is so humble about it. I only discovered this man this week when I was watching a channel with 'bad ass' fight scenes from many movies. He kept showing up so I had to see who he was in the comments. Definitely got to find and watch his movies.
Michael: "Seagal didn't hit me obviously because I'm not a stunt guy" Vlad: "Michael says Seagal knew better than to hit him or he would have beaten Seagal's ass. Let's make them fight!"
He always makes mince meat out of the villains without getting even a bruise.Its like eveytime he manages to win by effortlessly overpowering his opponents.
and always repeating his guests answers in his booming voice, hinting that they mean so much more than even his guests know. in court, that would be called leading.
Thomas Harris well according to Sylvester Stallone he said Van Damme challenged Seagal to a fight at his birthday party because Seagal like he always does was hardening up his mouth.
@@emilio2647 probably not true. Steven seagal would beat the fuck out of van damme. Both are not real fighters, but seagal is much bigger and meaner than van damme.
It's a testament to his character that Michael Jai White takes the time to not speak trash about Steven Seagal but going back to the 90's and looking at Seagal interviews, he basically called him an actor and downplayed him as a martial artist.
@@bklee2720 You need to calm down, Your cursing and using Jesus name in the same sentence, blasphemy and have the audacity to judge and say people are worshipping Lee When you don't even know them People can show appreciation for Lee and not worship him Its call showing someone respect to someone who help paved the way for actors like Michael,who knows martial arts and others who did martial arts and wanted to act Lee had to endure racism, discrimination from white hollywood just like, black actors did and still do today Hollywood did not even think martial art movies would be profitable until Bruce Lee movie became a hit Hollywood refused to give Lee the leading role for the series Kung Fu because of his race, because he was Chinese. They gave it to a white man, David Carradine who played in the movie Kill Bill When the character was Chinese people are tired of thirsty people who are trying to make money tell lies or half truth about people when they are no longer alive What you so rudely fail to understand, thirsty people want to make money by selling a book, always writing a book about someone after they are no longer here Lee has family a daughter ,who you did not like what was said and how the movie Once upon a time showed him Image someone coming out with lies about your loved one or someone who mentor you. Every time some passes away it is someone who comes out with a book, tv program, article and come with allegations about that famous person, knowing they are not here, alive to tell their truth, their side of whatever happen They have did it to JFK and his brother, Michael Jackson,Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, Malcolm X and people are still talking about people like Martin Luther King, Richard Pryor and other famous people. Bruce Lee died over 40 years ago, they need to let people rest in peace. Do some research Lee was more than a actor and he did Chinese martial arts, Kune Do, he mentor and taught it before he became a actor. And he would teach anyone who wanted to study, learn martial arts, when he was forbidden to teach it to people who was not Chinese. He was a mentor, director and instructor who paved the way for martial art movies and for people who wanted to do martial arts like Michael, Wesley Snipes, Bruce's son Brandon Lee, Jet Li and others
These are the questions i was waiting for! I want to know how it was fighting with Steven Seagal, Van damme, Tony Ja, an so on! What MJW thought of there fighting styles vs his own! MORE!
Steven Would bully non martial artist which is a very weak thing to do when your a boxer, mma fighter, or any other type of martial combatant with training. I mean he hit John Leguizamo who's like 5'4 160 Ibs🤦🏻♂️
Yeah, he played it dumb for a bit while he thought of what to say, and realized he could kinda dodge the subject by just throwing Seagall under the bus who already has the reputation for doing this kind of thing.
Michael jai white is full of steroids remember when he tried too say he could make Mike Perry a better fighter when this guy ain’t a real fighter himself he might look good but once you get hit it’s a different story
@@noelr1010 I would say so, the CGI was terrible even for the time but besides that it's a pretty good film. It's a more dark/serious comic book movie, done wayy better than these new "dark"/serious DC movies
He seemed to have trouble following the story the interviewer was telling about Bruce Lee. Either that or he just didn't like hearing the story because he probably worshipped Bruce growing up.
for anyone who hasn't seen it Michael was in a early "viral" video back in the day of him showing punching techniques to another early viral guy kimbo slice. its a great video

like the other comments, Michael Jai White seems like a great genuine guy. Love the humbleness he displays while also letting you know he ain't a punk either.
He does that all the time. He drops names of folks he wants to interview in other folks interviews. When you watch his videos he repeatedly drops the same names throughout the 50 parts. He wants to interview NBA Youngboy and definitely Puffy but NEVER Suge.

It's too bad you don't have a dollar for every time he does mess up.
One of the most under rated actor/fighter out there.
Michael is a very nice and down-to-earth guy. He still is very well respected and has a huge following. Respects to all his achievements even from right here in Asia . Would be nice to see him if he ever visited here in Singapore!
Dude is so humble about it. I only discovered this man this week when I was watching a channel with 'bad ass' fight scenes from many movies. He kept showing up so I had to see who he was in the comments. Definitely got to find and watch his movies.
Better late than never. You need to watch Blood and Bone. Do it! Do it now!!! lol
Watch Blood and Bone
@@2Gione Thanks for the recommendation - actually a few of the clips were from that show which I obviously hadn't seen before.
@@TinyMaths Yeah I'll second that movie. Great movie.
Michael: "Seagal didn't hit me obviously because I'm not a stunt guy"
Vlad: "Michael says Seagal knew better than to hit him or he would have beaten Seagal's ass. Let's make them fight!"
Was thinking the same thing.
ikr? trying to instigate shit. not a fan. Fan of MJW though
To be fair, Seagal already talked shit about Michael way before this interview
He always makes mince meat out of the villains without getting even a bruise.Its like eveytime he manages to win by effortlessly overpowering his opponents.
and always repeating his guests answers in his booming voice, hinting that they mean so much more than even his guests know. in court, that would be called leading.
😅In other words if Steven hits him for real he’s going to kick his azzzzzz🔥😅
Thomas Harris well according to Sylvester Stallone he said Van Damme challenged Seagal to a fight at his birthday party because Seagal like he always does was hardening up his mouth.
@@emilio2647 probably not true. Steven seagal would beat the fuck out of van damme. Both are not real fighters, but seagal is much bigger and meaner than van damme.
@@troubleman3837 Are you insane? Van Damme is 10x in better shape than Seagal, Lol. He is too out of shape to have any advantage.
DEFINITELY 💯.
@@emilio2647 You from the Bahamas eh bui?
It's a testament to his character that Michael Jai White takes the time to not speak trash about Steven Seagal but going back to the 90's and looking at Seagal interviews, he basically called him an actor and downplayed him as a martial artist.
Huge respect for MJW. The man is the epitome of cool.
Love MJW’s facial response when Vlad said they brought in a dude to teach Bruce Lee respect. That statement also had me like 🤨.
He knows it’s bullshit. Why would Bruce hit people and jeopardise his career?
@@bklee2720 total bullshit.
That story is nothing new though, I was surprised MJW wasn't aware of it.
It’s well known. Gene humbled Bruce a bit. He’s the reason Bruce started learning grappling techniques. Not a new story.
@@bklee2720 You need to calm down,
Your cursing and using Jesus name in the same sentence, blasphemy and have the audacity to judge and say people are worshipping Lee
When you don't even know them
People can show appreciation for Lee and not worship him
Its call showing someone respect to someone who help paved the way for actors like Michael,who knows martial arts and others who did martial arts and wanted to act
Lee had to endure racism, discrimination from white hollywood just like, black actors did and still do today
Hollywood did not even think martial art movies would be profitable until Bruce Lee movie became a hit
Hollywood refused to give Lee the leading role for the series Kung Fu because of his race, because he was Chinese.
They gave it to a white man, David Carradine who played in the movie Kill Bill
When the character was Chinese
people are tired of thirsty people who are trying to make money tell lies or half truth about people when they are no longer alive
What you so rudely fail to understand, thirsty people want to make money by selling a book, always writing a book about someone after they are no longer here
Lee has family a daughter ,who you did not like what was said and how the movie Once upon a time showed him
Image someone coming out with lies about your loved one or someone who mentor you.
Every time some passes away it is someone who comes out with a book, tv program, article and come with allegations about that famous person, knowing they are not here, alive to tell their truth, their side of whatever happen
They have did it to JFK and his brother, Michael Jackson,Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, Malcolm X and people are still talking about people like Martin Luther King, Richard Pryor and other famous people.
Bruce Lee died over 40 years ago, they need to let people rest in peace.
Do some research Lee was more than a actor and he did Chinese martial arts, Kune Do, he mentor and taught it before he became a actor.
And he would teach anyone who wanted to study, learn martial arts, when he was forbidden to teach it to people who was not Chinese.
He was a mentor, director and instructor who paved the way for martial art movies and for people who wanted to do martial arts like Michael, Wesley Snipes, Bruce's son Brandon Lee, Jet Li and others
These are the questions i was waiting for! I want to know how it was fighting with Steven Seagal, Van damme, Tony Ja, an so on! What MJW thought of there fighting styles vs his own! MORE!
Well he's very good friends with Tony Jaa so he'll say all good things. But yeah bro Vlad asks some boring questions.
The italian punked steven seagal
Vlad just talks to much and thats it...LET THEM TALK...
@@CappenKrunch I remember when John Leguizamo told Conan that Steven Seagal runs like a girl.😄😄🤣🤣🤣
@@emilio2647 lmao
This man has trained himself to be in such control that he makes me want to be like him. MJW is an awesome athlete and actor.
Michael Jai White is a treasure. We need another Black Dynamite!
This guy is such an inspiration, love his movies and even more so,.... His interviews
I love the way he performs in 'better or worse'. He seems the guy with wisdom and peacemaker.
his honesty is truly remarkable
"If I'm on 🔥, it's not me!" (Remembers Spawn) 🤣 😂
I have watched MJW over the years , I like him for his Marshall arts skills but also as a down to earth individual .
Martial Arts
Steven Segal was known for being a bully on and off set so it’d be hilarious to watch him tag MJW and watch Michael tear him apart lol
Steven Would bully non martial artist which is a very weak thing to do when your a boxer, mma fighter, or any other type of martial combatant with training. I mean he hit John Leguizamo who's like 5'4 160 Ibs🤦🏻♂️
Dmx has also told a story of Segal breaking his arm or shoulder when they filmed together.
@@IamLegend32 whose arm was broken?
@@IamLegend32 yeah who’s arm got broken?
@@IamLegend32 That´s not true. Seagal never break his arm or shoulder. You just made that up.
I like the way Michael explains situations very clearly 👍
“If I’m on fire it’s not me” 😂😂😂
“Usually I’m fighting other fighters.” Lmao 🤣
He was perplexed by every question 🤣🤣🤣
If you're in a movie with Steven Seagal post 2005, you're probably not much of an actor yourself.
"enough from the clown!"
I love this guy!
He goes from “it never happens” to “ he does it all the time” 😂😂😂😂
I think he meant with other actors haha
He means other guys don't do it, but pos Segal does it all the time
Yeah, he played it dumb for a bit while he thought of what to say, and realized he could kinda dodge the subject by just throwing Seagall under the bus who already has the reputation for doing this kind of thing.
Careful how you question Black Dynamite.
Love to see Michael beat the holy hell out of Steven
I would pay money to see that 💀
Love to see anybody do That 😆
Michael jai white is full of steroids remember when he tried too say he could make Mike Perry a better fighter when this guy ain’t a real fighter himself he might look good but once you get hit it’s a different story
Surely you wouldn’t want the guy to poop his pants again 😅
Micheal would ran laps around Steven and not even get tired
I love watching his interviews
"I'm stupid like that " lol I like him 😂
Spawn might have not been a great film but his performance as Spawn was pretty damn great
I never watched spawn before
I could have sworn me and my homie played a fighting videogame with Spawn in it in like 06 for OG Xbox
@@wastedimperium777 possibly soul calibur 2?
Is it worth watching?
@@noelr1010 I would say so, the CGI was terrible even for the time but besides that it's a pretty good film. It's a more dark/serious comic book movie, done wayy better than these new "dark"/serious DC movies
I love that he questions the validity of the statements which he's being told. Sign of a strong mind. Mad respect to this guy, love Spawn.
I love this interview
Michael is a very good actor. Very underrated. Every movie I've seen him in hes excellent
Michael - "If there's a guy on fire, that's not me." LOL!
What a truly humble man 💯💙
Mike seems so annoyed In every clip but he keeps doing these interviews he’s a cool guy and a badass😎
yes.
Probably because he’s not annoyed
@UCOTS0akjkVQRo5FKjZfkmcg how can he not be. Vlads a fuckwad
He seemed to have trouble following the story the interviewer was telling about Bruce Lee. Either that or he just didn't like hearing the story because he probably worshipped Bruce growing up.
yeah he didn't really seem too enthused with the questions.
for anyone who hasn't seen it Michael was in a early "viral" video back in the day of him showing punching techniques to another early viral guy kimbo slice. its a great video
Yep, I remember that from like 2009 I think
But kimbo slice was a real fighter.. with professional fights, Unlike Michael.
That video randomly popped in my head while watching this. 🤣💯
R.I.P. Kimbo. 🤲🏼🌹🤲🏼
@@jjboss7896 he was also garbage in real professional fights when he was fighting. RIP Kimbo 💯💯
@@jjboss7896 You're the type of student who would't get far in a martial arts school because of you're arrogance. Ever heard the phrase 'Knowledge is power'? Imagine turning your nose up at someone with 7 blackbelts, giving tips but rubbishing it just because you believe they have never had any professional fights.
micheal loves that word “ parameters” lmaooo i swear ive never heard that more in my life than when he is speakin
Man Michael jai white is awesome and I feel like he should be much bigger then he is.. he can act in action, comedy and drama. He's well rounded and a legit badass
He's saying not yet as if it's bound to happen sometime😅🤣😂
This guy literally brought Spawn to life. Loved that movie as cheesy and crazy as it was👍🏿
I'm very impressed he didn't call the interviewer out of his name. The faces he made were enough proof of how off that dude was.
Love how he said I AM NOT A STUNT GUY hahahah
Love michael jay white
Just the title alone makes me laugh 💀😂
I wish I could meet and train with this man. Legend, no one can defeat Spawn !!!
Having an understanding, is different than “He knew not to hit me”….Vlad…
Swear, Vlad does that all the time, misleads with his titles
MJW never even said that smh
He’s a fuckin weirdo who likes to cause problems between celebs and rappers people like vlad are the reason these rappers think they needa kill people to look a certain way for the internet sad fuckin world.
If you have an understanding NOT to do something, you know NOT to do it, correct?
IF Segal would've hit MJW.......ONE WORD......HOSPITAL.
Man I love Michael Jai White! All his movies are awesome and he's just a awesome guy in general.
What a very special and respectful gentleman
It always great to listen to Michael Jai White.
He seems to add humanism amd class to even a classless interview question
always liked this guy, legit martial artist. It got better with the years. Keep always practicing, ozz.
like the other comments, Michael Jai White seems like a great genuine guy. Love the humbleness he displays while also letting you know he ain't a punk either.
It's weird seeing an actor respond in a normal sane way to crazy questions. This dude is just straight up cool
Those are the type of dudes to not mess with.
MJW and Scott Adkins, phenomenal martial artists, nuff respect
I feel like Vlad is trying to get a Steven seagal interview soon and while you at it get Chuck Norris 😁👍🥋
chuck fa sho!
He does that all the time. He drops names of folks he wants to interview in other folks interviews. When you watch his videos he repeatedly drops the same names throughout the 50 parts. He wants to interview NBA Youngboy and definitely Puffy but NEVER Suge.
Ain’t nobody fucking with Chuck Norris they say Bruce Lee didn’t want no smoke with him
he’s hiding out in Serbia from those charges & accusations
I really would love to see a fight between Seagal and Michael J. These two super humble men.
This man is humble asf💯
Vlad is so unprofessional , laughing like something’s a joke , even about the project with Michael and Segal in Japan he just laughs. No respect
They pay the most not funny about the Japan bag.
Agreed, I also reacted and thought that was tacky and tasteless. Good on you Michael for working on international projects like that.
I poop in dis toylit
Michael Jai White seems annoyed in every clip.. 😂
Agreed
