Michael Jai White Breaks Down Why "Shaolin Monks" are Fake

When that video came out I showed it to my best friend...He's a 7th dan black belt in taekwondo... fights in tournaments all the time, traveled all over ther world training with monks, kickboxers in Thailand, Olympic medalists, etc... he said he learned from this video and implemented some of this into his points sparring matches.
Further into that video, MJW talks about Bernard Hopkins and how he throws that punch... I've seen Bernard teach that same thing to Rashard Evans and they both speak on it the same from a technical standpoint:
BHOP teaching it
MJW teaching it (skip to 4:35 mark)

Where?not sure if serious
dude actually got his start fighting.
It's all on YouTube man... just look
Hell even in one of the videos I posted they have early footage of MJW point sparring...
I dont know what it is about us.....
We love to downplay or disparage other black people
Boggles my mind
Just that guy's MO... if it's not up to his standards or he doesn't specifically know about it then it's not real...
He's talking about a dark brown man from southern India who crossed to the kingdom of Chin via what the west calls The Silk Road to introduce Buddhism there.
Sparring or competing?
Right but he's trying to subtly imply that dude was African
The boxer rebellion begin during the first decade of the 20th century. The cultural revolution during the 1960s. The monk I learn Tai Chi from was chased out of the temples when he was a boy by Mao's folk. He had to practice underground. So, even though that main temple was taken down 400 years before what I am talking about, the monks were still around. Even through the calamitous cultural revolution.
I just need to see him dust off this racist CAC real quick...
And weren't they both the Boxer Rebellion and the Cultural Revolution about the same thing? Purifying China against Western and Japanese influence?

Mr. Pool
That’s not a real fight lmao that’s bullshit ass point fighting. Mike perry is half his size and would break his jaw MJW is full of shit
You go do it then
Let me know if it's real or not.
Trust me, I know for a fact that shit looks like some "for play" bullshit but that's out of respect for one another... you get two guys with some bad blood in there against each other and it's a totally different ball game
Bruh. Michael Jai White is one of the few real martial artist out there. He's the real deal. He trains with pros and worldwide. Dude is a beast ever since he was in his teens.
I dont think anyone is doubting if is a real martial artist. They are just questioning if he would win in a real fight against trained fighters or even a mma fights with rules. By no means am I an expert but I dont think you can compare traditional martial arts tournaments that use points to mma. I do think point fighting may be a good gauge of someone's ability though.
When mao was killing everybody quite a few of those dudes left for taiwan and Hong Kong, some are in the US as well
I don't think a *real* fight between them would come down to training. Mike Perry often loses his head in UFC fights and either gets in trouble or finished. He's not a well-disciplined dude. Michael Jai White is. I think MJW has the size, strength, speed, power, and composure advantage to make quick work of that devil in an actual street fight.
Which tournament is he competing in?
AND MJW has 400 hundred years of ancestral vengeance coins to use, whereas Mike Perry only has 8 years worth.
I wasn't necessarily comparing him to anyone. If MJW took it seriously, he could have enough experience to beat some mma fighters. However, depending on how much ring experience the person has MJW probably would still be at a disadvantage. Not saying he would lose, but I'm not convinced point fighting in the past would equate to someone who is an active fighter.
Again I'm talking out of my ass, so I could more than likely be wrong about the difference between point fighting and full contact. I would honestly have a similar opinion if a person's last fight was over ten years ago and they are fighting someone who is active.
Surprised no one has brought up this angle....
it always seems that trained fighters around the world avoid the spotlight or broadcasting in a loud voice who and what they do. I bet there were monks who survived and passed down the teachings. They may have integrated into other community or became even more secretive. AFTER ALL, arent most fighters trained to win fights before a single punch is thrown?
Unlike that Perry fool trying to challenge MJW. Perry is trying to bully his way and increase his rep.

Michael Jai White is out here fuckin' up childhoods, he's the new Debbie the Downer.....
To take this a step further, it's been long established that martial arts/fighting for TV and movies is actually difficult for some trained martial artists, in part because you have to move slower than you might normally when filming. It might not even be that Kimbo might have just needed some work dealing with that, in which case MJW inviting him the train for that type of thing is actually pretty standup.
But it doesn't surprise me at all that an MMA fighter would assume the worst, and be an asshole while trying to defend the situation.
