In this video, I discuss Michael Jai White's recent comments regarding Jean-Claude Van Damme, Bruce Lee and Steven Seagal as far as whether or not they're fighters. The irony, is that all these men are "movie fighters", but Michael Jai White seems to think he's the exception and is a real fighter.
I also address certain comments.

Bruce was a real fighter and a real martial artist who had legit street fights, a boxing match which is on record, challenged by Wong jack man who confirmed they fought, challenged on set of his movies, all confirmed by people who were alive at the time he was. And if he didn't pass away at a young age, 50 years ago I'm sure he would of been challenged by a lot more people. including the gracies who weren't in the states yet, and by the time the did come to the states and start there dojo storming Bruce would of been in his 40s, And probably would of perfected his art. But we will never know how things would of played out. how ever he was not a prize fighter. MJW learnt someone else's martial art, Bruce Lee invented his own so he's more of a fighter than MJW.

That's probably true, but you have to look at it from another perspective: Back in the day, Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris, Steven Seagal, all made their paychecks based off of their reputations as bad-asses. If Lee had entered a ring and lost a fight, his career would have been over. Once Norris became a movie star, he stopped competing for a reason, the same reason that kept Seagal and Van Damme out of any ring. Dolph Lundgren is the only one who engaged in any public fights after he became famous.

You are sharing fake news with us. Bruce Lee didn't win or lose any fights with serious martial artists, and there are no videos or pictures about that. Everyone fought in the streets. Its not a proof of fighter's level. UFC and MMA had roots coming from BJJ. The idea to organize fights without rules in the UFC wasn't offered by Bruce Lee when he was still alive. It was launched by Brazilians to promote their BJJ. Later, they started to organize fights with rules because fights without rules were almost prohibited. Now it's called MMA. This MMA isn't what Bruce Lee taught at his dojo. This sport was influenced by Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, not Bruce Lee's kung fu. Your idol, Bruce Lee, only made popular the idea of combining useful elements of multiple martial arts through his movies. Because fans of his films started to study his teachings and spread his ideas and jeet kune do.

He's not. He sees himself on the same level as top-tier UFC fighters or boxers. He tried "coaching" Kimbo Slice on a movie set once. While Kimbo didn't have a very diverse skill set, he would've made short work of MJW simply because Kimbo has a lot of full-contact experience whereas MJW has none.

@@powerbadpowerbad Well when he was younger he was already focused on movies. UFC (in the 90s) was still in it's infancy and he already had a few (not very popular) movies under his belt by then. He was already making more money than those early UFC fighters and even now makes more money. In fact people are complaining about fighter pay being low so it would make sense to take an ass beating for less money! lol That said he has said several times he respects real fighters and doesn't claim to be one of them BUT he's not gonna be the type of person that says "I'll get my ass kicked by them" not because he can beat them but because he's not gonna discount himself whether it's true or not.

I guess he'd have to define "fighter". If he's saying that unless you do some form of sport fighting, you're not a fighter, then he's discrediting entire lineages dating back centuries who fought to stay alive. Now if he's saying you're not a fighter unless you've fought in a street fight, then he's discrediting ring fighters. Jackie Chan never competed, but in several books I have about him, he's been attacked by people simply for being Jackie. He defended himself successfully each time. Bruce Lee's challenge fights, including one that happened in a YMCA are documented as well as his boxing match with a fighter in Hong Kong. Steven Seagal was not a competitive fighter, but even his ex wife mentions fights with drunk men that barged into their Dojo in Japan to fight him. Van Damme certainly had fights, both outside a ring as well as in tournaments. My brother never once competed in a tournament in all our years of training together, but in one street fight he seriously injured someone by side kicking him into a wall and splitting the back of the guy's head open. For myself, I haven't been in a street fight in ages, but I still compete in tournaments every year, including sparring. So are the aforementioned film stars fighters? YES! They are martial artist's, film fighters and real fighters. Fought in a sport fight? You're a fighter. Fought in a street fight? You're a fighter. Train to fight in your dojo, dojang, kwoon or studio by sparring and working with strategy? You're a fighter. And you're 100% correct in your rant about people making everything about race, gender and sexuality and completely remove any meaning to the words by tossing "ism" and "phobic" terms around willy nilly. If a film sucks, it sucks.

Bruce wasn't a fighter, he was in some sparring matches and idk what else but he's not actively competing. Chuck Norris was a fighter for sure. He competed back in his day. That's just my 2 cents.

Im a fan of MJW, I respect him. But I look closely all those interviews and I think hes a lowkey hater, and tries do keep it down with those type of comments. Maybe hes not, but thats what I get from the videos. He put the guys down with weird reasons. Maybe because he doesnt think the guys are athletic like him, or big like him, or skill like him, or something like that. Its strange. All the guys make movies, for entertaining. Nobody there is on professional boxe, muai thai, mma, etc. Period! They trained with professionals, they are martial artists like them, but they are not fighters for living. Thats not me saying they cant fight if they wish or put their mind into it. They make movies and do 20 shots for a scene. They hit beautifully because thats what a movie should do, create the fantasy, and thats it people. MJW just need to put him in the same category, even if he thinks he is better than all of them. Hes not a fighter and hes a not a great actor too. Hes a cool guy, have a great charisma, make cool kick ass movies, have a great style, a inspiration for nutrition stuff. People watch his movies because of that, not because they on pay per view or because they want to see the next Oscar performance. He needs to calm down! Im not hating.

Getting in a bunch of after school fights, are you fighter? I understand there is a difference when talking about a trained fighter. But, if you have trained but never fought in a no rules anything goes fight you are still a fighter right? Or are you?

Most of the top level martial artist of the day went to Bruce,to improve,and get better. That alone speaks volumes. So mjw,it's easy to talk about someone when they are no longer here, but why don't you give Bruce Lee the respect he deserves.i say this as a Bruce Lee fan,with all due respect to the other fighters that mjw is slagging off.Well done viking.yet again ,another great debate.

Regardless though, even if he’s never fought professionally, it doesn’t take away the fact that this man pretty much pioneered some of modern martial arts to what it is today. His teachings and philosophies paved the way for a lot of successful martial artists, some of whom would become successful UFC champions.

Thankfully, Lee was able to sneak in a few movies starting at the very last 1.5 year of his life. Prior to that...there are zero movies, he was simply a veteran at live combat. In live situations he had fought; Black Belts, Pro Fighters, Ex military, Champions, 3rd degree Masters, Rival Martial Artists, and opponents that outweighed him by 100 pounds. His battle experience started as a young boy and lead all through out his teens + adulthoodhood. The few movies he DID make were only at the last 1.5 years of his life which was a brief opportunity for him to report his life experiences and give that insight into live combat. He only made 3 little movies plus One Hollywood film, a very short attempt at films but we're lucky he at least made them and snuck them right in JUST before he died to show us his insights on his personal life of hard combat. Lee is ranked by Sports Illustrated in the 50 Greatest Athletes of All Time, with near super human strength that could raise unbelievable weights that Pro Weight Lifters could not. mjw has never competed in any professional combat sport, he is just an actor and has been in MORE movies than Bruce Lee.
