Michael Jai White on Steven Seagal & Jean-Claude Van Damme Beef: Jean-Claude would Win (Part 22)

Part 1: • Michael Jai White on T...
--------
Hollywood action star Michael Jai White weighed in on the famous beef between fellow martial artists Steven Seagal and Jean-Claude Van Damme. According to an old story, Van Damme allegedly called out Seagal to a real fight after the latter insulted him at a house party hosted by Sylvester Stallone. Seagal reportedly backed down. It was pointed out that Van Damme was trained in martial arts before he even entered Hollywood, and was not afraid to spar with other professionals. Seagal, on the other hand, was more of a performer and not known to have considerable fighting prowess. White spoke highly of Van Damme's bravery and kindness, endorsing his fight credentials. He reasoned that Van Damme would most likely win if a real fight were to happen between the two icons.

    He sees him like an actor and not a fighter wich is wrong because he is capable but he knows he is better than Steven. Skill of aikido can't be compared with shotokan karate or tae kwon do or some level of kickboxing Van Damme trainned and Van Damme is also superior in power. People need to understand no matter what they think about MJW he practices martial arts and knows who can do it and who can't. I can also say Steven is allways trying to put the skill of other martial artists down and that shows weakness and lack of confidence.

    He doesn't have to be, as MJW states, gotta give respect to those that actually fight, it doesn't really matter if they are the best, there's too many people to be the "best" so who cares about being the best. I don't even think bruce lee was the best, i think that is just who people knew of which was the best when there might of been people none of us knew who was better than bruce lee.

Like I stated. I don't know how much truth there is to that. It was just something I had been told by a friend a very long time ago.

If he was lucky, Seagal would only break his fingers and gently squeeze his adam's apple before allowing MJW to submit.

    @@michaelmyers3709Really? He has a black belt in Aikido for sure, but I doubt he has black belts in other things - he’s been out of shape for almost all of his career - even in his early movies, he lean but not muscular at all; you learn pretty quickly in any martial art (combat sport if you like), with regular resistance sparring, that you need to be strong enough, and have cardio enough, to be effective enough to compete and progress in that environment. Seagal has never looked like he has either - maybe he had slight cardio in his early days, but even then that develops muscle tone. So if he does have 3 other black belts - he’s legit as legit can be in aikido, but I’d go as far to say that’s a counter-productive art as far as fighting goes (as it gives a false sense of security at best, and a terrible idea of how fights go to the point of making you more venerable than if you are if untrained, at worst), so I’d be shocked, if he’s ever trained a martial art that involves and sense of reality based training exercises. Aka full resistance sparring of some kind, and we all already know what arts have that built in, and those that don’t.)

    Yet again Jai White shows himself up for the ignorant buffoon he is. Seagal is a 7th degree black belt in Aikido and has various other black belts in other martial arts. He is also an expert marksman. He has been a cop and part of border patrol for over 20 years. Like him or not it's ridiculous for Michael to say that Vlad and anyone else could beat him in a fight. Such stupid talk all stemming from jealously and hatred. He is obsessed with talking about Seagal, it's sad.
