rethinking those accepted truths about martial arts

Michael Jai White is hosted by Jesse Enkamp, "the Karate nerd",  to a conversation about White's thinking about martial arts. 

White, 59, and as well as his recognition as a known actor, has been  inducted into the International Sports Hall of Fame and the Martial Arts History Museum Hall of Fame.
