==Early life==
White was born in Brooklyn, New York and moved as a teen to Bridgeport, Connecticut, where he graduated from Central High School in 1985.
He is an accomplished martial artist, holding black belts in nine different styles: Shotokan, Tae Kwon Do, Kobudo, Goju Ryu (for which he studied under Master Eddie Morales where he learned to sharpen his Goju karate technique), Tang Soo Do, Wushu and Kyokushin,〔"Male Celebs Who Practice Martial Arts", ''Jet'' magazine, Sept. 24, 2001, at pp. 38-39.〕 with a specific focus in Kyokushin (although his style incorporates aspects of many different martial arts forms).〔()() Fogan, Sara. ("Man of Action" ), ''Black Belt Magazine'', (undated)〕 White started training in the martial arts at the age of seven in Japanese Jujutsu and then Shotokan moving to other styles later.
White is a former teacher.〔(47 HH interview with Michael J. White and Scott Sanders to promote the movie ''Black Dynamite'' )〕 He cites his history in education as the reason why, despite his personal love for the music genre on "a lot of levels", he cannot "in good ()" have a positive opinion on hip hop or "excuse some of () pervasive and destructive elements", due to his experience with youngsters who had difficulty seeing the difference between it and real life.〔
