I confronted Steven Seagal

Steven Seagal shows me Aikido techniques you DON’T see in movies! They are used in MMA (mixed martial arts) by famous UFC fighters. Because the samurai did NOT practice submission grappling - like BJJ or modern Jiu-jitsu does. Watch until the end so you don't miss the best part!

You are too ignorant and blind to see he did nothing defensively. Everything he did was a strike. His hand grab crippled both men, paralyzed them. He could've taken it to the next level with ease. With that one "defense" strike he opened them both up to further crippling blows. They were on their tip toes in agony. Unless you are saying these two were faking it??? I don't think they were. I've been there. When you get in the ring with a tiger the first strike is obvious if the tiger is real. He KNOCKED them both back easily and nicely. Just a taste of power. And their bodies were moved several feet.

I came here expecting a chuckle. People can mock the man. He's given them opportunity to at times. But, he shares some very insightful spiritual precepts here. He clearly is a teacher.

He comes across as a thoughtful, interesting man and I'd rather have a conversation with him than with 98.5% of the rest of the people in entertainment.

[@Cr0w805]

He clearly has not forgotten where he came from but as an aikidoka myself, it seems to be well known inside the community that he lost respect, and was ostrisized when he had an affair with his Senseis wife. As far as his knowledge and skill it is legitimate but the reason he claims to be a master of this or that is because he was excommunicated from aikido.

Steven Seagal is a 7th dan black belt in Aikido, he spent more than 15 years learning in Japan under Shihan Hiroshi Isoyama and Seiseki Abbe Sensei... He also learned Wing Chun under Sifu Randy Williams (he worked as Seagal's bodyguard) then continued learning Wing Chun under GM Samuel Kwok... there are the videos where Seagal and Kwok are doing together Aikido and Wing Chun seminars. Finally, Seagal commented that he is very interested in Systema (Russian martial art and is also used for Self Defense)

Former soldier, cop, bodyguard and bouncer when I was young. Practiced Muay Thai and Aikido. 26-2 Muay thai record until I was 30 yrs old. Then I grew up. I have never been beat in a street fight and took many violent perps to jail and threw 100s out of bars and 100% protection rate as a bodyguard. I've been unarmed and attacked by three guys, one with a knife, and have a scar on my face as a reminder. They have two broken arms and a knife wound in the leg to remind them of our special get together. Only had to take out two as the third just wanted to take his buddies to the hospital and GTFO. That same nasty elbow relocation you see Seagal do in movies....it's real, it's easy and it must hurt tremendously!! As for the stab wound, I was drunk and fell down and needed a place to put the knife I took away from him. Back of his leg worked fine. Seagal is a master. Aikido guys know their capabilities and when to use it. I avoid fighting as much as possible, because I will mess you up if you push it. I will even walk away in embarrassing frustration, if I can. A couple of years ago I had a neighbor that was a bit annoying. I called the police to shut him up before confronting him. They showed up and thought we should talk it out. They came over and the neighbor said "you didn't have to call the cops if you just came over and talked to me LIKE A MAN". Says he after being arrested a few months before for attacking another neighbor. If he was capable of being spoken to LIKE A MAN, I might have. However, in front of the cops, I explained. I didn't call them to protect me from you. I called them to protect YOU from ME. We have been decent friends since and he has behaved admirably! My point is this is classic Aikido guy. Seagal is the real deal at least in his art as far as I can tell. Why hasn't all those hollywood karate mouths ever challenged him to his face? They are scared little men with a fragile ego. I mean, c'mom douches, Steves not hard to find if you REALLY want to fight! I have met and spent time with many notable martial artists and famous martial art actors through my life and NONE have ever questioned Seagal or anyone else until they have met in the ring or the street in combat. I have never found any of them talking shit on the net about Seagal. Why? Because THEY are the real deal too and have class and respect. So Jesse, I really like your vids! esp all the muay thai and this! Watched for a long time now but threw back a few beers and watched this again and just couldn't keep quiet!

100% jujitsu works in a MMA ring but he's not talking about fighting in a ring he's talking about street fighting. Steven Seagal is a jerk but he knows what he's talking about. Half the people who talk shit about him are armchair warriors the other half are 20 year old mma fighters talking shit to a 70 old. He's absolutely right I would not want to be on the ground either(I have been on the ground and it sucked the guy I was rumbling with his brother started kicking me in the head luckily my friend who was there dealt with him or I would have in trouble.) Ground work would work dandy in a ring but if you're taking on two or three guys who are not fighting fare on the ground is the last place you want to be. Jujitsu is totally legitimate in a one on one situation in mma but you if get on top of a guy on the street and his buddies will start stopping on your head it gonna hurt. The stuff Seagal is talking about about having your head and neck vulnerable is legit. You can have a guy in the best jujitsu hold on the street but if his buddies come up and start stopping you on the in the head you're absolutely fucked. He's teaching these guys how to end a fight quick with no rules. Most of the stuff he is teaching would not even be allowed in UFC. And he has a different style than traditional aikido which is totally defensive. He says in the video he's focusing on offense. How to kill a motherfucker quick and it would work on the street especially in a perfect situation with guys trying to learn haymakers. If you can break their wrists you disarm them.

[@addictedtochocolate920]

Small issue with the "you were in the battlefield when using these techniques": In the battlefield you had weapons and armor. Hand to hand was most prominent in armoured combat because weapons were ineffective against armor, and it wasn't used to kill, but to subdue (get the other person in the ground) and then finish them off with a tantō. You wouldn't see Samurai trying to kill people by karate chopping them or choking them; they had blades to do that, so these techniques wouldn't be the deadliest to start with. People like him are the reason why Samurai, bushido and historical feudal Japan is so misunderstood/romanticized

He speaks fluent japanese and his kick was pretty damn fast and good for his weight. You can see the difference in his punches, it was tought us in Bujinkan the same way: You dont stop before the target, you dont touch the target with your punch, but you have to imagine to hit something BEHIND your target or at least 3-4 inches IN your target. He is absolutely right about ground-fighting, that's why we trained in Bujinkan the rolls: From no matter what situation, you roll fast away and stand up quick. Martial arts is no cage-fighting, martial arts came from the battlegrounds where it was about your life and nothing more and nothing less.

I'm a wrestler and did BJJ for a while. While I know some grapplers don't like what he has to say about grappling, I can't disagree with much he said in the video (though he is wrong about how easy it is to defend takedowns). When he was talking about grappling, it was largely in the context of people on a battlefield fighting with swords and spears. However, there will be a lot of times you will go to the ground, whether you want to or not, and knowing how to wrestle could prevent that or get you out of it. I don't think Seagal really understands grappling and I would bet on any NCAA wrestler over him in his prime but I still respect what he had to say in this video and he is certainly right for the most part about most of the other things he said. This video gave me a new found respect for Sensei Seagal and it was certainly well done. Thank you for giving this to us.

And I don’t think you understand the strength of a deliberate Eye poke, you see it a lot in the UFC but it’s not on purpose.

[@t-mo5984]

I think it's hard to judge someone's 'understandings' by just watching this snapshot. It's about really serious real life situations on battlefield in the life of a samurai. When there's a fight, then it's definitely serious and therefore a quick and effective handling gets used to end the conflict, being safe and ready for other situations. I guess with BJJ and grappling your mostly within the 10% ground mentioned, which can be different then in a dojo or gym, and in general grappling, canoodling is definitely not quick and safe by method itself, though you might be skilled to be effective enough.

This actually causes me to respect him a little more than I had. I would like to see him throw around equal or larger people. I can throw around smaller guys all day, but that doesn't mean I possess superior technique. Many people forget the origins of Aikido and Aikijujutsu. They are both derived from battlefield arts. Many techniques aren't designed for use in dueling, but in the movement and chaos of battle. In a multiple person fight, people are moving and someone is going to overcommit to reach someone and that is the realm where many of these movements were created.

My thoughts exactly. I train in kung fu principles some are from wing chun which has orgins in kuntao.

Also alot of practitioners don't have any internal training like chi gung and tendon training which i recommend is necessary to take your science to another level. Seagal here is describing science
