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.

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.

[@johns7530]

Yeah for all the ways people make fun of him, he's still a badass dude who was a legit martial artist. Joe Rogan knows a lot about fighting, and said that there is no doubt as far as Aikido goes, Seagal was absolutely legit. It isn't the best style for fighting, but the man definitely had some skill and when he was younger would have been a formidable opponent for anybody who was not himself an experienced and skilled fighter.

[@fredzep01]

[@cameronpickard7456]

[@madglee]

I agree with your assessment, felt the same way. Also, "we will sever the brainsteam" just came out of his mouth.

[@will.roman-ros]

I study kenjutsu from Miyamoto Musashi, and so did Bruce Lee. In fact, open any military training manual on hand to hand combat, and one will find many similarities to Musashi's Five Rings. The samurai were not only killers, but wise teachers who knew how to easily articulate all facets of combat. No other book is as holistic on combat as the Book of Five Rings. It even teaches the concept of training different tempos, and studying arts you don't even find practical, just to be ready for opponents with those styles. It is a book that teaches to learn through practice and sparring vs practicing isolated techniques and routines. So Seagal should prob not be messed with, even in age he probably keeps some reflexes, and practicing kenjutsu involves learning to see 0.1 second strikes.

[@matzerias]

The sword and empty hand theory, the non telegraphing punches and kicks, zen (chin. Chan), Taoism, spirituality... So much reminds me of my Wing Chun training. Martial arts are awesome and so much more than punching someone in the face. Thanks Jessy for sharing all this with us. 🙏🙂

[@mbunji]

My thoughts exactly. I train in kung fu principles some are from wing chun which has orgins in kuntao. I learned when you look at every system from the place on principle and not technique you will see the similarities from empty handed karate akijitisu wing chun and etc. The problem is that most young teachers in this era have a very limited degree of science and therefore they tend to rely on attributes and not the science. 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

[@4ndyF]

Oh yes! Nearly everything is similar! Look at the "Bong Sao/Wu Sao" for defendig a punch. The theory of triangles and circles. Not to forget the "Biu Gee"... Great video...

The foundation of Aikido is sword fighting or Iaido. The same principles apply. Square - You can block, but your sword will take damage and you may still get hurt. Triangle - Parry without damaging your sword or getting hurt. Circle - Parry and strike in one motion. It sounds funny now, but once you start training live blade, these principles are foundational.

Thank you for this interview. He is my childhood action hero. I see many YT Shorts of Steven Seagal and many commenters chime in and say he's fake. I tell them they don't know what they're talking about and they should tell him that to his face. I would be honored to know just a quarter of what he knows.

[@reginaldwelkin]

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.

The dude is 6'5" most people look like little dudes when getting "thrown around" by him. By the way, if you've never had someone snatch your wrist or arm, or just about any other part of you in an aikido move, you would know that if you didn't move with where he wanted you to go, your body part would likely break. I had a little teacher who weighed about 120 lbs and was in his 70's. I was in my mid twenties and 230 lbs (solid weightlifting lbs) and the dude could make me do whatever he wanted once he snatch me, quick as a snake.

Hey, thank you so much for traveling and meeting with Steven to bring us this interview. There's a lot of good stuff in this video and it's most definitely worth a rewatch. What Steven about the lack of appreciation of the teachers and the excessive use of the mouth is pretty spot on. I almost didn't watch the video initially due to the reputation Steven had (I don't know much about him but often heard his reputation questioned). In these times, there's so much harm done to people's reputation without basis and it's important to give them a platform as well in order to hear both sides. This video is also quite motivating to delve in to the Japanese martial arts. I really appreciated the exploration of the spiritual aspects in the conversation as well.

Doing unnecessarily physical, forceful contact without any warning or clearance knowing the stuntmen won't retaliate.
