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!

All I can say is I worked on Under Siege right after college for months. Seagal invited me on his bus after I said I’d like to speak with him. He invited my Aikido senseis to the set, USS Alabama, where he spent all night with them between takes. And on my final day pulled out his black book and gave me Aikido dojo info as I was moving to Japan. 32 years later, I’m still here. He was kind to me and my friends.

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.

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.

I dont know how you guys pulled this off but I am super impressed

[@Pedro-lg9wz]

Sensei jesse, this was one of the best seagal interviews I've seen in a while. You can tell he knows his craft, regardless if people give him credit or not. Looking forward to the second part

[@0713mas]

This is best Steven Segal interview I've seen. Usually they show a quick clip and he seems a bit full of himself or awkward and staged. Definitely more genuine and makes a lot of sense, grunt level warriors would not have multiple systems of combat! It's very logical for the system to be based on weapon techniques, both offensively, defensively and simultaneously by emplying a strike parries strike type of mentality along with the standard, shield, move, strike, move strategy. Good stuff, seems very legit and he still has that star charisma on film!

[@mikefitzpatrick43]

Agreed. Especially doing this at his age

[@LiquidAnomaly]

he's still full of himself he also had techniques

[@edwardbutka4750]

I agree. He generally used to come off as a jerk to me. But, in this video, he really impressed me with his knowledge, willingness to teach and his level delivery of the subject matter.

[@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...

[@mbunji]

@@4ndyF yes you are right. Good eye for detail

[@MrZillas]

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.

[@joelitrento3267]

People hate Seagal because he's really a dick in real life (things about his ex wife) and people think he's not a legit martial arts master because of this, plus his overweight for years and made terrible films just for the payout. Watch his early stuff and Pistol Whipped, Belly of the Beast, he's great on it. He's fucking legit. People doesn't need to be good on every aspect of their life to be good at something.

If you watch carefully Ueshiba on footages, you can detect, this was exactly his budo. What we interpret as aikido today, is the external form of late Ueshiba's motions, copied by thousands of aikidokas without a real intention.
