[@carlreynolds1111]

Yes you have to throw yourself in the direction your wrist is being turned to or you will break your wrist . The idea of rolling out of the technique is to save yourself from broken shoulders wrists etc That’s why I’m aikido you look like you’re just falling over . But you are avoiding injury in the Steven sea gal aikido . The guy Asian who gets kit into the floor was a student if his . He falls backwards to avoid the full thrust of the iriminage neck hit. So Seagaks aikido is brutal I took it fir 6 years . The shit hurts if you don’t roll out or fall correctly.

[@farlonmuentes6004]

@@carlreynolds1111 so in short, aikido doesn't have any practical use whatsoever coz no one would charge someone at a street brawl like that. even someone who doesn't know how to fight doesn't throw his whole body for an attack. in real life, you can't catch someone hands even if they are just flailing around. aikido is so choreographed that there is no real spar while on other martial arts like taekwondo, a newbie could lose a tooth just from sparring.

[@foilhattiest1]

@@farlonmuentes6004 You're very right about how unrealistic the running attacks are. Now you could of course apply most wrist techniques against an opponent who's standing still as well, they don't have to be running, but again your other point is also valid that it's still very hard to grab someones wrist exactly right in a real brawl. I wouldn't however say that these sorts of techniques have no practical use whatsoever. I actually think they're pretty good techniques for women to learn for "escape and run away" type self defense, because a lot of men are a lot more likely to grab a woman to try to control her than just punch her out, so a lot of the "breaking free from holds" type techniques makes more sense for women to learn I think. But for a man who wants to learn how to fight, yeah might as well just skip aikido completely :)

[@stephanvishnu3759]

Its acting. Its a making of a movie. You expect him and his students to actually get into a real fight? Ok, im not an actor but just an ordinary trainer. Extreme AIKIDO DOJO Malaysia. THERES no directors saying cut. So why dont you try to go toe on toe with me? And yes, i agree everyone will get old. But for yall to JUST judge him now, THATS really silly.

Also, he must have hair plugs or something going on as if you look at his hairline in those old black and white clips it’s completely different and receded compared to how it is now and throughout his Hollywood movie career. His personality generally comes off as someone who’s fairly vain as well. Just sayin. 😉

Not so sure I'd say the same for Steven, but their best is seen when they have the right directors and people working with them.

[@chazly30]

I personally didn't know Van Damme could actually act until JCVD. By then it was too late. Movie culture/cinematic fight choreography had already moved on. At that point he's older and you're competing with Jackie Chan, Scott Adkins, Michael Ja White, etc, etc. You think people will pay to see you do the same shit you been doing for 2 decades prier.

[@MorvoldPress]

It's both. I'm not saying Aikido is some great, practical defense in street fights, but they're in a class. And they are doing/practicing EXACTLY what you're saying. The person in the middle (SS) is attempting to quickly interpret, react and employ an Aikido response to each attacker (who should be doing different things), while the people coming at him are practicing breakfalls and movements that would normally be used to avoid having an arm/wrist broken, were the move employed full-force/full-speed. It's not meant to be 5 people trying to take people down as fast as they can, or to simulate a real-world street fight, like many people seem to believe. I don't know if those people have never taken an Aikido class, but it helps to understand what's actually happening and why before making judgements.

[@Alan_Page]

Seagal’s first wife basically opened the school in Japan. And there’s a story where his black belt in Aikido may have been awarded by a judge who fell asleep during his demonstration. Also the way he runs in Above the Law (when he’s chasing some dude), should have been a red flag that something was seriously wrong. Still though at one point in order to further his career the dude set out to meet Kelly LeBrock, who every young guy wanted at the time after that Weird Science movie. And he not only met her, but he married her and had a kid with her. And this was before he was a movie star I believe.

[@jamescon55]

Actually 🤔...I think Seagal got with LeBrock RIGHT after she basically starred in one of those early Seagal movies. And Alissa LeBrock is their daughter (who's in her mid 20s) and is a big girl model. Has her mom's looks and, yeah, her dad's body so....And yes, Seagal's 1st wife, her parents originally owed that dojo in which his wife inherited. Whether Seagal's name WAS EVER on the place? IS really, anyone's guess. But yeah, he evidently was, one of the 1st "white American dudes" to "instruct Aikido in Japan" for sure.

[@guido3771]

[@kulsevdasi]

Anything with Edward Norton I could listen to all day, but him talking about the most unintentionally funny man ever? Thats just the cherry on top. Its almost weird how respectful he is.

[@puepole]

He and Rogan are appreciating how cool they thought Seagal was in the 80s, but they both know what a joke he became. You have to remember that in the 80s martial arts movies were all about flashy kicks with Karate Kid, Chuck Norris, etc, but Seagal came in and made martial arts strikes seem short, sharp and brutal. On top of that the plot of the movie revolves around CIA drug trafficking, the mafia, and an ex Vietnam vet Chicago cop, rather than a martial arts tournament.

[@kulsevdasi]

@@puepole Yeah, no doubt. I just appreciate so much the way Edward Norton behaves as a human being, apart from his genius as an artist.

[@puepole]

@@kulsevdasi I agree. It's a shame Seagal couldn't just be a down to earth guy. He'd probably still be in mainstream movies if he stayed fit and acted like Jason Statham, Liam Neeson, and a bunch of other action stars who are cool in interviews. Instead, Seagal thinks that if people doubt his martial arts skills that he won't get respected anymore, but it would actually be the opposite. If he just said "it's fake, but it's fun" people would like him.

[@CollectorDuck]

Norton is being almost ridiculously respectful and mild. And I don't mean by not bringing up present day Seagal. But the way he phrases everything. Like Ed: "you know there was a little.. " Joe: "controversy?" Ed: "well.. you know how it is .. with different schools of thought" Not even wanting to say that people were unhappy he just refers to how we all know there will be issues when people disagree on fundamental ideas and how much drama there is in martial arts. Interesting how people frame him as difficult to work with. Sounds like he's just very stern and difficult when he knows he's right.

Segal’s got more hair now than he had then!!

[@rybackfrankie8679]

I think he got some hair transplant or hair growth treatment like minoxidil.

[@Arinisonfire]

He was heavily balding but got a hair transplant in the 90s but since the technology behind them wasnt so great back then, his hairline still ended up looking very thin and unnatural. So he started using hair loss concealer to fix his hairline, which actually can help make receding hairlines look a lot better when used in moderation. Seagal just uses way too much of it and it makes his hairline look totally ridiculous. Yeah I researched this. The dude's hair was just so fucked up that I couldnt help but be curious

Steven Seagal is the real deal. Everyone laughing at him or telling horrendous stories concerning his ego/character are obviously jealous of real men. Always the patriot, he stepped back from acting and clandestinely joined the U.S. Army Green Buffets and the U.S. Navy Meal Team 6. Seagal was also sworn in as a real-life sheriff's deputy of Dona Ana County, New Mexico, and the region has suffered 0 Yakuza attacks since then. Take that haters.

Joe: "And he made it look real, he made it look violent." That's because he was known to injured stuntmen, Joe. If I recall correctly, he just beat the stuntmen up on occasion during the fight scenes.

[@fanman71]

Having taken Akido courses in college I will say it was probably one of the least effective & most unrealistic of the martial arts. For joint locks I would've rather taken Hapkido (before MMA caught on).

[@meninpapin]

You probably had shit instructors

[@Fightingat40]

Aikido is aimed to be much more about mental conditioning and understanding how to use your balance and weight against an opponent. Someone who can truly grasp the overall concept and then mix it with other more practical martial arts has an advantage. Aikido on it's own is not very combat efficient, which you learn kind of early, as the whole mantra behind it is to avoid conflict if possible. But to say it is useless is like saying those boxing classes that focused on footwork were a waste of time. It is definitely not for people who want to learn to " fight ". But if you want to know how to avoid the fight in the first place it's a good martial art.

[@fanman71]

@@meninpapin I've taken Tae Kwon Do, Judo, Hapkiddo & Akido. Sorry but of these that I learned, Akido was the least realistic. Instructor aside, it wasn't what would help in a fight.

[@TheDestructodave520]

As long as I'm entertained I dont really care how eccentric or stupid some of these actors are in real life. Growing up as a kid, I loved Steven Seagal movies becuase they were so violent and completely against the norm of most martial arts movies. Almost all Martial arts movies at the time the good guy gets beat up, basically has a Goku Super Saiyan moment, and then beats the bad guy. Steven Seagal was my generation's One Punch Man. He never got beat up, didnt even get scratched. Just brutally stomped everyone he faced, and that really set those movies apart for me as a kid. It was really an excellent shtick looking back on it.
