If he doesn't have grappling experience and the area is disadvantageous then honestly it becomes a completely different ballgame. Right now he might be a bag of spoiled meat in a party city costume but at his prime he was a big guy, and even though Aikido is kinda closer to bullshit than Wrestling, Judo, BJJ, Sambo... if he managed to throw Gabriel it might be a very unpleasant impact. In a ring where he could manage distance I'd imagine he could just pick away at him until he went into deep waters. There's no way a guy who runs like that does roadwork.

Segal used to be fairly famous in Brazil, specially in the 90s…so guys in the late 30s/early 40s, such as myself have watched countless reruns of his movies…we had a afternoon tv slot for lower budget/older movies called “Sessao da tarde”(afternoon session), and many Segal movies would be featured on it… I guess it’s kind of cool to meet the guy in person, idk…😅 Add the language barrier to it, and they might fail to understand how in bad faith he’s acting…from interviews in Portuguese with Anderson, Lyoto, Alex and some of their trainers, they see this as an opportunity to meet a movie star from their childhood, plus a lifelong martial artist that will show some nice cool looking moves… And in all fairness, some of those might kind of work in specific circumstances, such as the fighting against the wall/cage…I’ve seen Pereira chopping on arms and legs from the clinch and bottom of the guard, so these might work for him…I mean, I keep my mind open to everything, if it works, it works….heck, I’ve seen people pulling out crazy moves in MMA… I remember one guy landing a helicopter armbar! Do I thinks those moves are awesome? NO Do I think Alex will bring a completely different, Akido based game? HECK NO Could he begin to think abou different angles and targets for attack after these meeting? Maybe, idk… All I know is that he had fun, that’s all that matters CHAMA 🗿

[@AdobadoFantastico]

I think they understand him as a performer and he's showing them part of his performance. He may have a personal delusion about what it means, but they are secure enough to give zero fucks. I'd fuck around and waste some time with him for shits and giggles.

[@AztecUnshaven]

Alex's coaches were genuinely impressed by Seagal. You can find his coaches interviews in Portuguese. People love to hate what they don't understand. Seagal has trained Karate and Gongfu as long as Aikido. His Aiki Budo is closer to old WW2 hardcore Samurai Jujitsu. His black belt testing is brutal. He really did help Lyoto refine his Mae Geri technique. There's tons of footage of them training together privately on front kick drills.

[@RancorousSea]

@@AztecUnshaven Yeah man and Silva and Machida respected him too. That's why there's footage of them making fun of him.

[@AztecUnshaven]

@@RancorousSea Lol, let's analyze that response: 1.) Machida was not in any video making fun of him. He and his brother Chinzo have been in over 6 different interviews in English and Portugese stating that Seagal's skills are real. How are you ignoring this? Lol. 2.) Anderson Silva made a lighthearted video with a few of his buddies poking fun at Seagal's mannerisms and clothing style. Machida was never there in that video. 3.) Anderson has stated on at least 10 different occasions in longform interviews (in Portugese and English) that Seagal truly has knowledge and helped him refine his front kick. This is a fact, regardless of whether we like Seagal or not. 4.) You're conveniently forgetting that Anderson makes fun of EVERYONE. He's made fun of Wanderlei Silva, he's made fun of Machida, he's made fun of Dana White, he's made fun of Chael Sonnen, he's made fun of his own coaches numerous times. So by your own goofy logic, none of those fighters are "real" either? Lmao.

The real question is why do these MMA fighters train with Seagal?? The guy is full of BS, yet for some reason some of these top level MMA fighters go to learn from him.

[@marbleramirez6809]

If i really had to guess, its probably Seagal or his PR team reaching out to try to get some kind of buzz or attention around his name and the fighters giving him a day for the heck of it

[@jameslkiii]

The guy's personal life has been exposed as a mess in the U.S., but it looks like to Brazil he's still an action movie star. His run in the 90's is underrated, maybe because he's viewed as a joke now, but no other martial artists from that era came close. He introduced pretty brutal breaks and takedowns to fight scenes that hadn't been seen before. Jesse Enkamp interviewed him on his channel, and Steven does seem to have some legit self-defense techniques. Like Gabriel said though these don't necessarily translate to MMA.

[@OptimusSatanas]

@@jameslkiii Steven had real skills, but it was overshadowed by his ego, his choice of martial art, and has become out of shape and old. Many of the people talking about steven dont really know anything about martial arts and body mechanics.

[@interestedparty7523]

I can see Dana White pushing it to bring interest.

[@cringusmoss9937]

I once heard a documentary refer to him training Silva as "an elaborate and esoteric practical joke". I legitamely can't tell if it's just star power or a way for fighters to diss their opponents. "I'm so unworried I'm playing around with the Shuffling Sensei."

It's just publicity. It's for the fans. It's like an advertisement for both celebrities be with each other. It's gets both sides talking. You also have to keep in mind that a lot of people don't know who Seagal really is so a lot still think he's a real fighter like he is in movies

[@M_K-Bomb]

I can't understand how some people think hammer fists are as good as regular knuckle punches. They don't have much follow through power. You see both traditional martial artists and self-defence guys teaching it, it's a bit of a laugh. Great to get Gabriel to explain how some of the stuff wouldn't work as I was thinking myself how bad was some of the stuff, but I couldn't quite know how to explain it.

[@moreparrotsmoredereks2275]

When people overcommit to punches and fail to retract them properly, sometimes its possible to grab do something with it. Nothing like Seagal is showing, but I have successfully arm dragged people off of an overhand, or slipped their cross, trapped it with my opposite hand and landed a lead hook while their hand is stuck. I wouldn't try it in a fight, but sometimes I'll do it in sparring.

[@RancorousSea]

I genuinely love that he's teaching them reverse karate chop moves that are less painful than a 15 year old freshman wrestler giving you their first crossface, with the genuine certainty that it will become the Knights of the Round of Alex Pereira's toolkit.

Literally all you have to do to defend against the “ridge hand to the neck” is lift your shoulder. One strike probably won’t be debilitating, so while they’re busy trying to karate chop you, you can do something way worse back to them.

[@GangsterFrankensteinComputer]

Checked the UFC rules, they classify wrists and ankles as large joints, so they're fair game.

[@elserpientethechamp2122]

What an interesting video of Seagail Teaching Pereira but in all honesty some of these techniques which Seagal teaches to Pereira like how to scoop a front kick or how to throw a body hook just sound a bit ridiculous to me because Pereira is a Glory Kickboxing World Champion like you Gabriel but overall definetly an amazing video as always!

[@Election0747]

About that grabbing stuff. Ive been doing a lot JKD and FMA were we practise a lot of stuff like that. Grab it, pull, backfist, salute, defang the snake, gunting. Then hit here, kick there and throw.

[@superfly19751]

Brazilian elite fighters have this thing about Master Seagal. To me, the only sure thing about Master Seagal is you won’t get up if he sits on you.

[@clintj]

Much is impractical, especially for someone that is new to Seagal's style, like Perreira, but the strikes when pressed up against the fence can work, because its not about being smashed in the face and Seagal did stress the location of where to strike. Ultimately its the same as being punched or kicked on or around the ear, its the equilibrium that goes. I think that's the take away there... don't just hit the head, be specific with the spot you are striking to cause that problem for the opponent. That's what I took out of it anyway. A lot of MMA guys on here just discredit everything that is not MMA... but why do you think Perreira, Silva and Machida sought his experience? A true martial artist will learn whatever they can and make it work for them.

[@bblvrable]

1. Gabriel actually likes Seagal movies? Yikes. Under Siege was moderately tolerable, but that's more due to Tommy Lee Jones and the quality of the script than anything Seagal did in that movie. The rest of his catalogue is atrocious, with his recent direct-to-DVD releases being absolute jokes. To me, if I want to watch an 80s/90s martial arts movie, I'm going with JCVD every time. Under Siege doesn't come close to Kickboxer, Bloodsport, Time Cop, or hell, even Cyborg... it's maybe close to Street Fighter. 2. Seagal has difficulties standing for any length of time and moves in slow motion. How Gabriel believes he might not be able to take Seagal in a no-rules fight is beyond me. Yes, Seagal outweighs him by over 150lbs, but I've seen both of them move, and there's no way Seagal would ever be able to touch Gabriel. 3. The weirdest thing about Seagal taking credit for what are pretty basic and standard front-kicks is that kicks aren't really a thing in Aikido (primarily because it's hard to throw kicks while wearing a dress). The idea that a fat old man from a martial arts discipline that doesn't really involve kicks teaching either a 3rd Dan Shotokan karateka or a 5th Dan Taekwondo fighter how to throw the most basic high front-kick is absolutely hilarious.

[@Pablo.B.M.]

I dont have any sources but i do remember Aikido being described as making a lot more sense when you think of your opponent holding a sword or knife. I believe the strange hand clasps that are sometimes insisted on are to avpid cutting yourself on a held blade. It would also explain why they emphasize so many overly-commited attacks. I believe it is because they are anticipating someone swinging a sword. Thats all second hand conjecture but it made a lot of sense to me.

But sword strikes are snappy as all hell - it doesn't take much force at all to cut someone with a sharp blade

That's an a-posteriori excuse. Aikido guys don't train with practice knives or swords or anything. And the founder of Aikido told people not to spar. It's really problematic to the core.
