I'm no martial arts expert, but that looks a tad choreographed.
As I mentioned on another thread, Aikido was the first martial art that I formally studied and trained in. I was 10 years old at the time. Back in the day when Morihei Ueshiba was young and still had testosterone coursing through his veins and living at a time when Japan was a militaristic, samurai, kick ass culture; Aikido was brutal. I use to read as a kid how they had to mop up the blood on the mats after training. Even as a preteen that was the kind of shit I wanted. But when Ueshiba got older he became more "spiritual" and pacifistic and took competition and free no holds bar training out of the discipline. The academy I trained at was about as pure and authentic as what they were doing in Japan. It wasn't just some gym or a high school where they laid out mats for the night. It was an academy where the instructors from Japan lived and worked.
Aikido as it is practiced today is an utterly worthless martial art. Six months of serious boxing or Jiu-Jitsu training will put you heads and tails above the average street punk. Years of training in Aikido alone will guarantee that you will get your ass kicked by someone who has some working knowledge and skill to throw a punch. I speak from experience. Whenever I got into a fight with someone I'd start off trying the Aikido stuff, realized that guys didn't just mindlessly rush me and roll when I tried to throw them and inevitably had to revert back to some good old fashion hand throwing to save my scrawny preteen and teenage ass from being handed to me.
Watch any Aikido demonstration. Any one. Doesn't make a whit of a difference. It's all the same. Bunch of guys just rushing the master and being thrown around like stuffed teddy bears. There's less than five techniques that are being used and usually just three.
No one fights like that in real life, no one attacks like that, no one just rushed you like that. Unless of course they're drunk or it's your girlfriend who just found out you plowed her younger sister.
Love Seagal's early work though. "Above the Law" was classic. And I never get tired of that bar scene in "Out For Justice"
I always wanted to do shit like that. Walk into some place filled with punks, low life and thugs and just kick some major ass. Of course in real life Seagal, as well as myself, would have been drawn and quartered and left for the maggots in the trash bin. Still, great fantasy. "Anybody see Richie! Anybody know why Richie did Bobby Lupo?" LOL! I love shit like that. Never gets old.
