Nobody ever hired Seagal to teach them anything, he latched onto them like a leech. They just happened to be fans of his movies and he took that opportunity to weasel his way into PRETENDING to train them. They were just polite so they indulged him. You are obviously oblivious to techniques that washed up actors use in a desperate attempt to stay relevant. Seagal is using any opportunity he can to remain in the spotlight, using a couple of UFC fighters to do so is just another ploy. His latest one is to latch on to Vladimir Putin. Once the fighters realized what he was up to and taking credit for their hard work, they quickly distanced themselves from him.
Well, it depends whose lies you are eager to believe, and as we know, any fucking lie is good enough for you guys. As story goes, Silva contacted Seagal and they met few times, Segal help him refine some movements, which is all true and just like Silva says in that interview. Everything else is deliberate misunderstanding and misrepresenting the matter, done by envy brats and haters like you. And lets see what that another MMA fighter, Lyoto Machida, says about the matter: "I train this kick a lot. I've had it in my arsenal, and I just had to wait for the right moment to pull the trigger and utilize it. The technique itself [Silva and I have] both known for a long time. But I definitely think Steven Seagal being involved and influencing us and helping us perfect the kick definitely made a difference....[Seagal] always reinforced that to me – to try that kick. 'That kick will land, and it will work.' I definitely give credit to him for helping me perfect that kick."
So is he saying that Seagal teach everything he knows about the martial arts, or do he tell that Seagal help him to perfect that kick? Of course you could blow that out of proportions by lying what ever comes to your pervert little mind, but there is always also the truth. Watch those videos what are available, and try to understand what there is going on. Just keep on mind that Seagal is 62 years old, 6" tall and weights something like 350lb, so he is fat old guy. You don't see him doing cartwheels or jump kicks because he is too fat.
Why on Earth would the most successful UFC champion NEED a B Grade actor to teach him how to fight. Look Ropo, you obviously have a hard-on for Seagal and a deep need to believe that he is the real deal, but he is an ACTOR, not a fighter. The idea that a portly Aikido guy taught two kicking masters a kick that is learned in every child's first karate class is absurd. Don't forget, Seagal was chocked out by an old man and actually SHIT his pants, stinking up the place, all in front of dozens of witnesses.
You clearly get a hard-on when you can spread those rumors, which you believe like all other crap, without any thinking at all. In situation like Segall vs Lebell, who has everything to lose, and who has everything to gain? Would you hear the absolute truth from the pitiful has been like Lebell, which just about no one even know who the fuck he is? Why Seagal would even start to play with the old bum like that? I bet it is just like Seagal says, it never happen. And what dozens of witnesses? Like those imaginary witnesses, who pop out from the woodwork to witness every fucking foil hat theory? How many dozen would fit in one trailer, where all of this happen? And why this is happening larger than life for you and the haters? Because there this fake martial artist meet his destiny, by the hands of the JUDO MASTER. So Aikido is fake martial art, and judo isn't? In fact, they are from same branch of the martial arts family three, both evolved from Japanese jujitsu at the same time. On the technical side, Aikido is rooted in several styles of jujitsu (from which modern judo is also derived), in particular daitoryu-(aiki)jujitsu, as well as sword and spear fighting arts. So it is just as fake as all of the martial arts, those which MMA has has born from.
Fellow Brazilian and top ranked UFC Fighter Damian Maia had this to say about the dubious relationship between the fighters and the B Grade movie actor. "The bloated fake martial artist and movie actor Steven Seagal has absolutely nothing to teach a real fighter like Silva, and everyone knows it. That’s a lie, it is marketing. He never taught anything to Anderson…it is a joke.”
This is a direct quote from Anderson Silva "Steven Seagal is good man. There’s no coach, no train me, but is good man. Just a good person, that’s it. … Yeah, I train the front kick for long time. I start to train martial arts for long time ago. Steven Seagal showed me the movement, the little movement, but don’t teach me this kick. Because I working hard for this kick for long time in my life."
So, if it is marketing, who is marketing what? Did Silva and that another guy have a need to make fool out themselves by taping actor teaching them how to fight? Who gain and what in this marketing act? If Seagal is only part who would benefit from it, because these fighter has lost all their street credibility, why bother to kiss his ass? There has to be motive why these fighters let those videos spread all over the internet. What it would be? You can't answer, because you never think things that far. Truth is just as it has been said, Segal help them refine some of the movements, and they were quite happy for it, until Rogan and bunch of complete assholes start their crap throwing campaign. After Silva realize that his credibility is on the line, he start to take some distance about the matter.
HEY LYOTO, DO THIS
Have you even watch that complete video? In that clip Seagal shows how to close the distance to the opponent in the way, which gives you the opportunity to use front kick straight from the step without stop or jump. This clip only prove that you are happy to eat all the crap what foil hat produce at the front of you, without any thinking at all. If you watch the original video, you learn that Seagal is giving only some pointers, show few variations to concern, and no matter if you understand it or not, those pointers make sense. Problem with you guys is that you lack perspective, you lack the vision about the martial arts, because all you do in your life is sitting at the front of the computer screen and try to find things to hate. Do you even understand how sad that is?
