Akido, Steven Seagal, painful

[Donny]

hes pulling your chain mate

the restraints and holds and takedowns

were designed specifically for law enforcement

they are designed to inflict minimum injury

akido is for snapping shit and fucking it up

Aikido is about harmony.. the way of Harmony. I still try to perfect my Sabaki. Jo and Ken i practise to this day.

Shimizu Sensei... i met him in Germany and Christian Tissier.

Its like fucking ballet dancing

[CARTEL]

I would compare Aikido to Tai Chi.

I may be way off base but it seems more like a spiritual thing than an actual martial art for combat.

Aikido is for advanced people.

I'm dead serious. A high school wrestler would double leg these fools in about twenty seconds get a full mount and it would be over. That stuff is high level but it's all show. I did two kinds of martial arts growing up. Both were variations of karate. We did light sparring that was it. Both greatly improved my flexibility coordination speed accuracy etc. But when it came down too it I still didn't really know how to fight.

I learned more in one year of high school wrestling. It's super effective if you get in a one on one fight. We use to get into with the rival school the didn't have a wrestling program. It was always double leg once the guy is down you drop bombs it's over.

Add some boxing on top of that you have a deadly combatant

Painful to watch. True Seagal is 63 years old but when you look at guys like Norris and Stallone he seems like he can hardly move. Just lumbers around. I like his
look though. Looks like a bad ass. Big and burly. I think he's about 6'5".

I studied Akido for about two years starting from the age of 8 years. Trying to apply it in real life situations I realized that it is an utterly useless martial art.
Maybe it was effective during Ueshiba's time but ever since they took out no holds bar training and choreograph everything it's become so watered down that it actually is worse than useless because it's practitioners actually believe they can defend themselves.

Every Akido demonstration I've seen is always the same. One guy effortlessly throwing around a bunch of other guys "attacking" in a way that would never happen
in real life. Which is why an Akido practitioner could never defend themselves like that in real life.

Looks great in movies, though.

In his newer movies,not that I have ever made it through one of them,during fight scenes they just show a body moving,no head attatched shots.


He looks like Bela Lugosi in Plan 9 From Outer Space.


Time was unkind to our fat friend.

[thegamechanger]

how much you reckon seagal weigh these days and how many calories do you think he consumes?

[geeizback]

in seagals defence I saw a programme about him a while back and he was working on a boat as a chef. you are bound to put on weight surrounded by food and without a dojo to train at.

[thegamechanger]

dude is also good for 15 million dollars, if you had that kinda money and you could go on any restaurants all day, all week, travel to different cities, different countries... it would be a pretty miserable life not to allow yourself to eat ... i mean chicken rice and broccoli doesnt really do it anymore.

[geeizback]

then again with 15 mill he could live on pretty much muscle tech and cybergenics.

and stop looking like fu man motherfucking chu

[maxkane69]

segal is an old man

back in the day he was respected world wide as  martial artist

word is he has had many fights to the death

and knows the secret five finger death punch

I await his debut in the ufc with great eagerness

Legit source inside the UFC told me that Dana White and the Fertitta brothers are strongly against Steven Segal participating in any UFC fight.
Infact Dana White and the Fertitta brothers knows that Segal would literally kill Cain Velasquez in the octagon and in front millions of peoples around the world watching the PPV event. And a murder in a such high profile UFC event would problably cause the USA Senate ban MMA  !!!
The rumors about Segal knowing the secret five finger death punch and him having many fights to the death are all true.
Back in the 80' a friend of mine , who is a Yakuza affiliate , shipped to me a VHS tape regarding a Clandestine Fighting Tournament in an undisclosed location in Asia were Steven Segal killed all his opponents.
The Yakuza boss , who organized the Clandestine Fighting Tournament, was horrified by the brutality displayed by Segal killing all his opponents and banned Segal from ever participating again.
I was hunted for years from the vision of that VHS tape, by the ferocity and cruelty that Segal used in killing the other fighters !!!
Another incident regarding Segal steam from an infamous encounter at Roxbury night Club in Hollywood ,between Mike Tyson and the Akido Master that happened back in the early 90'.
I was very young at the time and my buddy Marcellus from the Gold's Gym Venice was a bouncer working at the Roxbury Club at the time.
Marcellus told that one night Tyson and his all entourage were harassing all the girls and bullying the bouncers ,making very unconfortable for the patrons to enjoy the night out at the club. Well... when all at the sudden Steven Segal make the entrance to club , one of the hottest waitress who was working at the club goes to Segal and ask him if could make Tyson stop the harassing. Segal walk to Tyson and tell him to stop behaving like an animal. Tyson was terrified by the presence of Steven Segal and his cold eyes and left the Roxbury Club with his crew without ever coming back !!!
Next day Don King after hearing the incident from Tyson entourage ,shipped a case of rare and expensive red wine from France to Segal as a thank you gift for not beating up and ruin the career of his precious prize fighter !!!
Steven Segal nowday is not fat, but he is an healthy permabulker who use his added bodyweight to be more deadly whenever struck a blow due the increased force.

Does this guy win?

Seagal is an obvious fraud, anybody who understands martial arts knows this.  I would argue that if you are as old as Seagal, and you have failed to learn how to control your appetite and weight, you haven't even begun to understand even the basic principles of martial arts.
