Great breakdown Viking. Agree 100% with your comments. Segal has far more yo offer than what most people realise. He is a true master.
The dude is legit, I know someone that trained with him, and he was brutal and lightning fast.
when, 40 years ago?
Your dad trained with him? In the bathtub? Sick freak.
@@tyrone1544 everyone likes fuckin, not a big deal.
@@paladro what's the difference? He's not as tough when he's 75 years old, is that your argument? Half of us dont even get to that age.
@@bligh1156 Facts smh these guys bro. Man is over 70 now
I saw the Seagal video today and everything he taught them made perfect sense and you can see that he's the real deal.
Your positivity is awsome. Need more people like you in this world where it's easy to bring someone down rather than lift them up. ☯️
Gotta respect RUclipsrs like Viking Samurai and Jesse Enkamp who have taken the time to interview martial artists like Frank Dux and Steven Seagal (respectively) and get the information straight from the sources vs he say/she say internet trolls.
Frank Dux? LOL he is a certified liar and Seagal is a wife beating bully.
And people say Seagal is a fake Martial Artist? Well according to Jesse and some other Martial Artist's who have trained with him. Seagal is legit!
Lol. I can take him. And im not trolling. Within my first year of jkd and jujitsu, I have enough ability to take an aikido man or seagal bullshido
@@michaeltamares7974 you are incredibly naive
@Michael Tamares look up what Rickson Gracie’s thinks about segals skills.
Inwould tend to take his word over some rookie at everything.
Ok so obviously he is legit he just lies too much he said he fought Bruce lee and when Bruce died Steven was around 17 and only a purple belt he has also lied about cop training and cia stuff and much more but he is very good at a lot of martial arts he kinda also fakes some of his presentations
Sensei Seagal is indeed legit, keep in mind that he was out here representin our beloved Aikido and martial arts way before a lot of others👍 he trained with the old dogs you know⚘
I am so glad you posted this. The other one up for viewing I saw tended to lean to the negative more than the positive advice Segal Sensei was imparting to the young man it is surprisingly the same I tell my fellow aikidoka. Fight your way but make the attacker think you're going to fight his way take a couple minor hits until they get overconfident then they become sloppy. Then show them all kind of Aiki-Love LOL. There was some confusion on making and striking with the fist. The fist He shows is not a karate fist but a Chinese kung fu fist which is much stronger and packs more power. Yes, there are things the master's held back until they felt your character was correct to know certain knowledge which could cause serious injury; I know this it is my way also. Yep, the dojo wars in the 60 - 70's happened. I could go on explaining what was missed but it's a lot to write and I have a class to attend. Keep up the great work.
I have study martial arts all my life. I have also worked in some very tough bars as a bouncer I worked with Steven Seagal as his stuntman a few times. He is a big man and he keeps to him self. He was very nice to me. As I have said before Steven Seagal is for real he knows his stuff and he knows what he is talking about.
It's seems useful for very close combat, not for a sport where there space between fighters..
.
Love how Viking Samurai does a video on any channel.. some others may not want to promote another channel...but Viking Samurai does what we are curious about. Much respect
I have so much respect for you for keeping an open mind during this. It always baffled me how many people talked bad about Seagal but the guy is a true legend and has been a major inspiration for me and my fighting style.
Glad you picked this up @vikingsamurai I did Daito Aikijutsubwith my Tomiki Aikido instructor here in 1986 till 1989, Aikido the real stuff is cool. Also trained with Jesse San 5 years ago another great Karateka, it's awesome to see you break this video down. I just watched the 2nd one literally about 2 hours ago. Looking forward to your next upload. Keep up that amazing work bro.
Thank you so much for all your videos, I love everyone of them! Hope you're having the best week.
Great commentary. I love how you are always fair and objective and have intelligent analysis. You’re not swayed by the fan boys or the haters. Great content.
I really appreciate your views and opinions on Aikido, and I want to thank you for sharing them with your audience! There are precious few defenders of it out there these days, and even fewer that understand what they're talking about in regards to the subject. You're saying the things that need to be said.
I did watch the two videos of Steven Seagal from Jesse. It was great. As a karate instructor I will tell my students that an expert is not he or she who does complicated techniques but makes his simple techniques flawless. If a yellow belt black belt does a front kick their should be a difference. Fear not who does 1000 techniques but fear who does a technique 10000 times.
You ripped that off from Bruce Lee....Who was similar to Seagal ...a showman. But at least Lee was not a wife beating bully like Seagal
@@joereidy5732 paid shill ok
@@avoiceup3222 Hey there Sparky. All you have to do is defend Seagal if you think he's real. Go ahead ...try it
@@joereidy5732
Oh I get it you think it's about you verses some stranger..sounds like dissociative identity disorder oh well
@@avoiceup3222 And it sounds like you have "Post Removal Disorder." That happens when a person posts stupid crap and then decides to take it down. :-) . You can get help for that....until then post less and read more. BYE SPARKY!
Grew up watching Steven Seagal and was always a big fan of his unique style in the old days. I also grew up boxing and got into Brazilian jiu-jitsu just after high school. Not quite sure how applicable Aikido is compared to the aforementioned Styles and many others you see in MMA today. But I can appreciate it for what it is and still really enjoy his old movies.
This might be the first respectful interview of the guy.
Seagal is a big fat wife beating bully. Who always has to hurt someone in his demonstrations to feel like a tough guy
Back when I was younger I trained at Orange County Aikido where Steven Segal had earned his first dan black belt and prior to going over to Japan. The older guys there would tell stories about Steve or 'stevie' as they joked but what you take away from them was that Steven Segal had a tough, bold and commanding presence and just a tornado on the mat.
Yeah my neighbour sparred with him at a dutch exhibition back in the eighties and said he just ruined everybody there.
I love Steven Seagal.
I’m 45 now and I’ve grown up with Bruce Lee, Schwarzenegger, Stallone, van dame, and Seagal. And talk about who’s best. The talk would never stop. And still doesn’t lol.
I follow Jessie Enkamp and love his work.
I’m a 3rd degree in kempo and black sash in wing Chun.
My kids are now doing karate and I’m introducing the stars to them.
Seagal is right on so many levels and he is a true master.
I’m not perfect I train hard I’m fit and healthy and I demonstrated basic kata tonight and stuffed up. And how many times have I done it. 1000’s of times. We are all human.
I respect mma but I don’t agree with it I don’t think they’re martial artists but they can learn to fight fast but empty later.
Martial arts is a life’s long journey
Thanks for the analysis. Keep up the great work ❤
Outstanding content and analysis. Always learn something new from your videos.
Cool that you saw Jesse's videos and made this one! Enjoyed them all! Keep up the good work!
I love this video - I am a big fan of Seagal and seeing him teach his art and philosophies was awesome. Thank you Viking Samurai - You are my favourite channel on RUclips - Love all your content :)
yer a fan of his? you like being lied too then... good for you.
@@paladro lol ikr. Segal is a pathological liar and a pedo. Idk how you can be a fan of that.
I watched this video this morning. Great video, love to see Seagal like this! Very informative and shows how great of a guy he can be.
There's been a lot of negativity towards Steven about his personality and his fighting, but no hard facts about any of it. The one thing I really respect about him is that he doesn't argue with any of it, he just does his own thing and takes off like he mentioned. No point giving these haters any attention, especially when none of them would ever say anything to his face.
The hard fact about his “fighting” is that there’s no record of him actually fighting. None of his techniques were pressure tested. He’s a legit master of aikido, he’s not a fighter though. At his prime he won’t last 2 minutes against an average boxer/kickboxer.
@@AzFarhad It doesn't matter what you think or what I think, or to speculate. The only way to find out is to see someone take him on, which as he mentioned, no one is brave enough to.
@@steve1714 if he wanted to fight and test his skills he would. This whole no one accepted my challenge rhetoric is bullshit
In terms of his personality i would argue their is facts . He clearly lies .. such as when he said Bruce Lee knew of his half Asian son . Seagal's 1st son was born well after Lee had died . And claiming he met Lee from James Coburn , when Coburn is on an 80's interview , stating he met Seagal about 5 years prior . Not too mention women have been accusing him of abuse going well back in the 90's . He may be a true martial artist in Aikido , but the guy has plenty of questionable things about his personality .
Questionable things are not facts. I hear a lot of things about Steven, but rarely hear his side of the story
This can be you in the nearest future: meeting Jean-Claude Van Damme and maybe hanging out with Chris !
This was real good props to dude for all the analysis if the video! Can't wait to see part 2!
Part 2 ruclips.net/video/VYXfp3oZsGM/видео.html
Great, great Video Viking!! Sensei Jesse Enkamp aproached this interview and training with Steven Seagal with an open mind, and so did you with this analysis👌👍. Just like the quote says: ''Mind is like a parachute, if you want to use it you have to open it''👍✌
I'm so glad you picked this interview to comment on and you managed to do a great job. That's why masters are there for, to demonstrate the technique effectiveness in relation to power and speed through simple variations. Well done for the video. 👍
Seagal a master? LOL at what? Wife beating?
I love this channel. Viking Samurai, you have so much good content. It's my "fireside chat"
Merry Christmas VS!
Thanks, Merry Christmas!
Appreciate this video, so cool that Steven Seagal sent you that gift. My favorite channel as you have all positivity 100%
What people miss when training weapons, sword,stick etc is the confidence ,timing,distancing,angling.What we use is a rokushaku bo 6ft stick swinging to the body and the person must move into the small gap and over time we speed it up untill its random and as fast as you can.This builds confidence if you can avoid a weapon that if it connects could hurt you badly or worse then a punch ,grab ,tackle,kick are nothing so Segal sensei using his hands like a sword makes perfect sense for those who have trained this way, oss
Just think... if Segal went on Jesse's channel, maybe he will come on this channel.
Thank you for this and commentary
Yes 🙌 I knew you would review this 👊
It's really hard to rescue Seagal from the weight of his recent personal history. Professionally, he rarely seems bothered these days, and personally, even if some of the more salacious ( and downright unpleasant) accusations are untrue, it's hard to overlook the obvious indulgence and vanity in the man's appearance. That being said, he always holds a place in my heart. The impact of those first five movies and the man himself, was absolutely phenomenal. I am of an age where I saw them as they were first released, waited with my friends for the next one, and read every single piece of information I could get my hands on, first in the martial arts press and later in the movie magazines when he became more mainstream. You can't undersell how awesome he was. Unlike alot of people, I never doubted his physical ability. But I have questioned the legitimacy of his spirituality. I remember my martial arts teacher saying " the best lesson we teach is the one we most need to learn ourselves". I'm noone to judge though. I'm sure we all want Steven to be the man we've always hoped he was. I would love to see him motivated and active again, but at this point it probably isn't in the cards. I wish him the way of peace and harmony. Thanks David. I always love your commentary. Oooss!!!
Viking Samurai respect to the content you release and the open mindset you have to keep learning and looking for ways to improve yourself. My sensei says it's important to keep the mindset of a student, and I wholeheartedly agree.
I heard an interview long ago with Seagal and how he grew up a white kid in Japan with still a post war attitude and first learning martial arts, thry kicked the crap out of him every day, trying to make him quit but, he didn't and eventually learned how not to be beaten up and I can attest to the fact that this makes you very tough. Physically *and* mentally. I had similar things happen.
The movement of Aikido is not just "oh, I dropped my sword," it's how to use your hands like swords and all the techniques with that.
Rogan's whole mindset about fighting is MMA, etc. He doesn't stop to realize there are no rules, that's a huge difference.
I'm 62 and been involved with martial arts since '73. I started in a west coast, Ed Parker style school, then private instructions from someone who grew up in the martial arts academy in Okinawa and goes directly to Mr Funakoshi and I was lucky enough to be in a Norris school late 70s to early 80s. I've fought in tournaments like the Ed Parker Invitational and in street and bar fights and fighting on the military and I concur, the vast majority of the fights I saw or were involved in, never went to ground combat. This all came about when the Gracies took over MMA fights from the beginning and decided this. Ground fighting skills are valuable but infrequently used tools.
You want the fight to end now so, you don't go to the ground or your dead, you don't stand around doing nothing, waiting to counter what he's decided to do, you'll lose. You need to wait for the opportunity and take the guy out.
He was never in Japan as a child.
@@reefhog careful. wa s there as a young teenager. He traveled back and forth but stayed as a teen.
@@MtnBadger he went to Japan sometime between 1971 and 1973. So at least 19. That’s not a child or a young teen. He was never a child in Japan being bullied by other children.
@@reefhog OK, I'll acquiesce to the age for the sake of argument as I'm not perfect but, the part I know is true, that I didn't misunderstand is that when he was ffirst learning, he was not accepted and they were very hard on him, would not hold. ack and would beat him up (inside and out of the. ring) as heard from his mouth and, knowing *my own* experiences in trying to do the very same when I was young and being rejected from what was then considered taboo for westerners (I was their for a few years, also as a kid and a brat), I wouldn't discount his claims off hand. So whether it was 19 or younger is moot, it doesn't discredit his struggle or his accomplishments, he was there, he reached 7th Dan (documented) and was the first western teacher of Aikido. And that's the thing that matters. I'm just speaking to those who say he was never there and the moon shot was a hoax. 😀 Thanks.
Straight to the target with proper leverage. That is what he is talking about. My right front snap kick could kill. Emphasize the snap. In my Jeet Kune Do, it is Aikido that remains the foundation.
I watched both parts, and in a comment there, i said ,like i said at your poadcast then. It doesn't matter, if i like Seagal or not, but as a Martial Artist, he is legit and deadly.
I loved the commentary! Your ability to show respect to all martial artists is something that all fellow martial artists should aspire to.
great stuff as always
Totally agree that the statement "most fights go to the ground" is a BJJ sales pitch. A devastating ground maneuver is to allow yourself to go to the ground and then pull the Girlfriend with a Beer Bottle move.
I love your take on this, you know exactly how Mr.Seagal channel his style into application! It was amazing to watch and thank you for putting light into Steven Seagal, he is the real deal. He went over to Japan and studied as well as taught classes. He is fluent in both speaking in japanese and a true Aikido Master. The way he taught is very smart, he talks about the spiritual first, and then move on to application. Very straight to the point! Let's not forget that Mr.Seagal used to be a police officer back in the U.S!
As usual, you are distinguished in all the topics you present. Your channel is very distinguished and is an important and great reference for martial arts, especially for your important meetings with martial arts experts.
Agree with the front kick analysis. The nuances of the kick took it to another level and won the match. Too bad Silva didn't credit Segal the way Machida did. Looking forward to more of this content! Good work !
What were the nuances?
@@eclipsewrecker the modified way to throw the front kick so it doesn't telegraph it's going to come.
@@kimliongkwee that’s the goal. I asked for the nuances.
@@eclipsewrecker My bad, it seems I answered without fully grasping your question. What exactly are the nuances you're looking for? Have you already seen the original video? It might provide a better explanation than I can give you and the added value is you can learn by watching the execution of the move itself. However if it's within my knowledge I might be able to answer your question properly.
@@kimliongkwee the nuances that the OP is referencing.
I’ve seen the original video, the two fight vids, and his demonstration with Silva.
Look forward to see another one of these for part 2.
I'm really looking forward to this video / reaction and especially to more Seagal content
I'm glad to hear Steven Seagal sent you a signed photo that's cool.Keep up with the truth goes along way !
Part 2 is already out. Saw it 30 minutes ago.
Great commentary on a fascinating video
I saw the video and hands down Steven Segal knows his stuff hands down. No matter what the say about steven he is the real deal. Thanks for breaking this down Viking. Awesome my man.
Amen Hallelujah Amen it's wonderful to hear the truth about true martial arts thank you brother Seagal and brother Viking
Great commentary and analysis. I really enjoyed the reference to the Kenpo half fist or leopard fist. 👍👊
31:00
That is so cool bro! Well done, you've earned his respect Vilking Samurai.... cant wait for you to interview Seagal! He needs to hurry up and get on your channel.
Thank you for this video man, full respect to you, and of course for Steven Seagal (I am an Aikido instructor in Spain...).
have you ever tried your luck against bjj players? or kickboxers? just curious.... everyone knows someone with training will likely outclass someone without, but all things being equal in skill, i think certain arts get exposed when there aren't rule sets.
@@paladro Yes, many times. Aikido It's not a joke and not every Aikido style is the same. And of course, not every Aikido practitioner is the same. And this is the same rule for jiu jitsu, box, etc. You cannot judge the art nor the style, only the practitioner. Aikido is, esentially, a weapon system, It means, my friend, that I am not going to fight in a real life with a brazilian jiu jistu guy, I am going to kill him with a real cutting katana. Thats the only true and armchair haters can come to my dojo and we will try with the door closed. I don't have any problem. And if somebody thinks that martial arts are the same as de combat sports can go and research about the ending of Leandro Lo, with a bullet in the head. Thats the reality, tragic, but real.
Puuuuusaaaaaayyyyyyy
I believe the real issue of why practitioners cant understand the contexts of old martial arts is because they are blending the lines. People hear the word “Fight” and immediately put in the context of a “Consensual Agreement”. When in fact these old systems deal with “Assaults”. Techniques were meant to neutralize threats, whether that meant finish them by maiming/killing or creating enough space to escape, assess the situation (Zanshin) or deploy a force multiplier. Great Video 🥋🙏🏽
He is the best in Aikido and thanks to him I started to study in Aikido and now I hold 5th Dan Black belt. I thank Steven for that.
At the end of day, Seagal's Haters would never talk crap in front of him.
I would.
Because we have better shit to do than to travel half way around the world
@@kenhadden2303 no you wouldn’t
Yes... I would. You have no idea.
I guess you known and seen me fight before. Hmmm. You seem pretty sure of yourself. Hmmmm. Get off Steves band wagon. Look up his past and how he achieved his bs. Then
And only then... Bug me about what you know. Oh yeah look my FB page up and my friends on there before you think of talking again. Got it....
Great breakdown!
`I was about 12 years old, and a gangly beginner in a Yoshukai ((hard style) karate class, and somehow aikido came up, and my friends and I started cackling and making tai chi jokes, and grandpa jokes. My sensei at the time looked at me and laughed. He said, "You probably won't make it to the level where you learn real aikido in our school." I laughed again, wondering why I'd want to suffer through learning all the basics, just to learn "aikido" in the higher belts. He smiled at me, and his hand whipped out like a rattlesnake, and his finger landed in a soft spot behind my ear, pressing lightly, all in an instant, I could feel pressure, and the sensation of my ear actually lifting from the back. He said, "Why would you need to know how to take someone's ear off?" I've learned a lot since then, but he was right about me not making it to those levels in karate!
Steve is legit as they come. People like to bad mouth him behind his back.
Glad you’re covering this. It’s a really good video. Seagal speaks a lot of sense, very insightful guy. Definitely knows his stuff.
His insight into Bruce Lee was interesting as well. I loved that he called out Gene LeBell as the liar that he is!
@@MatrixCobretti yeh I thought he might have said a bit more but then again I still don’t believe he ever saw Bruce, I know now he claims he never met him so he’s changed his story but rather talk and listen to seagal than anyone from the ufc to be honest. Gene, Bob wall, all those guys. Liers and bullshitters.
@@MatrixCobretti see my other comment below this one? Typical idiots replying again. I knew my comment would upset these mma type of guys
@@axelstone3131 I appreciated how he handled Jesse's question about Bruce's abilities being embellished. He didn't take the bait at all and answered the question in a totally logical and classy way. In the 2nd Enkamp video, Seagal said that he met Bruce and talked to him a little but that was it. I've heard that Dan Inosanto has corroborated that story, and honestly I think it's plausible with how small the west coast martial arts community was back at that time. I suppose we'll never know for sure though. By the way, did you see the new Stallone interview on The David Rubenstein Show today? It's pretty good.
@@MatrixCobretti I did see Stallone interview yes lol. It was good. I guess because I’ve never heard Dan Inosanto or anyone else, Shannon or Linda say anything I’m not sure if I believe it but maybe it did. I’m confused about people saying Bruce’s abilities being embellished cause I don’t think anyone really believes stuff like he could catch rice with chopsticks. But like we have spoke about before, he was absolutely not a normal guy at all.
Excellent "prospective" and analysis of the STEVEN SEGAL Aikido with JESSE ENKAMP video big like on the video 🎙
It's cool you are doing this video because I have watched his video before you did this.
Very good commentary and understanding on how training works.. Would be great if you could get interviews with Ueshiba's personal students, there are a few left would love to hear Mitsugi Saotome, Robert Nadeau ect.
I took a couple years of judo and a year of tae Kwon do and then later took aikido as a”kinesiology” elective in college. My instructor at the time was 4th Dan at the time and he found out I did some previous training earlier in life. My instructor in college and I had a few sparring sessions and we took turns using just throws and locks to show the class what could be done…he reversed every throw I used on him and I was mostly successful in rolling or reversing out of his initial locks but he was almost always able to transition to a different lock or throw. Our longest single round was 4 minutes and then he got gassed and told the class I’m going to end it and bam I was on my back… then my face… and my arm was standing straight up and twisted back over my head.
When working armed security I used some of the techniques I learned from aikido and judo to break up fights and control people at the bars I was working at
Love the pelts and movie cover analogy. Steven Seagal has a bad rap for his personality, fair or not, and unfortunately that has bled into a critique of his martial arts. I will always enjoy his movies, and martial art movies in general. I will judge him AFTER I meet him, not before. Love the fairness this channel brings. Refreshing.
I started martial arts in the early 80s and following a lifetime of martial arts and 30 yrs law enforcement experience I believe everything these days Is compared to Ufc.
Traditional martial arts are however making a comeback.
Mr Segal is the real deal a true martial artist and a lifelong ambassador who can absolutely use his Aikido in a real situation.
The haters mostly are not martial artists and are looking for click bait on social media.
Keep up the great work and let the truth shine.
Nice energic kicks in your demo video, you could show us more of your demos.
Definitely better than imitating JCVD kicks.
It looks always funny when someone tries to imitate JCVD's kicks, nobody can do it, nobody.
If even Scott Adkins says so, that it must be true.
Great video🙏
Another one ... Great breakdown VS! Was never a big Segal guy but I've got way more respect for him these days. I'm definitely more into his knowledge than his kicks though. And yes .. people just keep getting softer when it comes to martial arts & action movies. Being an 80s baby is the greatest gift ever for a martial artist.
This is the first time watching your clips, an to be far I wasn’t expecting your breakdown. Much like most I grow up watch Steve’s. An I spent a year doing Aikido it wasn’t for me, that said I agree with everything you say in this breakdown. An would just like to say thanks for an honest point of view. 🇬🇧🙏🏻
It may have been in the original video, but the way Steven describes blocking, the nuances and circular motion should be enough proof that he is a legit marital artist.
At least Seagal says nice things about Bruce Lee. I wonder what ever happened to Mickey Gall..

@@VikingSamurai i love this ohne, i still laughing 🤣🤣👌👌👌
This has been very in-lighting. This has made me re evaluate my position on Steven Seagal. I was lightening to Joe Rogan's and Bass Rutton's opiion on Seagal, plus all of the videos out there on RUclips trashing him. I have always pride my self on been able to research and keep an open mind about any subject or person. But I have to say this video took me by surprise. Thank you!
Viking samurai you are the only RUclipsr martial artist that speaks sense that's why I like to watch your videos if we are talking about steven Seagal this man is a lifetime martial artist it doesn't matter what kind of martial arts he studied he dedicated his life to martial arts
Seagal’s Aikido is no joke....his acting in movies and tv is not the greatest but lots of respect for his teaching and dedication
Really have you seen it in REAL fighting or combat? If so please provide source.
People are so full of hate and despise for Seagal that they just don't think. I see we notice these same things. It's so stupid to claim "Seagal didn't teach Mashida the front kick" and then they will laugh at Seagal. There are different ways to do a kick. There are variations. You can push and you can stab. You can telegraph your strike or you can disguise your attack. People are so feeble minded. That doesn't make me laugh. It makes me sad.
bro, you make a great video even better
I grew up watching Seagal as well an only loved seeing him use Aikido. Definitely the first time I ever saw anyone do it was Seagal, as I grew up doing Taekwondo. Some ppl will just always be full of hate but true martial artist know he knows his stuff
I noticed in Steven Seagal movies just by chance a couple of years ago how he’s feet are always underneath his hips , he’s got really good balance , another tell tell sign of a sign of a good fighter .
Just awesome!!! I'm so happy Mr. Seagal is getting the respect he completely deserves. Thank you, Viking Samurai!!
Wing Chun also uses finger jabs to the throat and just as effective side of the open hand strikes to the throat. Making a connection with the opponent's arm and sliding up it until you naturally reach the throat connecting with the side of your open hand is a great technique. You can hold the opponent's arm at the wrist with the non-striking hand as you slide up it with the striking hand also is very effective!
I'm actually glad that you're one of the many intelligent people who analyze a lot and also study about a martial artist if he's a true master or not, I'm telling you this because many people especially on social media repeat like a broken record as if Seagal were a liar or coward, it would be nice if you could do a live interview with him since no one says that he can't accept fighting challenges unless they attack him directly and he has to defend himself, so I have no doubt that Seagal forgave Van Damme that time at the party and with the Bob Wall theme the latter never tried to attack him, besides he was already a little older no one says either that Seagal is vegetarian and loves animals but anyway greetings friend ;)
The interview was great and have to tell you even though i didn't believe aikido is that useful, Seagal is still a master at his craft/martial art. Now have to say after watching that seagal interview and yours on Frank Dux, this guys have legit martial arts background regardless if people wants to give credit or not
joint manipulation is real, nobody doubts that, they doubt seagal's effectiveness with it, given someone with equal abilities in another discipline... long story short, seagal has no proven real world experience to point to, maybe he trained agents, but that's in the lab, not the street. i'm pretty certain seagal can best the untrained, but these days he looks like a hulking mass who would have trouble moving quickly to the toliet.
Well in regards to this video I would agree with most of what was stated in this video. Keep in mind in WW2 the hand to hand combat instructors didn't focus on ground fighting. Also my experience in street fights/self-defense most fights are generally solved on your feet. So to me train everything but focus on stand up.
I was one of them ppl that thought is was a joke as i had boxing and Muay Thia under my belt then I trained with a friend in aikido and realized that shit is legit and you can really break bones with it and all his made more sense after that lol
Love your channel
Thanks, glad you like it!
Those ear, eye, throat, neck techs when someone dives for your legs and even when they wrap up your waist, were actually taught to a certain extent at a seminar we put on with Steven Seagal at the Ventura comm college back when the Gracies were dominating.
First of all , Steven was a deputy sheriff for 20 years in Louisiana . arresting criminals. There's a little hands on experience there. Teaching over 40 years one of only 5 grand masters on the earth in his art. Being older over 50 he has a thyroid issue that makes him gain weight . young people have no idea what happens to your body after 50-55 until then you have birthdays and nothing changes to the body. He had tons of film doing fighting and not one single video has anyone putting him on his back , just like Bruce. Around cameras and other fighters one would think there would be some amateur footage of something . but there's zero. Some celebrity martial art folks wanted to challenge him , he said no cameras no rules, so far NO TAKERS. None talking smack took up up on the challenge. He is fast and dangerous. Before you talk smack go stand for to toe with him and find out for yourself is he for real . Haven't seen anyone jump him yet.
Definitely!! With great power comes great responsibility
It's difficult to master another language including Japanese so that right there shows he's not a stupid man.
I agree with everything Segal is saying coming from a traditional martial art myself, however everything I’m seeing on this video is very similar to Wing Chun moves starting with the centre line front kick which Wing Chun probably have the patent on 😂, however redirection of the opponent as shown by Segal which is the same as Bong Sau (overlapping elbow) followed by a Lap Sau allowing you to step over your opponents upper body defences and into close range proximity and thereby executing an almost arm bar Aikido like movement across the throat and allowing you to taking your opponent down! Even the knife hand close range chop to the board is Wing Chun! The jabs to the eyes and throat is known as Bil Jee! Overall I see very little Aikido in what I’m seeing here, or I don’t know enough about his style in this video, or maybe the two arts are very similar, besides the limb and joint locking and throws which aren’t in Wing Chun and which we believe restricts your own movements if the opponent is constantly moving and attacking not giving his hand to demonstrate, but then again Segal is very tall, so he can probably overpower the opponent using the movements and then it’s a bonus if he manages to get a hold of your joints for manipulation! 🤷🏽♂️
Steven Seagal vs Frank Dux that's what we need to see whether it's a verbal stand off or a fight
Yeah, and they are so much alike…
@@CharlieFader exactly! We need this entertainment haha the 2 biggest bullshit artists and they hate each other so yeah lol
A perfect example of Steven Seagal saying, "do not fight your opponent's fight", is when Holly Combs fought Rhonda Rousey. If you noticed Combs was circling Rousey and always moving sideways in a circle making Rhonda chase her... Then she would move in and do her boxing strikes. Which she is excellent at, and really cleaning Rhonda's clock. Then she has a devastating kick to the Head which has knocked out many opponents. When she was circling and undercutting Rhonda's punches and stepping behind her she'd come up with her Kick to Rhonda's head or her famous front kick. This front kick was usually a setup for a quick jab or for her sidekick to the Head, if the moment was right. And when she undercut Rhonda a few times and stepped behind her when Rhonda turned around, she let loose a flurry of punches and then backed off again. She did show jujitsu or judo expertise because she actually flipped Rhonda a few times. However for the majority of the fight, she stayed away from Rhonda stepped in, did her damage and then stepped back out, she played a standing game with Rhonda. Holly knew that any extensive ground fighting with Rhonda, Holly would lose the fight. One thing I really respect about Holly Combs is she's not just a very good fighter, she's a very smart fighter. The few times that she has lost when choked out, could really happen to anyone in the ring from any opponent. It's part of the MMA ground game and everybody knows how to do it. Well Samurai that's my two cents for what it's worth! Great Show! I Love Your fairness to all sides by talking to each side and challenging them. But I highly Respect your Commen Sense and soft spokeness and Your ability to actually Listen to the other side without interrupting. Letting them have Their say. I've always said, Attitude is Everything. It may not stop all fights, but it does stop most. Then Your Martial Arts Training does the Talking 🤼🤺🥋
Everyone knows not to fight your opponents fight.
@@theforce5191 If that was the case and everyone would be a champion and the one would lose. The greatest champions in fighting no matter what martial arts know how to adapt in a fight. That's what makes him a champion. If everyone knew that then the be a lot more winners and a lot less losers. I can't agree with what you're saying. There have been many seasoned fighters that get into the ring, and come up against an opponent that just fight smarter than they do and lose. Not because of the other opponent was a bit of fighter but because they were smarter fighter and didn't fight to their opponent's strengths but stayed away and came in and used their own strengths. The Rousey, comb spite was a perfect example. If Holly Combs fought a ground game and try to use judo or wrestling on Rousey she would have been put down in the first round I guarantee it. Although Combs has choked out other opponents in many fights you can see that it's not her best weapon. Her boxing and her feet are her most dangerous weapon. And her ability to weave in and out from her opponent. She is definitely a stand-up fighter and it's her best attribute.
@Red Dragon sorry buddy. But you're wrong. Just because everyone knows you shouldn't fight their fight doesn't mean it's going to work out the way you want it. This is exactly why Mike tyson said: " Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face." Your plan won't always work, and that's early l exactly why not everyone will become champion.
Spot on analysis, great master sensei seagal.
Excellent breakdown! People are ignorant Seagal's training in kenjutsu in addition to his tension aikido.
Seagal is right. Never fight your opponent fight....BTW, Seagal also trained in Karate prior to his Aikido training which has roots from Aikijujutsu. 5 star vid VK.
I was surprised to see some of the pokes and pressure points Segal was doing. I was in Mantis style Kung-Fu for a few years as a teenager and there is so much that is similar. I was in a class where the Sigung was the highest ranked in the world at the time in Mantis style. I cannot for the life of my remember his first name as it was 27 years ago, but his last name was Chung.
He’s doing some wing chun here as well but I’ve never actually heard him say he does ain’t chun.
Thank you sensei Viking
