- What's it like training with Aikido master Steven Seagal today?
In this video @Martialarts1on1 Remy and I discuss how his Aikido training with Steven Seagal was like in 2019 and he also recounts an amusing story involving Steven Seagal, the La Bamba song and a very deadly technique!

So refreshing to see people talking respectfully about Seagal.
1000%
Why?...He's a fuckin turd
Both Gracie and Joe Rogan , who are two of the most hardcore full contact fighters, claim Seagal is more than capable and legit. More than enough to put on any resume...
@@GeeBeisH anyone can say someone is capable. Its another thing to show it. Seagal used to be badass in aikido. But now he's badass in donuts and ding dongs.
@@GeeBeisH Buddy.Being a martial arts teacher doesn't automatically mean you can fight.It just means you passed the qualifying curriculum to move to the next lessons in the art you are practicing.Thinking Seagal can fight because he spent 30 years teaching is like saying a driving instructor can compete in Formula 1 because he teaches driving.
Thanks sincerely for being one of the few standalone voices that gives Seagal the respect he deserves. That is what actually caught my attention and kept me here. Forget all the naysayers and armchair martial artists who criticize him.
His character has determined he doesent deserve respect humility ge has none
This is the type of content I love to see. People who are actual Martial Artist speaking positive of Grand Master Seagal and his credibility. Back in my day in the Martial Arts we didn't question Masters. As a 3rd Degree Black Belt in Taekwondo myself I know for a fact no-one can hold a 7th Degree in any style and not be "Legitimate". Thank you for this video.
Facts
I appreciate you trying to get Sensei Seagal into a more positive light with these videos. It's a dirty job, but someone had to do it, and I'm glad it was you. I will always hold Seagal to a high standard in the martial arts world, and will always regard him as a 'great'. He really lives that code and life. Keep up the excellent work!!
He really "lives that code"???!!! Multiple sexual assault charges, a serial liar and a master of an area that is so outdated its supposed to be used for disarming a person with a sword. He's delusional, he thinks he taught a day 1 kick to a MMA legend... I could go on for hours... He's a fraud and a shitty person. How is Akido still a thing for self defence?! its more like a dance than a defence art. Look up the videos of him caught in lies.
@@uke_mike Well... He said he still was a "dangerous man"
@@arpodyssey1913 rapey dangerous
Well said man!
You have the worst judgment in character kid
As a martial artist myself trained in many different martial arts. mainly kempo karate and aikido.. I have learned you never disrespect another martial artist whether you like them whether you hate them whether you agree with that they're saying with what they're teaching.. never disrespect them.. that breaks the code that we all live by as a real martial artist...
I don't care what Steven seagal has done in his lifetime.. I don't care if he has six different women accusing him of raping them or assaulting them.. I'm sticking by the martial arts aspect of Steven seagal and I do trust him. so when it comes to martial arts I believe in him I believe in the martial arts code and I live by it every single day so yes I do respect Steven seagal and I understand aikido and I thank him..
a lot of people don't understand the martial arts form... they don't know anything about martial arts and they should give it a try and really truly believe and understand what martial arts can do for people and what the history is of it.....
Keep up this crusade to legitimize our childhood and teen heroes! Thanks so much for your wonderful work Mr. Viking Samurai!
These interview w Remy are gold!
Remy is a breath of fresh air in the aikido community
That was extremely interesting! I wish the interview was much longer. I was very intently listening to his experiences and interactions with Steven Seagal.
Seagal is a martial arts legend, his first 4-5 movies were amazing, I was obsessed with hard to kill as a kid, Seagal was so different and super badass
Dennis Menace is a legend in his 👋 own rights 👏 and so his D Rodman. Apropos to them ...
@@AjaychinuShahButthurt hater 🤡
WORK harder and butt works like it always did.@@BrandonHaymon
@@AjaychinuShah troll attempt fail
People don’t like Seagal because he disrespects other martial arts actors. He seems to think that he is the only legit martial artist in film today.
He knows and we know Seagal is better than others.
@@Obergruppenf
He has nothing on Chuck Norris.
@@leondonnelly6271 That's true, but, to be honest, at the same time, Chuck Norris has nothing on Seagal.
You guys are hilarious
The first thing I head about segal when I was a kid was all about how legit he was in aikido. Master super young and tho he has been hated on I’ve always known that his accomplishments aren’t to be taken lightly
He is legit in aikido, but the problem is aikido itself, as it is not a legit martial art.
@@modrozelenaalga9607 it will only work against someone who doesn’t know how to fight. It would never work against a trained fighter
95% of the world doesn’t know how to fight
Seagal's interview by Scott Adkins on the Art of Action is Brilliant
I love how you keep it real on this channel. This could be interpreted as "you're just a Seagal fanboy" but this is an eye whiteness report. Straights facts. Much appreciated.
Anyone seen Richie?
Anyone know why richie did bobby lupo ???
I've been aware of Seagal since BEFORE he was in movies just through various MA mags . I see it this way, there is Steven Seagal and Sensei Seagal . And Sensei Seagal is somebody I take very serious when discussing his martial arts .
Seagal has always been one of my favorites. Idc that he just plays himself in every movie, that just makes them more awesome lol
Seagal may have had some faults in his life, but tell me one person that hasn't. Glad to see him being portrayed for his good points for a change.
Exactly. In the eyes of the public everything is magnified. One can be happy to not be under so much scrutiny as a none celebrity.
Yes he is the real deal its just,He just relaxed with age and if he was not a famous actor nobody would beeing peking on him,He talks walks and acts REAL !!
He doesn't just have faults, he repeatedly does fucked up things
Well said sir xxx
👏👏👏👏👏 exactly
I had a chance to train Seagal in a seminar in the 90's and it was 250 dollars at that time which was a lot of money at that time, so I skipped it. My Filipino Pangamot teacher met Seagal at a martial arts event, kind of like Dragonfest, and he said he is a real nice person. He gave my teacher a compliment about Pangamot then went his way.
Seagal also inspired me. I started my martial arts journey when I was about 11 years old, when I read a book called "Judo Boy," wherein the protagonist's friend shocked everyone in a street fight by using a little-known martial art called Aikido; this revelation of a relatively unknown martial art prompted me to investigate it. Many years later, when I was already a Nidan in Shudokan karate, and having first been belted in judo, I decided to undertake Aikido. I had never seen Aikido utilized in an actual fight scenario, until Seagal came onto the scene. In the first movie I saw him practice Aikido techniques, I immediately knew that those techniques were legit.
Seagal is one of my all time favourite,just right after Bruce Lee. The trash talking people never tested his skills,when he was 30 years younger.His skills are awesome,and he is fast as hell still to this day. Maybe he sounds arrogant sometimes, but he is a great martial artist.It's easy to jump on the hate train for the younger generations.I will always respect Seagal.This is a great interview,much appreciate it, the internet needs to see Seagal's good side.Ten toes down!
My problem with Seagal is all his boasting. When Brandon Lee died, Seagal hung outside the Lee family home. He talked to reporters and claimed that he and Brandon were good friends and hung out all the time. When Brandon's mom was asked about it, she said that she barely remembers Seagal at all. I would need to find the report again. I believe she said that she only knew of Seagal from various events and not from close family interactions.
I would not use comments from a Gracie about how good someone is. Watch interviews with guys who went to the first few UFC(?) fights the Gracie's sponsored. Everyone was told that everything was legal in regards to fighting styles, clothes, and more. A guy did a lot of wrestling in his fighting. At the prefight meetings, guys were told that they were not allowed to wear their wrestling shoes as they were weapons. Gracie is allowed to wear his gi and belt. Gracie then used them to choke other fighters. There are multiple videos of the guys who showed up and at the last minute something came up to hamper their fighting.
Steven master sensei of KFC!
Steven Seagal have always my respect ( as a martial artist) 🙏 OSU 🙏
You always have the best and most imformative videos and interviews about well known marital artists and martial arts overall.
Second that
Look its not just unwarranted hate towards seagal, he's up and down sometimes he comes off very humble and respectful and then he comes off in his next interview extremely disrespectful of others in his craft. Just look at what he said towards van damme, Michael jai white and so on. Everyone has opinions viking Everyone
True, but, not all opinions are equal. For example, my opinion is much, MUCH more valid than yours.
@@varanid9
Well..........played.........
So what Remy is saying is not only that Steven Segal is a Karate black belt (which there is no footage of him ever doing Karate). Not only is that black belt in Kyokushin, one of the most physically rigorous styles of of Karate where they slam eachother with kicks and punches till the other yields. But that he is a 7th Dan, a rank equal to his rank in Aikido and is any incredibly hard rank to achieve. All while no footage exists, while his Aikido career is heavily documented. I'm going to respectfully ask for a fact check on this one please.
Does anybody know why Richie did Bobby Lupo?
I'll keep coming back until SOMEONE remembers!!!!!
@@lea-rw5cb Who's hotdog is that?
Bobby Lupo was doing Richie's boyfriend. 😂
2:25 even in the example of Segal's humility, he still feels the need to humble brag, starting off with "Many people consider me one of the great Masters..."
2:56 "when I punch towards Steven Seagal when he's going to do a technique on me, it feels like I'm punching air" sounds like what compliant or overly respectful students do, "punch towards" is not the same as "try to punch", for instance, I don't try to punch my 11 year old son in the head when we're sparring, I punch towards him & pull my body shots so he can practice his techniques without fear of getting hurt.
There are a lot of carefully selected words in this video, Rickson Gracie said "Based on his training, based on his understanding, he has a deep understanding of the concepts & his philosophy is also based on proving realities" but the unedited quote is quite different. You can see full interview here ruclips.net/video/q_fC4ncir9E/видео.html
You sound like a hater my G.
Well, your first example I thought he was boasting but listen to the counterpoint. He says that some people consider him a great master while others think he doesn't know anything. You have to take the whole statement, not just something out of context.
Nice clip - thank you. Seagal used to have wing chun teacher Randy Williams as his personal bodyguard for many years. I'm sure he picked up a lot from their time together.
This guy tells the true about Steven seagal. You can tell Steven seagal is a great martial artist. You many haters of seagal down know about him.
Exactly, same thing I've said over and over! People just go along with the mainstream media narratives, without even researching the truth for themselves! However, he's an outstanding martial arts practitioner
how do your mental gymnastics work out in relation of him being a pathological liar, his multiple sexual assault charges, his blatant racism or that he tried to take credit for teaching anderson silva a kick that silva used before segal started "training" him (which was later revealed to just be a publicity stunt, not real training)
@@Yahikkox My mental gymnastics??!! 🤔 🧐 😂 😆
Agreed with
Seagal thought's on?
Van damme can I laugh in you're face
Donnie yen can I laugh in you're face.
Sammo hung can I laugh in you're face
Jai white can I laugh in you're face.
Viking samurai?
He seems like a real good kid I've never seen him fight but had you mentioned him over those guy's yeah OK I think this guy can fight.
So GOOD to hear people breaking the taboo! Tell 'em boys.
Sensei Seagal is a legit martial artist I don’t get why anyone thinks that he isn’t just do your own research I believe he is amazing. 🙏🇦🇺🥋
There just jealous of seagal...and that's a fact...
Yeah, he's a legit master of aikido, a non-legit martial art. It's complete bullshit and has no practical application in self defense or any real fight scenario. So many brainwashed delusional people in the world.
When I was in Russia... I was the only Wing Chun student there in 2019... Samuel Kwok was teaching but he's not my direct Sifu... in any case I saw plenty of photographs where Sensei Steven was teaching elite Russian military forces and police forces
Yes,he had some training with russian police force and with guys from security agency
First hand account that Seagal is a legit martial artist 👍👍👍👍
Nope...Just fanboys playing pretend samurai
I do get why Seagal is unlikable in some people’s eyes, because even though I’ve always loved his movies, he seems to have a lot of abrasive traits and has been accused of some pretty disdainful stuff. But the criticism of him as a martial artist is just dumb. No one else on the planet who received praise from fighters from so many styles who has experience training and coaching with professionals is ‘phony.’ That’s stupid to even imply it.
Well i'll tell you the secret to his unlikable ness, he is the 100th Character that has to go on screen play with a skin tone that is downturned into propaganda for hurting ourselves. There I told you the least secret of our times.
The Skin Tone sarioh see in Bollywood movies influences 100% of their actions beginning to end of the day.
nobody beats me in the kichen 〜segal
I was just watching Nico Above the law on my old Videorecorder once again after some years and this is popping up right after finishing the movie which I still enjoy a lot especially the beginning scene has some good Aikido passion and the main theme is just wonderful. This interview is a great thing 💪
Seagal got me into Aikido and have all the respect for him as I have for any martial art
Funny you posted this. Watched Under Siege yesterday on Netflix. He had a ton of charisma in his early films. I'm sure he's a blast to train with.
Under Siege never gets old!
@@VikingSamurai i sent you some photo
@@user-si5jg5bd4c Thanks!
That was awesome of Rickson...i have seen that interview n one can tell the interviewer was disappointed with the respectful response.
Lol, that interviewer was so disappointed!
Rickson also said how good he is in real life situations ? and displaying effectiveness he isn't sure . I think he respects that Seagal has dedicated himself to the arts . And respects him in that way .
@@SJ-ty5rw yes exactly
@@VikingSamurai The fat interviewer was a douchebag.
@@SJ-ty5rw But Rickson also said that on Bruce Lee in the same interview.
Never meet Seagal so no idea on him personally. Love his early movies ,this is also what introduced me to Aikido, so much thanks and gratitude to Seagal. Yes many things good are said about instructors and Aikido especially seems to be taking a beating, the haters don't consider things honestly
Thank you Viking Samurai!
I've been a fan since the 90s. Seagal in the realm of martial arts has never been the question. His treatment of people outside the dojo was.
Great vid bro keep up the good work
Great story and video !
Too bad that Seagal doesn't treat all people as well as he does Aikido students. He has a bad rep on treating people poorly over the years.
I think he could have still been top dog in movies if he had not grown an enormous gut. That said, I'm not perfect, but I'm always working towards it.
Sifu
Only people I ever heard complain about his treatment were Hollywood prima donnas. Most legit people seem to respect him.
@@varanid9 just because they're Hollywood types shouldn't warrant treating them like dirt. And look at how disrespectful he is towards other martial artists in Hollywood
@@varanid9 And the only ones who still worship this turd's dirty underwear are clueless idiot fanboys who still believe he can actually fight
@@alexscott730 According th Dana White, both Machida and Silva told him Segal was the real deal. I think they have far more credibility than some random YT commenter who's never met the man.
Mike jai white will kill him
As always your interviews are the best.
It is mostly his ego that has always got him in trouble, but no doubt he is an amazing and talented martial artist.
I'd say Hollywood flapping mouths and ignorant assumptions played just as big, if not bigger, a part in it, too.
@@varanid9 yeah I know, but he did have a real attitude problem when he was younger. This I know because I used to practice a bit of aikido back in Puerto Rico when I was. Younger and people from the community that interacted with him used to complain about it.
@@alanarroyo7139 Yeah, it's kinda hard for him to hide it, even when he's trying to be "humble", LOL.
@@varanid9 lol. He’s gotten better at it.
Thats a wrap. 7th dan in karate is master. He's legit
For a second there I thought you were interviewing Jorge Masvidal.
Seriously though, this was a great interview and I'll be sure to check out Remy's channel.
It isn't a hate for Seagal's ACTUAL abilities, it is hate on how he presents himself and the abilities he PRETENDS to have--you seem to leave that specific aspect out.
Totally agree with you. This guy still wants to keep his head in the sand about the real truth on Seagal and Van Damme.
And his ability to not want to “job” for other actors in films. I mean come on even Jean-Claude Van Damme got his behind whooped many times in his films
@@Mo-Reese8043 and in real life. You can ask Chuck Zito.
@@charlescross7868 what's the "real truth"? Lol more internet bullshit?
@@charlescross7868 What truth? About the Stallone (alleged) quote? Chuck Zito told me himself on instagram that there´s no way that Van Damme could beat Seagal in a real fight.
Great video....great interview....great stills and footage....
Steven Seagal is a good Martial Artist, that shouldn't have to deal with an army of haters. Aikido is just as respectable, as any form of Martial Arts. Not to mention, the man knows more than just Aikido. Nice to hear from someone who actually trained with Steven Seagal.
TERRANCE OUT
I've always been harsh on Segal, probably unfairly, given that I grew up worshiping Jean-claide VanDamme..... What I would say, that hasn't been said a million times, is Segal has never sunk to the levels his haters sink to, to bash him. That in its self is admirable.
He's always bashing people
@@malarkey_detected qual dos 2 Vam damme ou Seagal?
I would love to go to a Seagal seminar, especially as he has been training Wing Chun with GM Samuel Kwok. Would love to know what he thinks of Wing Chun.
Wing Chun Sifu Randy Williams used to be Steven Segal's bodyguard back in the late 80s early 90s.
@@nickashton3049 I looked at his website and saw that he has revised his Wing Chun. The Wing Chun world can be quite divisive when going away from traditional systems. Was an interesting biography.
Knocking it out of the park Viking Samurai! I really appreciate that you are putting out positive content on this subject! I get upset when I see people saying that Seagal doesn't know anything, can't fight, etc. and that Aikido is fake when they have never even attended a single martial arts class! Hopefully people will see these videos and be inspired to break from the "popular" culture and form a new opinion based on more than dumb jokes.
Thanks man, I'm definitely trying to make a positive difference here in helping to change the Seagal narrative.
@@VikingSamurai Keep up the good work, it is greatly appreciated! With so much negativity seeping into everything nowadays a little positivity here and there is refreshing!
1. No on is saying he doesn't known anything. What's at question is the efficacy of what he knows.
2. Dude...being a 6'4'' goon who loves knocking around people smaller than him IS NOT the same thing as being a skilled fighter. Get over it.
It's nice to finally hear someone speak respectfully about Steven Seagal. And the man speaking is an accomplished martial artist.
Great positive chat about Segal, a true legend. I wonder how different (better or worse) his influence may have been if he was not a movie star being portrayed on the big screen all of the time?
The other thing is Seagal is huge. If he puts hands on you it's not gonna be good. I'm a very non traditional martial artist Fro the most part, but I can see that he's no joke.
This channel is like somebody is making RUclips videos just for me.
Steven is legit and would beat the sonic rings out of most of us with ease if he wanted to.
*eat the onion rings
Eat the onion rings as he beats out our sonic rings.
@@Andy-sz2dt now no way lol in the 80s yes
Can I laugh in your face 😂😂
He really wouldn’t
Great video, and when it’s all said and done, Segal has made great contributions to martial arts and action films.
no.
also in keeping women as sex slaves, being a racist fuck and killing puppies. None of those are made up.
Steven Seagal is very precise with his countering and quickness. Just look at the scene in Under Siege 2, when he fought the military guy on the train towards end
Just a movie though lol
That was scripted dummy

Wait what ? Steven Seagal a 7th Dan in Kyokushin Karate ? Really ? That is a hard to believe this one. You know how long it takes to get to that level ? YEARS. I've done Kyokushin Karate all my life and I know many high level Shihan's and Senseis that are still working their way up there, so yeah correct me if I'm wrong but I call BS on that. On another note, I really enjoy his early movies.

@@Martialarts1on1 Bro it's an honourary belt. It's cool and given out of respect, but it's not a 'true' belt. Just like university at times give honourary PhD's. They are a show of respect for contributions etc, but people know the person is not a real PhD.
Dude, love your channel. You make me want to get back into Kyokushin after years being away.
Lambada is sung in Portuguese, this song is La bamba and is in Spanish. Two very different songs that sound very differently as well, how can somebody confuse these two?
well said
I know a lot of people hate on Seagal but he entertained a lot of us in the 90's. I wish someone would say the real story about him and the beef with Van Damme.
Stallone afirmou a verdade
He is a a modest and a well mannered man a man by principles but don't you ever provoke him you respect him he respects you a very straightforward man not on the camera but off the camera his private life.
I think people judge Seagal's martial arts to functional martial arts they see in the MMA. Training with Steven Seagal compared to training with the Machido Brothers is apple's and Oranges because they all take different approaches in martial arts. Tai Chi will be different than American Karate because Tai Chi is a spiritual approach where American Karate takes more of the competition stuff.
To get back to Seagal, people view his version of Aikido to his movie status. It makes sense because if 4 of his first films were hits and he does Under Siege in 1991, they view Aikido in a bad light because Steven Seagal's movie decline. They try to compare him to Dwayne Johnson who was a pro wrestler most of most his career. Dwayne Johnson is a brand in itself, Aikido isn't pro-wrestling, MMA, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, it's a mystical martial arts more than functional.
To get back to Seagal's films, after Under Siege, he utilize more creative control in his movies portraying himself as a spiritual monk. In all his movies, he even performed Aikido with less lethal violence in the movie.
I think and have always thought Seagal was legit, I loved his early movies, some of his later movies were ok to me, (after 2000 though I can't watch them DTV movies they're abysmal).
I think where Seagal went sideways with the masses was that he didn't dedicate himself to keeping himself in better shape.
Not that he had to be a muscle head like the others but just more svelte like in the early 90s. We just don't picture someone over weight being able to fight. Also if you notice in his movies, the heavier he he got the worse the action scenes became and the more awkward looking the outfits became.
It was not a good look for an action hero, especially from being slender and fast to the opposite in just a few years. I've spared with very heavy people in the past and I've also held pads and bags for them and it's not fun getting hit. Obviously in sparring sessions I tried to just hit and run because after feeling a round house or side kick once or twice you don't want that shit again even in a practice setting but it still goes against human nature to see someone very over weight or out of shape as a threat or someone who can teach others about martial arts. It's like a personal trainer who is 400 pounds, you have to wonder a little!
Great channel! Love your content, I grew up watching these guys, my late father and I, we used to love Seagal and Van Damme. 🙌
This vid has inspired me to train in his Aikido does he do seminars in London?
I agree it is nice to hear good things about Segal for a change. Also, to hear him speak with humility. However, one thing that bothers me to this day is the downright nasty animosity he has towards Jean-Claude Van Damme. Whenever JCVD was on a talk show, he would not talk bad about Segal, but when it was the other way around, it was all bad-mouthing...too much so, to where I lost respect for Segal.
You talk about respect? You can´t even spell Seagal´s last name and I guess you did that on purpose. So don´t tell us anything about respect, pal!
@@Katzenhase wtf does spelling have to do with respect? That's unbelievably petty, not to mention it could've easily been a typo. Seagal is on record saying disrespect things about other martial artists in Hollywood. So you can either address those things or stick your head in the sand and correct spelling errors.
Although he is a strange bird (Putting it mildly) But in his art, he is the real deal.
Was he really friends with Mas Oyama and a 7th dan in Kyokushin? What is the source and proof of this information? Also, why doesn't he do more heavy leg kicks and things? Why hasn't he talked about it much? What other black belts does he have?
Steven is a very good martial artist that people love to hate. I recently saw an interview Scott Adkins had with Steven Seagal which showed a side of Steven never seen in mainstream media. He was authentic, humble, and respectful. Very inspiring, to me, to see a glimpse of the real man.
I love your interviews and work Viking Samurai. You too are a humble master, the warrior in the garden. Keep up the great content. Thank you.
Great video. Wish there were more students and martial artists who have trained with him he would speak up and back him up with his abilities.
Good post. Nice to see Segal mixing and matching witj Samurl Kwok Wing Chun. This is a lot of efficiency train 🚆 ing. Are they making training videos together?
yes,i saw some video and photo
Remy is the man
as long as what steven seagal's teachings work! Alotof certain people try and put him or his art down probably becuase they are trying to find a way that works where that art doesn't, or they are angry becuase the aikido art he teaches does in fact work and it makes them mad
Not sure about Aikido as a martial art, my Buddy Alduos did Aikido and I started Judo around the same time, he was a black belt in Aikido by the time I was a brown belt in Judo. He would brag about it, until one day we hit the mats together in HIS dojo, he thought he would show off, but I wiped the floor with him, see he kept waiting for me to throw a punch but I would instead just grab his gi and throw him instead.
You don't seem to want to accept the fact you're dealing with an expert in guerrilla warfare, with a man who's the best, with guns, with knives, with his bare hands. A man who's been trained to ignore pain, ignore weather, to live off the land, to eat things that would make a billy goat puke. On movie sets his job was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill! Period! Win by attrition. Well Seagal was the best.
I remember way back in high school, we had this really good friend named Marshall. This guy was so incredible at painting pictures,
drawings etc. ever since we could remember....that most of the high school teachers nominated him to paint all of these beautiful murals on many of the walls of the high school. That guy was a true Marshall artist.
(GROAN!!)
While I can see you are taking the piss, the term true martial artist is nonsense. Those of us that practice martial arts are all martial artists. The term “true” is a label given by those whom have no tolerance for other arts and artists. It’s an age old pissing contest that has no merit.
@@kungfuwitcher7621 want some pizza?
@@Simon-talks Noooo, too fattening for me now lol.
Those are certainly words
Seagal is also a very high ranked Karateka. He's not just an aikido shihan.
Its like training with Casey Ryback = bing, bam, boom lol. Seagal is the MAN!!!
Ok was good to see this video. With all the hype about SS and his antics, it's really easy to see him a bad light. I've never thought he wasn't a good martial artist. His later acting career did him no favours. His introduction of eastern medicine and philosophy into the " acting" was always pretty cool. Ok I did love his early acting stuff.
It would be cool to actually meet the man, without any of the BS. I'm sure he has many insights that get glossed over.
I’ve always disagreed with the modern narrative that segal is fake. The people who say that don’t have a clue.
How to train with Seagal? Make sure everything is scripted, make sure he doesnt move a lot (might have a heartattack), order some BK afterwards and repeat.
I know more than one person with an honorary rank in Kyokushin, Remy. I wouldn't get carried away with that one until I see Seagal perform a low round kick or a low punch. He has his stripes in aikido and a couple of Chinese martial arts, and as an instructor. No need to pad the resume.
Nice to see .... he will always be nico to me
I study aikido for three years because I thought what Seagal was doing was real and legit, but everytime I get into a physical altercation with an attacker, I always always get my ass kicked when I used aikido. So after so many receiving punches in the face, I eventually gave up aikido and instead went to learn 2 years of Muay Thai and two years of boxing. And like charlie Zalenoff I haven't lost a Street fight yet.
About time segal get respect and credit for being legit
Yep
Then please write his last name correctly if you talk about respect.
@@Katzenhase whatever man
Hilarious! To be student of Segal's you need to have" 9 lives" and a body & bones made of rubber. After he brakes your arm in class you quietly bow and walk to hospital..LoL!!😛😃😂
When scott adkins interviewed him, seagal told him how he trained karate in a very traditional way, with the makiwara and other stuff, check that interview, is very awesome the insights from seagal when he trained karate, before he practiced aikido
Seagal is my favorite martial artist...💪💪💪
I seen Steven Seagal perform at Casino 🎰 Rama in Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 back in 2007, he’s a pretty good guitar 🎸 player.
Because of my big legs and karate I can do the splits no problem
Me too! Lol
Double impact! 😂
I remember watching that movie and when Van Damme said that I was like 🙄🙄 dude get over yourself. Then I went to see Out For Justice and was like alright here we go some action!.
i think they dont really hate him is just that its funny to attack him because he is an eccentric guy
An interesting take on Seagal and Remy who trained with him...Sometimes what we see we may not agree with (in terms of whether we believe someone is legit) but we shouldn't be too quick to judge. In saying that my response to Seagal haters and those who may ask ''Is Seagal legit ? Would simply be ''I don't know, ask those who trained under him or taught him.'' Thanks for the informative video.
I don't doubt Segals Aikido background, but NO way 7th dan Karate of ANY kind. Been caught lying way too often now, shame because he should have just let the skills do the talking and said less nonsense.
Yeahhhhh a 7th Dan in Kyokushin?! I don't buy that. I think he's legit in Aikido no doubt though.
