Not really. Besides, with Aikido, if someone does come up and try to grab you like the people he used as examples, the whole point is to stop it before it gets to that.
@@RUclipsisranbypussiesNo, they used both. Archaic guns were very slow to reload and had short range. Melee weapons were used alongside them for centuries after their introduction.
Can someone please tell Joe to stop saying that aikido was used by the samurai for hand to hand combat. I’m extremely disappointed that he would say such craziness. Aikido was created in 1920 by morihei ueshiba. The hand to hand combat used by the samurai was Jiu-jitsu. True jiu jitsu not the Brazilian version.
It WAS invented with samurai war disarming scenarios in mind, It's just that it was invented long after the samurais were still around. Remember that Joe grew up before the internet age, it may not be his first instinct to immediately Google everything. If this is something he believed for years (told to him by a source he thought was reliable) he will be lit it.
A lot of the techniques practiced by Aikido may have been heavily influenced by disarm techniques used by the samurai. Ueshiba is known to have studied a lot of different martial arts so he might have learned old samurai CQC techniques and incorporated them into his martial art.
Was based on aiki-jutsu. All the techniques are in normal ju-jitsu. Difference with aikijitsu is they'd train in three levels: basic (strikes and techniques but pretty stationary), intermediate (some strikes but more dynamic); high (few strikes, very dynamic). Aikido took the 'highest level' but to be honest it missed out on the basics which I think couldn't really be ommitted.
@@SageRoku22 yeah but it only took off after WO2. So its not exactly the stuff samurai used. Samurai were already using firearms in the 19th century and before anyway. This guy makes it sound like Samurai were using it when they only had swords.
completely false YES it was invented then by copying Jujitsu modern day Aikido Hapkido and Judo ALL comes from Aki Jitsu all this wrist grabing and re-directing force and taking balance from Japan and from the Samarai period ... why do you think there is no punching in any of those arts ??? because there all based on sword defence !!! and have little value today at all.
@@HarmvanderWilt Samurai were using firearms since Sengoku Jidai and before. And while Samurai were abolished in Meji Restoration as a class - it doesn't mean Samurai families disappeared. History is not that neat. Also aikido while modern fighting style has it's roots in Aiki-jujutsu which goes back to like 10th century.
The Samurai used Japanese Jiu-jitsu for combat. It was very effective and battle tested. Actual japanese Jiu-jitsu is still very effective even though it has been watered-down for obvious reasons. The problem is that it is not sexy and pretty or able to be turned into a sport, so it's not popular. Judo, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, and Aikido are direct descendants of Japanese Jiu-jitsu.
I agree with except for one point. Jiu Jitsu isn't a sport not because it doesn't have enough "sexiness" or "prettiness", it's because you would easily injure or kill your opponent if you practice the full extent of Jiu Jitsu on them. Also Japan went through phases of "modernization" and westernization so they banned Jiu Jitsu. The watered down versions (or subsets) of it (Judo, Karate, Aikido, etc) were also created in order to preserve the spirit, techniques and legacy of Jiu Jitsu. PS: bjj is a descendant of Judo
Jiu-jitsu was though. Although some theorize it has roots and influence from India or even ancient Greece (somehow 🤷♂️), I guess pankration could have been taught to people in the east in ancient trade routes.
@@jmpcoelho Chill person, what's your problem? He gave an interesting historical tidbit. As to your passive aggressive question, his point is that Jiu-jitsu (or jujutsu in Japan) was the martial art that samurais used to disarm armed enemies. Aikido was born out of jujutsu. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jujutsu
@@ChrisAntoniou-k1h no it's not a good point. It's not about the opponent potentially being a professional. Joe's point is why would you train something that only works on the most clueless uncoordinated people
yeah, no, it wasn't invented to fight samurai, etc. it wasn't "the Japanese" who invented Aikido, it was a specific Japanese man Morihei Ueshiba who created Aikido. Certainly the use of the sword in the Japanese culture and their indigenous martial arts includes or considers that heavily, and that may be true about Aikijutsu/Daito Ryu Aikijutsu, but Aikido was born out of martial arts expert O'Sensei Morihei Ueshiba having a spiritual experience, and creating a way to embue his art with spiritual perspective and principle. he was an expert in several different arts, and he was also a deeply spiritual man, supernatural things, happened around him, and through him, … It seems like you had to be either him, or a Jedi to be able to do the art. His life story is very interesting and worth reading about…
Aikido did not appear from a vacuum. Ueshiba was known to have studied many kinds of martial arts before he created Aikido. Disarm techniques like wrist and arm locks that are a staple of Aikido was used by the Samurai to fight against armed and armored opponents. It’s most likely Ueshiba learned these old techniques and incorporated it into Aikido.
When someone that's trained in Aikido grabs you, unless you're on crack, you will feel pain and you will move in a way to alleviate that pain. I've trained in Isshinryu karate for over 2 decades and when I attended an Aikido seminar and was stopped by the instructor, I did whatever came naturally to me, in the moment, to stop the feeling of joints being bent in a way that they shouldn't be bent.
Steven did variety of martial arts not aikido he did karate judo kendo wing chun and did train under machado brothers in BJJ he can handle himself and advantage he is a big dude
The thing about training is you subconsciously go along with what they are doing as a student. If he was attacking you, you likely wouldn't allow him to carefully grab your hand, wrist or elbow. You would be grappling and striking in a way he couldn't predict. Nobody wants to upstage an "instructor " so they go along to get along in the hopes of actually learning something instead of being a practice dummy randomly to make the instructor feel good about himself.
Ju Jutsu evolved from the older form of yoroi kumi uchi, "grappling in armour" Morei Ueshiba who founded Aikido was a Ju Jutsu master , but Aikido is "diluted", and that was on purpose, the same as Judo was also diluted Ju Jutsu.
Regardless who or how it was invented, it is total BS. I feel so bad for those guys that put years into learning some BS martial art only to find out it does not work. I knew a guy that was a serious Karate master. He was known as that guy since 3rd grade. Nobody would mess with him because we were all afraid of him. He was in some magazines and won many national titles. Nobody doubted him. In senior year of HS we were at a party across town and there were a lot of guys form another HS that did not know to be afraid of him. He got his ass beat by a guy half his size. It was a rough senior year for him.
The issue with a lot of “demostrative" moves in martial arts (and I said it as someone who has practiced it before), is that they only work under ideal situations, just like a partner cooperating with you for doing it. There is a lot of great things to learn from traditional martial arts, but there is also a lot to understand about what is really aplicable and in what context it is.
My very limited experience, it seemed to be all about using your opponents momentum to put him into a position in which he is precariously balanced - then taking advantage of that.
Coming from a law enforcement perspective, aikido is very good for apprehension of suspects. Wrist locks and submission techniques are great for that. But, once the fight goes to the ground, you have to know jj. When I was in law enforcement, we were taught both aikido and bjj.
Agreed, I studied it for a couple of years and have used it quite successfully while working in the security sector. It’s extremely effective if used in the right context. Fighting in a ring isn’t one of them.
@@punisher7772no no no,, Chuck Norris invented Karate and taught the Japanese his Chuckyness. Kung Fu was founded by Bruce Lee to defend against Chuck's devastations. Hence the birth of the "Nun-Chuck!"
He's 100% spot on. And because you're one of the fools and invested so much time in this fallacy you're pissed off. He ( like the rest of us) knows exactly what he's talking about.
As a teen I had a brown belt in Aikido. It gives you a different close combat perspective. It’s about weight shifts, if you are quick, you can certainly get advantage in many situations. It’s not just about swords, even knives, clubs, etc… it can be super useful. Now Daniel Cormier, well that might be a different story. But those front kick KOs you see, that’s one of Aikido’s best arsenal.
Fighting focused styles of aikido is very similar to Karate. So maybe almost as effective as karate but maybe less effective. However, aside from anecdotal evidence, it is yet to be proven against other martial arts. Only real way to prove it is effective is for its practitioners to join and win mixed martial arts competitions. Until then, it's still bullshido.
Everyone is forgetting Steven Seagal wasn’t some average size guy. In his prime he was in shape and a big dude, he could definitely defend himself and dish out some damage because of his size alone. Not just because he’s an Aikido master, but he also knew and practiced other martial arts as well.
Dude, that bullshit "fighting style" isn't working on anyone who knows how to fight even a little bit. What asshole is gonna run at you with their arm straight out? His style much like the man himself, is complete bullshit
Aikido has a principle: use your opponents energy, redirect it against him. This may apply on any opponent, armed or not, strong or weak, wrestler or accountant.
You kmow why joe rogan is wrong. It was a jiu jitsu style that was used in the regard he is referring to. Real aikido is a 20 century art developed by morihei ushiba in the early 1900s
i remember a time when people would ridicule spinning attacks and said they don't work in real fights. now they're part of the standard MMA repertoire and quite a few big knockouts and important moments (Holloway Gaethje nose break!) have come from them. to quote a Dota pro: "EVERYTHING can work". wouldn't be surprised if people found a use for some form of aikido
useful in certain street situations where the guy might have a weapon and you use it for self defence. Pretty much what it's for! Against a trained fighter with wrestling skill it is going to let you down very badly! As Joe said
Yeah, they use spinning attacks in "professional Wrestling" too. How big does a sport need to become before it's transformed into sports entertainment? How much money has to be involved before natural outcomes are too risky for the business to be viable?
I've got a foundation in judo and boxing and done classes in kung fu, Aikido, and Tai Chi. In fact they all help in self defence because they train your body to react in certain helpful ways. But systems don't win fights on the street. But anything you add to your skillset does help.
The intent of Aikido isn't just to disarm someone or self-defense. It is about how to take down your opponent most effectively with minimal effort without hurting the opponent in a lethal manner involving specific techniques of grips, parry and advanced judo.
It is a joke if you take it as a joke, like if you only learn the moves like a dance in the dojo, and assume they're gonna work in real life just fine. On the other hand, if you learn well and have experience in fights, and know how to translate it to real fight situations, then it can be as devastating as any other martial arts under these conditions.
Someone once said that the reason people think Aikido is not good it's because it's popular with soft guys but reality is that it's brutal and effective just like other grappling martial arts.
@@francismurage895The reason we think it's not good is because it doesn't have any applicable techniques for a self-defense scenario. Pain is a motivator. Not a deterrent.😊
I'm not a fan of Aikido, but this obsession of always bringing it back to putting an aikido guy or a karate guy VS a wrestler or a bjj guy doesn't make any sense. Aikido and karate are civilian martial arts meant to deal with an average Joe, not in a competition scenario.
Exactly!! I got mugged by 2 small guys coming at me stupidly on the sidewalk at 3am. I never had a 250-lb muscular trained D1 wrester charge me. Or a highly trained striker pick me apart.
Wrong, Aikijutsu is the art of Samurai unarmed combat. It includes choking, joint locks, pressure points, throws, footwork, stances and sweeps. Aikido and Judo were created from it. Aikido's founder Morihei Ueshiba wanted to create an art that would hurt the attacker as little as possible. Judo's founder Kano Jigoro wanted to create a more competitive version for sports application. They were both black belts and had studied Aikijutsu together under the same master Takeda Sokaku. There aren't many dojos left. But Daito Ryu Aikijutsu is bad ass. And would definitely work for self defense application.
He didn't want to hurt people as little as possible if it meant anything like what happens in a real fight. He wanted to harmonize with his opponent, but not so they could be friends.
@@MarcIverson Akiljutsu and Judo are both more effective than Aikido for self defense. It's the weakest art because they are worried about hurting their opponent. Gentle isn't the best way, when it comes to fighting, lol. I'm not saying that it's completely useless. Just not as effective as other martial arts.
@@gregheinl6931 I agree completely. I think many of their ideas and throws are top-notch, but require someone top-notch to apply them, and often in ideal circumstances. I don't want to have to learn for 25 years to simply defend myself because I can also feel I've been spiritually enlightened in the process. And that's my right and that's the right of an instructor not to accept anybody like me. I particularly disagree with not necessarily or entirely with their training in a non-combative way, but with their exhibiting their combat efficiency in public by having absolute stooge attackers thumpingly plod toward defenders in slow motion with "attacks" that couldn't possibly be more obvious, and I mean that literally. A guy holding his arm out as a spear stumbling in from a good distance, time and time again. That is fine for training, especially at lower levels, but has nothing to do with fighting.
i’m happy to hurt you! I guess you have never trained with the IWAMA guys. with all respect a lot of people have never trained and comment. People are unfortunately ignorant in the matter. Please read, watch documentaries. Do you think the police and military would train aikido if it was bullshit.
People underestimate Steven Segal because Aikido is absent from MMA and have the misperception that it's an entirely defensive art, but in a real world fight Aikido is no joke. People don't understand that hard-core Aikido not just defensive, it is really all about ending fights quickly with death strokes to the neck, with or without a sword. The demonstrations and exhibitions you see of Aikido are not hard-core, aggressive and offensive Aikido. Also, a lot of people think if you could only master one martial art, it should be jiu-jitsu, presumably because "all fights end on the ground." That is great if you're in top shape and condition all of your life.. But as you get older and you get out of shape and get weaker and slower like everyone does in older age, then Aikido is going to be the best martial art to have mastery in because it is much, much less dependent on conditioning and strength and speed than Aikido is. Imagine fragile, weak Joe Biden, he can barely walk: would he better equipped to defend himself at 80 years old if he were a jiu jitsu master or if he were an Aikido master? That being said, you probably won't find many hard-core Aikido sensai outside of Japan.
And Seagal is a big dude… that helps too lol. ESP in his prime. I could see him being able to f*ck people up no problem. He also knew other martial arts as well, not just Aikido.
Akido joint locks or finger manipulation in full or half guard will get you kicked out of a jujitsu school. No one likes getting fingers almost broken when trying to get a choke on. But if I know how to fight and im fighting a wrestler or jitsu guy I'm breaking fingers wrists and arms, eye gouging, etc.. on someone trying to choke me out.. fuck the rules on the street.
Unfortunately, respect is all but lost in most martial arts schools nowadays. It's one of the things we were taught many years ago. These days, martial arts students are not taught respect.
Finally, someone gets it. On the battlefield against men with swords, wrestling, boxing, etc doesnt work! All martial art styles have their ideal CONTEXT.
This and also lot of the masters are black-belts in various martial arts, so it's just part of their overall tool-set. I particularly like the school of Shoji Nishio who shows how small adjustments in the techniques can make them so much more effective, with their original principle in mind and also how often atemi (strikes) commonly disregarded are integral part of aikido - not to finish, but to "prep" opponent for more effective aplication of throwing or pinning techniques and interrupting opponent's rythm.
@@omarimartin9502 I am, which is why I trust the opinions of the people that have trained aikido for over a decade and have come to the conclusion that it's garbage :)
@@ailurusfulgens1849 I've trained in aikido for over a decade also. Its not garbage. The effectiveness of a martial art depends on the practitioner and the context. For example, there are many aikido techniques that are not permitted in MMA fights so in an MMA match the aikidoka doesnt have much weapons. MMA is setup to suit boxers, grapplers and wrestlers. Aikido was developped through swordsmanship and is basically a descendent of jui-jitsu which swordsmen used whenever they were separated from their sword. So aikido works best against sword attacks and attacks where the attacker is fully committed in motion which is precisely what used to happen on the battlefields of samurais and shoguns. In a more modern sense, aikido is effective for bouncers, policemen and bodyguards who have to restrain individuals and quell dangerous situations quickly. So I dont know who you've been listening to but aikido is not useless. Like all martial arts, it has its ideal CONTEXT.
MMA is a sport with rules and a referee to stop the fight. Being good at the sport of mma doesn't mean they can beat everyone on the street. Try getting hit in the back of the head, eye strikes, throat strikes, etc. Not even counting if someone is armed or uses an improvised weapon. Plus in mma, they fight other people within the same weight class. On the street they can be fighting someone that is 50 to 100 pounds heavier and a lot stronger.
An untrained person would get destroyed by an MMA fighter. It's crazy to suggest someone one the streets would just be stronger than a professional athlete trained to fight. And while MMA has rules, they are not typical martial artists, they know how to do all the dirty stuff people do on the streets and more, they just don't use them to not kill each other. An MMA fighter in a street fight would kick you right in the liver so fast you won't be able to react, and you go down along with your extra 100 pounds.
The practical comes from the traditional… The techniques are fantastic if you can find an energetic school thats more about intense training than the spiritual stuff
Respectfully I've never ever seen it work. I've watched a guy who took Karate for 20 years get blasted by a guy who had been Thai boxing only a few years. I've seen a Akido guy with 20 years experience get blasted by a Karate guy with about 4 years experience.. It's wise to spend time training with a system that works like Muay Thai and Jiujitsu.. I'd pick any style of Karate over Akido...
@@outlaw_80 This is because Aikido doesn’t actually work in competition. In competition there are rules, and the goal is to subdue the opponent. Aikido in a real life scenario is meant to simply survive the situation, not to necessarily incapacitate the attacker. Generally speaking, it will fail in competition. Because even if the Aikido practitioner were always successful, they would never actually incapacitate the opponent, and therefore never meet an end to the fight.
@@JoJoTheOtter That's a strange set of ideas. Aikido regularly wrenches joints out of their sockets etc., often with the full weight of a falling body behind it, to not just destroy joints, but to do it in a process of landing people on the ground on their head and necks. It's a body-destroying and life-taking art. If ... you can pull it off, anyway.
The problem about people criticizing the art of Aikido is that, Aikido itself didn't even involve in competitions because it wasn't made to compete. It is plainly a discipline, and a form of defense. I am no martial arts expert nor practiced any of such. I did, however, used to spectate sessions on Aikido, Muay Thai, and TKD. And I'd say, aikido was totally different from any other disciplines. Don't mean to disrespect or discriminate, but that's why, most Aikido practitioners keep it more of a low profile because of how their Sensei would discipline them, other martial arts practitioners on the other hand, tend to show off what they can do. Just like these MMA guys who tend to talk trash just to sell fights, and even talk trash about their opponents' families, wives, fathers, etc. That's why MMA these days tend to focus more on entertainment, bad bloods, and all sorts if shit, rather than martial arts itself. These critics on the other hand are forcing things and compare Aikido to other disciplines. Just my one cent 🤷
You are not experienced enough in Aikido to know better. A Black Belt or Shodan, only means you have learned the basics and are ready to move forward in the arts. I mix 14 years of Shodokan Karate, 5 years of Boxing training, 10 years of summer school wrestling and many years of Aikido, from 1984. I am no master but found Aikido, once I became proficient, in the art of Aikido, completed my circle of fighting skills. Aikido has literally saved my life and the life of another.
Lmao you're a legit geriatric. No modern professional MMA fighter with any success has an akido background. Discipline and repetition of movements and conditioning are good things that akido teaches... But so does every other martial art. Or it should
How would you know more just from training that nonsense that doesn't actually test anything? That's his point. Go TEST it then come back to us with the video
@@kornorstonepictures2333 you're about 75 years old so I won't hold it against you, your generation genuinely doesn't know better. There are no MMA fighters with an akido speciality. In fact there's this dude in China who goes around challenging the grandmasters of Akido, Wing Chun, Etc to no rule fights (short of 🥜 shots, head kicks, biting etc) and has literally embarrassed every single one. He's not even a professionally MMA fighter and only started training later in life and still whooped them ALL. The principles taught in akido, like discipline, repetition of movements, conditioning etc can all be good things... But those aren't only taught in akido and you'd have the added bonus of *actually* being able to fight 😂
@@McGeezle I agree with you and talk from experience, on and off the streets. I fought on the mat, in wrestling and martial arts competitions and only on the street as a boxer and proved highly proficient against most, on the street. I was attacked from the rear, punched, right behind my ear and hit the deck hard. He proceeded to punch and kick me. It was everything to keep my wits about me and block off, stand up and knock down this Tarzan looking maniac fool. He got right back up and started darting his punches at my face. I had to kick him in the mid section and do a dubble upper cut, into his eye and chin. He went down again but came up slower and I said. Nice Fight! Put my hand out he slapped it and I told him to go address his wounds. That really pissed him off. If you want to hear more about this story. Just say so. I have the police and DAs report.

I too am an Akido specialist and weapons mastery sensei; and I can say Joe is 100% right. Grappling is Akido's primary weakness. Also Seigal is crap at Akido. Just sayin'
Have you ever seen Steven’s knuckles? You judge him by watching this videos in which he trained his students. This is an exercise, not a real fight. I once seen him doing a rapid kick in a grappling situation. This man deserves more credit.
in his 20-30 , yeah he was fast and strong but since 40+, he became a joke and fat and slow as sh*t, today he just use aikido art as an excuse to not move, his opponent are the one doing the gymnastic to make steven ''art'' credible
This guy has no Idea about Aikido at all!!! Aikido is the apex of Japanese Martial arts and it's not because it's so powerfull, but because the idea behind it! I don't know Steven Seagal may be he is the bed person or may be some powerfull people in Holliwood got mad on him, but he is definitely did a lot in aikido and for aikido! And he did for Aikido same that Bruce Lee did for Kung Fu years ago! And this is the fact!
@@billycooper4530 Thank you! I think what a generous Idea hed Morihei Ueshiba use energy of evil against evil! It's like energy recycling! Morihei Ueshiba prohibit fighting compitition in Aikido only show! because it's was a show of his creation! It's was a gift for all martial arts! Aikido is the basic potential of ability to manage the power of energy! (step one) Steven Seagal did step number two he translated Aikido to the world and made us understand it! I hope it's gonna expend more! may be someone is gonna do step three and continued! I'd love to see it!!!
@igorvaiman68 I only differ on my ethical background opinion based on this very slight description alternative. Instead of a recycling term, I like this even better, "energy reflected," as in a mirror. This is how Steven described it in an interview after his Martial Arts Hall of Fame induction in 2004 with votes over 20,000 martial artists of all genres globally! The read on a person's energy with ill intent is measured and reflected back to him, ranging from disputes to lethal intent. And the delivery must never be delayed, this leads to bigger problems. Alas, my view is generated on these spiritual principles, 1) Men will reap what they sow. 2) The person that rolls a stone on someone's head will have one rolled onto his. 3) Authorities should be feared only if your deeds are evil, for they do not bear arms for nothing. Good men have to fear nothing. 4) Those who live by the sword will die by the sword. So my opinion is that these principles in bringing back peace and harmony to disturbed individuals is in itself a very good thing. To instigate war is evil, to stop war is good. That is the goal of real Aikidoku. Men who possess the capacity to stop warring at any level should be respected above all others. My personal spin was given in the end for a dramatic close.
In other words Akido will save your life in a street fight if applied correctly, while grabbing someone with a sword could be fatal. All you need do then is both. The Akido for someone armed and the wrestling for a more civilised confrontation. Horses for courses. Though Europeans love to shit on anything they never invented. Case in point boxing and wrestling. These can be very effective when applied by an expert. But most people are not an expert and are only given a nominal advantage with these skills way less than they want you to believe. Boxing and wrestling in it's current form are basically European. The only reason they attract superior fighters than karate or other non European martial arts is athletes follow the money. It is basically the opposite to how people like Joe Rogan describe it. It's a fact that if boxing and wrestling had no money behind them, and non European martial arts had a stack of money, boxing and wrestling would have the inferior athletes. And people would not be saying how effective they are but how basic and ineffective. Reminds me of "once upon a time in Hollywood" where Rogans fellow Italian American Quintan Tarantino indulged his Eurocentrism and bias. He basically has Brad Pits character beating up "Bruce Lee". The reality is a washed up wife killing town drunk loser like that role played by Brad, would not last thirty seconds with the real Bruce Lee. And the actor playing him would just run if Bruce attacked him.
I would say the disconnection is real but your logic or idea of "modern aikido" is actually applies to a case by case or dojo by dojo basis. The lineage im from is real intense militaristic form. Mostly what we see is the trophy dojos, think of it as a sport and show/competition based, not practical in the streets.
@@Cr0w805aikido doesn’t do competition. They don’t have it, and they have pressure testing. Bring anyone who knows a sliver of bjj or wrestling to your gym and watch all your “black belts” get smashed. Bring a boxer too just to see how stupid yall sound about just grabbing their wrists.
@@joee7626 With you 100%. Rogan is a legit kickboxer, has legit BJJ, and still has a ton of power. Steven wouldn't have beaten him in his prime, unless maybe Rogan was wearing a full samurai armor to weigh him down.
He wouldn't challenge you, either. Why? Neither challenge would be worthwhile, because the outcome is a forgone conclusion: Joe standing over either of you in victory after an easy takedown.
Joe is talking nonsense, but he does train and would probably beat Steven Segal, especially now. In their prime, Segal obviously has a size advantage. @mr-boo He is not a legit kickboxer. The only standup style he seriously trained was taekwondo. He's into BJJ and good because he's obsessed with it.
u actually believe an elderly overweight bad heart man can beat Rogan, who is trained in MMA all his life with the biggest fighters and schools. that tells us A LOT about how your brain works
Muay thai and bjj are the only actual and practical martial arts, everything else is bs. A muay thai master would demolish any and every aikido master.
@@gigabased4I would say muay Thai + judo/wrestling combo would be deadly as self defense. Also sambo. I would take judo over bjj training every time. Bjj is nothing else but Katame-waza from judo taken and worked on.
People have tried. The so-called masters refuse to engage or prove their martial art. They waffle on about how dangerous it is, or how its only meant to be used in self-defense. If you know anything about martial arts, youd know this is suspicious as fuck. People from every field and discipline cream themselves over the opportunity to show off their mall-dojo karate school, or backyard wrestling MMA knock off. The martial arts community is passionate if nothing else. Refusing to engage just sorta proves its a fraud.
Yeah, I mean. It's good against drunks. It's actually based on a philosophy of non-violence overcomming violence. Morihei Ueshiba taught absolute non-physical, non-violence in the end.
It’s extremely effective against an armed person,up close. Similar results with a person unarmed. Mixing it with other forms is key for most engagements.
OK there was no mixed martial arts until recent years. These fighters are athletes and train hard and have the benefit of experience. When ufc started it was just martial arts instructors from all around the usa testing their skills against similar opponents. They usually had only one discipline and their were NO WEIGHT CLASSES. Let that sink in. To compare Steven Segal against mma fighters is ridiculous. Now put young Steven Segal against a regular guy who thinks he's a badass and Steven would lock him up and snap his limbs. It's funny that Joe isn't comparing Bruce Lee to mma fighters etc. Learning any martial art is not "funzies" that's disrespectful of the original arts and the fact that mma is a derivative of them. Jesus
Judo was synthesized from another style of ju-jutsu about 30 years earlier than Aikido by Cano , to specifically be a sport, soo people wouldn’t get killed while practicing
@@Duck_Dodgersnope; you are. He’s actually very right. They used an old form of jiu jitsu. People later made bjj or Brazilian jiu jitsu later on based on this.
The videos that they show Steven Segall “throwing” guys around isn’t really him “throwing them”. They are rolling in the direction of energy so they don’t get their bones broken during a demonstration. In real life a person who isn’t trained to go in the direction of what looks like a throw chooses to instead resists against it, they face the likelihood of getting that bone/joint/ligament getting severely damaged.
That's only true if there was an actual throw. Steven Seagull merely stands there, flapping his arms, while his ukes toss themselves in the air. Yes, you need to know how to break fall, but that's about it, in this case.
I have done aikido and just proceeded to the 2nd level belt only. The session is a repetitive practice, and a lot of people gave up because they got bored because it is almost the same movement. But the repetitive movement actually is training the body to move smoothly and fast. I have managed to quickly dodge a sudden punch from a stranger and restrained him fast, which I was amazed.
Once again, Joe proving why he shouldn't be on air by giving out false information. So many of his fans are the most arrogantly wrong people I have ever met.
Don’t cooperate and get your wrist broken. The amount of pressure on that wrist is too hard to handle. Modern day mma fighters have become too easily the superhero’s and that’s just not the case
Steven Seagal was picking fights with Japanese Gangs when I was kid to sharpen his skills. I don’t think anyone would want to be in a ring with him without rules. Show me where he lost a fight.

Steven Seagal's profession seems to require a certain amount of cooperation from their opponent.
😂😂

Commitment ..
Yeah never a good sign of a martial art when someone who is supposed to be trying to end your life has to cooperate with you to make it effective.

In other words....it works in a very specific situation....against a committing armed opponent. Thats pretty cool
It's bs, even if a samurai did it. If they lost there sword in battle they had a smaller dagger etc and not all samurai even use a sword
@blazet300 as soon as guns were invented, samurai quit using swords and used guns.
Not really. Besides, with Aikido, if someone does come up and try to grab you like the people he used as examples, the whole point is to stop it before it gets to that.

Joe Rogan the samurai invented Jujutsu Not Aikido ! But Aikido Like All Japanese Grappling Arts Their Ancestor Is Jujutsu
Can someone please tell Joe to stop saying that aikido was used by the samurai for hand to hand combat. I’m extremely disappointed that he would say such craziness. Aikido was created in 1920 by morihei ueshiba. The hand to hand combat used by the samurai was Jiu-jitsu. True jiu jitsu not the Brazilian version.
It's just lazy on his part because he heard someone else say it.
Not even that, the art martial that they practice was daitō-ryū aikijūjutsu (spelling maybe wrong). And yes, the guy is very uninformed!!
It WAS invented with samurai war disarming scenarios in mind, It's just that it was invented long after the samurais were still around. Remember that Joe grew up before the internet age, it may not be his first instinct to immediately Google everything. If this is something he believed for years (told to him by a source he thought was reliable) he will be lit it.
The samurai were long gone when aikido was made.
You are correct. Aikido is too young in the samurai period. It was always the ancient jiu-jitsu.
Morehei Ueshiba, Creator of Aikido was born 1883. Era of Samurai ended 1870. so yeah…
he would have been 7 LOL
@@klw3786 you mean negative 13... Who taught you math?....LOL He was 7 in 1890 20 years later.
Were there any samurai left, any traditions and practices still evident?
Came here to say the same, aikido started after the samurai era. This guy is so wrong speaking lies as they were true…
A lot of the techniques practiced by Aikido may have been heavily influenced by disarm techniques used by the samurai. Ueshiba is known to have studied a lot of different martial arts so he might have learned old samurai CQC techniques and incorporated them into his martial art.
He's a legit master of bullsheedo!

His other childish word.😅
This wasn't invented until after 1900. Long after Samurai were gone
Was based on aiki-jutsu. All the techniques are in normal ju-jitsu. Difference with aikijitsu is they'd train in three levels: basic (strikes and techniques but pretty stationary), intermediate (some strikes but more dynamic); high (few strikes, very dynamic). Aikido took the 'highest level' but to be honest it missed out on the basics which I think couldn't really be ommitted.
Not that long in historical terms. Decades apart. Samurai stopped being after the Meiji restoration in 1868.
@@SageRoku22 yeah but it only took off after WO2. So its not exactly the stuff samurai used. Samurai were already using firearms in the 19th century and before anyway. This guy makes it sound like Samurai were using it when they only had swords.
completely false YES it was invented then by copying Jujitsu modern day Aikido Hapkido and Judo ALL comes from Aki Jitsu all this wrist grabing and re-directing force and taking balance from Japan and from the Samarai period ... why do you think there is no punching in any of those arts ??? because there all based on sword defence !!! and have little value today at all.
@@HarmvanderWilt Samurai were using firearms since Sengoku Jidai and before. And while Samurai were abolished in Meji Restoration as a class - it doesn't mean Samurai families disappeared.
History is not that neat.
Also aikido while modern fighting style has it's roots in Aiki-jujutsu which goes back to like 10th century.
The Samurai used Japanese Jiu-jitsu for combat. It was very effective and battle tested. Actual japanese Jiu-jitsu is still very effective even though it has been watered-down for obvious reasons. The problem is that it is not sexy and pretty or able to be turned into a sport, so it's not popular. Judo, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, and Aikido are direct descendants of Japanese Jiu-jitsu.
Yeah bjj is essentially katame-waza from judo.
yes THE LAST PART is correct why cant people understand that hapkido as well it all comes from Jiu jitsu
The Japanese spelled it "Jujutsu", "Ju" meaning "gentle" and "Jutsu" meaning "art" or "technique"
I agree with except for one point.
Jiu Jitsu isn't a sport not because it doesn't have enough "sexiness" or "prettiness", it's because you would easily injure or kill your opponent if you practice the full extent of Jiu Jitsu on them.
Also Japan went through phases of "modernization" and westernization so they banned Jiu Jitsu. The watered down versions (or subsets) of it (Judo, Karate, Aikido, etc) were also created in order to preserve the spirit, techniques and legacy of Jiu Jitsu.
PS: bjj is a descendant of Judo
Aikido WAS NOT invented for samurai to fight an opponent with a sword.
That's just plain ignorance.
Jiu-jitsu was though. Although some theorize it has roots and influence from India or even ancient Greece (somehow 🤷♂️), I guess pankration could have been taught to people in the east in ancient trade routes.

yeah, no, it wasn't invented to fight samurai, etc. it wasn't "the Japanese" who invented Aikido, it was a specific Japanese man Morihei Ueshiba who created Aikido. Certainly the use of the sword in the Japanese culture and their indigenous martial arts includes or considers that heavily, and that may be true about Aikijutsu/Daito Ryu Aikijutsu, but Aikido was born out of martial arts expert O'Sensei Morihei Ueshiba having a spiritual experience, and creating a way to embue his art with spiritual perspective and principle.
he was an expert in several different arts, and he was also a deeply spiritual man, supernatural things, happened around him, and through him, … It seems like you had to be either him, or a Jedi to be able to do the art.
His life story is very interesting and worth reading about…
Hmmm, didnt Segal say he trained him?
@@DemiGod.. him who?
@@DemiGod..No! He never even met him.
@DemiGod.. I think he did say that but I think also the founder of Aikido died when Seagal was an adolescent.
Aikido did not appear from a vacuum. Ueshiba was known to have studied many kinds of martial arts before he created Aikido. Disarm techniques like wrist and arm locks that are a staple of Aikido was used by the Samurai to fight against armed and armored opponents. It’s most likely Ueshiba learned these old techniques and incorporated it into Aikido.
When someone that's trained in Aikido grabs you, unless you're on crack, you will feel pain and you will move in a way to alleviate that pain. I've trained in Isshinryu karate for over 2 decades and when I attended an Aikido seminar and was stopped by the instructor, I did whatever came naturally to me, in the moment, to stop the feeling of joints being bent in a way that they shouldn't be bent.
Train 2 weeks jiu jitsu you’ll be able to make him beg lol
Steven did variety of martial arts not aikido he did karate judo kendo wing chun and did train under machado brothers in BJJ he can handle himself and advantage he is a big dude
The thing about training is you subconsciously go along with what they are doing as a student. If he was attacking you, you likely wouldn't allow him to carefully grab your hand, wrist or elbow. You would be grappling and striking in a way he couldn't predict. Nobody wants to upstage an "instructor " so they go along to get along in the hopes of actually learning something instead of being a practice dummy randomly to make the instructor feel good about himself.
I don't know why people think Seagal is a joke when even Anderson Silva trained with him and you can see it in youtube.

Regardless who or how it was invented, it is total BS. I feel so bad for those guys that put years into learning some BS martial art only to find out it does not work.

Aikido is defined as an art that specializes in using pivoting motions, and the momentum of the attacker, to neutralize the attack.
It works assuming your opponent is also using Akido, which was probably very realistic during its original time period.
Both must know the same shit otherwise it won't work LOL.
The issue with a lot of “demostrative" moves in martial arts (and I said it as someone who has practiced it before), is that they only work under ideal situations, just like a partner cooperating with you for doing it.
There is a lot of great things to learn from traditional martial arts, but there is also a lot to understand about what is really aplicable and in what context it is.
Right, deflection and redirection of motion.
My very limited experience, it seemed to be all about using your opponents momentum to put him into a position in which he is precariously balanced - then taking advantage of that.
Coming from a law enforcement perspective, aikido is very good for apprehension of suspects. Wrist locks and submission techniques are great for that. But, once the fight goes to the ground, you have to know jj. When I was in law enforcement, we were taught both aikido and bjj.
Where are you law enforcement?

As a teen I had a brown belt in Aikido. It gives you a different close combat perspective. It’s about weight shifts, if you are quick, you can certainly get advantage in many situations. It’s not just about swords, even knives, clubs, etc… it can be super useful. Now Daniel Cormier, well that might be a different story.
But those front kick KOs you see, that’s one of Aikido’s best arsenal.
When it was invented it was a actual fighting style, now it is a sport. There is a difference.
Fighting focused styles of aikido is very similar to Karate. So maybe almost as effective as karate but maybe less effective. However, aside from anecdotal evidence, it is yet to be proven against other martial arts. Only real way to prove it is effective is for its practitioners to join and win mixed martial arts competitions. Until then, it's still bullshido.
Everyone is forgetting Steven Seagal wasn’t some average size guy. In his prime he was in shape and a big dude, he could definitely defend himself and dish out some damage because of his size alone. Not just because he’s an Aikido master, but he also knew and practiced other martial arts as well.

i remember a time when people would ridicule spinning attacks and said they don't work in real fights. now they're part of the standard MMA repertoire and quite a few big knockouts and important moments (Holloway Gaethje nose break!) have come from them.
to quote a Dota pro: "EVERYTHING can work".
wouldn't be surprised if people found a use for some form of aikido
useful in certain street situations where the guy might have a weapon and you use it for self defence. Pretty much what it's for!
Against a trained fighter with wrestling skill it is going to let you down very badly! As Joe said
How is that relevant whatsoever?
Yeah, they use spinning attacks in "professional Wrestling" too.
How big does a sport need to become before it's transformed into sports entertainment? How much money has to be involved before natural outcomes are too risky for the business to be viable?
I've got a foundation in judo and boxing and done classes in kung fu, Aikido, and Tai Chi. In fact they all help in self defence because they train your body to react in certain helpful ways. But systems don't win fights on the street. But anything you add to your skillset does help.
Spinning back fist works.
I believe Akido applied well with kungfu would be an asset for UFC..
Just like boxing and kicking
The intent of Aikido isn't just to disarm someone or self-defense. It is about how to take down your opponent most effectively with minimal effort without hurting the opponent in a lethal manner involving specific techniques of grips, parry and advanced judo.
It is a joke if you take it as a joke, like if you only learn the moves like a dance in the dojo, and assume they're gonna work in real life just fine. On the other hand, if you learn well and have experience in fights, and know how to translate it to real fight situations, then it can be as devastating as any other martial arts under these conditions.
Someone once said that the reason people think Aikido is not good it's because it's popular with soft guys but reality is that it's brutal and effective just like other grappling martial arts.
@@francismurage895The reason we think it's not good is because it doesn't have any applicable techniques for a self-defense scenario. Pain is a motivator. Not a deterrent.😊

Wrong, Aikijutsu is the art of Samurai unarmed combat. It includes choking, joint locks, pressure points, throws, footwork, stances and sweeps. Aikido and Judo were created from it. Aikido's founder Morihei Ueshiba wanted to create an art that would hurt the attacker as little as possible. Judo's founder Kano Jigoro wanted to create a more competitive version for sports application. They were both black belts and had studied Aikijutsu together under the same master Takeda Sokaku. There aren't many dojos left. But Daito Ryu Aikijutsu is bad ass. And would definitely work for self defense application.
He didn't want to hurt people as little as possible if it meant anything like what happens in a real fight. He wanted to harmonize with his opponent, but not so they could be friends.
@@MarcIverson Akiljutsu and Judo are both more effective than Aikido for self defense. It's the weakest art because they are worried about hurting their opponent.

@@gregheinl6931 I agree completely. I think many of their ideas and throws are top-notch, but require someone top-notch to apply them, and often in ideal circumstances.

Very informative and what a great way to disarm someone, actually makes sense. Thanks Rogan✔️
People underestimate Steven Segal because Aikido is absent from MMA and have the misperception that it's an entirely defensive art, but in a real world fight Aikido is no joke. People don't understand that hard-core Aikido not just defensive, it is really all about ending fights quickly with death strokes to the neck, with or without a sword. The demonstrations and exhibitions you see of Aikido are not hard-core, aggressive and offensive Aikido.
Also, a lot of people think if you could only master one martial art, it should be jiu-jitsu, presumably because "all fights end on the ground." That is great if you're in top shape and condition all of your life.. But as you get older and you get out of shape and get weaker and slower like everyone does in older age, then Aikido is going to be the best martial art to have mastery in because it is much, much less dependent on conditioning and strength and speed than Aikido is. Imagine fragile, weak Joe Biden, he can barely walk: would he better equipped to defend himself at 80 years old if he were a jiu jitsu master or if he were an Aikido master?

Akido joint locks or finger manipulation in full or half guard will get you kicked out of a jujitsu school. No one likes getting fingers almost broken when trying to get a choke on. But if I know how to fight and im fighting a wrestler or jitsu guy I'm breaking fingers wrists and arms, eye gouging, etc.. on someone trying to choke me out.. fuck the rules on the street.
Unfortunately, respect is all but lost in most martial arts schools nowadays. It's one of the things we were taught many years ago. These days, martial arts students are not taught respect.
It's self defense and escape, it's not about being Billy Bob Badass who thinks they can fight half the world and screw the other half.
Finally, someone gets it. On the battlefield against men with swords, wrestling, boxing, etc doesnt work! All martial art styles have their ideal CONTEXT.
This and also lot of the masters are black-belts in various martial arts, so it's just part of their overall tool-set.
I particularly like the school of Shoji Nishio who shows how small adjustments in the techniques can make them so much more effective, with their original principle in mind and also how often atemi (strikes) commonly disregarded are integral part of aikido - not to finish, but to "prep" opponent for more effective aplication of throwing or pinning techniques and interrupting opponent's rythm.

@@ailurusfulgens1849 I've trained in aikido for over a decade also. Its not garbage. The effectiveness of a martial art depends on the practitioner and the context. For example, there are many aikido techniques that are not permitted in MMA fights so in an MMA match the aikidoka doesnt have much weapons. MMA is setup to suit boxers, grapplers and wrestlers. Aikido was developped through swordsmanship and is basically a descendent of jui-jitsu which swordsmen used whenever they were separated from their sword. So aikido works best against sword attacks and attacks where the attacker is fully committed in motion which is precisely what used to happen on the battlefields of samurais and shoguns. In a more modern sense, aikido is effective for bouncers, policemen and bodyguards who have to restrain individuals and quell dangerous situations quickly. So I dont know who you've been listening to but aikido is not useless. Like all martial arts, it has its ideal CONTEXT.
MMA is a sport with rules and a referee to stop the fight. Being good at the sport of mma doesn't mean they can beat everyone on the street. Try getting hit in the back of the head, eye strikes, throat strikes, etc. Not even counting if someone is armed or uses an improvised weapon. Plus in mma, they fight other people within the same weight class. On the street they can be fighting someone that is 50 to 100 pounds heavier and a lot stronger.
An untrained person would get destroyed by an MMA fighter. It's crazy to suggest someone one the streets would just be stronger than a professional athlete trained to fight. And while MMA has rules, they are not typical martial artists, they know how to do all the dirty stuff people do on the streets and more, they just don't use them to not kill each other. An MMA fighter in a street fight would kick you right in the liver so fast you won't be able to react, and you go down along with your extra 100 pounds.
There’s two aikidos - practical and traditional. Practical works in self defense: absolutely.
The practical comes from the traditional… The techniques are fantastic if you can find an energetic school thats more about intense training than the spiritual stuff
Respectfully I've never ever seen it work. I've watched a guy who took Karate for 20 years get blasted by a guy who had been Thai boxing only a few years.

This is because Aikido doesn’t actually work in competition. In competition there are rules, and the goal is to subdue the opponent.
Aikido in a real life scenario is meant to simply survive the situation, not to necessarily incapacitate the attacker.
Generally speaking, it will fail in competition. Because even if the Aikido practitioner were always successful, they would never actually incapacitate the opponent, and therefore never meet an end to the fight.
@@JoJoTheOtter That's a strange set of ideas.

The problem about people criticizing the art of Aikido is that, Aikido itself didn't even involve in competitions because it wasn't made to compete. It is plainly a discipline, and a form of defense. I am no martial arts expert nor practiced any of such. I did, however, used to spectate sessions on Aikido, Muay Thai, and TKD. And I'd say, aikido was totally different from any other disciplines. Don't mean to disrespect or discriminate, but that's why, most Aikido practitioners keep it more of a low profile because of how their Sensei would discipline them, other martial arts practitioners on the other hand, tend to show off what they can do. Just like these MMA guys who tend to talk trash just to sell fights, and even talk trash about their opponents' families, wives, fathers, etc. That's why MMA these days tend to focus more on entertainment, bad bloods, and all sorts if shit, rather than martial arts itself. These critics on the other hand are forcing things and compare Aikido to other disciplines. Just my one cent 🤷
You are not experienced enough in Aikido to know better. A Black Belt or Shodan, only means you have learned the basics and are ready to move forward in the arts. I mix 14 years of Shodokan Karate, 5 years of Boxing training, 10 years of summer school wrestling and many years of Aikido, from 1984. I am no master but found Aikido, once I became proficient, in the art of Aikido, completed my circle of fighting skills. Aikido has literally saved my life and the life of another.
Lmao you're a legit geriatric. No modern professional MMA fighter with any success has an akido background. Discipline and repetition of movements and conditioning are good things that akido teaches... But so does every other martial art. Or it should
How would you know more just from training that nonsense that doesn't actually test anything? That's his point. Go TEST it then come back to us with the video
I call bullcrap.
@@kornorstonepictures2333 you're about 75 years old so I won't hold it against you, your generation genuinely doesn't know better. There are no MMA fighters with an akido speciality. In fact there's this dude in China who goes around challenging the grandmasters of Akido, Wing Chun, Etc to no rule fights (short of 🥜 shots, head kicks, biting etc) and has literally embarrassed every single one.
He's not even a professionally MMA fighter and only started training later in life and still whooped them ALL.
The principles taught in akido, like discipline, repetition of movements, conditioning etc can all be good things... But those aren't only taught in akido and you'd have the added bonus of *actually* being able to fight 😂
@@McGeezle I agree with you and talk from experience, on and off the streets. I fought on the mat, in wrestling and martial arts competitions and only on the street as a boxer and proved highly proficient against most, on the street. I was attacked from the rear, punched, right behind my ear and hit the deck hard. He proceeded to punch and kick me. It was everything to keep my wits about me and block off, stand up and knock down this Tarzan looking maniac fool. He got right back up and started darting his punches at my face. I had to kick him in the mid section and do a dubble upper cut, into his eye and chin. He went down again but came up slower and I said. Nice Fight! Put my hand out he slapped it and I told him to go address his wounds. That really pissed him off. If you want to hear more about this story. Just say so. I have the police and DAs report.
As a street cop I have more documented fights than Steven Segal.
My dad from the age of 8 to 17 has more documented fights then Mike Tyson, that being said, Steven Seagal is a complete jackass.

I too am an Akido specialist and weapons mastery sensei; and I can say Joe is 100% right. Grappling is Akido's primary weakness. Also Seigal is crap at Akido. Just sayin'
Wow Seagal somehow has more hair now than when he was in his 30s.
Same with Musk: surgery and medicine.

Have you ever seen Steven’s knuckles? You judge him by watching this videos in which he trained his students. This is an exercise, not a real fight. I once seen him doing a rapid kick in a grappling situation. This man deserves more credit.
Those knuckles are definitely not from aikido. Actually the guy did few other martial arts as well, including karate.
in his 20-30 , yeah he was fast and strong but since 40+, he became a joke and fat and slow as sh*t, today he just use aikido art as an excuse to not move, his opponent are the one doing the gymnastic to make steven ''art'' credible

Sitting and running the mouth is called the Joe Rogan experience just for the record.😎🔔
Aikido was created long after the samurai had vanished... Joe Rogan speaking without knowing 😅
This guy has no Idea about Aikido at all!!! Aikido is the apex of Japanese Martial arts and it's not because it's so powerfull, but because the idea behind it! I don't know Steven Seagal may be he is the bed person or may be some powerfull people in Holliwood got mad on him, but he is definitely did a lot in aikido and for aikido! And he did for Aikido same that Bruce Lee did for Kung Fu years ago! And this is the fact!
Well said.
@@igorvaiman68 here here
@@billycooper4530 Thank you! I think what a generous Idea hed Morihei Ueshiba use energy of evil against evil! It's like energy recycling! Morihei Ueshiba prohibit fighting compitition in Aikido only show! because it's was a show of his creation! It's was a gift for all martial arts! Aikido is the basic potential of ability to manage the power of energy! (step one)
Steven Seagal did step number two he translated Aikido to the world and made us understand it!
I hope it's gonna expend more! may be someone is gonna do step three and continued! I'd love to see it!!!
@igorvaiman68 I only differ on my ethical background opinion based on this very slight description alternative. Instead of a recycling term, I like this even better, "energy reflected," as in a mirror. This is how Steven described it in an interview after his Martial Arts Hall of Fame induction in 2004 with votes over 20,000 martial artists of all genres globally! The read on a person's energy with ill intent is measured and reflected back to him, ranging from disputes to lethal intent. And the delivery must never be delayed, this leads to bigger problems. Alas, my view is generated on these spiritual principles,
1) Men will reap what they sow.
2) The person that rolls a stone on someone's head will have one rolled onto his.
3) Authorities should be feared only if your deeds are evil, for they do not bear arms for nothing. Good men have to fear nothing.
4) Those who live by the sword will die by the sword.
So my opinion is that these principles in bringing back peace and harmony to disturbed individuals is in itself a very good thing. To instigate war is evil, to stop war is good. That is the goal of real Aikidoku. Men who possess the capacity to stop warring at any level should be respected above all others. My personal spin was given in the end for a dramatic close.
Steven looks young I'm guessing about 30 in that 1st clip maybe a bit younger
And he's already on his balding way.
@@ajlukelepuke 😂😂😂😂😂😂
170 lb wrestler wouldn’t take down seagal down, he’s 6’6 n was a beast in his prime
In other words Akido will save your life in a street fight if applied correctly, while grabbing someone with a sword could be fatal.
All you need do then is both. The Akido for someone armed and the wrestling for a more civilised confrontation.
Horses for courses. Though Europeans love to shit on anything they never invented. Case in point boxing and wrestling. These can be very effective when applied by an expert. But most people are not an expert and are only given a nominal advantage with these skills way less than they want you to believe. Boxing and wrestling in it's current form are basically European. The only reason they attract superior fighters than karate or other non European martial arts is athletes follow the money. It is basically the opposite to how people like Joe Rogan describe it. It's a fact that if boxing and wrestling had no money behind them, and non European martial arts had a stack of money, boxing and wrestling would have the inferior athletes. And people would not be saying how effective they are but how basic and ineffective.
Reminds me of "once upon a time in Hollywood" where Rogans fellow Italian American Quintan Tarantino indulged his Eurocentrism and bias. He basically has Brad Pits character beating up "Bruce Lee". The reality is a washed up wife killing town drunk loser like that role played by Brad, would not last thirty seconds with the real Bruce Lee. And the actor playing him would just run if Bruce attacked him.
Aikido also required you to be an experienced blackbelt in another martial art. Modern aikido is completely disconnected from its origin
I would say the disconnection is real but your logic or idea of "modern aikido" is actually applies to a case by case or dojo by dojo basis. The lineage im from is real intense militaristic form. Mostly what we see is the trophy dojos, think of it as a sport and show/competition based, not practical in the streets.
@@Cr0w805aikido doesn’t do competition. They don’t have it, and they have pressure testing. Bring anyone who knows a sliver of bjj or wrestling to your gym and watch all your “black belts” get smashed. Bring a boxer too just to see how stupid yall sound about just grabbing their wrists.
You don’t see Joe challenging Steven at anytime, it’s laughable.
Seeing Steven getting destroyed is what would be laughable, Joe would wipe the floor with him.
@@joee7626 With you 100%. Rogan is a legit kickboxer, has legit BJJ, and still has a ton of power. Steven wouldn't have beaten him in his prime, unless maybe Rogan was wearing a full samurai armor to weigh him down.
He wouldn't challenge you, either. Why? Neither challenge would be worthwhile, because the outcome is a forgone conclusion: Joe standing over either of you in victory after an easy takedown.
Joe is talking nonsense, but he does train and would probably beat Steven Segal, especially now. In their prime, Segal obviously has a size advantage.
@mr-boo He is not a legit kickboxer. The only standup style he seriously trained was taekwondo. He's into BJJ and good because he's obsessed with it.
u actually believe an elderly overweight bad heart man can beat Rogan, who is trained in MMA all his life with the biggest fighters and schools. that tells us A LOT about how your brain works
Crazy how fans of goth boxing just dismiss martial arts with hundreds of years of history behind them
Goth boxing? 😂
Boxing paired with a grappling art like jujitsu does well in MMA.
@@DemiGod..Then Bruce Lee was absolutely right.
Aikido is barely 100 years old
...unlike boxing which is at least known since the ancient Greeks
those are demonstrations not actual fight , its designed for teaching. Go to japan and challenge an aikido master to see.
Muay thai and bjj are the only actual and practical martial arts, everything else is bs. A muay thai master would demolish any and every aikido master.
Bullshido master
@@gigabased4I would say muay Thai + judo/wrestling combo would be deadly as self defense. Also sambo.
I would take judo over bjj training every time. Bjj is nothing else but Katame-waza from judo taken and worked on.
@@gigabased4Aikido is BS, but other martial arts exist for a reason.
People have tried. The so-called masters refuse to engage or prove their martial art. They waffle on about how dangerous it is, or how its only meant to be used in self-defense.
If you know anything about martial arts, youd know this is suspicious as fuck. People from every field and discipline cream themselves over the opportunity to show off their mall-dojo karate school, or backyard wrestling MMA knock off. The martial arts community is passionate if nothing else.
Refusing to engage just sorta proves its a fraud.
Stephen Seagal is the fattest oldest most out of shape “action star” ever and he’s been that way for most of his career.
"most of his career" - that is if you consider the movies he's been making for the past few decades are a "career"
Steven is legit only in destroying economic resilience of buffet restaurants.
Many martial arts, but ESPECIALLY Akido and BJJ, absolutely require the other guy to play along.
It's like having a black belt in Tai Chi.
A black belt in origami
Hahahhahaa
I love Chai Tea
😂😂😂😂
Yeah, I mean. It's good against drunks. It's actually based on a philosophy of non-violence overcomming violence. Morihei Ueshiba taught absolute non-physical, non-violence in the end.
If you flick your wrist at your opponent and connect, and he does a backflip... it's not sparring or fighting, it's choreography.

Above the Lard, Under Fridge….Bullshido is da best!
steven seagal is out of his mind
he had some skills in his 30s now he's a fat wannabe
It’s extremely effective against an armed person,up close. Similar results with a person unarmed. Mixing it with other forms is key for most engagements.
OK there was no mixed martial arts until recent years. These fighters are athletes and train hard and have the benefit of experience. When ufc started it was just martial arts instructors from all around the usa testing their skills against similar opponents. They usually had only one discipline and their were NO WEIGHT CLASSES. Let that sink in. To compare Steven Segal against mma fighters is ridiculous. Now put young Steven Segal against a regular guy who thinks he's a badass and Steven would lock him up and snap his limbs. It's funny that Joe isn't comparing Bruce Lee to mma fighters etc. Learning any martial art is not "funzies" that's disrespectful of the original arts and the fact that mma is a derivative of them. Jesus
Joe just took the origin of Judo and replaced it with Aikido which was developed in the 1920s lol.
No.... He's right.
@@bennyknot no he isn't just Google origin or both for God's sake instead of doubling down on being wrong.
Judo was synthesized from another style of ju-jutsu about 30 years earlier than Aikido by Cano , to specifically be a sport, soo people wouldn’t get killed while practicing
@@jaymars3370no you're wrong
@@Duck_Dodgersnope; you are. He’s actually very right. They used an old form of jiu jitsu. People later made bjj or Brazilian jiu jitsu later on based on this.
Short guy complex, respect the Seagal.

The videos that they show Steven Segall “throwing” guys around isn’t really him “throwing them”. They are rolling in the direction of energy so they don’t get their bones broken during a demonstration. In real life a person who isn’t trained to go in the direction of what looks like a throw chooses to instead resists against it, they face the likelihood of getting that bone/joint/ligament getting severely damaged.
He's barely touching them in that video. Bullshido
That's only true if there was an actual throw. Steven Seagull merely stands there, flapping his arms, while his ukes toss themselves in the air. Yes, you need to know how to break fall, but that's about it, in this case.
Joe i have zero experience with a sword. Give me a sword and let Steven try to take it off me
Aikido is a Japanese martial art created by Morihei Ueshiba in the late 1920s. Why are we talking about samurais?! 🤔
If you know Aikido, you can disable 2-3 bullies in a street fight and run away safely...
lol
If you know aikido, you can be disabled by 1 bully in a street fight and get away in an ambulance
You mean 2 or 3 yrs old bullies?

Steven SEGAL is a fake
I have done aikido and just proceeded to the 2nd level belt only. The session is a repetitive practice, and a lot of people gave up because they got bored because it is almost the same movement. But the repetitive movement actually is training the body to move smoothly and fast.
I have managed to quickly dodge a sudden punch from a stranger and restrained him fast, which I was amazed.
Wrong: The Samurai society class was abolished 1868 and Akikido became popular in the 1950s.
Don't tell Little Joe that, he might cry.
Steven seagal would beat any of those guys if he is under siege and he would be hard to kill
Steven Seagal's greatest victory in life is his win over running like a normal human.
Once again, Joe proving why he shouldn't be on air by giving out false information.
So many of his fans are the most arrogantly wrong people I have ever met.
Fact: Steven Seagal broke James Bond's wrist to teach him a lesson about respect.
Fact: in one of his most recent films, he had 3 sex scenes in bed with his leather jacket and pants on.
Don’t cooperate and get your wrist broken. The amount of pressure on that wrist is too hard to handle. Modern day mma fighters have become too easily the superhero’s and that’s just not the case
Steven Seagal's greatest technique is to whisper mumble you into confusion.
Seagal is the baddest man on the planet in conjunction with being the true definition of a renaissance man, ayyyyyyeeeee 👍👍
He is a legit Seagull
Seagals secret Budo is his beta male stare. Terrifying.
Just as legit as steven. Yeah the samurai were using aikido in 1920😂😂😂. This guy joe needs to lay off the shrooms.
Steven Seagal was picking fights with Japanese Gangs when I was kid to sharpen his skills. I don’t think anyone would want to be in a ring with him without rules. Show me where he lost a fight. This guy is a legend, an anomaly like Bruce Lee and zero losses. Everyone has him confused with Van Damme.
Steven Segal is a legit madman
