I would love to see you interview or do a training video with Steven or both.
This channel is just getting better and better. I sincerely hope you can get Mr. Seagal on the show one day.
Agreed ! ... i wish i found out about it sooner.
Me too. I'm thinking it will be difficult. for whatever reason, I don't see Seagal doing a zoom interview lol
false
Life goes full circle and I am glad to see Steven FINALLY get his due respect. There are TONS of he did this and did that BS stories about him from people that HEARD something but never SAW something. Keep up the good work!
Your points about the aura you have when you're trained and prepared are spot on. I work construction, and you wouldn't believe how often guys (even older guys) want to intimidate people or bluff their superiority....the second they encounter true strength they crumble often before anything even gets physical.
True👍
Seagal is the real deal 👌
I first saw that punch to the knee against a kick being used in the movie "The Perfect Weapon" when Jeff Speakman came to Mako's rescue when he fought the Korean mafia thugs in the store.
Glad you mentioned Don Wilson's sidekick! I still go back and watch those old fights just to see him launch people with that killer sidekick!
I think Bill Wallace is most underrated with this method: side- and/or hook- and/or rounhose-kick etc. Similar with fists...
Bill is such an humble class guy he made it popular, if not invented sidekick based karate...?!
@@TerenceSpencerYT I agree with you. Bill "Superfoot" is one of the greatest kickers we've ever seen. Not only was he incredible technique-wise, he also made it work in the ring. And like you say, he's such an unassuming, classy guy. He's a great example of a true martial artist.
Oh man. How are you so wise, grounded & humble? Ur parents raised u right man I'll say that. Be blessed David.
Seagal has a number of top level students that all have a very strong reputation for practical street effective Aikido as well. Shows that he was a very good teacher. Larry Reynosa, Haruo Matsuoka, Ralph Angulo (Lenny Sly's teacher), Jaime Calderon, Gerrit Green, Craig Dunn, all came from Seagal lineage and all of them are now skilled masters in their own right.
Look up Seagal and Larry Reynosa Randori testing and see how much more ruthless and brutal it is compared to 90 percent of other Aikido branches out there.
good video. i hope one day you get a chance to interview Steven Seagal 🔥
Yeah, he kind of owns Viking Samurai a little favor because many people now know that LeBell and the stuntman community lied about it and David made it possible through his youtube channel.
Finding a master full of wisdom and knowledge is very rare and hard to do. So when you find one, dedicate yourself and try your best to learn as much as you can.
I liked how you went off on a tangent to describe similar experiences you have had in your life. It seems you probably still practice the basics you were taught at said times. Too bad circumstances in life change like moving elsewhere and such, but as a martial artist you've kept yourself on your path which is praiseworthy. I know firsthand martial arts isn't practiced to be praised, but at times acknowledging the progress made does come.
Yes you have to believe in yourself that is so true 👍
Also I really love the channel. I appreciate you objectively looking at everything and not throwing BS opinions based on nothing. Jesse, and yourself are two of the best content providers. I had to unsub a lot of the other clowns as all they do is attack martial artists for views and usually they are talking out of their ass. The Icy Dew Mclife Journey is a train of shit content I got off of. Keep providing the respectable well made videos man. Thumbs up.
"Icy Dew Mclife Journey" 🤣
That Hocus Pocus guy is a 8!+¢h! I've called him out many times and he even lied to Wolfman saying I never challenged him to a MMA Pride rules match when by that point it was like 10 times.
Next time he's in Portland, I'm stopping by with some witnesses to chat with him. 😂
Also, Icy is melting quick and good riddance when he does!
Steven Strangles People is one of those clowns
@@thenicestguy2748 But Steven is actually pretty funny, unlike a lot of the other channels.
As a former practitioner of TKD and an art that I began my martial art journey, you don't want to jump around in the streets for one, you will get tired. As an old saying goes, don't fight their fight. Plus, the front kick entry, you want to lock the leg which is a similarity of gedan barai variation (Down block with a scoop) and strike him to the face like you said VK. Hit him and leave, don't get into the ground game. As for the makiwara, Its a useful tool which we practice in my teachers dojo, but a good tool to work on your fist position and body mechanics. Part 2 of your video is solid VK and Seagal is a legit martial artist.
To build true confidence through knowledge in the mind, honesty in the heart, and strength in the body.
I think that Mr. Seagal is a legit aikidoka. Can't tell if he is just really charismatic but watching the original videos I was pretty much feeling like he was a for real martial artist, maybe a master. When it comes to his techniques my prejudices tell me that grappling is super important, however Iv'e had judo instructors tell me you don't want to end up on the ground especially in a battlefield/group fight your dead meat. I really enjoyed seeing Steven Seagal in these videos and want more. Also good reaction vid Viking Samurai!!!
Seagal is a Judo and Karate black belt as well.
My advice is try it. Get two or three people to attack you at the same time. Your prejudices will evaporate really quickly.
I mostly practice Wing Chun.. though Ive also cross trained in many other arts. A lot of artists think lowly of Kung Fu... and so when Id go to open house sparring events.. Id often get a lot of snickers, and outright disrespect. Well, one even was at a Jujitsu school. The students were being very disrespectful.. so I chose to use enough force in my strikes to KO. I dropped each one of their Blackbelt level fighters... one after another... from my mostly extended Lead guard hand. Less than 6" of travel, with a vertical fist to their foreheads. I used less than 20% of what I was capable of delivering, in those punches. I was also being extremely Kind.. by allowing them past my stomp kick to their kneecaps.
In real barefist combat situations... you dont have time to play around. You often have less than 1 second to dispatch an Attacker, before another attackers attack, is being launched at you.
Grappling has its uses, but.. its both the last range of combat.. as well as tends to be the most "Nice" of responses you can apply. If I can land a lethal strike from less than 8 inches of distance... Why would I bother with trying to set up, and follow through with a grappling situation? Grappling, however, is more applyable in various situations, such as if you are a Bouncer at a club (where its heavily frowned on, if not potentially illegal, to strike). Or for example... restraining a Drunken Uncle, thats gotten way out of control.
That said.. grappling can also be both devastating, and very useful in certain combat situations... such as tossing an OP into some other OPs.. to slow their advance.
Ohh, and since Ive spent some time giving advice about trying things... I also advise trying to spar someone with one arm, vs their two (excluding grappling, due to the disadvantage). Try both same-side arms.. and opposite-arm sides. Each will give you a unique experience in learning how advanced interceptions have to be applied. The extended arm, is similar to wielding a Fencing foil / Sword.
You will likely not be able to land a hit against the OP.. however.. if you know what you are doing.. you can prevent them from landing a single hit on you. This is one of the Demos I do, to show other sport artists like MMA fighters.. the differences between Combat and Sportized arts. To date.. none have been able to land a single hit on me, when doing that drill / demo.
@@AztecUnshaven No..he is NOT A JUDO/Kyokushin(the style of Karate he claims) BB. That is a demonstrable lie that is easily debunked. You are a Seagal fanboi ? Fine....but please stop spreading that garbage. It's diserpectful to everyone who has actually grinded for years to achieve those ranks.
@@johndough8115 "This is one of the Demos I do, to show other sport artists like MMA fighters.. the differences between Combat and Sportized arts."
@@thecollector6746 Ive sparred, heavy / full contact... against MMA fighter, and other Sport fighters Frequently. I used to participate in Open-House sparring events at various local schools.
I ended up getting plenty of connections from these events... and of course, one artists tends to know several other artists.. and so my Sparring Pool grew exponentially in a very short amount of time.
Eventually, I found a guy that had access to a room that had a full matted floor, and Me, Him, and maybe 15 other various martial artists of various styles.. would meet up every single weekend, to both cross train and spar. There were at least 15 artists there at any event... but on occasion, there were more.
Not only did I spar often.. But I also tended to Intentionally spar the Biggest, Strongest, and best fighters that I could find. Many of the guys I sparred, were often 2x my own mass and strength. I did this, to put my abilities to the Ultimate tests... to make sure that they would work properly, in a real Situation.
In a Barefist fight.. there are no Weight Classes. If the OP is bigger and stronger... you simply have to deal with the differences in Attributes. And if you have Never tested your skills at such a level.. you are NEVER going to be Prepared to deal with such an attacker, in a real barefist fight.
Furthermore.. the DEMOs I do with various artists.. are meant to show technical differences, without having to cause unnecessary injuries. Not only that.. but my Demos tend to be "Realistic", with proper strength and energy. Something that a lot of people do not realize.. is that for certain techs to operate Properly.. they REQUIRE the OP to put medium to heavy strength in. They Require serious Intent, and effort. Otherwise... its like trying to deal with a weak limp noodle... which does not create the proper mechanics.
An example is if a person throws a weak, non-committed punch. I could use an upwards deflection.. but if his arm is limp.. it wont effect them much. However.. if they throw a Heavy powered strike.. their body will be Unified and "Stiff"... so when my deflection occurs.. it will effect their entire body, and their stability... potentially lifting them backwards on only their heels. Similarly.. if I deflect a stiff arm horizontally.. it can cause the OPs entire torso to swing to the side... and might even cause a stability in their ground connection as well (depends on the level of stiffness, and the energy levels involved)
So, no... my Demos are not "Cooperation" nor "Hypnosis" events. I am a Combat artist, that has always sought the Highest level of TRUTH in real combat technology, and mastery. This includes hardcore training methods... such as full IRON BODY conditioning, that FAR exceeds the shallow version of shin conditioning seen in Muay Thai.
Im not one of these Weak, pansies, that operates in Fantasy. Ive trained longer and harder in a single week, than many artists train in 4 weeks. And I kept that level of training up for over 5yrs SOLID. Im talking a MINIMUM of 4hrs every day (typically a LOT more). 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
I totally agree and the crazy part is that you know I'm a full-grown adult but let me tell you those same dangers that existed when we were little kids those same dangers are still there they never really went away some of them changed someone got worse some of them got better and now there's also new ones but those same type of bullies and worse are still there so being a full-grown adult doesn't change anything the only thing that it changes is now you have more ramifications legally if you engage to defend yourself or earn respect against these dirtbags they're everywhere there at your job there on the street there in the stores in the bank's there in the courtrooms there in squad cars they are everywhere in hospitals everywhere you go you are engaging as far as like with your eyesight with potential bullies actual Belize killers and murderers and rapists and this whole situation is just scary and absolutely annoying
Seagal only met James Colburn in 1980 when Seagal returned from Osaka and opened Tenshin Dojo in Ventura.Colburn was an avid martial arts enthusiast and loved helping up and coming martial artists.He paid for Seagal's Ventura dojo and helped set him up....7 years after Bruce died....So ya,there's that part that he doesn't tell u....lol
Minor detail
@@VikingSamurai🤔... 🤷♂️
Dan Inosanto told that Seagal met him and Bruce in James Colburn in 1969...
Dude another awesome video. A lot of people hated on Steven Seagal for these videos. I’m glad I live to see it. Keep this content coming.
Steven Seagal is absolut legit!
He shows all the "50 shades" of mind set you should have as a martial artist!
To be present, aware, confident,... and so on.
For sure his Aikido is very street effictive, but with all the Aiki-Budo background spirutality...
Thing is there are a lot of good Aikijujutsu teachers doing very similar techniques who get labeled as fake and now that people are changing their tune on Seagal maybe people will open their mind to others. I've been doing most of the stuff he was talking about for 16 years. It's not new principles or new techniques. The problem is everyone lumped all aiki arts into aikikai Aikido and automatically discredited it.
I'm so tired of Steven Seagal getting so much hate thank you so much for your channel.
...because he hasn't consistently for the last 30 years giving everybody reasons to despise him?
You and Jesse should definitely do a Collab
You, sir, very often have the right words, at the right time in your videos!
I was just watching your video of part 1 waiting for the second one to come out! Your unique opinions combined with this unique interview has been a blast.
Seagal is legit. People don't want to admit it or they just don't know any better, but he could mess most people up
🤣🤣🤣🤣spoken like someone that's never been in an actual fight.
The average person on the street, sure. Pro fighters, not so much.
Bullshido is not legit mate
@@meaty220 You've never been in a fight, stop lying
@@sirdan357 Every pro fighter that has trained with Seagal said his skills are very legit. So should we believe their testimony, or should we believe some nerd in the comments section that's never trained with him?
Thanks! great review of Sensei Segal! He's got solid content, thanks to Jesse & Oliver & you for covering him!
Thanks for the support A Chaps!
I saw the full interview and there's a part where Seagal speaks about people who have challenged him to fight. Seagal said ok but no cameras, no money involved and no rules. No one accepted those terms.
Why no cameras? Seagal would be exposed lol
@@Rickai85 Maybe a fight with no rules is not for everybody.
@@Rickai85 Because "no cameras" means no liability or risk of getting sued after Seagal fucks them up. It's an old school closed door challenge thing that happened many times in both Gongfu and Karate schools in the old days. Sometimes people would get severely hospitalized.
@@AztecUnshaven Really? Sounds like a bunch of bullshido fantasy. Not documented means its simply a story. Seagal is a fantastic story teller :)
@@Rickai85 Feel free to visit Seagal's students to get a small taste of his real methods.
Segal is a sharp dude.
I train to do well in all leads. I was taught you need to fight ambidextrously from the beginning. Anything can happen and it will.
On your query at 2:06 - Oliver IS actually a professional fighter.
you always kill it with the content Viking
Those 2 video were a couple of the best I've seen in a long time and I love your reviews as well. Great job!
Steven Seagal has way more wisdom than people give him credit for. It really is a shame the dirt people have put on his name.
People make fun of him for his silly running. We martial artists make fun of him because he sucks and extremely arrogant. Did you notice how selfish he is and didn’t let Jesse do techniques on him.
@@markgothard7158 I did notice this. No one is perfect unfortunately but the man is skilled in his particular area of expertise.
@@mattmorrison9379 cheers
Yeah he is awesome martial artist when a guy is standing there doing nothing lol. Or maybe he should get his students to bumb for him like they are WWE jobbers while he moves around slower than a sloth while performing his moves. I'm sorry but I'm sure he is a legend in his own mind and an above average martial artists. But no one has ever seen him in a real fight. He has never entered a single tournament. I have met some blowhard's in my MMA training, but this guy takes the cake. He talks about himself throughout both videos. I'm sorry I wouldn't be so critical of him if he was such a blowhard about himself and a creep towards woman and the lies after lies he has claimed that have been proven false. Hey, he is a master at fake it till you make it!
@@chrisyanover1777 Great job Chris. Also that makiwara he brought and signed is lame.
Really good breakdown! Great episode! Keep it up
Great post keep them coming
That was another incredible video Samurai, thank you 🙏
Another great video! Thanks for sharing this!
We don't have to forget his age now. And he is still good. Now think, how good he was in his Prime 👌👌👌
Most accurate analysis
Whoa !! Viking you are tearing it!! Good stuff from sensei Seagal
Great video breakdown. Thank you! Keep up the great work on your videos :)
My instructor used call putting the foot on foot position..... Nailing him to the Cross.
I think the lesson to be learned is you can learn something useful from many people if they have experience and know their art. If everyone stopped trying to discredit each other the martial arts would be a healthier community.
BINGO.
👍😁👍
👏👏👏
Great video dude keep up the good work!
Great Video. Thanks
Another aewsome video, Viking!! Informative, entertaining but also mind opening👏💪👍
Thank you for always being a stand up guy Viking 🙏🏿👍🏾🙌🏾
One of the philosophies in Ninjutsu is attacking the weapon... I saw in a movie from the early 90's where the Hero used a Phoenix knuckle strike to the instep of the foot from the Antagonist kicking a Roundhouse to the head , obviously an advanced move ! lol
We need a conversation with Steven Seagal himself, and it doesn't matter what people say about him, even if some of it is true. He's the only one like Jackie Chan. All people have their skeletons, and everyone has the right to correct mistakes.
I got a makiwara at New Hope martial arts supply in NYC. Been using it every day since I got it.
Great job Viking
I really liked the part when Seagal talks about not bouncing. and how he moves. The Chung Do Kwan TKD school I trained at, my instructor didn't necessarily train us to bounce on our feet, but more in general not to stay still. BUT...the foot movements Seagal talked about, we trained in using those. Doing slides and skips with both the front and back foot in all four directions. The foot that is doing the skipping or sliding is barely lifted off the ground or not much in the same way Seagal moves his foot. The best example I can think of to help someone visualize it is the gym scene in The Perfect Weapon, when Jeff Speakman is fighting the first TKD guy played by James Lew. Speakman does 2 round kicks and one front kick to Lew (it could be another round kick; Here's a link to clip of that scene.
ruclips.net/video/XNdB5BD9cMY/видео.html
It's also interesting because in some of the Chung Do Kwan forms, there is a foot slide movement to certain blocks and hand techniques. Now, did I use the foot slide/skip in class when sparring? Not really. And when I did, I never used it with a high kick. Even though I could kick high, I never used high kicks because outside of one student who was taller than me, I was taller than everyone else in my class. So with the reach I have with my legs, I could tag anyone anywhere and still have distance on my side that they couldn't reach me.
It's interesting because when I started WTF TKD I tried doing the bouncing on my feet when sparring, but it didn't take hold, as far as constantly bouncing when sparring. I was able to use it along with how I sparred at the Chung Do Kwan school.
Seagal is a Magnificent Martial Artist but his health concerns me. He looks like he get winded alot because of his weight. Great Episode my friend.
Yes, this video has me a bit concerned about his health as well. He seemed to frequently need to sit down and cool down with that small fan after a fairly small amount of activity. I hope he begins to take better care of himself. He still has a lot to offer the martial arts community.
Keep in mind he's 70 years old.
Great Chanel
Like the channel would to see more training vids and how u stay in shape cheers
I know people won't care but my 2 instructors did a small role in chuck norris,sidekicks got a picture of him at our school,they even sparred with him off set
Stepping on the foot is a aikido technique. O Sensei is shown doing this in the old videos .
Steven Seagal is legit
I knew you'd do a video on this. Another example of Seagal being a legit Martial Artist. Sick of these Bozos that have channels that constantly bash him and make fun of him, none of them would tell Seagal shit to his face, let alone challenge him to fight. You Always have great and fair balanced videos Viking Samurai. 🙏🔊❤️🥋💥
Exactly! There's a particular youtuber named Hocus Pocus who's been dodging a MMA match Pride rules with me because he talks very arrogantly about a lot of martial arts because his style didn't give him a sense of protection and I say it's because he chose a way of training that was more in line with ballet than taking care of one's self but he joined the fad of the gym and a coach and threw out the dojo and teacher but in my opinion, I don't think he would be able to do anything good that has to do with fighting and should hang it up because I think he's dangerous where if he learns something, I think he would hurt weaker people than him to feel strong. I get that sense that he lives in a fantasy world.
@@gqloc6768 I miss the Pride FC. So you want to fight someone named Hocus-pocus? Lol what's that about?, yeah it's funny how so many people think Seagal can't do anything and yet there's quite a few who really like to get his input and work on techniques with him. You'd think with all the UFC events Seagal has been to one of these MMA guys would've and had the opportunity to call him full of shit to his face. But DC, Machida, Silva, Rockhold all had respect for him. Rockhold said Seagal almost broke his wrist. Now if Rockhold was an average Joe I'd say ok he's being a egotistical dick but since Rockhold is a trained fighter I wouldn't say Seagal was trying to pick on someone weaker then him. Maybe Luke was resisting or testing Seagal and Seagal wanted to check Rockhold with that shit. Lol now that I can see happening. 🤷♂️🤣
Judo gene Labell
@@markgothard7158 you mean Gene Lebell. Yeah the choke out tale didn't happen. Look it up on previous Viking Samurai's videos.
@@rnkmode1876 Hi I do believe the story. Gene Labelle is a true martial artist in that everything he did was pressure tested. I don’t believe Aikido works on another trained martial artist. Plus Stevens ego is huge and wouldn’t want to admit defeat. George Dillmans pressure point system doesn’t work either.
In the early mid 2000's I met this guy at a coffee shop I frequented .. he had dragon tattoos on his arms so I asked about them. Long story short , he went by "Black Belt Loui" .. he would twist me up just like Segal is doing to these guys out in the coffee shop parking lot. I even went and assisted him in a self defense lesson at a gym one time so he could throw me around and try and impress middle aged woman. It got kinda awkward. Anyway .. great stuff as always VS!
Guess, after all that shit that everyone has been throwing about Stevie now it will be his time for RUclips 😉. Anyway, I'm sure that no one who has been talking shit about him would have the courage to confront him in a fight even now when he is not in his best shape. The man is what he is and nothing more. Thanks for the video V.S. and for your dedication to this!
Who seen Steven seagal path beyond thought documentary? Him training students
Where Seagal mention about not bouncing around in the streets is true. Always move side to side and use angles and never ever do loop punches but follow through from the center. That where the Karate straight punch is so effective. People joke on Seagal but they don’t know he holds 3 black belts. He’s not a person to trifle with even at his advantage age.
Trifle?
Yes, don't feed *SS* trifle.
Maybe offer him a stick of celery instead.
I know seagal gets a lot of hate but he certainly does have a high martial arts IQ he understands the fundamentals and concepts behind it all
We did the old school finger boards and ankle and rist weights so that u end up lighter on your feet
Sure. Everyone remains static so people can grab their hands and fingers, step in to stand on their feet....c'mon. There were so many inadequacies pointed out in the numerous "breakdowns" of this by other martial artists of what is depicted herein.
I think the one thing that can be said with respect to all opinions out there that there are probably not many men in the world who can do those aikido or aikijujutsu clinch grappling techniques better than him; whether it be due to his experience, talent, size or a combination of them all and we can bring up his lack of competition expertise or other lack of evidence but at the very least Seagal has not been badly exposed in public yet, which is consistent with his confidence deriving from real achievements even if the techniques have a low probability of working in a real altercation. So in so far as it comes to the mastery of those techniques he's right up there with the very best and if the techniques don't really work it's not really his fault but the fault of the art itself.
As an analogue, in the early days of the high jump (track and field event) people used the scissoring technique, which has been completely abandoned today. Men were able to clear a height of 6'3 at least with that technique. Nowadays they use a technique called the Fosbury flop, which is considered far more effective. It still does not take away the fact that the man and women of the old days were able to clear the bar using the scissors technique and overcome heights that most people could not do with far more economic technique. The technique in the early days may have been relatively inefficient but if you worked hard on it and had the right talent you could beat most people in high jump with it. I think this applies to kempo karate, aikido, aikijujutsu, wing chun etc. which are all antiquated arts or arts based on sketchy ancient philosophy despite their modern origin. Of course fighting is more complicated than the high jump. Something like BJJ, TKD or boxing may have, by far, the best technique for dominating one isolated range of fighting but to say that BJJ, TKD or boxing alone makes you a master of fighting would kind of be akin to saying that mastering the Fosbury flop in the high jump makes you the perfect decathlete.
That kick would remove you from reality.
I very lucky even though I started late in this art called toshindo to find a teacher under stephen k Hayes and him to operate a dojo and have consent from anshu Stephen k Hayes for my teacher akidoshi Dale Hesketh 4th degree to open up a school and be the only one in the UK to learn under him . also like many others I was blown away by steven seagal as a kid and to this day I'm still learning progressing and having the mentality of a whitebelt so I'm always learning and I will never say I know this technique and that and become lazy .
So cool to see this side of Steven Seagal. Still would love to see what a Seagals version of Bloodsport would be like.
Ur best teacher is YOU. Why I love Jeet Kune Do. Never leave it to one teacher. U can tailor make ur style. Since it emphasizes ur offense to be ur defense, u must speed up ur mind. Shaolin would tell u why they kick so good: THEY DO IT MORE THAN ANYONE. REPETITION......
Great
These are really great videos! I especially love the ones where you interviewed Steven Lambert and Conrad Palmisano to debunk Steven Seagal defecating himself by being choked out by Gene Lebelle. There is another one out there that has been going around for years too that it would be cool if you got to the bottom of: it's the one where supposedly Van Damme challenged Seagal to a fight at Sylvester Stallones's party and Seagal "wanted none of it" according to Stallone, and fled to where Van Damme tracked him down again at a Miami nightclub to try again to "kick his ass" and again Seagal "backed down". I don't believe it for a second. I don't believe Seagal would ever back down from Van Damme under normal conditions, but if he did it would be because of his martial arts discipline not to get involved in unnecessary street fights, or something along those lines. I like Van Damme too, am also a fan of his, but Van Damme himself said this happened, and I think there's more to the whole thing or the story got all twisted like the Gene Lebelle incident. Keep up the great videos, and I really appreciate your perspectives on not just the content you're presenting but your views on life itself!
@VikingSamurai, I've been following you a long time. Enjoy your personality y content. Respect you brother.
I actively trained fighting arts since age 4 til my 40s , competed in boxing y grappling in U.S. Army, taught combatives, worked night club security and survived 14 calendars as an unaffiliated prisoner in gladiator school.
Let me share with you, "just punching them in the face" is not as effective as one may think in self defense.
Many predatory men can eat punches , especially if their bones structure is larger than your own, and quite often a punch to the face only shoots up their adrenaline , gives them a massive adrenaline dump, now you've activated them , making them much stronger, feeling no pain by flooding them with more adrenaline with a punch to the face.
Body shots, neck strikes, joint locks, submission joint breaking and strangle holds/choke holds don't flood them with adrenaline in the same way as a punch to the face.

Thanks for sharing
Everyone has different GTA’S. Gifts, Talents and Abilities 😎
True.my instructor the same. You'd be training with someone and cant feel anything and then he comes and 2 seconds you feel it,instantly.
You gotta remember Steven seagal is much taller and has better range then the average person. So alot of his moves only work because of his range and height advantage.
Whatever the martial art or system used, for each technique there is a defense and or a counterattack, whether in combat or on the street, you only do what your opponent(s) lets you do.
not to mention the feints or simulations of techniques.
in a fight it's even easier because you have the opportunity to study your opponent, on the street that doesn't happen. on the street is what it is, it's like a kick from Feitosa
I have effectively used a hip block because it typically injures the attacker and is quick.
My makiwara is the floor or any hard surface like an i-beam...

Hi Viking, I’ve been doing all kinds of martial arts since 1980. We always knew Aikido was like a dance and ineffective. I had about three years in Japanese juJitsu in 1995. We trained with the Aikido dojo that shared our space on opposite days. I ran through them like children. Nothing they did worked and I would easily escape their wrist locks and arm lock them. I’m writing this to let you know aikido doesn’t work against other grapplers.
George Dillman sucks too.
Therefore, because of a punctual experience you had 30 years ago with a particular group of Aikido you see yourself qualified to generalize that all Aikido, including all its instructors and practitioners of Aikido with all its lines, schools and methodologies of practice are useless and completely ineffective? Is that so? Interesting...
Could you tell us the name of that Aikido School or its Sensei in order to have more information? Thanks!
@@markushill9587 Hi Marcus, Yes. It was common knowledge in the 1990s that aikido was ineffective on its own. However the founder Morihi ushiba was a great martial artist. He began to water it down post ww2 until it became what it is. Lastly it does have things to offer once you already know how to fight. Take care Markus.
I would say Segal is a purist of every since of the word when it comes to traditional Japanese martial arts practitioner In a lot of ways.
He is definitely old school, not to many people can say he ran a dojo in Japan in one of their traditional art forms.
Those kinds of things at least in Japanese culture is kind of unheard of. They are partial to traditional in a cultural sense. And must've had made a big impact in a lot of ways for that to happen(and a lot of time and effort). Definitely nothing to look past by any means.

When will you be interviewing Sensei Steven Segal?
The key to the kick defense is the opponent brings the target to you, you don’t have to reach for it. The harder they kick, the better it works. They essentially damage themselves. I prefer to use my elbow for the strike, keeping my hands free to do other things
I hope one of your content you will interview Steven Seagal and he will teach ypu some technique just like Jessie do.
See you Stephen. My Aikido teacher did the kicking technique against me. He had heard of my kicks and I was talking smack. The key to avoiding kicks is LATERAL movements. My teacher used to throw tennis balls at us with only sideways moves allowed. U can roll with the kick; or jam it. Before the leg of the kick extends close the gap...SIMPLICITY AND BASICS ALWAYS WINS
A few Notes: 1) Lees sidekick was not a result of superior genetics. He used to train this kick on a custom made heavy bag that was 4 foot in diameter.. and weighed over 400 lbs. That was in addition to throwing 2000 kicks every single day... according to whats been said. Lee was born with one leg being shorter than the other.. and I believe he only had one Testicle. I think I read his vision was not that good either. Anyway... the point is that most Attributes can be developed. A baby is not born to walk right out of the womb. Everyone starts out with nothing.. and builds to something. The more time and energy you put into certain developments... the more likely you will be at Appearing to be a "Natural".. or "Supernatural".
2) Bouncing: If you are mid-air when the OP clashes with you... you have no ground support strength and structure. Furthermore.. if someone times things well... they can catch you mid hop, so that you cant move out of the way in time. Not only do you lose power in your strikes, and lose stability... but you are also expending way too much energy in the process. That fatigue will cause your kicks power, speed, and accuracy, to suffer greatly.
3) The Makiwara: Is not a bad training device. However, I do highly recommend getting a canvas wall bag, and packing it solid with coarse grain beach sand (NEVER use play-sand. It creates fine dust clouds, that can cause cancer when breathed into the lungs). The sand is just soft enough that it will conform to the shape of your knuckles... but then it will become hard as a rock. This will prevent damage to the knuckles shape.. but still develop a high density "Iron-Fist". Not only that.. but since the wall its mounted to isnt going to move.. the impact forces challenge your entire internal structure... from fist to feet. You cant get that from a Flexible, moving, soft...target.. such as a heavy bag. The makiwara is similar to a wallbag.. but it can cause flattening to the knuckles.
4) I personally use Toe Stabbing kicks often. One has to condition the toes well, so that they will not break. The kick is very non telegraphic.. and can be chained into multiple strikes, similar to Snake style finger strikes. I often target the inner thigh muscle, the inner hip fold, groin, abdomen, and could be used on the throat / chin.
In addition... most kickers fail to land, because they are throwing their kicks from way too far away. If you throw a front kick from less than 2ft away... the OP will likely not even SEE it in their vision. And.. since its so close... the penetration depth you get... will be tremendous. It can easily launch an OP many feet away from where they stood... if one choses to use it more as a push vs an Impact kick.
5) As an artists of 28 yrs, in various artforms.. I can visually tell that Seagal has Masterclass level output / skills. This is a real rarity in todays modern Era. Many artists and casual observers cant visually tell the difference. Its only when you FEEL it... do such people realize that there is a Monolithic difference.
6) Its not just about finding the right teacher. All teachers have something of value to teach. The main thing that makes the difference... is training at your full capabilities / intensity... and the amount of hours / reps (work). You must train inside of class... as well as Outside of classes. You should fully master each and every technique, to the maximum potentials that your body is capable of. This is especially most critical, of the very basic Foundations of your arts techs. For if you have a shaky base... anything built on top of it.. will likely crumble and fail, under any bit of stress and strain. I used to train a minimum of 4hrs every day... 365 days a year... and didnt ease up until about my 5th year. The path to Masterclass level potentials, takes a serious amount of dedication, and sacrifice. Nothing of serious Value, comes easy... and there are no real Shortcuts, to greatness.
7) As for Spirituality in the arts... In general, it merely means having good morals and ethics. Other than that... there are special slow moving forms, such as seen in arts like Tai Chi, Qigong, Falun Gong, etc.. that are designed to both create a moving meditation (discipline and silence of the mind), as well as actual physical healing / renewal. It can also often lead to feelings of Euphoria (Nirvana) / a deep connection to the Universe (G0D). Though, some of the deepest mental and spiritual development comes from static (laying or sitting) meditation practices. Also.. the use of deep yogic breathing exercises.. also enhance both physical power output levels.. as well as your bodies superior enhanced physical abilities.. such as increased circulation, iron body tissue swelling, greater lung capacity, and higher overall O2 levels.. down to the cellular levels.
Can get a interview with Jeff Speakman The Perfect Weapon
He's interviewed him.
I always tell friends you must believe in yourself. Whatever you believe you need to remember what Musashi said about respect for Gods and Buddas but not relaying on them. You must rely on your gifts given from God/Nature/Universe. Kinda the world view of Conan(in books) and his relationship with Crom.
I genuinely believe that someone with a great foundation in the combat sports and MMA would get a lot from Seagal both tactically and philosophically. Anderson Silva and Lyoto Machida both knocked out opponents with a front kick they claim Seagal taught them (there's video of it that can be easily found on RUclips!), and it's the same front kick Seagal showed Jesse and his brother in their video. Seagal definitely has a history of spewing BS about his life (I know someone personally who has a Seagal story where he did a bit of fibbing, but I will not share the details publicly; she did say that he was very nice to her though), but his knowledge of martial arts, especially traditional arts, is worthy of everyone's respect. Would Seagal be able to handle himself against an elite grappler or MMA fighter? I doubt we'll ever get to see him go head to head with one, but I genuinely think that, if he got a hold of your one of your limbs, he'd put you in some very serious pain very quickly, no matter who you are. I think his brand of aikido could still be very useful for the modern combat sports-based fighter in a self-defense situation, especially for pain compliance. BJJ black belt Roy Dean has a background in aikido and has integrated it into his BJJ. Worth checking out.
I'll give you a tip. Real combat skills is everything and Bruce Lee meant that when he said to be like water.
I naturally understood standing and ground (and everything in between later) as a young kid fighting all the time before I started learning what I know today and I lived in an area that was rough and one had to be tough or somewhat used to the environment and would fight if they had to and that's how one got along and this was the 80s and 90s and it never stopped as an adult to the present. In fact just 8 months ago one day after the other, two guys gave me a hard time for no reason and one was around my age just a little younger and the other a Gen Z Oscar Meyer and I left both on the ground traveling back in time that I'm sure they woke up thinking they were their great great grandfather.

Catching a mae geri as Seagal teaches I have used thousands of time , very effective. To evade the kick all you need to do is rotate you body and if Mae Giri is aimed at centre of mass you have already avoided the power of the kick and in perfect position to catch the kick.
With the mawahI Geri I have also used a strike thousands of times , but instead of using a strike to the knee as Seagal uses I use a Boshi-Ken strike to the inner thigh. Extremely effective and disabling
Thousands of times in Full Contact Kickboxing or MMA Sparring? Footage???
@@DanTheWolfman … I am 67 years old my friend so in my younger days cameras where not as prevalent as they are today. I worked most of my life in close personal protection/ bodyguard work as well as concerts and security. My experience in the street in real world experiences, particularly in the late 70’s and early 80’s when martial arts was in its boom days and every man and his dog thought they where martial arts experts.
I encourage you to practice these techniques and give them a go for yourself….for me they have been very effective, they may well work for you too.
BB King said that Steven Seagal was a great musician
very good guitar player.
Is that for real? On Vid? BB King and John Lee Hooker are my favs...
@@DanTheWolfman Dear Dan, watch this: From minute 2 to minute 2:10. B.B. King introducing Seagal by saying: one of the great actors😁. ruclips.net/video/KwJnTqjMxKw/видео.html
@The Crazy Amateur Runner what?
Would love to hear your goals outside of your channel, Viking. That would be fab. Do you go to the gym in a morning or evening? I go every morning at roughly the same time which is literally 1min from my house. When I get back after spending an 1.45mins there; it seems like the rest of the day just accelerates and the next minute I know am getting ready for bed again. I can't seem to slow the day down. Ha
I'm an evening gym guy, after work... Usually combine the stretching, martial arts and weights all in 1 session.
Thumbs up.
This is what Frank Dux is not. Seagal can show us and not just tell us. Only the haters can watch this and not admit the man has a high level skillset of legit dangerous techniques. Not saying he'd go in and win an amateur wrestling match or a boxing match or whatever in his prime against an elite opponent in their own rule set, but he'd quickly hurt most people badly in a street fight.
@The Crazy Amateur Runner except no. Have a look for yourself. One of these is not like the other. Dux shows a tiny bit of "techniques" in a long video here and it's all in super slow motion. If you're being honest with yourself you should be able to see the difference. ruclips.net/video/gfbOIPsspk4/видео.html
