He is an unregulated fighter like Bruce lee once said when a fighter comes to fight you he comes with the intent to kill you so kill him first. fighting is not about respect. fighting is about doing whatever to take you down even if it means bitting. Fighting is about getting your opponent out of his comfort zone but at the end of the day he will still kick butt. So give him some props
He was a legitimate bad ass, many years ago! He allowed himself to get grossly out of shape. Seagal needs to loose weight and go back to making enjoyable action movies.
not everyone on the street is a pro mma fighter/bjj black belt, you'd be surprised just how many people do not know how to fight, aikido is not for fighting other pro fighters, it's for self defence. The question you should be asking, is could seagal defend himself if he were attacked on the street, and not by some pro fighter. No one is saying he wouldn't get hit, and not all aikido techniques work well for real, but those that do work, you can bet seagal knows them. I'm not on the bandwagon of hate, seagal has inspired millions to get into martial arts and online bullies are just rot.
@@playthroughcinema After having studied Aikido for a number of years, I would say the large majority of the syllabus (at least 95%, and that's being generous) is mostly useless as a method of self defence. This isn't helped in the way that it is mirrored by the techniques being practiced against unrealistic attacks (I can only understand that a compliant partner is to enable Tori to practice the technique and the Uke to avoid injury). It looks to me that Segal practices Yoshinkan, as his technique seams to be very direct. He's clearly very good at it (I personally can't stand the guy, but can only judge him on his martial arts here and not on his flawed character). My advice to anybody seeking a self defence system would be to avoid Aikido altogether, as this is wasted training time that could be better invested in a more effective system.
@@nelsonhibbert5267 Yh I mean I know people view him as arrogant, egotistical etc. but let's be real here... in his prime is he got into a fight with the average joe, 9 times out of 10 he's gonna fk that guy up one way or the other. I mean would you grab him?
He is simply incredible, after watching more and more of his videos like this and listening to him speak, I am growing more and more respectful of the martial arts and of people like him everyday
I have personally trained with a few aikido black belts, and if you don't let your body flip and fly like this your shit is getting broke!! One of these men actually held government contract's and trained certain speacial forces for more than one country. He was so fast and smooth he made it look effortless, trust me it's one hell of an art to defend against
I'm impressed with the speed and skill of the little Japanese guys in dresses diving, twisting and flipping themselves over at the mere thought that someone might touch them. Aikido is certainly the most skilled of all martial arts when it comes to flipping yourself onto the ground and lying there as if you are in pain.
I'm sure Aikido isn't really effective in real life, would be nice to see a UFC fight with a fighter that only knows aikido, this way we can see how it faires against another martial art. But my reason for the comment, I think they flip in purpose because otherwise you could get your arms broken and twisted. I looked at the video and some of the moves they have to flip, otherwise it would break their arm.

He just got old and unfortunately started believing his own hype and even more unfortunate started behaving poorly but he is the real deal in aikido that can never be taken away from him
-Wrist locks works my friend (not in all scenarios of course) but works. And is not only Aikido, but a lot of martial arts and self defense systems (like Krav Maga, BJJ, etc) have wrist locks. Of course, you can't base all your martial skills only on that (you need to know how to proper puch, kick, fight in the ground, etc) in order to be a complete fighter, but wrist locks works (in certain scenarios, as ground fighting tecniques doesn't work in all scenarios) and Aikido specialized in wrist locks. It's like Wrestling: it doesn't teach you how to punch and how to kick, it only specialized in projection techniques, but I don't see people complaining about that. -The "3 guys run at you" is just an exercise. It's good to improve foot work, self autolocation, and to learn how to be focused in all that surround you, not missing what happen behind and around you. Of course in real life scenarios,the attacking gang won't attack you like in pre staged Aikido exercises, but the skills you gained before in the Aikido dojo, are good and you can complement them with other things. I practiced Aikido for 5 years and it helped me a lot. In one situation 4 guys try to hurt me and I used this skills (footwork, repositioning, peripheral vision etc) to evade being surrounded,wrist locked one guy (kotegaeshi), punch another guy (basic Aikido atemi), tus creating a gap and run the hell out looking for help. Maybe if I have to fight in an 1vs1 with these guys, Aikido woldn't be enough and they would beat me like a sand bag, but Aikido give me the skills not to be a "Rambo" or a "Steaven Seagal main protagonist", but to create a gap and run away. By the way, forgive me if I typed something wrong, english is not my mother tongue.
@@akumabakemono1447 I have nothing against wrist LOCKS because those are painful. But a wrist throw ain't a thing. Somebody grabs my wrist and I'm going to punch them in the face. It takes two hands for a good wrist lock. Good luck protecting your head why trying to bend my wrist a bit lol
Justin Holmes I’m surprised nobody has explained this to you yet. Yeah the running straight ahead thing is absurd, but the flipping... If these guys DON’T flip, their joints will get broken. These students are trained to do this to avoid having something snapped. Simple as that. Seagal is doing these techniques with speed and power. Try to remain stationary while a strong lock is applied to your joints will result in an injury. Students can’t learn shit if their always getting injured, hence, the flips to avoid something snapping.
Have a look at other 'masters' online, doing demos, etc. etc. Steven Seagal is the only Aikidoka I have seen that applies strength and power to his technique yet appears more graceful than anyone I have seen. People might give him slack for being overweight now, and being a has-been, but man oh man he is the best aikidoka I have ever seen anywhere. My hat off to SS.

The comment section truly need help. I've never seen group of sheep this bad feeding the world's worst actor's ego. If this isn't trolling, his is beyond depressing to see them get manipulated so easily 🤣😞
I used Aikido many times in a real life situation, while working as a cop , and I can say aikido is 100% real, and works in real life application. I've used it against knife attacks, real attacks on the sides of the road, and against 3 people at once. and I can say that aikido is one of the reasons I made it home. so knock if you want to. but I can say for sure I'm happy to be a 2 Dan in it and was a able to use it when needed.
Aikido and Hapkido come from the same roots in Japanese jujitsu and have much in common, despite the fact that Aikido is from Japan and Hapkido is Korean. The Korean peninsula was under Japanese military occupation from 1910-1945, and during that time, martial artists from both cultures freely intermixed and influenced one another. Upon learning the Japanese arts, the Koreans who founded Hapkido integrated their own methods, borrowing freely not only from such arts as Tae Kwon Do and Tang Soo Do but Chinese traditions as well. As a second dan black belt in hapkido, I have had the pleasure of training with many practioners of aikido over the years and they are always a pleasure to work with. There are many valid and time-tested martial arts traditions; choose one which suits you and your needs. Make sure you are doing something you find enjoyable and challenging and with people you like - because attaining mastery takes many hours of hard training, disciplined study and devotion. Learn from anyone you can - and have an open mind. It is humbling when one realizes that the very best martial artists in the world - people at the very pinnacle of their art - still do not feel themselves complete as martial artists or people; they are always striving to improve themselves, learn something new and help others along the way.
This video is fantastic to watch. The man the master the best of the best. I would love to be able to do things like him. But a last I feel that I am to old at 67years old. If I had my time over again I would certainly train myself to Steven Seagal's methods. Now I get great pleasure in watching his videos of martial arts. His singing and his gift as a musician as well. I would love to meet him I person before I die. I love is films as soon as they are released I will buy them. They are worth w
Aikido is one of the most impressive forms of martial arts in my honest opinion. Using someones own momentum against them, and controlling their body completely with the use of locking joints
It is well known that there are people who can beat Steven Seagal today. In his youth he was a beast. Rare are the people who having opened a dojo in Japan, be a 7th Dan in Aikido, actor, producer, screenwriter, director, American singer and musician. Think about it.
The taiko drum inspired music that starts at about 6:05 is called "Drum Battle" by Tommy Coster. this clip is from a DVD produced by Seagal called "The Path Beyond Thought"
Sensei Gozo Shioda has said that Atemis (strikes) make up over 50% of Aikido. That's why in Yoshinkan an Atemi is given before initiating the technique. So instead of trying to grab someone's hand during a fight, it's a good idea to learn how to strike and move. That way, when someone grabs your wrist or body, you can apply your aikido technique. I'd also recommend Judo for physical strength. A good aikido practitioner must be physically strong (judo) and know how to throw a punch (boxing).
Great fighting style. For those who think its fake because the throws look strange, Just remember these guys are also trained how to land without breaking their bodies. If just one of these Aikido moves are applied correctly without you falling right it's likely your arm, or skull would crack. These guys are practicing. and don't want their bodies destroyed demonstrating how 1 proper Aikido move, could obliterate your opponent.
Hahahaha, break your skull on those mats? They aren't being thrown, they are throwing themselves, in a real fight as he is turning your wrist you can punch him in his undefended jaw, even if he breaks it, he's laying on the ground and you can stomp him out. I've seen this shit up close. I went to Aikido classes at 18 and could easily smash Everyone there including the instructor with my boxing and I was no champion boxer. They also have no defense against low kicks or takedowns. They have a wristlock, that's it. A whole bunch of fancy setups for a wristlock. It takes a few hours to really get it down, then you have learned all you need from Aikido.
@@mateosmind751 You did this out of Japan. In there you will be fractured for sure. Aikido techniques come from Aiki- jujitsu and works from thousand years. You visited a weake dojo.
It is 100% legit. Aikido is a traditional form of martial arts in Japan, and operates by using a persons momentum and body weight against them. I thought Steven Seagal was a fake until I became friends with someone who was a black belt in Aikido who assured me he is the real deal. If you watch the video carefully, what he is doing in most of the throws is using a wrist lock to stop the person and make their upper body go the way he wants, while their lower body is still moving in the original direction, and then he flips them around their center of gravity.
EcnalKcin but a true fighter doesnt run straight to us like this. He will use forms, styles, and many fighting tactics and put us in traps before he strike us hard then end the match. A real fighter uses most of his weight into a kick, a punch so it s very hard to deflect. I think, Aikido wil work on someone whose skills is lower than us, but if we uses aikido to against a master who is far high trained and higher exp than us, then it s our suicide
im a sceptic of everything, but at points he looks pretty bloody good! i like it when they all run at him and he slips through, no matter what you think of styles, and which way would be the best to fight, he keeps his head and does a pretty good job!
That is some of the sickest shit I have ever seen! I had no idea he was actually that good. I don't know jack about Aikido, but he looks as good as some of the other Aikido masters I've seen on RUclips.
I have a lot of respect for anyone who goes through many years of training to try and perfect a style of martial arts. Because he has done a lot of pretty badly made films, Seagal is open to ridicule...he is not the only one...Seagal is older and overweight...so are most of us as we get older. Most of us got into martial arts because of Bruce Lee movies...phenomenal at what he did...would he be as good now? Probably not. The older you get, you lose a bit of speed, toughness...etc. Most professional fighters, whether boxers, MMA or any martial art would probably tell you this happens. Is any style better? Brazillian Jiujitsu had bragging rights 20yrs ago or so. Very few MMA fighters adopt one style, so the argument is pointless. Who is better? A gun will kill all of us very effectively, if someone knows how to aim and shoot well. I would not challenge Seagal to a fight, nor any martial arts teacher, I have practiced under, as I respect that they have taken the time to teach me what they know. Most have day jobs; some who have business "moxy" and can make this a full time job...but most do this out of respect for those who taught them and feel the need to pass the legacy onto others. I feel many demonstrations seen on videos, especially RUclips, are those who see something from these people, whether you wish to call them sensei, master, teacher, or mentors, or simply those who are effective at self marketing. Call it adoration, or respect...but they have grasped something that most of us who still practice martial arts wish to achieve. If it is MMA dominance, or street fight reputation, or Hollywood stardom, or simply confidence they can get out of a dangerous situation... that is for each individual to decide. As I have seen in previous comments, ask anyone who is good at fighting, challenge them to a fight...you will probably lose. It won't matter what style you do...the better fighter usually wins...those who fight more, are usually better than those who do not. If you have to fight many, or your life depends on it...fight dirty...and run like hell! Whatever works to get you away from danger is ultimately the goal of any martial arts. The reputation any martial artist, regardless of style, is usually from those who have rarely fought anyone.
Looking at it from another angle, I’m sure if any of those opponents could have taken him down they would have. It would have solidified their reputation in the martial arts world. When people accuse Steven of being fake they are really accusing hundreds of opponents of being fake and taking a dive. Sure, he’s old and fat now but so am I. I wouldn’t want to have faced him in a dark alley.
Im just wondering... why is it when regular students are doing randori they all get swarmed and one can unquestionably see a totally different body language and attack compared to when they go at sensei? I understand some of it is respect but it is clear to anyone with an unbiased view that when a student is doing randori, the attackers attack all a once and go for the legs and arms to restrain and tackle the person. When sensei is doing randori, they are all coming one at a time and their body language is totally different...It is almost as if they already resigned to what is to happen to them instead of attacking like one would in a real fight...
This is awesome, not only are the techniques solid to begin with but he is insanely good. Some friends of mine used to say jean claude van damme would kick his ass. I have never seen how that would be remotely possible.
Seagal is great, I dont get all the bashing, he drilled this stuff over and over for many years and he mastered it, if he gets a hold of your wrist you better flip or he'll break it.
It works against people who can't fight or don't know how to but yea, bending down and begging them not to kill you is probably more affective if they're trained
I've worked in the music industry for 7 years and protected the likes of Ozzy Osbourne and various other performers. I've utilized Aikido in the real world on multiple occasions. I agree with most of what said in the video however the Tactical aspect of where you physically stand always has a play in the movement and the dynamic. I've fought on Hills I fought on steps and I fought on inclines on multiple occasions. Now people always like to misconstrue when they say to fight. I never went in with the intention of fighting, but the intention of ending a conflict. I should make that very clear. When it came to intervening in situations I've looked at saving two lives, the guy getting kicked in the head, and the guy going to do a life sentence for something stupid.
I've studied it off and on, never really stayed with it but can't never get completely away from. Part of me that thinks it's baloney but another that sees a lot more to it. A high degree of balance awareness, for yourself and the opponent. The ability to avoid direct attacks by redirection, etc, etc. I used aikdio in several situations a police officer. Some of which very much like the moves on here except the guy didn't go flying but he did fall. Check out "Aikido and the Dynamic Sphere."
aikido means The word "aikido" is formed of three kanji: 合 - ai - joining, unifying, combining, fit 気 - ki - spirit, energy, mood, morale 道 - dō - way, path but the secret is abandon yourself and trust the human instinct to move
It works in street fights! Two different fights and I broke the attacker's arm with simple moves in both fights! It works but takes a long time to master it!
How old are you? You're actually taking the time to let younger people believe that all of this flippity floppity shit is real? Giving people the false sense of security that this is an effective martial arts, just because the worst actor in the world practices it. Should be ashamed of yourself for your stupid comment
my family members a 9th dan------i trained under him when i was 11--------steven might know him.... william coyle--------to see steven is amazing but hes tops guy---spent a lot of time doin it
Aikido's usefulness has been proved countless times throughout the ages. Not in competitions, but in real life. Back in Japan, before the second world war, "dojo challenges" (where someone from one dojo would show up unannounced and ask to fight the strongest guy, to prove their style was better) were still common, and Aikido had it's fair share. Likewise, Aikido is practised widely by the police, private investigators, army, and more, in Japan.
@@el34glo59 what makes you think the skills used in competition don't work in street fights? There's thousands of videos in the internet of combat sport athletes easily dominating street fights.
Seagal has trained in several martial arts and developed his own style, from experience when he was challenged several times in japan etc.... he's an amazing aikidoka and an outstanding martial artist.
Ohooooh mercy, this is funny. I haven't laughed this hard in months. I keep thinking of that move you used see in cartoons, where the two bad guys would rush in simultaneously, but the cartoon character would duck and their heads would smash together. XD
I have to say this is a great video,I've always had alot of respect for master sensei seagal,he's dedicated his life to the martial arts just as I have,I'm a high level black belt in several disciplines including Aikido & I've now been a master sensei myself for the past 20 years! I've met master sensei seagal & talked with him,trained with him,went over techniques, sparred,& we watched each other's demonstration's! I have to say I see/hear alot of people poking fun,insulting him & that's very disrespectful & that's a big NO,NO in old school martial arts! This man has accomplished alot in his life and deserves respect!. Keep it flowing master sensei seagal,#Respect!

I've used it against knife attacks, real attacks on the sides of the road, and against 3 people at once. and I can say that aikido is one of the reasons I made it home. so knock if you want to. but I can say for sure I'm happy to be a 2 Dan in it and was a able to use it when needed.
I do hapkido man and i want to know whats the difference between the two? Is hapkido better? Are they the same? Im a yellow belt in hapkido
+david mason Hapkido is way more lethal and effective. Stay in Hapkido if you value your life.
Aikido and Hapkido come from the same roots in Japanese jujitsu and have much in common, despite the fact that Aikido is from Japan and Hapkido is Korean. The Korean peninsula was under Japanese military occupation from 1910-1945, and during that time, martial artists from both cultures freely intermixed and influenced one another. Upon learning the Japanese arts, the Koreans who founded Hapkido integrated their own methods, borrowing freely not only from such arts as Tae Kwon Do and Tang Soo Do but Chinese traditions as well. As a second dan black belt in hapkido, I have had the pleasure of training with many practioners of aikido over the years and they are always a pleasure to work with. There are many valid and time-tested martial arts traditions; choose one which suits you and your needs. Make sure you are doing something you find enjoyable and challenging and with people you like - because attaining mastery takes many hours of hard training, disciplined study and devotion. Learn from anyone you can - and have an open mind. It is humbling when one realizes that the very best martial artists in the world - people at the very pinnacle of their art - still do not feel themselves complete as martial artists or people; they are always striving to improve themselves, learn something new and help others along the way.

Impressionnant Steven Seagal ! 💪💪👍👍👍🙏
I've always loved his films.
This video is fantastic to watch. The man the master the best of the best. I would love to be able to do things like him. But a last I feel that I am to old at 67years old. If I had my time over again I would certainly train myself to Steven Seagal's methods. Now I get great pleasure in watching his videos of martial arts. His singing and his gift as a musician as well. I would love to meet him I person before I die. I love is films as soon as they are released I will buy them. They are worth w
Aikido is one of the most impressive forms of martial arts in my honest opinion. Using someones own momentum against them, and controlling their body completely with the use of locking joints
Do you still think this in 2023?
@bluepandaman
Yes , OP is still blinded by martial arts fantasy.
he is one of the world's strongest ... who else could eat 1000mg of cholesterol daily for decades and live?

It is well known that there are people who can beat Steven Seagal today. In his youth he was a beast. Rare are the people who having opened a dojo in Japan, be a 7th Dan in Aikido, actor, producer, screenwriter, director, American singer and musician. Think about it.
The only Aikido-Master. The best Seagal Movie ever - unfortunately the only one not in ( FULL ) HD. What a pity.
The taiko drum inspired music that starts at about 6:05 is called "Drum Battle" by Tommy Coster. this clip is from a DVD produced by Seagal called "The Path Beyond Thought"
Those are some great actors.
Love Steven Seagal!
The reason these men are falling like that is they're trained to so they're not injured in the throw.
its like a dance routine. they must rehearsed those dance steps alot
Lived in Japan and studied Aikido and believe me this is serious. This is a incredible art and is real.
what the ones that gote there faces kicked in with the font kick lol.....
Bullshit, definitely learned a thing or two from "Sensei" Segal.
dude what is good for you? where do you learn to defend yourself against knife and weapons? in boxing? aikido is cool
how to eat and let your stunt doubles do the work?
nice going
edin dude actually u r an idiot
Super effective when everyone attacking you is feeding your ego
Very effective against people running at you with their hand out asking for an autograph.
Sensei Gozo Shioda has said that Atemis (strikes) make up over 50% of Aikido. That's why in Yoshinkan an Atemi is given before initiating the technique. So instead of trying to grab someone's hand during a fight, it's a good idea to learn how to strike and move. That way, when someone grabs your wrist or body, you can apply your aikido technique. I'd also recommend Judo for physical strength.
A good aikido practitioner must be physically strong (judo) and know how to throw a punch (boxing).
Respect master Seagal 💖👍
Great fighting style. For those who think its fake because the throws look strange, Just remember these guys are also trained how to land without breaking their bodies. If just one of these Aikido moves are applied correctly without you falling right it's likely your arm, or skull would crack. These guys are practicing. and don't want their bodies destroyed demonstrating how 1 proper Aikido move, could obliterate your opponent.
Hahahaha, break your skull on those mats? They aren't being thrown, they are throwing themselves, in a real fight as he is turning your wrist you can punch him in his undefended jaw, even if he breaks it, he's laying on the ground and you can stomp him out. I've seen this shit up close. I went to Aikido classes at 18 and could easily smash Everyone there including the instructor with my boxing and I was no champion boxer. They also have no defense against low kicks or takedowns. They have a wristlock, that's it. A whole bunch of fancy setups for a wristlock. It takes a few hours to really get it down, then you have learned all you need from Aikido.
@@mateosmind751
You did this out of Japan. In there you will be fractured for sure.
Aikido techniques come from Aiki- jujitsu and works from thousand years.
You visited a weake dojo.
He's not really flipping the guys, that would take the trength of a gorilla. They're flipping themselves.
HomeValue Glass I’ve seen rampage Jackson pick someone up and throw them across the octagon you can easily flip someone over
If the dont flip they have a broken arm
damn, i love to watch these skills
Some of the movements look hokey, but some look legit.
It is 100% legit. Aikido is a traditional form of martial arts in Japan, and operates by using a persons momentum and body weight against them. I thought Steven Seagal was a fake until I became friends with someone who was a black belt in Aikido who assured me he is the real deal. If you watch the video carefully, what he is doing in most of the throws is using a wrist lock to stop the person and make their upper body go the way he wants, while their lower body is still moving in the original direction, and then he flips them around their center of gravity.
p3tr0l true
EcnalKcin but a true fighter doesnt run straight to us like this. He will use forms, styles, and many fighting tactics and put us in traps before he strike us hard then end the match. A real fighter uses most of his weight into a kick, a punch so it s very hard to deflect. I think, Aikido wil work on someone whose skills is lower than us, but if we uses aikido to against a master who is far high trained and higher exp than us, then it s our suicide
Sorry 1:22 the guy on the left just killed him. Watch him he strikes then pulls back for SS to hit him O_o
Yea lol

this is my first day on the internet and I think he should be God Emperor of the World!

Before he became a Glazed ham with painted on hair and goatee
aikido isn't real.
im a sceptic of everything, but at points he looks pretty bloody good! i like it when they all run at him and he slips through, no matter what you think of styles, and which way would be the best to fight, he keeps his head and does a pretty good job!
you the best steven seagal
That is some of the sickest shit I have ever seen! I had no idea he was actually that good. I don't know jack about Aikido, but he looks as good as some of the other Aikido masters I've seen on RUclips.
Lmfaoo
amazing, the best thing i've ever seen !
I have a lot of respect for anyone who goes through many years of training to try and perfect a style of martial arts.
Because he has done a lot of pretty badly made films, Seagal is open to ridicule...he is not the only one...Seagal is older and overweight...so are most of us as we get older.
Most of us got into martial arts because of Bruce Lee movies...phenomenal at what he did...would he be as good now? Probably not. The older you get, you lose a bit of speed, toughness...etc. Most professional fighters, whether boxers, MMA or any martial art would probably tell you this happens.
Is any style better? Brazillian Jiujitsu had bragging rights 20yrs ago or so. Very few MMA fighters adopt one style, so the argument is pointless. Who is better? A gun will kill all of us very effectively, if someone knows how to aim and shoot well.
I would not challenge Seagal to a fight, nor any martial arts teacher, I have practiced under, as I respect that they have taken the time to teach me what they know. Most have day jobs; some who have business "moxy" and can make this a full time job...but most do this out of respect for those who taught them and feel the need to pass the legacy onto others.
I feel many demonstrations seen on videos, especially RUclips, are those who see something from these people, whether you wish to call them sensei, master, teacher, or mentors, or simply those who are effective at self marketing. Call it adoration, or respect...but they have grasped something that most of us who still practice martial arts wish to achieve. If it is MMA dominance, or street fight reputation, or Hollywood stardom, or simply confidence they can get out of a dangerous situation... that is for each individual to decide.
As I have seen in previous comments, ask anyone who is good at fighting, challenge them to a fight...you will probably lose. It won't matter what style you do...the better fighter usually wins...those who fight more, are usually better than those who do not. If you have to fight many, or your life depends on it...fight dirty...and run like hell! Whatever works to get you away from danger is ultimately the goal of any martial arts.
The reputation any martial artist, regardless of style, is usually from those who have rarely fought anyone.
great video steve. I've been watching for 30 yrs. I'm 63 and still practising. praise God.
I’m feeling stupider just being here.
Trevor Rogers same it’s full of ppl who wasted their time training Aikido and are trying to justify their fuckup online.
Looking at it from another angle, I’m sure if any of those opponents could have taken him down they would have. It would have solidified their reputation in the martial arts world. When people accuse Steven of being fake they are really accusing hundreds of opponents of being fake and taking a dive. Sure, he’s old and fat now but so am I. I wouldn’t want to have faced him in a dark alley.
Truly awesome!!!!!!
Makes me laugh when people say steven Segal isn't legit but many people wouldn't dare to try him
Im just wondering... why is it when regular students are doing randori they all get swarmed and one can unquestionably see a totally different body language and attack compared to when they go at sensei? I understand some of it is respect but it is clear to anyone with an unbiased view that when a student is doing randori, the attackers attack all a once and go for the legs and arms to restrain and tackle the person. When sensei is doing randori, they are all coming one at a time and their body language is totally different...It is almost as if they already resigned to what is to happen to them instead of attacking like one would in a real fight...
Epic dude
a great teacher
Also my holidays are over.Im just relaxing and listening music.
This is awesome, not only are the techniques solid to begin with but he is insanely good. Some friends of mine used to say jean claude van damme would kick his ass. I have never seen how that would be remotely possible.
well, keep in mind vanne damme is also a kickboxing champion. . .
Seagal is great, I dont get all the bashing, he drilled this stuff over and over for many years and he mastered it, if he gets a hold of your wrist you better flip or he'll break it.
No he didn't. Makes stuff up as he goes, just like taking credit for Silvas mma training. He's a compulsive liar.
oh yeah! Yes! that is true. I have been taking it for a year. It is an amazing art.
True Master!!
if you think this is going to save you in real life, you've never been in a fight. Period.

This is a defensive style didn’t you see in the beginning of the video how he manhandled these guys.
It works against people who can't fight or don't know how to but yea, bending down and begging them not to kill you is probably more affective if they're trained
I've worked in the music industry for 7 years and protected the likes of Ozzy Osbourne and various other performers. I've utilized Aikido in the real world on multiple occasions. I agree with most of what said in the video however the Tactical aspect of where you physically stand always has a play in the movement and the dynamic. I've fought on Hills I fought on steps and I fought on inclines on multiple occasions. Now people always like to misconstrue when they say to fight. I never went in with the intention of fighting, but the intention of ending a conflict. I should make that very clear. When it came to intervening in situations I've looked at saving two lives, the guy getting kicked in the head, and the guy going to do a life sentence for something stupid.
I've studied it off and on, never really stayed with it but can't never get completely away from. Part of me that thinks it's baloney but another that sees a lot more to it. A high degree of balance awareness, for yourself and the opponent. The ability to avoid direct attacks by redirection, etc, etc. I used aikdio in several situations a police officer. Some of which very much like the moves on here except the guy didn't go flying but he did fall.
Check out "Aikido and the Dynamic Sphere."
25 years studying with the Masters in Japan to become that which Seagal make's look easy.
Master of the dance, master of the choreography, master of Hollywood action 90s movies
Steven Seagal sooo much respect . Amazing
This looks so real, his acting is amazing. No wonder he became a movie star.
i can honestly say that Steven Seagal akido is as legit as his amazing guitar playing and his hair....
... and his stomach.... and his....
aikido means The word "aikido" is formed of three kanji:
合 - ai - joining, unifying, combining, fit
気 - ki - spirit, energy, mood, morale
道 - dō - way, path
but the secret is abandon yourself and trust the human instinct to move
A true master of Kung fool.
Great video!
Superb...
AIKIDO NOT HARD HANDED. MASTER STEVEN SEAGAL IS AMAZING. MY BROTHER LOVED JAPAN WHERE STEVEN SEAGAL STUDIED WITH HIS MASTER AT DOJO.

Aikido's usefulness has been proved countless times throughout the ages. Not in competitions, but in real life. Back in Japan, before the second world war, "dojo challenges" (where someone from one dojo would show up unannounced and ask to fight the strongest guy, to prove their style was better) were still common, and Aikido had it's fair share. Likewise, Aikido is practised widely by the police, private investigators, army, and more, in Japan.
if they don't work in competition, what more in real life?😂😂
@@kermit1211
Because competition isn't real life street fighting
@@el34glo59 what makes you think the skills used in competition don't work in street fights? There's thousands of videos in the internet of combat sport athletes easily dominating street fights.
Seagal has trained in several martial arts and developed his own style, from experience when he was challenged several times in japan etc.... he's an amazing aikidoka and an outstanding martial artist.

I've met master sensei seagal & talked with him,trained with him,went over techniques, sparred,& we watched each other's demonstration's! I have to say I see/hear alot of people poking fun,insulting him & that's very disrespectful & that's a big NO,NO in old school martial arts! This man has accomplished alot in his life and deserves respect!. Keep it flowing master sensei seagal,#Respect!
