Probably the first and last good interview of Steven where you actually believe he knows martial arts and also the only interview where he doesn’t sound like a jerk, but actually a likable older guy.
You should also watch the interview with Scott Adkins! Adkins is a great interviewer, because he's both an actor and martial artist, so he asks the right questions.
You can think what you want about Steven Seagal. But the important thing here is how Jesse is carrying himself here, respectful, humble and honorable like a Karateka should do even if he thinks otherwise in his mind.A great ambassador of the way. 押忍
@@KARATEbyJesse This is the greatest teaching I received from martial arts. Musashi wrote to make your fighting stance your everyday stance. We should think of respect as a stance as well. This is what makes some practitioners like Jesse stand out
@@KARATEbyJesse respect, unfortunately, has different definition, in real life, and in reality show or the likes. But you are the man of respect. Kudos.
Another thing : In other interviews , interactions with Steven Seagal , I've never seen anyone else showing that he is always going for a "foot block" specially for the strongest leg. Thanks for paying attention and for filming these details.
People talk a lot of smack about him, but he has legitimate skills, regardless what you think about his personality and some past behaviours. No-one is perfect. Obviously he's aging and getting a lot more rotund.
i would believe he changed when some interviewer challange his skills, ask him about some other actor's skills, or quote someone taking steven a bit less seriously.
One of the best and honest interviews I have seen in years. Giving a man a chance to share his spiritual take on life and the importance of quality martial arts.
My guess. He is a wiser man now. Age brings wisdom and humility. Although, he has always had a sense of humility about him. It looks like he really enjoys teaching, as opposed to being a practitioner. It is cool to see.
Not really. sparring maybe, in a fight no, not like his movies. His movies are defense, despite lots of guns. Aikido is fluid defense style, Karate seems more active defense, both due to the situation.
@@bo0tsy1 the thing about Segals style of martial art is that its not made for an environment that has rules holding you back. He practices the art of killing an enemy on a crowded battlefield while wielding weapons, where if you go to the ground you simply die. An MMA fighter would of course destroy him in a fair fight, but im willing to bet that in his prime in a no holds barred knife fight you would get folded in seconds by this dude
@@Opachki69420 I tend to agree, this guy is kinda unhinged to begin with, they don't flourish under restrictions. He focuses on the way it was practised and applied in period, but i wonder if he's actually worn a full period Samurai suit plus Katana before and had actual sparring bouts in them. It seems to be mostly passing on stories and showing some moves that would've been ideal in a fight, but not that much to show for, as most of these moves are banned and thus not televised. It takes a certain type to be willing to go over the limit right off the bat, plus, not many, or any modern fighters are trained to fight "dirty" anyway and lack the knowledge of some extra moves. I do think he would've been dangerous against traditional fighters, but i also wonder how well he would've stacked up against similar guys in a tournament for his specific style.
Think what you want. The interview was done artfully and with respect. This principal has given us much entertainment over the years and for that I say thank you, Sensei Seagal.
I was a prison guard for 21 years... When we trained at Management of aggressive behavior... We learned the techniques Ikkyo, Sankyo and Kotegaeshi... Seagal used Sankyo in this video... his ability to use Pain compliance and control is absolutely insane. Those moves do work in the real world and he is by far the the fastest and most fluid of anyone I have ever seen at it.
So true, people talk so much shit about him. It's extremely hard to pull off these moves, to do it as expertly as he can tells you a lot about how serious he still is about his training.
@@aikidoboynj they talked shit because they don't have the understanding or experience. Being an uke is just as important as practicing the moves. Some moves look effortless or meager, but can inflict a lot of pain.
That man knows his shit and he can certainly fight aswell, top top Senseis praise him, the one's that know their shit. It's the idiot novices that all slag him down, the dossers and wasters, those that are just jealous!
Great set of videos with Seagal! Reading the comments here, lots of people seem surprised that he's so open and humble in this exchange you had with him. He's open and humble because you and your brother approached him with sincerity, respect, and openness. Great attitude and vibe you and your brother bring. Thanks
It's most likely their exceptional respectful ways of interacting and behaving that contrives him to be that humble. It goes to showthat him (Jesse) is the bigger man in that room imo.
I loved the video and appreciate the perspective, BUT... can we all just say a prayer for the health and safety of his full time practice dummy! Kudos to that guy!
Agreed and much respect; however, the human dummy is on a voluntary path to growth, desensitization, and refined perfection of the art. His gains are many and tremendous. 🙏🏼☯️
Jesus.. I haven't been practicing martial arts for a while now, but I could never face this, with this much respect and dignity as those two.. much kudos for that
“Aikido is not merely about fighting and the development of the physical self but the perfection of the spiritual man at the same time. It has very harmonious movements, very beautiful to watch, and beautiful for your body to feel." - Steven Seagal
@@SaboteurC64 It's because there's significant overlap with all martial arts. I also believe Seagal was just being especially insightful and respectful by using the interviewer's martial art perspective for better connection to understand.
Jesse, I’m so glad you had this opportunity to meet and train with Steven Seagal. I had the honor of spending a weekend training with him in the 90’s at a seminar open to all styles in Boulder Colorado. I experienced the effectiveness of his technique. He was a genuine nice guy and knowledgeable, patient and willing to discuss all aspects of the martial arts. He is no joke as many have tried to portray him. He too is human and may have made some mistakes. Haven’t we all…
@@AndyEvolves I was asking the name so I could research. I think you should reword, so the comment is not directed specifically towards me. Im sure thats not what you meant.
It truly is as Seagal stated about a majority of american haters of him. Their minds are of the Cold World War 2 paranoid mentality, they're stuck in the thought of, " don't trust anyone from eastern europe and eastern asia ".
His takeaway message on finding one good teacher who can reach you the spirituality and help you grow as a human being is spot on. I had the sheer coincidental luck to have met my Sensei Henry Smalls in Hawaii in early 2006, who turned out to be that very one teacher for me. It was at a very delicate time in my life, having come out of a near death head on collision with a sleeping driver. Sensei imparted a lot of the philosophy you heard in these videos (and so much more) which allowed me to continue learning the waza under future teachers while continuously strengthening my spirit. It helped me reconnect with my body, find my fighting spirit and find my center. The spiritual teaching has served as a foundation for my life since 2006.It's a lucky moment in life when you find that teacher and I encourage everyone who hasn't found theirs to keep looking. Bless you for this interview, it comes at a great time in itself. Thank you Mr. Seagal for this candid moment.
I had the pleasure of doing a Japanese commercial with Mr. Seagal way back in the 90's. He used me and one of the other stuntmen to block out the fight. After doing that, he asked me if I wanted to see the difference between his techniques for film and reality. He spent over half an hour working with me. I have always admired and respected him greatly. So glad to see you having him in your videos. He's the real deal. OSS!
The only time I ever saw Steve dangerous is when "Gene LaBelle" choked him out and he did a poo💩🤭 poo in his pants watching him waddling to the bathroom was very dangerous..If somebody walked by..😂
While I value martial arts in all forms, and can appreciate the athleticism of MMA, I really prefer deeper conversations like this. I trained with a friend for 8 years who was a dedicated karateka (though he died a few years back) who would informally cross train with me. We often had serious talks like this which ranged from the mechanical/technical, to history and philosophy. These discussions take what most consider to be niche "hobbies" fitness routines, or purely self protection training and elevate the practice into something greater. True martial artists embrace this path as a permanent way of life and spiritual growth. Thank you for letting us participate in this discussion.
Mr Seagal a advice at the end was very good advice and I really liked his answer to what he would like he would like to be remembered for. That was a very humble, responsible and caring answer. Your very lucky to have been able to spend time with him Jesse.
Started Karaté just one year ago; Jesse's videos are an amazing source to keep going and learning. Bravo for the interviews and showcase the individual masters. Great Editing and Pacing.
I'm glad someone has made a respectful video of Shihan. Too many see the actor and not the Martial Artist,, they forget his roots are legitimate. You and your brother are just good people period. God bless you! Thank you 😊!!!
@@calburner4635 I think many get caught up in the antics and persona... which i will agree, doesn't help, but he does know his art and is keenly aware of others.
Love what he said at the end about finding one good master. My Sifu is that master for me that he’s talking about. I’ve been a wing chun practitioner for 6 years now and will probably never quit practicing under him for any reason. His philosophy, guidance and the overall community and culture he’s built for his school has been a great pleasure to be apart of. Wing chun is a very misunderstood martial art but I’ve found so much benefit in learning it especially the internal style we have been learning in the past two years. We pressure test everything we learn in class and find out what works, and why it works and the results never cease to blow my mind.
Ayy, Wing Chun! The school of kung fu I trained used some Wing Chun forms in training. We were Hung Gar (Tiger/Crane) mostly, but with a little bit of Mantis, and a bit of Wing Chun. Hope the new year is finding you well!
I have watched this video over 5 times. Each time I watch it, I learn something new. Today, I just realized how Jesse synthesized an entire spiritual philosophy in just one phrase: "...Because you only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough." Thank you, again.
Man, when I was growing up, Steven Seagal was one of my biggest heroes, and when people started talking bad about him it messed with me. It’s really awesome to see something where people aren’t just roasting him for being a bit cocky. I found your channel like 2 weeks ago, and I’ve just been eating it up. Great content bro
Thanks for uploading these videos. I feel everyone is an idiot on the internet, but the longer you are with someone (and in this case filmed) you begin to understand the other person better and realize you can always learn something new.
Thanks for every one in making these two videos. It’s made me see Steven Segal in a new light, or perhaps see him again in the same way as I did at the start of his first film, when I’d first started aikido. The “one thing” that Steven Segal said he’d want to pass on at the end, about finding one teacher and including the philosophy is very very helpful.
He is a good man, and a great teacher. I feel very inspired. When ever I lose sight of myself in fear and addiction, there always is a hand extended from the East to remind me of who I am, and to focus on what is best. Steven was that hand today with his teaching. I need to find Zen.
Dear Mr. Enkamp, I really wish to thank you for having shared this interview with Sensei Seagal. I've watched the to videos and I could feel and appreciate the spirituallity and the philosophy of Sensei Seagal: I think I could listen him for hours speaking, without interrupt him one single time. Thank you very much.
I'm impressed with the skill on display here. Much different than all the other videos of him doing the same moves throwing people who are clearly going along with it. But here he actually shows some real stuff. Impressed.
They "go along with it" because you have to. If you don't know how to roll out of the techniques and break fall than you get hurt. I've done aikido and hapkido and a lot of the techniques are designed to hyper extend and dislocate joints and break bones.
Wow... So many of you people just don't know a single thing about any martial arts, do you? When a teacher's students are "going along" with a technique, it's for their own safety because their arms and wrists may get broken very easily if they resist. They are simply done that way as a demonstration for students to learn them and learn to physically apply or escape the damage of those techniques. They have special rolls and falls designed to protect their wrists and arms, which is what students are taught to do. It's all part of the training. Just like a stuntman needs to prepare and practice before a stunt without actually doing the real stunt, before someone can use a martial arts technique, one has to first learn the technique through physical contact and simulation without actually getting into a real fight.
Great interviews and interactions with SS. I can see that you all enjoyed it. SS showed a side that we do not see very often and it was great to see. I now have much more respect for him. Great job.
This is awesome, first time I have ever seen this side of Steven Seagal in a interview style type and in training with others. He was the man back in his prime, always enjoyed him and JCVD.
Jessie, that was fantastic interview. You showed class and professionalism by letting Steven talk and finish his thoughts. I'm positively surprised with the way it came out. I wish from the bottom of my heart some day you do interview and training with my childhood hero - Jean Claude Van Dame.
Tooootaly agree! It would be amazing to see Van dame with jessie! Van Dame is the main reason why I got into martial arts. He was also my childhood hero.
Reading your comment i definitely feel old. Steven Seagal, Jean Van dame, Chuck Norris, Bruce Lee were my idols. Steven Seagal for the aikido style ( redistribution of power), Jean Van dame for the infamous back and front kick, chuck Norris (karaté) and The famous Bruce Lee ( all the combination of power into one deadly punch.) Without my other idol Jackie Chan. I watched all the movies growing up. Now, I definitely feel the Golden age 😂 lol
That just changed everything for me. Steven obviously knows his art. He's an old guy, loves to indulge etc so he's slow now but d'you know, as a teacher he is very impressive. Ignore the films, he's no actor but there is clearly some valuable knowledge to impart on a new generation. Great video.
That was just brilliant, these two videos with Steven Segal were an absolute highlight and super interesting. The whole series with the search for the roots of karate with grandmasters in China was fantastic. Excellent videos in general, always exciting and worth learning and interesting in terms of content. And you can tell that it comes from the heart and that the people who are interviewed enjoy it and are experts in their field. Thank you very much.
This was awsome guys. Seagal is no joke. This was a beautiful glimps of Seagal as Sensei. Your humility and respect has let us all learn from a master. Those knuckles! He has granite for bone in those hands. Those were some painfull lessons😊
Since I've been watching interviews of Seagal on youtube I've always seen people insulting him and saying bad things about him, but Seagal has something that captures your attention and you begin to love him as the genuine human being he is.
i am 1 year late to the party but damn what a great video. Steven really seemed comfortable and chill throughout the whole thing, while at the same time displaying that he actually does have good technique and knowledge, and seems pretty deadly.
Jesse, you know what I like about you? It's because you're humble and are always willing and opened to learn (in this case, martial arts). I wish people to be just like that but for everything. It's a lesson for life.
The best interview with Steven Seagal by far. I actually regained some respect for him in regards as a teacher and martial artist with the details of the techniques. Whether I agree with him or not I can appreciate his dedication and learning.
It's just his movies that are absolutely abysmal and beyond awful. As a person, he's fine. We seem to conflate/confuse the actor for the person. You can be an awful actor starring in terribly cheezy movies (if you can even call them 'movies'), but that in no way reflects on the person.
I have a family member that worked with him years ago on a low budget film. He was miserable and rude. Everything you would think he would be. I appreciated this video, it allows the martial artist to shine where you don’t get to see that side of him. It balances things out. I was also a huge fan of him and his movies until he started imposing his will on the movies and they went down in quality.
Such an awesome video and demonstration. I remember learning CQB techniques at SRF training and being amazed at how well those control techniques work when executed properly. Much of the counters and controls he's showing require years of practice and muscle memory. But they really do work. It isn't bullshido. However, they are significantly harder to execute on another trained individual. Thank you for the interview here!
Great video guys! Thank you for reminding people that Steven is a multi-faceted human being and not some cartoon caricature who exists to be berated and mocked by others.
One thought that's sticking with me, after watching this interview, is that you never wanna mess with anyone, who's been perfecting their craft for 30, 40, let alone 60+ years! Personal opinion aside I have to respect that level of dedication and perseverance. Words of wisdom should always be well received, especially if they are being given free of charge. Appreciate it.
This video changes everything from me. From now on I will rewatch every bizarre moment from Seagal not as if he is being serious, but as intentional comedy. Because here he seems serious and humble, probably the person he truly is.
He's a William Shatner type of guy. Develops a larger-than-life persona, and is around so long people have trouble separating it from anything else there is to him. But of course you had to be somebody to even get in that position in the first place
Great video, it really helped me finally place Segal in the martial arts world. If you deduct his celebrity status and all the silly antics that come about from that domain, he seems just fine just as an Aikido teacher. A very, VERY eccentric Aikido teacher who just loves to sneak in undertones of international superspy assasin when he talks, but also someone who's genuinely really in love with Aikido. Sure, you can say what you will about the martial art itself, how it struggles to find a place in combat sports or it's dubious practicality in self defense. Even if it's just for the sake of Aikido itself, you can't deny that he's really into it. For what it's worth, he'd make one hell of an interesting teacher.
This 2 part interview was mesmerizing for me. He carries himself amazingly. Always with respect. Always spiritual. Always ready to defend. Well done. Thank you. I hope you always treasure meeting the Legend in the flesh. 🙏
These two videos completely changed my view on Seagal. Yes, he may run funny, but he really knows his stuff. I'd show these videos to anyone doubting his abilities. Great interview and great work guys! Subbed
@@HessianLikeTheFabric lol.. my sensei did surprising and painful things to me all the time... teaching me to be surprising and painful and to put an opponent offbalance... and to deal with the unexpected in a training environment,,, so i would freeze less if it happened in real life as it had become normalised somewhat.... lifes tough and so should be the teachers for it
0:29 What on earth! That's a legit conditioned fist! As someone who is very keen on conditioning his knuckles, I guarantee you, a punch from SS would feel like being hit with a brick! Thank you Jesse for igniting my love for Karate, and traditional martial arts again!
Well said, those who say he is a fraud will not say it to his face. He has always gotten a bad rap for speaking his conviction about others skill set. In this video he speaks highly of many martial artist.
So many people mock his skills, but had a friend who new him in Japan and had took films of him at his dojo. He was very good. Anyone that could start a dojo in Tokyo when he did had to be very good. He was constantly challenged by other martial artists and local Yakuza. By the time he came home he had a dojo full of Japanese students. A huge complement.
@@Sheha-fc6ht A huge complement. Funny, I think you meant compliment, but if he had a lot of students, it was a huge complement. A malapropism that accidentally works out.
Being raised in the 90’s I’ll always remember being impressed with Segal in under siege. That movie was my first time seeing him in action and it was awesome. Thanks for the vid.
Daniel: Karate’s fighting, you train to fight. Miyagi : Is that what you think ? Daniel :No Miyagi: Then why train, Daniel: so i don’t have to fightq Miyagi got hope for you yet
Hey Jesse..... I've been teaching for 46 years. My instructor taught 10 years (in America) before me. I can assure you, Steven Seagal is absolutely correct in the notion of keeping the elbow down, shoulders down, and lats down during a typical punch. There is no comparison (we've done every test we could think of over the years). Of course, there are other kinds of punches needed, but for a straight punch, this is the strongest, best support system for it. Chest relaxed downward, back slightly convex, shoulders down, lats compress down into hips, and elbow is pointed down (instead of aiming at the side), change flat fist to an angle fist where the knuckles are tilted (leaving index finger knuckle higher than the little finger knuckle) -- the formula of a lifetime. Then, throw it relaxed -- like throwing your hand through the target instead of "focusing" on the target. Bullets don't focus, arrows don't focus, cannon balls don't focus; this punch should be thrown, not pushed. Great acceleration! Peace...............
@@dasmuss6174 I agree, that is a concern in boxing. But though that is part of boxing tactics (and works!) it can reduce throwing power if the chin is tucked too tight into the shoulder. It's a kind of trade off; lose a little power -- gain a bit of chin coverage. :)
This is one of the best video I have seen from a good instructor. Many people or students learn and think they can use the lesson on someone else as a joke, Seagal is right. You are learning the philosophy and idea behind it. Not to kill as a sole purpose.
Jesse Enkamp never disappoints. Again another great video. Showing if you approach martial arts with an opne mind and open heart you can learn from anyone. Best interview of Segal I have ever seen.
Very well said, and it something I see with Jesse. He is willing to step out when others stand back to be so critical. That is the why all who practice the martial arts, and even, just self defense, need to do...be willing to step out and see the other person face to face.
This is like the Best genuine Video I seen about Seagal, I would Hang out with Him Any Day, you can learn a thing or two from his experience. Well Done Steven.
It's super refreshing to see Seagal in his actual element, no lies, no over the top action, no silent killer tropes. Just a master martial artist imparting techniques to a student, really wish he did more things like this. He would be much more respected if he did this, and stopped making movies after Executive Decision.
@@TranceHistorianЕму нужно снять автобиографический фильм о его скитаниях в Японии, выступить в нём режиссером и постановщиком боевых сцен, взять молодого парня (похожего на него) на главную роль (например, Марио Касас бы подошёл) и лучше раскрыть свою историю (что-то типа фильма Ип Ман), тогда люди по-новому взглянут на личность Стивена Сигала.
The "sliding walking style" was taught to me by my Sensei Josino from Ubatuba. São Paulo, Brazil. The intention is to avoid being an easy target to low kicks , leg swapping techniques. You're not going to block entirely your opponent's attacks , but it will make their attacks aiming your legs a lot more ineffective. You will be able to better protect your whole body by denying your opponent or at least making it a lot more difficult for him to swap your legs. You can also , by reflex and you find it fit , harden your leg in time for the incoming hit or take your foot out of his intended strike point. First you have to learn to fall. A whole Month being thrown around. Then , you'll have to learn to walk correctly and efficiently. Another Month . Be patient because it pays off. As boring as it is , it is useful.
Bravo Jesse & Co. I thoroughly enjoyed viewing this interview & demonstration.Great to hear and see Steven Seagull as he really is, a dedicated devoted martial artist with so much respect to and integrity.❤
the fact that he actually held the camera for you to try your Makiwara, was a very very suprising humble moment. Seagal was my idol for many years. All the gossip about him going around in the american media made me lost faith in him but these two episodes show him as a fun and kind sensei. It feels so weird, but i feel his attitude here is legit.
This is how he really is. I can see the interviewers (this channel owner) seems pretty refreshing and neutral and passionate, interested. You can see Steven admires that and is motivated to open up himself. I always thought Steven is exactly like he is in the video.
The two parts of this video was fantastic, thank you! People tend to think that Seagul is a fake but he did work very hard in Japan mastering the art from the age of 17.
I also love the spiritual perspective in martial arts. Therefore the ending "-do" in many styles (Judo, Aikido, Karatedo...) refers to the "Way" (of life) in Daoism (or Taoism). Thank you very much for sharing your dedication with us Jesse! I appreciate that. 🙏🙂
Trained in his LA dojo twice decades ago (before leaving for Japan) but his assistant Matsuoka sensei taught. Aikido - in the main - is aimed at developing better humans: body, mind and spirit via the rigorous drilling of martial arts techniques (I know 3 generations of Ueshibas) and yet it is also an applied martial art, if practiced at a sufficiently vigorous and comprehensive way. It's not that complicated. But in an increasingly binary world where an issue or thing is *ALL* this way or *ALL* that way, people struggle to comprehend context or nuance.
Wow! The video changes my image of Steven Seagal once more! As a child I loved him in his movies, later I have heard stories about him beeing an imposter and this video shows his skills once again. Thank you Jesse!🙏
Did you see his knuckles??? Ok, first thanks for the video. Awesome stuff. Second, I don't care what ANYBODY says about this guy: he has punched... something... many, many thousands of times. He's practicing something. A lot. And watching the way he moves, at his age... I would not f*(k with this guy. Ever. It's very clear that he's not practicing a sport. He's not doing situps and jogging to prepare for a 15 minute, 5 round fight. He's preparing to incapacitate an opponent in seconds with no rules except "the survivor wins." Much respect for him, regardless of how he looks and his weight. Much respect to you guys for being honest, open mindend and respectful of a man regardless of his "reputation." You're a class act and a credit to the martial arts. Bravo.
so he knows how to fight without being able to move? Guy is stiffer than a bamboo. In a fight he would just bend over and fall like a tree after one punch (from himself). He is probably already waiting for his hip replacement. I love the guy, he was my hero as a kid, but reality kicks in at some point.
@@TheTuborgen I would agree if it weren't for the placement of his feet on top of his opponent's. Look again. If that level of precision and practice doesn't impress you, I have nothing I can say that will sway you.
100% agree there’s a difference between sport and bravado, which is what most people understand and then actual eliminating opponent as efficiently and as quick as possible to never bother anyone else again that’s another level

These two videos were in fact the best interview with Steven Seagal regarding martial arts in his entire career. Congrats and thank you.
i wholeheartedly agree.
I don't know if I've seen all of them, but I've never seen a better interview. These were awesome.
It was a delight see you connecting and Steven being a true Sensei ! It changed my perception I had of him.
Agreed
I think the main takeaway for Steven, should be to cut down on the takeaway's.
Probably the first and last good interview of Steven where you actually believe he knows martial arts and also the only interview where he doesn’t sound like a jerk, but actually a likable older guy.
You should also watch the interview with Scott Adkins! Adkins is a great interviewer, because he's both an actor and martial artist, so he asks the right questions.

You can think what you want about Steven Seagal. But the important thing here is how Jesse is carrying himself here, respectful, humble and honorable like a Karateka should do even if he thinks otherwise in his mind.A great ambassador of the way. 押忍
Karate begins and ends with respect 🙏
@@KARATEbyJesse This is the greatest teaching I received from martial arts. Musashi wrote to make your fighting stance your everyday stance. We should think of respect as a stance as well. This is what makes some practitioners like Jesse stand out
Rei ni hajimaru. Rei ni owaru.
That hits the nail on the head... take it one step further by just adding people in general and we may have a better world.
@@KARATEbyJesse respect, unfortunately, has different definition, in real life, and in reality show or the likes. But you are the man of respect. Kudos.
Another thing :
In other interviews , interactions with Steven Seagal , I've never seen anyone else showing that he is always going for a "foot block" specially for the strongest leg.
Thanks for paying attention and for filming these details.
He also had a fan while resting.... i don't know the "time period" that they used but it look short, just saying
I’m in utter shock. A nice and genuine video about Steven? Pretty great honestly
Ive never seen Steven talk this much in any interview. He must really like the streamer.
Yeah, I am so shocked
People talk a lot of smack about him, but he has legitimate skills, regardless what you think about his personality and some past behaviours. No-one is perfect. Obviously he's aging and getting a lot more rotund.
i would believe he changed when some interviewer challange his skills, ask him about some other actor's skills, or quote someone taking steven a bit less seriously.
@@anthonygordon9483people tend to be happy and talkative when talking about a hobby
I have to admit, everything else aside, I've never seen Steven Seagal comport himself with this much humility.
It's possible that the hate fir him is overblown and exaggerated
@@isavax3 or he's behaving for the video
@@El.broder or you just hate him
To be honest. Steven is a boss.
He even said that Bruce Lee kick was better than his own!
One of the best and honest interviews I have seen in years. Giving a man a chance to share his spiritual take on life and the importance of quality martial arts.
Part 1 and Part 2 of this interview its one of the best of Steven Seagal I've ever seen. Great job to all.
So cool seeing Steven Seagal actually enjoying himself and having fun sharing knowledge.
That was very cool to watch indeed
unfortunately he then goes off camera and sexually assaults his employees
My guess. He is a wiser man now. Age brings wisdom and humility. Although, he has always had a sense of humility about him. It looks like he really enjoys teaching, as opposed to being a practitioner. It is cool to see.

Where can I get that wig, man⁉️
Not really. sparring maybe, in a fight no, not like his movies. His movies are defense, despite lots of guns. Aikido is fluid defense style, Karate seems more active defense, both due to the situation.
@@bo0tsy1 the thing about Segals style of martial art is that its not made for an environment that has rules holding you back.
He practices the art of killing an enemy on a crowded battlefield while wielding weapons, where if you go to the ground you simply die.
An MMA fighter would of course destroy him in a fair fight, but im willing to bet that in his prime in a no holds barred knife fight you would get folded in seconds by this dude
@@Opachki69420 I tend to agree, this guy is kinda unhinged to begin with, they don't flourish under restrictions.
He focuses on the way it was practised and applied in period, but i wonder if he's actually worn a full period Samurai suit plus Katana before and had actual sparring bouts in them.
It seems to be mostly passing on stories and showing some moves that would've been ideal in a fight, but not that much to show for, as most of these moves are banned and thus not televised.
It takes a certain type to be willing to go over the limit right off the bat, plus, not many, or any modern fighters are trained to fight "dirty" anyway and lack the knowledge of some extra moves.
I do think he would've been dangerous against traditional fighters, but i also wonder how well he would've stacked up against similar guys in a tournament for his specific style.
It was done very well.
"You only live once. And if you do it right, once is enough." Nice words to live by.
Think what you want. The interview was done artfully and with respect. This principal has given us much entertainment over the years and for that I say thank you, Sensei Seagal.
I was a prison guard for 21 years... When we trained at Management of aggressive behavior... We learned the techniques Ikkyo, Sankyo and Kotegaeshi... Seagal used Sankyo in this video... his ability to use Pain compliance and control is absolutely insane. Those moves do work in the real world and he is by far the the fastest and most fluid of anyone I have ever seen at it.
So true, people talk so much shit about him. It's extremely hard to pull off these moves, to do it as expertly as he can tells you a lot about how serious he still is about his training.
@@aikidoboynj they talked shit because they don't have the understanding or experience. Being an uke is just as important as practicing the moves. Some moves look effortless or meager, but can inflict a lot of pain.
That man knows his shit and he can certainly fight aswell, top top Senseis praise him, the one's that know their shit.
It's the idiot novices that all slag him down, the dossers and wasters, those that are just jealous!
@@aikidoboynj agree
@@aikidoboynj You're right ! Folks confuse his personality (if they don't care for it) with his martial prowess & technique.
Great set of videos with Seagal! Reading the comments here, lots of people seem surprised that he's so open and humble in this exchange you had with him. He's open and humble because you and your brother approached him with sincerity, respect, and openness. Great attitude and vibe you and your brother bring. Thanks
It's most likely their exceptional respectful ways of interacting and behaving that contrives him to be that humble. It goes to showthat him (Jesse) is the bigger man in that room imo.
I loved the video and appreciate the perspective, BUT... can we all just say a prayer for the health and safety of his full time practice dummy! Kudos to that guy!

“Aikido is not merely about fighting and the development of the physical self but the perfection of the spiritual man at the same time. It has very harmonious movements, very beautiful to watch, and beautiful for your body to feel." - Steven Seagal

Fun fact: Aikido is not mentioned once in these 2 videos 👀
@@KARATEbyJesse Now that you mention it....
@@KARATEbyJesse well maybe that's because what he does is not traditional Aikido? 🤔
@@SaboteurC64 It's because there's significant overlap with all martial arts. I also believe Seagal was just being especially insightful and respectful by using the interviewer's martial art perspective for better connection to understand.
Jesse, I’m so glad you had this opportunity to meet and train with Steven Seagal. I had the honor of spending a weekend training with him in the 90’s at a seminar open to all styles in Boulder Colorado. I experienced the effectiveness of his technique. He was a genuine nice guy and knowledgeable, patient and willing to discuss all aspects of the martial arts. He is no joke as many have tried to portray him. He too is human and may have made some mistakes. Haven’t we all…
He's real....anyone real knows it

I think you should reword, so the comment is not directed specifically towards me. Im sure thats not what you meant.
This Steven Seagal is the Steven Seagal that we all enjoy, he is less bragging and less critical he smiles and he laughs.
Yeah it's nice to see him with his guard down for a change.
It truly is as Seagal stated about a majority of american haters of him. Their minds are of the Cold World War 2 paranoid mentality, they're stuck in the thought of, " don't trust anyone from eastern europe and eastern asia ".
X2
True that!
Because, I think he enjoys teaching his style. He's reliving his younger days
His takeaway message on finding one good teacher who can reach you the spirituality and help you grow as a human being is spot on. I had the sheer coincidental luck to have met my Sensei Henry Smalls in Hawaii in early 2006, who turned out to be that very one teacher for me. It was at a very delicate time in my life, having come out of a near death head on collision with a sleeping driver. Sensei imparted a lot of the philosophy you heard in these videos (and so much more) which allowed me to continue learning the waza under future teachers while continuously strengthening my spirit. It helped me reconnect with my body, find my fighting spirit and find my center. The spiritual teaching has served as a foundation for my life since 2006.It's a lucky moment in life when you find that teacher and I encourage everyone who hasn't found theirs to keep looking. Bless you for this interview, it comes at a great time in itself. Thank you Mr. Seagal for this candid moment.
I had the pleasure of doing a Japanese commercial with Mr. Seagal way back in the 90's. He used me and one of the other stuntmen to block out the fight. After doing that, he asked me if I wanted to see the difference between his techniques for film and reality. He spent over half an hour working with me. I have always admired and respected him greatly. So glad to see you having him in your videos. He's the real deal. OSS!

While I value martial arts in all forms, and can appreciate the athleticism of MMA, I really prefer deeper conversations like this. I trained with a friend for 8 years who was a dedicated karateka (though he died a few years back) who would informally cross train with me. We often had serious talks like this which ranged from the mechanical/technical, to history and philosophy. These discussions take what most consider to be niche "hobbies" fitness routines, or purely self protection training and elevate the practice into something greater. True martial artists embrace this path as a permanent way of life and spiritual growth. Thank you for letting us participate in this discussion.
Very well said, be blessed with your training
@@JSMinstantcoaching thank you, and you as well.
Spot on !
Facts
Humble MMA fighters are rare. It's a slug-fest for punch-drunk show-offs.
Mr Seagal a advice at the end was very good advice and I really liked his answer to what he would like he would like to be remembered for. That was a very humble, responsible and caring answer. Your very lucky to have been able to spend time with him Jesse.
Jesse thank you for not being critical and allowing seagal to come out of his shell for us this is some of the best seagal footage in a long time
"Mercy is for after they're sleeping." Possibly the best quote ever from Seagal.
Quotes are pretty much all he's got these days.
@@neilrobertson811 Bro?
Started Karaté just one year ago; Jesse's videos are an amazing source to keep going and learning. Bravo for the interviews and showcase the individual masters. Great Editing and Pacing.

First time in many years that I've seen someone NOT trashing Steven Segal. Here we got to see some of his martial talents. Thank you.
This 2 part interview made us completely rethink everything we thought we knew about Segal. Such great work!
I come back to this every once in awhile, such a wholesome, respectful session from all parties involved. Osu.
Love what he said at the end about finding one good master. My Sifu is that master for me that he’s talking about. I’ve been a wing chun practitioner for 6 years now and will probably never quit practicing under him for any reason. His philosophy, guidance and the overall community and culture he’s built for his school has been a great pleasure to be apart of. Wing chun is a very misunderstood martial art but I’ve found so much benefit in learning it especially the internal style we have been learning in the past two years. We pressure test everything we learn in class and find out what works, and why it works and the results never cease to blow my mind.
Didn't have to scroll far to find the first Wing Chun guy. I'm not surprised, there's a lot of familiar looking moves in these 2 videos.
Who is your master? I am curious about wing chun and its teaching.
Ayy, Wing Chun! The school of kung fu I trained used some Wing Chun forms in training. We were Hung Gar (Tiger/Crane) mostly, but with a little bit of Mantis, and a bit of Wing Chun. Hope the new year is finding you well!
You can see the power of his technique. When he talks you sit down and listen.
The conversations with Steven was the best part. Many times we miss out on wisdom from a previous generation and their life journey and experiences.
it took like 40 years, but it's great to see Steven Segal finally decided to present himself like a nice gentleman.
_And..._ a legitimate martial artist.
This really endeared me to Steven Seagal to hear his calm spirit and sincere heart. So much better than all the jaded reporting from the mass media!!

@@KarmaFlight Yeah, look at Mike Tyson. He's a completely different person. People can change. 💡
@@kenlucas5474 Yes, his journey is fascinating to see.
I have watched this video over 5 times. Each time I watch it, I learn something new. Today, I just realized how Jesse synthesized an entire spiritual philosophy in just one phrase:
"...Because you only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough."
Thank you, again.
Never forget trying to live eternally (heaven) and not die eternally (hell).
You only live once and it's better if it's eternally.
Man, when I was growing up, Steven Seagal was one of my biggest heroes, and when people started talking bad about him it messed with me. It’s really awesome to see something where people aren’t just roasting him for being a bit cocky. I found your channel like 2 weeks ago, and I’ve just been eating it up. Great content bro
Couldn't agree more!
He trains for the buffet 😂😂😂😂
Never seen Seagal so real and humble. A different perspective.
Humble??😂
You're joking right?
What, was he sleeping?
"For every second that goes by, you could be... losing children."
Said once by so real and humble person, alright.
Thanks for uploading these videos. I feel everyone is an idiot on the internet, but the longer you are with someone (and in this case filmed) you begin to understand the other person better and realize you can always learn something new.
Well said! 😇
@@KARATEbyJesse Thank you, but you're the one who did the hard work and allowed this to be shown to the world. Much respect bro!

Everyone can said he is Liar but he will never be a Fraud as long as His Actions show it.

Thanks for every one in making these two videos. It’s made me see Steven Segal in a new light, or perhaps see him again in the same way as I did at the start of his first film, when I’d first started aikido.
The “one thing” that Steven Segal said he’d want to pass on at the end, about finding one teacher and including the philosophy is very very helpful.
He is a good man, and a great teacher. I feel very inspired. When ever I lose sight of myself in fear and addiction, there always is a hand extended from the East to remind me of who I am, and to focus on what is best. Steven was that hand today with his teaching. I need to find Zen.
Dear Mr. Enkamp,
I really wish to thank you for having shared this interview with Sensei Seagal. I've watched the to videos and I could feel and appreciate the spirituallity and the philosophy of Sensei Seagal: I think I could listen him for hours speaking, without interrupt him one single time.
Thank you very much.
I'm impressed with the skill on display here. Much different than all the other videos of him doing the same moves throwing people who are clearly going along with it. But here he actually shows some real stuff. Impressed.
They "go along with it" because you have to. If you don't know how to roll out of the techniques and break fall than you get hurt. I've done aikido and hapkido and a lot of the techniques are designed to hyper extend and dislocate joints and break bones.
It's the whole point of the showings. Obviously they aren't actually going to do the moves because they'd be breaking bones.
Wow... So many of you people just don't know a single thing about any martial arts, do you? When a teacher's students are "going along" with a technique, it's for their own safety because their arms and wrists may get broken very easily if they resist. They are simply done that way as a demonstration for students to learn them and learn to physically apply or escape the damage of those techniques. They have special rolls and falls designed to protect their wrists and arms, which is what students are taught to do. It's all part of the training. Just like a stuntman needs to prepare and practice before a stunt without actually doing the real stunt, before someone can use a martial arts technique, one has to first learn the technique through physical contact and simulation without actually getting into a real fight.
@@HowlingMoonCinemas Yea, that doesn't actually solve the issue of him never demonstrating his skills on anyone that's properly resisting.
@@bigchungus6827 Ok... so you would want to see people with broken arms in order to understand these techniques?
This is honestly where segal shines. Teaching legitimate, simple, effective self defense tips that are very easy to start practicing

Great interview, interaction, and conversation. A lot of respect. Very.much enjoyed.
Great interviews and interactions with SS. I can see that you all enjoyed it. SS showed a side that we do not see very often and it was great to see. I now have much more respect for him. Great job.
This is awesome, first time I have ever seen this side of Steven Seagal in a interview style type and in training with others. He was the man back in his prime, always enjoyed him and JCVD.
Jessie, that was fantastic interview. You showed class and professionalism by letting Steven talk and finish his thoughts. I'm positively surprised with the way it came out.
I wish from the bottom of my heart some day you do interview and training with my childhood hero - Jean Claude Van Dame.
Tooootaly agree! It would be amazing to see Van dame with jessie! Van Dame is the main reason why I got into martial arts. He was also my childhood hero.
Second this, I would love to see in depth discussion with JCVD. Love that guy.
I heard Jcvd challenged seagall to a fight once
Reading your comment i definitely feel old. Steven Seagal, Jean Van dame, Chuck Norris, Bruce Lee were my idols. Steven Seagal for the aikido style ( redistribution of power), Jean Van dame for the infamous back and front kick, chuck Norris (karaté) and The famous Bruce Lee ( all the combination of power into one deadly punch.) Without my other idol Jackie Chan. I watched all the movies growing up. Now, I definitely feel the Golden age 😂 lol
Very good series of videos. Thank you for sharing this. Steven Seagal truly does know what he's talking about. And his Japanese is also very good.
That just changed everything for me. Steven obviously knows his art. He's an old guy, loves to indulge etc so he's slow now but d'you know, as a teacher he is very impressive. Ignore the films, he's no actor but there is clearly some valuable knowledge to impart on a new generation. Great video.
Or watch them with new eyes.
Maybe a slow runner but did you see that kick to the lower abdomen in the first video? Phuuuh
Bren. Segal would throw you around like a rag doll bro.
That was cool. The media are trying to discredit Sensei Seagal, but he knows his stuff. Thank You for bringing the masterclass.
That was just brilliant, these two videos with Steven Segal were an absolute highlight and super interesting. The whole series with the search for the roots of karate with grandmasters in China was fantastic. Excellent videos
in general, always exciting and worth learning and interesting in terms of content. And you can tell that it comes from the heart and that the people who are interviewed enjoy it and are experts in their field. Thank you very much.
This was awsome guys. Seagal is no joke. This was a beautiful glimps of Seagal as Sensei. Your humility and respect has let us all learn from a master. Those knuckles! He has granite for bone in those hands. Those were some painfull lessons😊
Since I've been watching interviews of Seagal on youtube I've always seen people insulting him and saying bad things about him, but Seagal has something that captures your attention and you begin to love him as the genuine human being he is.
He was also an amazing action star back in the day.
i am 1 year late to the party but damn what a great video. Steven really seemed comfortable and chill throughout the whole thing, while at the same time displaying that he actually does have good technique and knowledge, and seems pretty deadly.
Man, you're making me like Segal again like the first time I watched "Above The Law".

The best interview with Steven Seagal by far. I actually regained some respect for him in regards as a teacher and martial artist with the details of the techniques. Whether I agree with him or not I can appreciate his dedication and learning.
It's just his movies that are absolutely abysmal and beyond awful. As a person, he's fine. We seem to conflate/confuse the actor for the person. You can be an awful actor starring in terribly cheezy movies (if you can even call them 'movies'), but that in no way reflects on the person.

I have a family member that worked with him years ago on a low budget film. He was miserable and rude. Everything you would think he would be. I appreciated this video, it allows the martial artist to shine where you don’t get to see that side of him. It balances things out. I was also a huge fan of him and his movies until he started imposing his will on the movies and they went down in quality.
Such an awesome video and demonstration. I remember learning CQB techniques at SRF training and being amazed at how well those control techniques work when executed properly. Much of the counters and controls he's showing require years of practice and muscle memory. But they really do work. It isn't bullshido. However, they are significantly harder to execute on another trained individual. Thank you for the interview here!
Great video guys! Thank you for reminding people that Steven is a multi-faceted human being and not some cartoon caricature who exists to be berated and mocked by others.
One thought that's sticking with me, after watching this interview, is that you never wanna mess with anyone, who's been perfecting their craft for 30, 40, let alone 60+ years! Personal opinion aside I have to respect that level of dedication and perseverance.
Words of wisdom should always be well received, especially if they are being given free of charge. Appreciate it.
This video changes everything from me. From now on I will rewatch every bizarre moment from Seagal not as if he is being serious, but as intentional comedy. Because here he seems serious and humble, probably the person he truly is.
It is because they are both respectful and knowledgable
I came away with the same thoughts.
He's a William Shatner type of guy. Develops a larger-than-life persona, and is around so long people have trouble separating it from anything else there is to him.
But of course you had to be somebody to even get in that position in the first place
Steven Segal: *i never lost a real fight*
Because he never had one
Don't care what anyone says about him, or the quality of his character...I still find him fascinating to watch and listen to in videos like this.
"Like any other human being, he was human." - Steven Seagal
"but with an extraordinary genius skill set-up" 😊
Great video, it really helped me finally place Segal in the martial arts world. If you deduct his celebrity status and all the silly antics that come about from that domain, he seems just fine just as an Aikido teacher. A very, VERY eccentric Aikido teacher who just loves to sneak in undertones of international superspy assasin when he talks, but also someone who's genuinely really in love with Aikido. Sure, you can say what you will about the martial art itself, how it struggles to find a place in combat sports or it's dubious practicality in self defense. Even if it's just for the sake of Aikido itself, you can't deny that he's really into it. For what it's worth, he'd make one hell of an interesting teacher.

So many people mock his skills, but had a friend who new him in Japan and had took films of him at his dojo. He was very good. Anyone that could start a dojo in Tokyo when he did had to be very good.

Hey Jesse..... I've been teaching for 46 years. My instructor taught 10 years (in America) before me. I can assure you, Steven Seagal is absolutely correct in the notion of keeping the elbow down, shoulders down, and lats down during a typical punch. There is no comparison (we've done every test we could think of over the years). Of course, there are other kinds of punches needed, but for a straight punch, this is the strongest, best support system for it.
Chest relaxed downward, back slightly convex, shoulders down, lats compress down into hips, and elbow is pointed down (instead of aiming at the side), change flat fist to an angle fist where the knuckles are tilted (leaving index finger knuckle higher than the little finger knuckle) -- the formula of a lifetime. Then, throw it relaxed -- like throwing your hand through the target instead of "focusing" on the target. Bullets don't focus, arrows don't focus, cannon balls don't focus; this punch should be thrown, not pushed. Great acceleration!
Peace...............
Agree 100%
Absolutely correct.
When you twist as in boxing, throwing the straight punch the top of your shoulder protects the chin, I’m no expert, just a thought 👍🇦🇺🍻
The basis of the 'Invisible Punch'...
@@dasmuss6174 I agree, that is a concern in boxing. But though that is part of boxing tactics (and works!) it can reduce throwing power if the chin is tucked too tight into the shoulder. It's a kind of trade off; lose a little power -- gain a bit of chin coverage. :)
When Steven Seagal is able to be a teacher and express his fighting knowledge, he's really awesome and incredibly nice
Not nice in being to soft to train I hope. I would like the brutal one on one lesson.

This is one of the best video I have seen from a good instructor. Many people or students learn and think they can use the lesson on someone else as a joke, Seagal is right. You are learning the philosophy and idea behind it. Not to kill as a sole purpose.
Jesse Enkamp never disappoints. Again another great video. Showing if you approach martial arts with an opne mind and open heart you can learn from anyone. Best interview of Segal I have ever seen.
Very well said, and it something I see with Jesse. He is willing to step out when others stand back to be so critical. That is the why all who practice the martial arts, and even, just self defense, need to do...be willing to step out and see the other person face to face.
This is like the Best genuine Video I seen about Seagal, I would Hang out with Him Any Day, you can learn a thing or two from his experience. Well Done Steven.
It's super refreshing to see Seagal in his actual element, no lies, no over the top action, no silent killer tropes. Just a master martial artist imparting techniques to a student, really wish he did more things like this. He would be much more respected if he did this, and stopped making movies after Executive Decision.

The "sliding walking style" was taught to me by my Sensei Josino from Ubatuba. São Paulo, Brazil.
The intention is to avoid being an easy target to low kicks , leg swapping techniques.
You're not going to block entirely your opponent's attacks , but it will make their attacks aiming your legs a lot more ineffective.
You will be able to better protect your whole body by denying your opponent or at least making it a lot more difficult for him to swap your legs.
You can also , by reflex and you find it fit , harden your leg in time for the incoming hit or take your foot out of his intended strike point.
First you have to learn to fall.
A whole Month being thrown around.
Then , you'll have to learn to walk correctly and efficiently.
Another Month .
Be patient because it pays off.
As boring as it is , it is useful.
Bravo Jesse & Co. I thoroughly enjoyed viewing this interview & demonstration.Great to hear and see Steven Seagull as he really is, a dedicated devoted martial artist with so much respect to and integrity.❤
😭WOW....
He showed so much Love and Joy
teaching these ideal pupils absorbing
his secrets after a life long search🙏
the fact that he actually held the camera for you to try your Makiwara, was a very very suprising humble moment. Seagal was my idol for many years. All the gossip about him going around in the american media made me lost faith in him but these two episodes show him as a fun and kind sensei. It feels so weird, but i feel his attitude here is legit.
So, its time to get Seagal to join the Expandables :) osu...
Man, last thing I'd trust is the media and what they think regarding a celebrity.
Segal seems like a real cool dude here
This is how he really is. I can see the interviewers (this channel owner) seems pretty refreshing and neutral and passionate, interested. You can see Steven admires that and is motivated to open up himself. I always thought Steven is exactly like he is in the video.
@@jackmarston2515 100% yes and people forget that. The Media is like a general file of whatever you did recorded and left for interpretation.
Jesse the karate nerd making the best aikido content out there
The two parts of this video was fantastic, thank you! People tend to think that Seagul is a fake but he did work very hard in Japan mastering the art from the age of 17.
Exactly
His training is legit. Now, his stories whole other thing never happen all things he says
@@HerogateEXE86 Bro.
I also love the spiritual perspective in martial arts. Therefore the ending "-do" in many styles (Judo, Aikido, Karatedo...) refers to the "Way" (of life) in Daoism (or Taoism).
Thank you very much for sharing your dedication with us Jesse! I appreciate that. 🙏🙂
Trained in his LA dojo twice decades ago (before leaving for Japan) but his assistant Matsuoka sensei taught. Aikido - in the main - is aimed at developing better humans: body, mind and spirit via the rigorous drilling of martial arts techniques (I know 3 generations of Ueshibas) and yet it is also an applied martial art, if practiced at a sufficiently vigorous and comprehensive way. It's not that complicated. But in an increasingly binary world where an issue or thing is *ALL* this way or *ALL* that way, people struggle to comprehend context or nuance.
Thank you,Segal has so much negative press,its refreshing to see a vid like this. Ty again
Wow! The video changes my image of Steven Seagal once more! As a child I loved him in his movies, later I have heard stories about him beeing an imposter and this video shows his skills once again. Thank you Jesse!🙏
My pleasure! 🙌
amazing how haters can go to extremes to destroy what they can't have from others.
Did you see his knuckles??? Ok, first thanks for the video. Awesome stuff. Second, I don't care what ANYBODY says about this guy: he has punched... something... many, many thousands of times. He's practicing something. A lot. And watching the way he moves, at his age... I would not f*(k with this guy. Ever.
It's very clear that he's not practicing a sport. He's not doing situps and jogging to prepare for a 15 minute, 5 round fight. He's preparing to incapacitate an opponent in seconds with no rules except "the survivor wins."
Much respect for him, regardless of how he looks and his weight. Much respect to you guys for being honest, open mindend and respectful of a man regardless of his "reputation."
You're a class act and a credit to the martial arts. Bravo.

I full agree with your statement
so he knows how to fight without being able to move? Guy is stiffer than a bamboo. In a fight he would just bend over and fall like a tree after one punch (from himself). He is probably already waiting for his hip replacement. I love the guy, he was my hero as a kid, but reality kicks in at some point.
@@TheTuborgen I would agree if it weren't for the placement of his feet on top of his opponent's. Look again. If that level of precision and practice doesn't impress you, I have nothing I can say that will sway you.
100% agree there’s a difference between sport and bravado, which is what most people understand and then actual eliminating opponent as efficiently and as quick as possible to never bother anyone else again that’s another level
I have gained a new level of respect for Steven Seagal after watching these videos. Thanks for sharing.
Mr. Seagal is very Hands On. That's the best way to learn.
