Steven Seagal was a legit badass from 1988-1992

He sucks as a person, but did make a handful of good action films. Jesse Enkamp (Karate nerd) made this video with Seagal, and while he isn't a modern UFC fighter, his particular aikido style seems more practical than a lot of people expected - and even as a fat, 70+ year old, he can still move a bit.

He is still a douche, though.

 

[Van Daz]

A great run you say?

Ha, ha....I always thought his run was funny....

 

[KnightTemplar]

If it would not do shit why do people practice it defenetly not just for kicks.

Because everyone wanna go Heaven, but no one wanna die.

 

[KnightTemplar]

Just stop

quit making moronic threads already. you are certainly the stereotypical Seattle tard. Just shut the fuck up

Seagal is designed for people, especially Sherdoggers to hate.
The guy is 6"4, looks like an action man doll and was doing martial arts before it became mainstream, was banging prime Kelly LeBrock for a decade and is now married to some Mongolian dancer 30 years younger than him.

Its not really possible for the average male to like him.
You are right that he was however a legit badass at one time who made good movies for about a decade.
Even some of his later ones have their occasional moments.


He is a consequence of living in his own reality, both the benefits of it and then the ridiculousness and deludedness of it as shown the last 20 years of his unintential comedy life.

Please. Unless he can Bench teh 275, Seagal still doesn't qualify for Sherdog membership.

Someone claiming their aikido is legit is the equivalent of them claiming their voodoo is legit.

"I'll teach you real kung fu!"

I prefer Seagulls. They're funnier.

It's funny because the proper pronunciation of Seagal is actually the same as "Seagull". He made the "official" way to pronounce Seagal up.

In 1993 Steve got fat

 

[I Am Legion]

Always loved the 73 Stang from marked for death. The flat rear window and low stance was mean AF.

Yeah, he’s a big guy. And that’s why he has been able to bully stuntmen and other actors so easily “using Aikido training.” But if you ever watched Michael Jai White’s interview on Vlad TV, Seagal very predictably didn’t try shit with him.

Not all stuntmen....


Anyway, during judo randori at a new club years ago my partner (who was a an aikido black belt) and clearly frustrated that he couldn't do anything to me, attempted to use some aikido "throws"/off balancing techniques...

I osoto'd the shit out of him.

 

[Phlog]

He banged Kelly LeBrock enough to have a kid with her so he's basically my hero.

I hate to say it but I think he gets a pass lads.

Some of the simplest holds in aikido are extremely painful and can shred tendons. You've definitely never experienced aikido.

Unless it's a social thing, then Aikido is a waste of time and will most likely do more harm than good by giving the "practitioner" the belief that they will somehow be effective in a self defence situation. Yes I have experience. I don't mean to burst your bubble, that's just reality.

Yeah, Aikido, Kung Fu, and all the other bullshit martial arts are a grift to convince people that they can train you to fight without you actually having to practice fighting, and without you actually having to endure physical pain.

 

[tomjones]

Seagal gets alot over hate in mma communities, but you can't deny that he's a master of his art. (And I'm not talking about acting)

I feel like the proven combat arts by their own "train as you fight" nature bring a more realistic mindset: yes as a WB you have more technique than your average guy on the street, but size, strength and aggressiveness can make your 2 stripes mean jack shit if things go down.

 

[mungos]

Peculiar thing with his movies, Seagul always completely dominates his enemies, they hardly land a punch.

 

[KnightTemplar]

His finest movie.

Doesn't get much better than her in her prime. The 80s had maybe the best looking actresses an models ever.
