Even though I laughed, it's like you're not even trying here.
TS is the unfun storm trooper. I thought it was a great post.

Could you imagine if some tough guy who trains UFC saw machida or his brother at the beach practicing his kata and started shit with him?
But bet your fucking life when someone catches a punch and throws a guy down really hard twisting his shoulder and ending the fight, then people will start respecting aikido.
The thing about seagal is cause he's an actor and an asshole of sorts.

Anderson said he didn't train him

^ Bearknuckle,
Don't lump Judo into the same category as the other martial arts.
Judo is real, because their techniques are constantly tested in real sparring and full-contact competitions.
isn't aikido mostly small joint manipulation?
That stuff isn't allowed in the ufc.
Whether he "helps" any of those fighters is questionable, but what annoys me is that he tries to take way too much credit. He taught Anderson Silva how to throw a front kick? Yea, OK. I learned that on day 1 of TKD.
Judo, karate, and Tae Kwon do were all bullshit martial arts too before they werent. Mma fans just try to be all better than everyone too. Being closed minded is harmful to the sport. People always think they have all the techniques figured out and that anything they havent seen doesnt exist or doesnt work.
I mean, i always thought jumping kicks were just for van damme and karate kid movies too. Until machida and pettis made me rethink it.
I also thought spinning shit was fancy for movies but with no substance too. Until i saw bones fuck plenty of "top mma fighters" with them.
But then i was like ok, spinning backfists and elbows may work, but no way do those spinning kicks work. Then i saw edson barboza knock a guy out with one. Then cung le does spinning shit constantly and fucks dudes up!
Then i thought sure maybe those regular spinning kicks work but not those ridiculous capoeira kicks. They
were just bullshit dance fighting crap. Then i saw some dude do like 3 spins and knock a guy out with it.
So then i go to a kung fu class and saw some bullshit instructor teach some upward elbow while his student stood there and took it. Im like no way does that work on a pro fighter who is in his stance and ready for it. Then anderson silva does that shit to a seasoned vet.
But then i realized that those aikido tosses and misdirection throws would never work in a real fight...to be continued...
My point was the reason why fighters dont do that aikido shit is because they dont fucking try. They train almost 100% on the shit they already know. So thats why u dont see it as often.

Also seagal movies suck
its hilarious how he slaps his shoulder everytime he throws a punch or kick. understanding of its intricacies and effectiveness only come with the 7th degree.
I normally appreciate your posts and input, but judging by this video, Segal is a god among men.
I am just saying, I'd rather train with this guy:

That's why Sonnen lost.... Jones' toe was off the mat, he couldn't be KO'd.
Yes they do but for some reason I always watch them when they're on tv. Dude never loses a fight in his movies (like irl)

This was so hilarious and so Steven Segal.
