i just can't help but think that this whole aikido thing is BS, sure is better than nothing, also Seagal has gone from young, skinny, zero muscles to overweight since "under siege" 1 and 2, so how does that fits into the discipline of martial arts?? look at him here, look at his belly, he looks like he binged in miller highlife and hotdog leading up to this show, he did these take downs millions of time, he ask the guys "grab me here", you can see that, also he seems like bored, like doing errands like folding his laundry, it's such bs, sure the guy would kick my ass and yours but does he stand a chance against a 250 pound of muscle jiu jitsu or kickboxer?? i don't think so, i think the guy is just a lazy ass, that can't control his eating, he was accused of sexual assault countless times and he told for decades lies about working for the CIA, etc, the guy is a total disgrace, a clown.
This is a demonstration. I understand your point though. Martial arts are different that street fights in so far--and especially with Aikido-- as their aesthetic, philosophic, moral and martial dimensions. The principles (or Katas) in action among opponents are a language and communication which might resemblance a dance because, in the overall, the philosophical and moral principle is to harmonise during confrontation, never using force against force. Aikido, among many things, is about blending, getting off-line of the attack and knowing how to fall. Therefore, the purpose of the dance-like movements you see it is not self expression but self-defence. Flow and rolling are techniques to avoid injury and pain. Knowing when to fall and when to stop resisting can save you an arm. And yes, it works in the street.
The secret to Steven Seagal's technique is that he first imagines that all his adversaries are carrying a donut. So he tackles them, and disarms the imaginary donut safely without letting it fall to the ground. Truly a marvelous martial artist.
Hey !! My friend also told me, aikido has gone by the wayside...At least a 3rd degree in shorin ryu, like my friend, could ACCIDENTALLY put ANYONE, including the biggest MMA fighters in the ICU...Intentionally, would be worse..Permanentely damage, dislocate everything is what I admit many forms of karate can do...Peace !!
Haha like he owns the fucking place since two dudes who are twice his physical aptitude chose to play along in this Bollywood style presentation of BS fighting skills. And they probably had to play along or else the Russian Secret Service would have cut off their Johnsons.
I love the flow of Aikido in contrast to the stiffness of Karate. Many of these joint locks and takedowns are also used in Filipino Martial Arts and Chinese Kung Fu. What I like about Aikido guys is they know how to fall and prevent themselves from serious injury. In many ways they are like stuntmen like Jackie Chan.
I fucking hate the guy but aikido works, heavily used in Krav maga. It isn't always the ideal martial art to use but isn't by any means fake if that's what you were insinuating
Benjamin Psarris “Always look at the bright side of life!” We share the best of ourselves; anything less then that; then its incumbent on the audience to filter out the unnecessary bias due to any visual shortcomings from ones fellow man; Segal is clearly a master of his craft despite the vitriol; i would love any one of his haters to face off with him???
Since when do attackers not grab wrists? There are a multitude of martial arts that have counters against forearm and wrist grabs. In saying that it is a downside to aikido, it has no defense against a punch.

The problem with Sensei Seagal master of Aikido was this: bu the end of the 90s, he had reached all his goals: he earned a black belt, had married twice ( one with the woman in red ), had kids became an action hero and made millions, that's why he let himself go and started eating, that's my theory, his drive faided, bear in mind he made his first movie at 37,ne was already a master, married twice with kids, when he got rich and famous 10 years later had nothing left to prove
Парни показали прекрасную подготовку и эффективную и разнообразную техникку. А Сигал.... Просто актер. Уходы с линии атаки и джиу джитсу с болевыми на кисть..... Невежа. Даже ушёл не поблагодарив оппонентов.
I've heard of Aikido masters so deadly, they can take down _5 attackers_ at once... so long as they all stick to repeatedly lunging and trying to grab you. You know, because that's how most fights go down, after all. Legend has it, some Aikidoka can even take down an attacker armed with fresh fruit!
Guaranteed Seagal gets that last piece of Cake 🎂 at the buffet........don't do it, don't even try to reach for it when Seagal has laser beamed his eyes on that last piece!!!!!!!!!!!!
Funny how there is absolutely NO footage of a legit Steven Seagal Aikido fight anywhere. The UFC should make an over 45 division where guys like Seagal could fight someone like..uhm I dunno, Bas Rutten!!
How many UFC fighters would step in a ring with no rules? Throat strikes, eye gouging, wrist brakes, sternum cracking? I would like to see how many would fight someone like steven on the street with no rules but only fists and feet.
SASR Commander Actually many UFC fighters were brought up in rough areas e.g. in Brazil and have had numerous fights in the street no rules. I'm sure Steve could handle an average guy in the street but a pro athlete UFC fighter trying to hurt him he would be unlikely to stop. Look at demos of Aikido on here you never see them pulling of some throw or lock against someone really trying to Box them or take them down or Muay Thai kick them etc. In demos when they defend kicks or punches - a punch is leave the arm out technique and defence against kicks usually traditional Karate kicks. If you do Aikido back it up with other arts at least an art with strong striking.
Everybody is commenting on Seagal nowadays. Well, this guy 1. Really devoted his life to martial arts and was a professional trainer in Aikido for many years before he went Hollywood (whether you like it or not) 2. He is known to be a very well trained Aikido practitioner (whether you like Aikido or not) 3. He made a career out of it, and I am pretty sure he was not chosen for his looks and acting capabilities 4. What have the rest of you done in Martial arts? I have been practicing all my life in Martial Arts and one thing I learned out of it is to NEVER judge what another man is doing, just focus on yourself and your technique. And you can learn something from anybody, even from a beginner....A good question from a new student has made me think on a technique and effectiveness more than any other circumstance in my life.
The first thing I notice in the video (and during any match too) is if the opponent bows out of respect for him/herself, ppl around you, and dojo...which Mr Segal DIDN'T. Could he have forgotten?...possibly But the counter argument is that he's been practicing since he has a teenager if not younger. Just an observation, not judging the man.
Seagal was actually great at one time and earned a place in that being said. He certainly worked hard to obtain his stature. Boy has he let himself go....that is 100 pound weight gain and he is 6'5" inch tall, I met him, not to be taken to easily.
People say it's fake because of the rolls they do afterwards. To roll is one of the things you learn first, if they didn't something would break. Try a simple wrist lock and turn on someone, they will stay static and if you apply pressure it will pop or break. Do that to someone who is trained they will move or roll to get back control of the wrist.
How is it Segal became this Aikido celeb? When we see him in these videos he's treated like a rock stasr. We never see him being thrown around. It's not like he's a 10th dan. The master of all masters. :) And this is one of his later appearances. Gained some weight. They're all going with the flow. Or risk injury...which I saw in a local Aikido demo decades ago. Happens.
Steven seagal really made it look easy. At next i propose, stevens opponent should try to throw steven seagal, only as a demonstration. No idea how that will work out...
Very good point. it was disrespectful to skip the bow. also, to be honest, his technique is very sloppy. i know he is older now, but compare this to a video of Morihei Ueshiba in his later years. O-sensei kept great form and balance long after he was grey. Another person commented here that they can't really spar like in boxing, which is true, but the point of practicing is to build musscle memory. Segal is a recognized name, but he looks like he can barely walk in this video. I'd like to see him drop 50 lbs and get fit again. I wish him good luck.
I wish one of these guys would break the script and instead of running at him with their arms down or with their arms stretched out, they would throw actual punches and kicks. Or heaven forbid actually do a double leg takedown and then beat the shit out of him.
Nice choreography. I think most of us used to do something similar as kids with our friends, what boy didn't pretend to be a ninja at some point? This is the same thing, but with a higher level of production. Even seasoned martial artists know this isn't realistic in an actual fight. It's a neat demonstration, but that's all it is.
Before reading any comments, I can imagine people who have never been on the mat with a practitioner of aikido or join a painful lesson with a club will slag and laugh at the effectiveness of this stunning art.
i just can't help but think that this whole aikido thing is BS, sure is better than nothing, also Seagal has gone from young, skinny, zero muscles to overweight since "under siege" 1 and 2, so how does that fits into the discipline of martial arts?? look at him here, look at his belly, he looks like he binged in miller highlife and hotdog leading up to this show, he did these take downs millions of time, he ask the guys "grab me here", you can see that, also he seems like bored, like doing errands like folding his laundry, it's such bs, sure the guy would kick my ass and yours but does he stand a chance against a 250 pound of muscle jiu jitsu or kickboxer?? i don't think so, i think the guy is just a lazy ass, that can't control his eating, he was accused of sexual assault countless times and he told for decades lies about working for the CIA, etc, the guy is a total disgrace, a clown.
OH my GOD!!! I don't know why I went down to read comments, now I regret. Let's make it clear: AIKIDO IS NOT FAKE, IT'S A REAL MARTIAL ART, SOMETHING SO REAL AND AMAZING! If you don't belive it, go and take a class, but please - SHOW SOME RESPECT. Thank you.
+rainmechanic Nonsense, you just have NO CLUE what your looking at. JiuJitsu is its OWN style so of course they have little in common, Jiujitsu is a GROUND game Aikido is a totally different ball park.
One thing that is wrong here... he must have shown respect to his oponents before the demonstration has started. He ia the star here we know, but you must show some respect. However, he is still one of the best aikidokas ever!
If people have nothing good to say, just keep it to your self guys. This are legit moves if you know how to use them. I studied aikido for a decade, and i’ve used these moves in real fights mulitple times. The attackers were begging for their lives after I dislocated their wrist and shoulders.
In any real competitive fight - in any discipline martial art etc, the fight will involve elements of struggle. In this "demo," there is zero struggle; the moves are as choreographed as in WWW
Mathew Ridyard you realize that the whole point of Aikido is to blend and flow with your enemies movements and use their energy against them so that there is no struggle and the defender can use as minimal energy as possible. getting into a force on force struggle is stupid (in my opinion) and low level (compared to high level masters).
I agree 100% any one who has ever been in a real fight competition or not has got to struggle at least to some degree anyway everything thing I saw was closer to dancing with falls than any form of actual aikido match... Scripted as movie!
Nicely put logan, I understand the point of aikido, but until you show me a video of Segal against a top cage fighter brushing them off like they were mosquitos, I don't buy any of this.
Story is a MYTH! Gene Lebelle will say & do anything to enhance his pretend tough guy image. Ron Balicki who knows both & has worked with them said it is nonsense & completely untrue! When the Gracies challenged Gene Lebell he shit his pants and made many excuses not to fight them!
***** Actually Gracies challenged Gene Lebell = Gene shat his pants realizing his fake tough guy image would get exposed. So he offered to fight Helio Grace rather than Rorion, Rickson or Royce. Gene claims to be 'The Toughest Man Alive' = gets one legit challenge and poos his pants. If attacked in the street you think 'oh my age' is a worthy excuse? Look at the way Gene moves, The Mummy moves better he may be physically strong but as an athlete he is nothing and a weak striker. You talk sheer flatulence, I stick to fact! Go look on here Hayward Nishioka sparring with Rickson Gracie, Hayward is top Judo guy and 20+ years older than Rickson yet he had no problem sparring him but Gene pooed his pants at the mere thought of getting exposed as a pretend tough guy.
People like to missunderstand this on a regular basis. Aikido is not competetive in first place. The teaching isn't about winning a fight, but about creating balance. Of course you can't stand a chance agains pro-fighters, because that not what it's meant to be. Its more philosophy then actual martial-arts
Amazing how they put their hand in exactly the right position and the right angle to be grabbed. It's almost as if they practiced it!
Cause those things can break your arms and articulation if not done in a certain way
This is a demonstration.

I wish one of these guys would break the script and instead of running at him with their arms down or with their arms stretched out, they would throw actual punches and kicks. Or heaven forbid actually do a double leg takedown and then beat the shit out of him.
Edgy.
一切都是配合好的表演，如有參與的表演者不配合的話，那就好笑了啊！哈哈
Nice choreography.
I think most of us used to do something similar as kids with our friends, what boy didn't pretend to be a ninja at some point? This is the same thing, but with a higher level of production. Even seasoned martial artists know this isn't realistic in an actual fight. It's a neat demonstration, but that's all it is.
I'm 30 yrs old and still do pretend karate
@@breandadavis3168 me too. I even try to convince gullible people by making the stupid noises too 🤣
I am a Steven seagal fan no matter what so if he is like he is still can sling people around 😎
Seagal has left the building……and heading for a fast food.
Steven Segal is to Russians, as David Hasselhoff is to Germans😂😂😂
Aikido means "physical control and domination over the ex-wives in your life"
😱😱😱
В зале бокса или на борцовском ковре надо показывать мастер классы там сразу все понятно будет или лудьше в зале муай тай
Soglassen, nu boxer s rukami a aikidoist s mechom. Sprovidliva, potomushta aikido eta systema fixtovanie v pervoy ocheredi. Togda vse ponatno budit.
kovu meno mestras aikido super
guys, its just a demonstration, not a real fight, he is what he is, an actor, you can't judge a martial art or fighting system, based off one dude
Before reading any comments, I can imagine people who have never been on the mat with a practitioner of aikido or join a painful lesson with a club will slag and laugh at the effectiveness of this stunning art.
Never worry about imbeciles showcasing their stupidity; Steven Segal is a master of his craft; who needs validity from morons!
Let's see how they handle John Cena then
i just can't help but think that this whole aikido thing is BS, sure is better than nothing, also Seagal has gone from young, skinny, zero muscles to overweight since "under siege" 1 and 2, so how does that fits into the discipline of martial arts?? look at him here, look at his belly, he looks like he binged in miller highlife and hotdog leading up to this show, he did these take downs millions of time, he ask the guys "grab me here", you can see that, also he seems like bored, like doing errands like folding his laundry, it's such bs, sure the guy would kick my ass and yours but does he stand a chance against a 250 pound of muscle jiu jitsu or kickboxer?? i don't think so, i think the guy is just a lazy ass, that can't control his eating, he was accused of sexual assault countless times and he told for decades lies about working for the CIA, etc, the guy is a total disgrace, a clown.
When you need a good laugh.. Watch Steven Seagal Aikido videos! 🤣
OH my GOD!!! I don't know why I went down to read comments, now I regret.
Let's make it clear:
AIKIDO IS NOT FAKE, IT'S A REAL MARTIAL ART, SOMETHING SO REAL AND AMAZING!
If you don't belive it, go and take a class, but please - SHOW SOME RESPECT.
Thank you.

INTERNATIONAL SUPERHERO FOR THE PAST 30 ODD YEARS CAN =FLIP! THE BEST TRAINED "PERSONNEL"IN THE WORLD !!!
I’ve been in a few fights. I wish I’d known that grabbing your opponent’s arm loosely renders his other arm useless. Fascinating technique. 🙄
This looks choreographed
+KhaoNeu Thats because it is.... Aikido has more in common with the Jim Jones than it does with JiuJitsu..
+rainmechanic Nonsense, you just have NO CLUE what your looking at. JiuJitsu is its OWN style so of course they have little in common, Jiujitsu is a GROUND game Aikido is a totally different ball park.
I mean it is a demonstration....
So....
No shit...
😂😂😂😂works great when they work with you. The wwe of martial arts
love the form, the dance and the fluidity of the take down! just beautiful. an exhibition for sure but people love watching it, myself included
One thing that is wrong here... he must have shown respect to his oponents before the demonstration has started. He ia the star here we know, but you must show some respect. However, he is still one of the best aikidokas ever!
If people have nothing good to say, just keep it to your self guys. This are legit moves if you know how to use them. I studied aikido for a decade, and i’ve used these moves in real fights mulitple times. The attackers were begging for their lives after I dislocated their wrist and shoulders.
That's some Bushitsu for ya!
In any real competitive fight - in any discipline martial art etc, the fight will involve elements of struggle. In this "demo," there is zero struggle; the moves are as choreographed as in WWW
Mathew Ridyard WWE?
Yes:)
Mathew Ridyard you realize that the whole point of Aikido is to blend and flow with your enemies movements and use their energy against them so that there is no struggle and the defender can use as minimal energy as possible. getting into a force on force struggle is stupid (in my opinion) and low level (compared to high level masters).
I agree 100% any one who has ever been in a real fight competition or not has got to struggle at least to some degree anyway everything thing I saw was closer to dancing with falls than any form of actual aikido match... Scripted as movie!
Nicely put logan, I understand the point of aikido, but until you show me a video of Segal against a top cage fighter brushing them off like they were mosquitos, I don't buy any of this.
Judo Jean Labelle made Steven Segal shit his pants😂
Story is a MYTH! Gene Lebelle will say & do anything to enhance his pretend tough guy image. Ron Balicki who knows both & has worked with them said it is nonsense & completely untrue! When the Gracies challenged Gene Lebell he shit his pants and made many excuses not to fight them!
CloudsBeyond That's weird, because I have seen home footage of him taking on two of the Gracie's in their prime. Gracie's did not win
***** Actually Gracies challenged Gene Lebell = Gene shat his pants realizing his fake tough guy image would get exposed. So he offered to fight Helio Grace rather than Rorion, Rickson or Royce. Gene claims to be 'The Toughest Man Alive' = gets one legit challenge and poos his pants. If attacked in the street you think 'oh my age' is a worthy excuse? Look at the way Gene moves, The Mummy moves better he may be physically strong but as an athlete he is nothing and a weak striker. You talk sheer flatulence, I stick to fact! Go look on here Hayward Nishioka sparring with Rickson Gracie, Hayward is top Judo guy and 20+ years older than Rickson yet he had no problem sparring him but Gene pooed his pants at the mere thought of getting exposed as a pretend tough guy.
+CloudsBeyond Gene labelled is noted for telling tales.
Love the music.
I go to every Steven Seagal video that shows up on my feed.....just to read the comments.
Aikido is extremely effective when your opponent allows you to do anything that you want.
drumdad124 🤣😂😄🤣😂
The early days of UFC exposed all the Mcmartial arts.
So why aren't there any Aikido Champions in the UFC?
People like to missunderstand this on a regular basis. Aikido is not competetive in first place. The teaching isn't about winning a fight, but about creating balance. Of course you can't stand a chance agains pro-fighters, because that not what it's meant to be. Its more philosophy then actual martial-arts
+aidakensuke Doing yoga and ballet train your balance and are more practical for combat than Akido.
you an idiot
cuz its not offensive art
Why aren't there any krav maga champions in the UFC?
Здорово, молодец Сигал!
Campionato di Aikido con presenza di Steven Seagal!
