Seagal is a quadruply ultimate grandshaman of aikido. “Aikido” translates roughly to “way of the harmonious spirit.” Combat in aikido is centered around using your opponent’s own force against him. When you watch high-level demonstrations, it’s one grand master in the center of 50 aikido lunatics. They take turns sprinting at him and when each of them gets close, something subtle causes them to front flip. Suspiciously, this front flip-causing ability only seems to work against people who are voluntarily practicing aikido with you. Against regular people, it only seems to be very unpleasant on your joints. And against soup, it’s practically useless.
