Steven Seagal reveals fight secrets you don't see in movies! These Aikido and Karate techniques are used in MMA (mixed martial arts) by famous UFC fighters. Because the samurai did NOT practice submission grappling - like BJJ or modern Jiu-jitsu does. Watch until the end so you don't miss the best part!
I trained 24 hours with Steven Seagal. He gave me a 'makiwara' (punching board) to condition my hands & knuckles. Although Aikido is not famous for striking, Sensei Seagal practices a martial art based on Japanese Jiu-jitsu. This includes punches and kicks. But unlike Brazilian Jiujitsu (BJJ), it doesn't involve submission grappling. Because the last place a samurai wants to be on the battlefield is the ground... Watch until the end for an epic surprise!
I've got to say..... that was a lot better than I was expecting!
I mean, he drifts off into mad conspiracy theory nonsense towards the end (as expected), but the bit where he talked about being non telegraphic was actually..... not bad.....
But, I think it's really important to watch this video straight after you've watched the Karate Nerd episode, just to get your perspective back - lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQ3vZxr8sl4

Quite good. The story about the girl at the tournament is cautionary indeed.

Another powerful man who thinks he is Above the Law.
Sorry couldn't resist...
Interesting what he was saying about ground fighting. Seems that here in the US when a fight goes to the ground and someone starts "to win" other people step in.

Many people asked me to breakdown Steven Seagal's meeting with @Jesse Enkamp asking if the techniques he demonstrated are effective and if the theory he presented is legit. Here's my breakdown, one relying on my decade of Aikido training, gathered knowledge from top self defense experts and my combat sports experience.
00:00 Is Steven Seagal's "Aikido" effective? 00:28 The best technique of Steven Seagal 00:44 Steven Seagal's punches are better 01:11 Steven Seagal's haymaker defense 01:40 Questionable striking defense? 02:05 The legendary front kick of Steven Seagal 02:43 Why these techniques are questionable 03:30 Steven Seagal's powerful punch 04:05 Does this takedown work? 04:29 Aikido takedown defense 05:03 Revolutionary fighting stance 05:49 Stepping on opponent's foot 06:11 Striking with the side of the hand 06:32 Deadly fingers 07:01 Severing the brain stem 07:31 Ending the fight immediately 07:42 Not training ground fighting 08:50 Aggressive Aikido style and why it makes sense 09:31 Teaching secret techniques 10:31 Teaching deadly techniques 11:34 Attacking first 12:08 Dealing with the law after attacking first 12:51 Outsmarting your opponent 13:24 Summary
Steven Seagal is my kung fu uncle in the Kenny Gong system. He trained privately with Master Gong for years after losing a challenge match. He co-wrote a terrible novel with my martial uncle that ventures into cowboys and Indians and the deep state.

What does he say about "Indians?"
Curious what he thinks of my people.
Actually nevermind...

At what point in life do you let things go?
Funny he talks down the US and now lives in Putin's Russia.
The US is far from perfect but Russia?
Seagal sought Russian citizenship after a few sex scandals came to light. Russia because they gave him citizenship and allow him to come when the US authorities come knocking for him. As far as the whole Indian thing, hell if I know - I can barely stand to be around most of my kung fu family when they start talking about politics or other subjects as I'm an Anarcho-Communist and they are mostly fascists wrapped in the US flag.
Steven Seagal taught Karate expert and youtuber @Jesse Enkamp some aikido. As a former aikido instructor I decided to break down and analyze what makes sense and what doesn't from what Seagal taught.
00:00 Does trapping the arms work? 00:38 Manipulating the fingers 01:22 The danger behind Aikido's footwork 02:58 Can you catch a leg like that? 04:20 Punching a kicking leg 06:15 Horizontal fist vs vertical fist 08:47 Conditioning the fists - pros and cons 09:23 Poking the eyes and Aikido wristlocks 10:37 The body-language of lying 11:30 Telegraphing punches and questioning Kata 12:07 Steven Seagal and real fighting 12:55 Conclusions
