This is a demonstration.

@@Realest636 and this is sarcasm 🙄

@@peterb2272 fair enough.

Yes, it's a kind of ballet, a choreography 🩰 ! 😊

說得好，確實如此啊！

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.

It’s only good for the movies

🤣🤣🤣🤣

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.

this not real fight, this is show

@@georgikolev7545 I never said I believed it was real.

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 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 Shouldn’t hate someone you don’t know; shouldn’t hate period!

@@krillinroshi9312 I shouldn't, but he's so unbearable 😂

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???

Men prancing about in silly skirts and frocks 😂

😂😂

5 years later I am still laughing at the most retarded comment I have ever seen

You know this is not actual aikido fighting? This is just a presentation for normal people to show techniques

@@WuchtaArt You know that the part with Steven Seagal looks staged even for a staged event?

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.

@@WuchtaArt Aikido fighters would get mauled in an open freestyle fighting match.

Demonstration not a fight.

+Von Milash I only know moderately, two akido moves and can't even spell them correctly..Kotegashi and Sankyo,,maybe I did get them correct. Point is, I get you in either of them, opposition or not,,,you will make noises that you didn't know were possible.

+Von Milash It's even more effective against guys who not only offer no resistance but also guys who jump with and accentuate the moves done to them. It's unparalleled against opponents who cooperate with you.

+Von Milash The whole concept of resisting/nonresisting opponents shows complete ignorance of what Aikido is. The entire design of Aikido is to give ground until the opponent over extends and CAN'T resist. The ignorant argument assumes the point of Aikido in a real situation is to perform a technique, which is completely not what Aikido is designed for. If you get into an altercation and never actually have to use an Aikido technique (other then positioning) then it was a successful encounter. This is completely lost on small minded people who fantasize most encounters end with someone getting beat down; that is almost never how a spontaneous fight resolves.

bverji I don't know which of Mr. Rodgers' friendly neighborhoods you grew up in, or where you hang out, but I've seen plenty of fights and very few DIDN'T end up with someone getting lumped up or worse.

+James Reese IAgain I am talking about spontaneous fights not prearranged fights. Most real fights end before the cops come and last less then a minute.

But nothing more than a show..... He would never stand against a real fighter

He's been a cop for like 47 years.

You'd think he'd be good at it by now....

🤣

Except Aikido is a joke and shouldn’t be taken seriously.

@@dooolaay Only by those too stupid to understand it. Hope you never meet an expert.

@@spidermoon3574 i think he's being sarcastic

@Nutella Ninja Unfortunately he's not. And that stupid video has idiots thinking Jon Jones wouldn't break everything in Seagals body.

Kroder Sesam he is truly awesome but I would like to see him in better shape he has let him self go.

lol

Almost like it’s fake!

😱😱😱

lmfao

Outstanding comment, sir.

You think someone wants a roundhouse kick to the head when I'm wearing these bad boys?! Forget about it!

Bow to your sensei. BOW TO YOUR SENSEI!

Break the wrist, walk away.

Even baby arm bas would ruin seagal

Sure

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.

Brock Lock uhm stfu 😂

By not bowing (or barely bowing), it shows that he is the person with more power or authority. At least, that is how it is done in Japan.

Derukugi2 Lmao! :D

+Derukugi2 he's going bald, like most men. Why is this an issue for you?

KVPD I dont know if his is bold. I know he looks friggin ridiculous.

+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...

Solo777 He didn't bow, the ground came up to meet his head. 0:06

you must rearn Disciprine!

Monk D Q: and, do you know WHY they call it Eskreema? A: because when you get heet weeth steeck, the intense pain make'a you eSKREEMA REALLY LOUD!

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 noticed that, also. It is extremely disappointing.

+Hippy(Bboomer) Simple answer is any martial arts that isn't akido works...

+Hippy(Bboomer) This is more able to be called a dance than a real world applicable martial arts man. In a real street style, no rules fight it is truly impossible to claim one martial art technique is superior to another, so long as it's not this bullshit.

+kr4yzi32k It kinda works dude. Many people can't use it but I can. I've done on peeps. Dropped them on their skulls! Crack!! WHack! How many Aikido classes have you done? Thought so, so shut the fuck up!
