Seagal was smart; he adapted the best aikido techniques to his physique - in particular, the ones most suited to his height, reach and strength. He made aikido his own. There's a lesson that for all martial artists - whatever art you are struggling to master, make it your own.
Thanks for the video, I enjoyed it very much. Many many years ago I had the pleasure of studying for a few months in Steven's dojo in North Hollywood. Of course I was working with his junior instructors, but sometimes he would come in and work with us. One day he chose me to try and hit him. There was no faking it, I tried to nail him with everything I had...and then I'd be flying across the room and bouncing off a wall...several times. He was too fast to just be the result of practicing a repetitive number of movements for years on end, he was more of a spontaneous flow of energy that took your own energy and incorporated it into his own. Closest thing I can compare it to is jazz. There seems to be a lot of people putting him down, but from my modest experience with him, he was very much the real deal. And a gentleman.
Aikido, of all the martial arts, has always made the most logical sense to me for two reasons: First, it's a defensive fighting style, which mirrors what will happen in a real-world scenario: you'll most likely be on the defensive against an attacker. Second, it can be used at any age. Spin kicks, roundhouse kicks, punches, and hard blocks work best when you're young. But what about when you're older, say late 60's or 70's? Those techniques are now useless, simply because you can no longer do them. You're slower, less limber, and a hard block would break your forearm. So now what? Also, the secret to making aikido effective is to practice it to the point where attacks are real-world fast and strong. As in, full-speed and full-force punches just like you'd experience in a street fight. That takes considerable time and patience, but re-watch "Above the Law," and what you see are the results of that type of training. And there's nothing that says you can't also study the hard styles, like Tae-Kwon-Do, Tang-Soo-Do, and Shotokan karate, and incorporate those techniques into your Aikido practice. In fact, Aikido will make those hard-style techniques even more effective. And vice-versa.
It doesn't make sense. There's zero logic or realism to aikido. There's a reason there's NO EVIDENCE ANYWHERE of it actually working against someone. And why any other style vs aikido on yt the aikido guy gets wrecked
@@danielhill3261 steven seagal is a proven fraud. He even lied about when he studied. I can show you evidence if you'd like but only if you're open to realizing how stupid he is
This is a joke, right? If not, those two guys were directed exactly when to fall and were not resisting in the slightest. Aikido demonstrations are pretty, but useless for real world application.
First of all this not fake, just cause it’s from a movie, the parts are scripted.... not the moves, Steve Seagal is a 7th degree black belt in aikido, that martial art is a very lethal and gruesome if done correctly.
His style and techniques, even from say the 15 basics, are done with such precision in his earlier films that IMO, are great for the lesser experienced Aikidoists to study over & over showing a lot of real world type scenarios put into context and practice.
I studied kempo for 4 years and when I scene Steven Segals first movie I said I want to learn that style. Not knowing the years of training it would take 8 years later I was discovering how hard and how much work it would take to really use it in a street fight. I have used it successfully in fights but not like the movies. Love your videos.
look at it like a toolbox scenario,, aikido teaches you a heap of cool tools ,, and if you ever need them,, there they are ready to use,, and that could save ur life one day
most ppl aren't going to take it far enuff to be perfect at it,, they will get some cool tricks that they can maybe use to get out of a jam or stop someone from hurting them,, id advise boxing ,or kickboxing,, muay htai,,, aikido,, karate,, even some taekwondo,, wrestling is great,, but having a job that involves hard yakka is a bonus,, like a brickies labourer,, or playing a sport like rugby,,lol,, toughens you up a lot,,,
Though I don't pratice in a dojo any longer, I was a serious student for an excess of 30 years. In the dojo when they were other students. I'd parctice with them all of the various technics. However, in my private life outside the dojo; I found it considereably better for me, myself personally to capitalize and perfect only 5 of the various technics. However, just like one should practice shooting a gun from every possible consivable postion that one may find themselves in when being confronted; I do the same.
Thanks for another great video. Could Ondrej tell us more about him and his journey into aikido, in the same way that Azu did about him being door security and why it works for him as it gives him choice..
Seagal was the first aikidokai I can think of who began to make use of defenses off punching or striking combinations..... Normally you just see one terrible shomenuchi (overhead chop) and then a technique (as if anyone attacks like that anymore) ~ and he addressed that issue in his films definitively. The Irimi Nage off the front kick => jab => cross combination is a classic example.
His iriminage sort of you could argue tensunage is very good and i like his sankyo i seem to opt for shihonage or more taditonial iriminage where i just cut through the attack and drop uke throught the weak line good video!!!
Ive been training before Segal fame. I had two VHS videos of O'Sensei. 1995. Changed my life. Ive studied 3 other styles before AIKIDO. I even poo poo it. Then i actual went to a class. And they really showed me what Aikdo truly is. Its such a misunderstood art.
People and the internet claim Seagal is a Phony, I beg to differ ,What he knows how to do was not taught to him in Holywood it can only be taught by the Masters which he did in Japan Period
Note closely that in Move #5 the attacker (uke) actually is attempting to kick when he first attacks. The fact that he does so helps the execution of the technique, b/c he is even more unbalanced when he makes contact.
In order to fix the gaps all you need is to practice in the correct way the traditional techniques. Most of the people are adding or removing some small detailes that makes their aikido a non traditional aikido. How to blame aikido that is not working if it is not THE aikido? If you are willing to improve your aikido, just train yourself in the traditional way. Also after years practicing the correct way you will gain more speed. You can become so fast that you can see others not moving even when they are delivering their fastest strike. Keep up the good work!
I've been a fan of aikido since I saw a tape of my friend's black belt testing. He had to avoid being taken down by several simultaneous attackers for several minutes. It was a constant melee with him breaking away from grips, throwing an attacker in the path of others, etc. The real deal.
when I was trained and taught the chokes,, they taught me by doing it to me,,many many times,, and I fully understand how scary and fast it works when applied right,, and never decide to use it lightly,, without extreme need lol
great episode i learned a lot . too bad you don't make new videos i really like your methods. don't listen to low comments they're to ignorant to learn.
A true master of any MA will be able to use his skills as effectively as another master. A kick is still a kick, and a punch is still a punch. It's all about timing and mushin.
You are on the internet my dear , I can get any place.I channel like because it shows many techniques that can be used as self-defense. And it shows that Aikido also has its efficiency, here in Brazil many people do not believe much in it , especially the staff jiujitsu.Great hug to all brothers of Aikido in the USA. My group is www.albertoaikidorj.com.br/ Save Shikanai Sensei!!OSS
Just to point out, Seagal was the first foreigner to open a dojo in Japan. He had to fight everyone, from every style there (mainly karate, judo, jujitsu then I believe), to be able to do this and keep his dojo open. To suggest he is just a movie guy and doesn't know about real fighting shows a lack of knowledge about him. So suggesting he doesn't know what works in the real world is not correct. Of course this also doesn't make aikido better than those other styles; a lot depends on the fighter and their personal qualities. There are also bad aikido teachers, a lack of rigour in some teaching/ grading systems, and people mistaking techniques for aikido. So a lot of aikido won't work out in the real world. These are great videos, so keep it up guys.
Paul Hedges he actually didn't open a dojo. That was his first wife's dad's dojo. This is but another lie that Segal has told over the years like his 'work with the CIA, fighting the Yakuza with help from the American (Italian) mob, being the foremost expert in antique swords, fluent in 4 languages, and many many more bs stories.
Paul Hedges sounds like you've swallowed the koolaid. Smoke and mirrors.... bullshit exaggerations from a largely made up past. I'm sure he was constantly fighting off bad guys... just like in his movies.🤣🤣🤣🤣 Aikido works if someone with no skill runs at you like a maniac. Wake up. Aikido sucks.
The smart martial artist - and Steven Seagal certainly qualifies - borrows knowledge wherever he can find it. In the old days, when traditional East Asian martial arts systems were jealously guarded things, it was sometimes tough to do this, but thanks to Bruce Lee - the first well-known mixed martial artist - we now know to seek martial arts knowledge whatever it is to be found. Aikido is an effective system, properly applied. There are many other effective martial arts, too. Sometimes, it isn't the art which fails, but the man who does.
What is the very first step of learning aikido? Do i need to have cardio? Im thin. Do i need to go in the gym first or just train aikido with my original body built
deff best for modern day self defense,, if you can find a dojo that teaches a modern style that fits within our legal system,,laws,,as theres no kicking or punching,,its pure defense,,you can add anything you want to it,, but the art itself is pure defense,,as you would attack with a weapon,,and only ever need aikido if you were caught without and attacked unarmed,,ambused or surprised,,
aikido is the best art for learning to be calm and relaxed (like taichi). not for fighting - and not for fitness. for fighting/ self defense and fitness, go to your nearest MMA club.
Great video, bravo. But I just wonder if Aïkido techniques would work as effectively when we have a small Tori facing a big Uke. IMO size matters in such a martial art (excuse my bad english, by the way)
The truth is that such techniques don't work against a fast powerful mma fighter. Probably against an average person. Aikido is a nice sport but should not be used against real full contact fighters on the street. Whatever people say about Steven Segal, he's actually really good at what he does and he would be able to put out even in reality a drunk or an attacker with no fighting skills. Do you want to be effective on the street practice self defence hand to hand cambat and most important and necesary is mma sparring or full contact sparring
1:11 This always makes me laugh. Not out of ridicule but bc the attacker always seems to be ragdolled by the Iriminage🤣🤣 One of my favorite moves from this art
That is an interesting and very creative methods of stopping an aggressive attacker without drawing first blood. This style of Martial Arts reminds me of Japanese Judo where you use your attackers weight against themselves and to your advantage.
I would actually like to see more videos like this one. Imo, in aïkido, it is too much focused on " He attacks me and then I do the technique" and it does not consider that sometimes you'll miss the opportunity or that the first attack will be followed by a second one, and more videos in this style with different situations and a reaction from the aite would be really interesting. Thanks for your work and sorry for the english, it's not my native language
A proficient martial artist, of whatever style, always knows to have a plan "B" in case plan "A' doesn't work out for some reason. Even the most-elite martial artists sometimes miss putting in a technique - the opponent feints at exactly the right time, etc. So the good ones know to have a back-up plan, and how to improvise. Fights can be chaotic things, and it is best to plan for the worst while hoping for the best. As pro boxer and heavyweight Mike Tyson once said, "Everyone has a plan until they get hit in the face!"
the idea of aikido is,, 1* not getting hurt 2* stopping your attacker/s 3* not getting hurt ,,if you think that's stupid,, let me touch you just once and then you can do anything you want to me for the next say,, 15 seconds,, I wont move a inch,, but,,when I touch you,, you will become unconscious for about 20 seconds LOL
You, Grasshopper, were 'ither absent, or not paying attention the first day of class. Aikido is an "Art of Defense" NOT, To Attack. Oh ! If I had a Cue Ball wrapped in a towel right now.
1:18 That maybe looks good in movies. It doesn't mean that it will actually work in a real fight. A real kick will have some actual FORCE behind it, so you cant just block it with a little "slap".
Seagal was smart; he adapted the best aikido techniques to his physique - in particular, the ones most suited to his height, reach and strength. He made aikido his own. There's a lesson that for all martial artists - whatever art you are struggling to master, make it your own.
It’s a type of art of course, that kind of the whole point is to be creative, martial arts is only extremely lethal when someone is good at it
Geworgia can I laugh hahhahahaahahahahahahahaah

I've always equated trying to learn & "perfect " (I know) Aikido to the degree of difficulty that I think learning ballet would probably be.
He is still a legend no matter what they say I love how fluent and quick his moves are.
because it is a choreography. not a fight
It's called dancing.
@@asdfjkl981 true but that actaully is how it goes
He's a fraud. Not a legend.
@@vrocksworld no it doesn't. Ever. In history. You'll never find a single fight where an aikido dude actually does thay

Aikido is one of my best art ever in the world,but unlucky I dont have any video of this art.
It not 😂😂
Do you think it's worth my time and effort ? I really want to learn some martial-arts. Is Aikido the best one ?
the is no best martial arts all ahave their strenght and weakness it depends of what you are looking for
deff best for modern day self defense,, if you can find a dojo that teaches a modern style that fits within our legal system,,laws,,as theres no kicking or punching,,its pure defense,,you can add anything you want to it,, but the art itself is pure defense,,as you would attack with a weapon,,and only ever need aikido if you were caught without and attacked unarmed,,ambused or surprised,,
tho the old styles are more rigid and for war times,, brutal,, and not appropriate for modern everyday self defense,,
I'd probably go Judo over Aikido. Similar styles but Judo is far more "combat applicable". Meaning, it will work better against a resisting opponent.
aikido is the best art for learning to be calm and relaxed (like taichi). not for fighting - and not for fitness. for fighting/ self defense and fitness, go to your nearest MMA club.
What's the name of the choke technequie
Great video, bravo. But I just wonder if Aïkido techniques would work as effectively when we have a small Tori facing a big Uke. IMO size matters in such a martial art (excuse my bad english, by the way)

I would actually like to see more videos like this one. Imo, in aïkido, it is too much focused on " He attacks me and then I do the technique" and it does not consider that sometimes you'll miss the opportunity or that the first attack will be followed by a second one, and more videos in this style with different situations and a reaction from the aite would be really interesting.
Thanks for your work and sorry for the english, it's not my native language
A proficient martial artist, of whatever style, always knows to have a plan "B" in case plan "A' doesn't work out for some reason. Even the most-elite martial artists sometimes miss putting in a technique - the opponent feints at exactly the right time, etc. So the good ones know to have a back-up plan, and how to improvise. Fights can be chaotic things, and it is best to plan for the worst while hoping for the best. As pro boxer and heavyweight Mike Tyson once said, "Everyone has a plan until they get hit in the face!"
the idea of aikido is,, 1* not getting hurt 2* stopping your attacker/s 3* not getting hurt ,,if you think that's stupid,, let me touch you just once and then you can do anything you want to me for the next say,, 15 seconds,, I wont move a inch,, but,,when I touch you,, you will become unconscious for about 20 seconds LOL
Eyemack. What?
You, Grasshopper, were 'ither absent, or not paying attention the first day of class.
Aikido is an "Art of Defense" NOT,
To Attack.
Oh ! If I had a Cue Ball wrapped in a towel right now.
1:18 That maybe looks good in movies. It doesn't mean that it will actually work in a real fight. A real kick will have some actual FORCE behind it, so you cant just block it with a little "slap".
great vid, but the timings in the vid description are kinda messed up. Please fix :-)
