ill put it this way..
I'm 29 now in peak physical condition train 5 days a week hardcore mma....
I started my Jiu Jitsu with GrandMaster Reylson Gracie who is now the "highest ranking Gracie" in the family and in Jiu Jitsu world over...
he gets tons of flack for his style he teaches and what not... he's in his 60's
don't let that fool you he's still a grandmaster and a gracie.. sure if I wanted to cheapshot him I could KO him easy but if he knew I was coming I'm fucked....
moral of the story is... sure anyone can cheapshot one of these guys like steven but don't be to sure he's a highranking dan for a reason .. they always have tricks up their sleeve...
look in your local phone book and find an akido school near you.. go into the class one day and do some of the wrist locks and throws they do.. just see for yourself how fast they work....
as for seagal being able to kick above his waist still?
well shit... im sure Dan Gable has'nt done a shot with a single to the double in 20 years but im sure every person on here who has wrestled or does mma would hop on a plane right now to go train under him  |
Aikido looks flashy and great because of one thing. A fully NON RESISTANT partner who can fall well. AFter 2 years training in it, I can tell you maybe 5 percent of it is of any use, and that's only if the other person isn't expecting it.
Segal is a Poser, who has lied about everything in his life other than his ranking. And even his ranking in Aikido is suspect.
No way in Hell Segal would live from a double take down and mounted ground and pound.
