If you ever watch a steven seagal movie, then you will know by looking at his technique that his is no poser. You do recognize that his is a skilled Aikido player, right?
I don't know from Gene Lebell, and Seagal may be an ahole, and a jerk, who cares. That is probably why you hear so many stories trying to discredit him.
The greatest aikido artist in the world could probably be choked out by a really good judo or jiu jitsu player. A bunch of rednecks threaten to kill you, and see if you wanna be a hero. I love these stories. Were the rednecks armed?
Seagal is a martial artist, and that does not mean he can beat everyone up. If he could, then he would have probably made his fortune in NHB fighting. No, he is a movie star, that happens to be, IMHO a very skilled aikido player. I personally don't think aikido is that great of a street fighting art, do you? If so you would see more aikido in the UFC.
