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.

I've always equated trying to learn & "perfect " (I know) Aikido to the degree of difficulty that I think learning ballet would probably be.

this was amazing, because most folks dont realize what it takes to do what Seagal does so effortlessly

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.

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.

Thanks Ian, will do in one of our next videos, O.

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.

Very good simple but affective ! Now to learn these !

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.

Merci pour ta vidéo un régal pour les yeux

Great as always happy holidays everybody

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.

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.

I love you Aikido!

I love Aikido would love to learn but don't have any teachers here great lesson

very good instruction

Nice My children are half Polish and Half Japanese and they are practis Karate Shotokan. Best regard from Poland to you.

2:00 I love this second one.It is really the application of Aikido at his best.

Nice technique moves. Solid takedowns.

short, sweet, and.nice !

Great techniques! Great video! Great sensei! Great channel! Thanks!

Sensei amazing video! Whats the name of the third technique? A type of sankyo?

l love ur teaching,sir.

Good stuff. It is why we combine the three base katas of Uechi ryu and the one kata of Shorin ryu Ninhatchi

This is very powerful 👏

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!!!

Well done

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.

Really nice 😀

Yes

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!

It's looks so easy

I like the first one you showed. Starting at 0:50

nice

I like this move

But... what if the guy fight back and dont follow your move?

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.
