What a monster.

In the late ‘70s Gene Lebell used to workout in the LACC wrestling room. At the time I played football at LACC. One day in the football offseason and I walked by the wrestling and saw some guys working out. I stopped at the door and started watching. A man who was working out, but also was running the workout, asked me if I played football. I said yes. He asked me if I wanted to work out? I told him I don’t know how to wrestle. He said, no problem, if I worked out with them I would get a much better workout than than I could get just running around. I thought I’d try it. At the time I didn’t know who Gene Lebell was. But what I do know is it was like trying to wrestle a giant bowling ball when wrestling Mr Lebell. He also took the time to show me how to use the opponent’s force and momentum against him. It turned out to be a couple days of training that was physically challenging but the experience is still with me to this day. He never tried to abuse or embarrass me even though I tried to subdue him. He taught while he was wrestling. Which is much different than an instructor standing aside and teaching. Clearly he was trying to get his own workout by using us. I realized who I was working out with after seeing him on television sometime later. Gene was a gentleman and apparently took joy in mentoring. I’m by no means a skilled martial artist. But I learned how to be gracious and generous about sharing what you have with people who are willing to be mentored. I won’t ever forget that experience.

I first heard a version of the story in mid to late to 1990 when I was a new LAPD officer. An LAPD supervisor told me the story. He claimed to have worked as security on the set of the movie and told me he had seen it happen. He claimed that Gene LeBell had choked out Seagal twice. He didn’t mention that Seagal had soiled himself so I tend to view that as a later addition to the story. Some of my training officers around that time told me they had been trained to hold a choke hold on a suspect until the suspect lost control of his bowels. I sometimes wonder if this element got conflated with the Seagal story.

I met Gene Lebell and his stunt crew when I was about 17-18. I didnt know who he was but he was so very nice to me and my friend. He showed us some wrestling moves and choked out my friend. It was voluntary of course. My friend ended up buying a book from him which Gene signed. My exposure to Gene was less than an hour but he impressed me as a class act at the time.

Seagal is a Narcissist, just like Turd. However... he is infinitely more valuable in this world. Hes made films worthy of being watched and enjoyed... and hes both a good martial artists, as well as good teacher, from whats been said. One thing is for certain... JC didnt stand a chance against Seagal... and he was lucky that Seagal fled the scene. JC may be an infinitely better person... but as a Martial Artist... hes very low-level. And as a Combat martial artist myself... I say the exact same thing, about Fighting. Its one thing if a person asks respectfully for a demonstration, or even a medium level sparring session. But when someone comes at me with a Challenging and disrespectful attitude... I refuse. At that point, its no longer a Sparring match. Its a "Real" fight. In a real fight, there is no telling what the OP might choose to do... and how far they are willing to go. So at that point, I make it perfectly clear... that while I will not fight / spar them... that IF they decided to be so foolish as to openly attack me... then I WILL not hold back. I WILL use Lethal levels of Output. As it stands, Ive ended up Injuring an MMA fighter more recently... in a demo with him. My arm deflection would not have caused the injury... had he not went outside of our agreed upon "Medium" (safe) levels of power. Instead, he was embarrassed that I was outclassing him... and so he used full power, full speed... with true intent to harm. This caused the impact forces to multiply Greatly.. and it nearly shattered the dudes wristbone / forearm area. Within less than an hours time, it had swelled up nearly double in size, and he was in great pains for many days to follow. I only used about 10% of what I was capable of delivering. And more than that, and he would have needed a trip to the ER... and this was just a mild "Demo" (My single arm, against his two arms). There is a reason why JC's career faded out so quickly. He moves were extremely limited, and full of unrealistic Fluff.. like slow motion helicopter kicks, split punches...etc. Where as someone like Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Tony Ja, Michelle Yeoh, and so many others... were FAR beyond what he was capable of. Heck... the Borne movies had superior fight scenes, to anything JC ever put out.

That you dont want to eat a hit from him... let alone, him getting a single arm on you. Ive also know at least one person that was thrown into jail, for excessive violence... when he used Aikido to defend himself with. Obviously, he took things way too far.

@@pinkydavis6113 Im not upset.. and I didnt learn Aikido. Most of my training is in Wing Chun. Ive also cross trained in all the typical MMA methods: Boxing, Muay Thai, TKD, Karate... as well as some things from rarer arts like Shaolin Longfist, Tai Chi, Wushu moves... and weapons: Nunchaku's, Rope Dart, and the 9 Section Steel whip chain. I also used to spar and cross train against artists from many different arts, on a regular basis. As for your statement about videos... it holds no real depth of meaning, nor value. For one thing... If two fighters fought ONCE... is that enough data to tell whom is the best... vs.. what may have been a fluke? A real test, would be to pit the same two fighters against each other, 20 to 50 times... and then compare the results. Putting 30 different "unknown quality" fighters against each other "Once" ... isnt good "Proof". Furthermore, you are still talking about Aikido. Seagal used Aikijutsu... which has Striking still left in it. Modern Aidiko, removed the striking.. because the Master became a Pacifist... and didnt want to teach a combat art anymore. Then you have the difference between a low quality amateur... vs.. a Masterclass level combat fighter. Just because someone labels themselves as "Masters" does not make them ACTUAL masters. All three of my former teachers, were knowledgeable, had some skills... but NONE of them were Masterclass level fighters. I.. however, trained longer, harder, and more intensely... and actually reached Masterclass levels of output, on all that I had learned. I long since surpassed all of those teachers, in real world fighting capabilities, output power... and much more. There are hundreds of amateur Wing Chun dudes being humiliated in sparring matches against low level fighters. But are ALL of WC practitioners that bad? Is the art at that took over 2000 yrs worth of development and testing in actual bloody combat... that Worthless?! Nope. The fault is with the poor quality practitioners. Do you know how to spot a masterclass level fighter? I do. Ive only met about 5 of them in my 28 yrs of experience, however. Its rare, because most people are not willing to work hard enough to reach such a level. Let me give you a mild hint: Find the video of where Seagal was trying to teach Andersen Silva, and the other Karate dude (machita?). When seagul lightly taps Andersen in the shoulder area... he visibly Winces in pain... and he keeps rubbing the injury for many minutes later. Seagal barely touched the dude... Probably only using about 10% on that hit. Had Seagal actually had Ill intent, and used full power, full speed... that dude would have been Toast. That kind of Masterclass level of Power, does not come from a general practitioner. Its also still very rare to see, in the top Elite competition fighters. Yet Seagal, has it. Not only that, but compare how Seagal moves... and how poorly these so called "PRO" fighters struggle to match his speed, fluidity, and precision. They look like beginner clowns, compared to him. Every tech that Seagal throws out, is with Flawless Precision, blinding speed, and with massive power... that only comes from a Masteclass level fighter. While I cant completely grade Seagal on Aikido.. due to only having limited grappling / anti-grappling experience... I can rate him on his movements, and the results that are visibly clear. Of course, my eyes are trained to be able to spot event the smallest of details... that someone like yourself, is not really aware of. This is why Olympic judges tend to be former Olympic Athletes... because they can spot things that others do not notice. Such as the subtle angle of an ice skater, when they take off on a spinning jump. Here is what I tell people... If you really want to know what is effective... find someone reputable, and get a physical demo. If its impressive, study, and fully master it... and then, test these things out for yourself. There is no greater proof. Because making poor blind assumptions, is Never going to lead to the Highest Truths.

Years ago when the "Seagal crapping his pants" story was first making the rounds on KZread, Dan Inosanto's son-in-law, Ron Balicki, posted a rebuttal in various comments sections saying how he’s friends with both men and the fight director who was there for the "incident," and claimed nothing happened. NOTHING. He also said that Gene is very much a professional wrestler in the way he stretches his stories for the sake of effect, and whatever Steven’s reputation for assholery (my words, not Ron’s, lol), the truth is the truth and one person’s rep shouldn’t be built up by erroneously tearing down another’s. Fair enough. Also, a verrry interesting thing discussed in a Kung Fu Genius video came from information provided by Lee historian John Little, who said that all the problems Bruce had with the Green Hornet stunt crew were resolved by the first or certainly the second episode, and that Gene didn’t come aboard until mid-season…hmmm. And as someone who’s looked through more of Bruce’s methodical notes and diaries than just about anyone, John has yet to see a single date or time when Bruce trained with Gene, any reference to Gene’s school, or any details on what he was learning from him…hmmm. Oh, and he said that Gene has described Bruce’s school as smelling of incense and having tatami mats too thin for rolling on, which is why they started practicing at Gene’s school; however, L.A. student Steve Golden told John that Bruce never burned incense, the place had a bare concrete floor, and no one remembers ever seeing Lebell there. One last time…hmmmm.

@@jasonphillips5816 No argument there. Seagal was born in '52, so unless Bruce was hanging out with teenagers and Steven was knocking boots in middle school or earlier, it's doubtful their kids played together like Steven claims, lol. As for Gene, the question isn't whether he knew Bruce; it's whether he trained him. I'd never questioned he had-I think Dan Inosanto has said Gene is one of the few people who taught Bruce rather than simply exchanged information with him-but I find it curious that Little has never seen a single note on what the two men did together, detailed as Bruce was about recording his training and there being no compelling reason to keep such training "secret." As for Gene running Bruce around the studio in a fireman’s carry, that would’ve been at The Green Hornet’s beginning, not mid-season when he started appearing in episodes, and Van Williams had a lengthy story about he and the fight director resolving the issue of Bruce injuring stuntmen, one that makes much more sense than Gene’s aggressive, public horseplay.

I think of him often and it breaks my heart that he is no longer with us. Steven Seagal is an asshole of epic proportion.

here's what doesn't make sense. How does someone only be there for "part of it". Gene has changed his stories over the years over his various fights with people and so there truth is out there but I don't think anyone will ever agree on how.

Really enjoyed this collection of Steven Seagal videos that you've gathered and conducted! I hope there would be more to watch. It's both entertaining and exposing the truth about him. If I remember correctly, even his own mother came out and debunked some of the things Steven claimed about himself. I think that's far more insane there was no family bias, amongst all other "credibility" he formed around himself. Goes to show just how far he went with his ever-developed narcissism, self-entitlement, know-it-all pseudo-intellectualism. At the end of the day, the takeaway here is that Steven got humbled by the late Gene LeBell, backed up by a legitimate stunt coordinator (R.I.P.), and since then he never improved his character.

I used to think Seagal's aikido was legitimately great. Now, I'm skeptical of how good he really was. He must have been pretty good. But he also leveled up by using people, especially the woman he married and then ditched in the most selfish way possible. He got into the movie business by being extremely confident. He is a great example of the original meaning of the word con man-- confidence man. His original movie really stood out with unusually realistic action. I think he legitimately contributed to martial arts by raising the level of reality in movies. However, one thing he never has been: A good representative of aikido. Read the books by the aikido founder. He designed aikido training to be harmonious and to work together with your partner. Most of the time, attacks are barely used. It is assumed that you are mainly only responding to an attack. The founder wrote about aikido as a way of increasing harmony in the world. You would never get any of that from Seagal's movies. Other than some realistic action, his movies promote the worst ideas in martial arts movies. He must be one of the most selfish and egotistical people in Hollywood and in martial arts. The true heart of aikido flies over his head. He seems to be completely incapable of ever understanding it.

@@ikapatino3214 Yes, but I'm not commenting as much on his fighting technique or style, which I think is quite good. And I think his first movies changed the way hollywood showed hand to hand combat towards a slightly more realistic portrayal. But my main point is that he is not a good representative of aikido. It's his attitude and philosophy that is the opposite of the founder of aikido's philosophy. It's his egotism and dangerous narcissism that really undermines himself and aikido and the martial arts community at large.

Well done bro. I can appreciate a man how keeps it real even if it involves a loss No one alive is undefeated. Even those who are, will see defeat when they least expect it. I cant count the many times I got my bell rung. The only thing I ever had going for me was shear stubborn consistency. Never with close friends, mainly with those that were in the wrong in some way or had done something very wrong to a good person. More often then not, we would bump into each other again. Sometimes it would be the latter that night or even later that month and/or year. I did not always do better the second time around. But one thing for sure, I at least made it very discouraging to think that Karma can be bypassed. I just hope more folks out there that want to defend a certain person, who may not be all that, really peep game. Some are still dedicated to defending those who only care about themselves. If you stand for something or someone, you should know exactly what or who you are standing up for. We can be a nation of many more good strong men if we all strive to improve in some way. We all know there is two sides to every story. One side is only half true or half false, its our job to find out before we react in a partisan fashion. Much respect and peace.

Very informative and entertaining. I always liked how Gene always presented himself vs Steven.

I think some reasons this story stuck around over the years are that A) Seagal takes himself WAY too seriously, B) he seems like EXACTLY the kind of overconfident narcissist who people WANT TO SEE get insta-karma'd like that, and C) Seagal lies about pretty much everything, so his protestations that it didn't happen like that don't carry much weight.

I was around during those days. Everything you said is true. Good research.

I've practised martial arts for 43 years, and I have learnt that you can never stop learning new things and methods of training. The problem with some people and having some knowledge is they think they're unbeatable. But if its one thing I can say is no one is unbeatable, you can be hard to beat but never believe that you are unbeatable .

Well done and pointing a spectrum of thoughts on the LeBell-Seagal "incident". The story of what happened may have varied...whether it Seagal pissed in his pants, or shat or was just put to sleep - Seagal had his ass kicked. Gene never bragged about many of his accomplishments. He was humble, yet humorously confident in his skills and was a legend in the world of Martial Arts like none other. I served as Gene LeBell's World Grappling Federation for years and was a close friend of his for over 30 years. He shared with me what happened and why he would not talk about all the details in public but would share in private. I think you touched on most. Happy to share more if we ever speak or meet.

I'm fascinated by all these Steven Seagal stories.

Hey Prince!!! Love your videos. My buddy at work knew exactly who you were when I was like " dude do you know who Prince from YouTybe is from GoldenBell". Yeah---- respect and regards from Cali

Great vid

Gene LeBell was National Champion on Sports Judo in the '60's and had a dojo on Melrose. He also did the announcing at the Olympic Auditorium. Very skilled, nice guy. Had his day before the big money came into martial arts. I competed in a judo tournament when I was 10 and Gene was there to give an exhibition and promote his book "The Handbook of Judo". He actually watched my match, gave me an evaluation and encouragement and personally signed my copy of his book. To me he was larger than life!

I'm new your channel. You came up in my feed today. I studied Aikido for a couple years back in the 80s because of seeing Seagals movies. After a year or so I started hearing how fake he was. I also realized how ineffective Aikido was in a real conflict.

Maybe the problem was you or you had a bad teacher. Aikido was never developed as a streetfighting style but the techniques are effective if correctly applied. The founder himself said atemi (striking) is 80% & aikido waza 20% in a real fight. You can have many blackbelts in whichever art you think is the best but it all boils down how you are deal with a real adversary. You basically have to out think your opponent im a split second

Some very good points - a real martial artist would keep themselves in shape, and would accept the humility that comes from a loss

interesting stuff ma man

4 people in addition to Gene & Seagal- 2 bodyguards, Steven & the other stuntman. His story has been consistent in interviews with what is in his book.

Very well researched

I’m 71 years old and as long as I remember Seagal has always been full of himself. I always thought he lied about his capabilities and his experiences. Just a big bully and braggart. I think it’s great he will always be known for crapping his pants. Now that’s funny!

Prince I love your videos , been following you since your Jedi days. I work for Warner Bros. from 87- 96. I don’t remember the exact date of the Gene lebell incident , but I was among the sixty people to learn about this incident the day it happen. When this happen Michael Orvitz called Steve Ross to bitch about what happen and control the narrative. I delivered the legal papers concerning the event. Gene lebell wasn’t mention by name in the papers but I guest it was him by the description given in the memo. There was no mention of poop in the memo but it did say Seagal was choked out. I was 26 when this happen and I was intensely studying Seido karate in NYC. I also was a fan of movie fight choreography. Seagal was big business for Warner bros. back then. For a time he rival Arnold Schwarzenegger box office numbers. So warners stop that story from getting out. Only actors involved knew what happen and corporate knew what happened. I told my training buddies what happen so some east coast martial artist knew what happen. This story was dead until about 2008. That’s when certain mags hinted at the story and Seagal was out of warners. I’ve alway admired Seagal martial powers and that’s it. Being a street kid I knew he was full of shit. Seagal is a tall man about 6’5 “ I’m 6’3” and he was taller than me when I attended marked for death premiere. Walk past him and I was surprise he was taller than me.

LeBell is a liar and therefore a disgrace for the martial arts community. I knew instantly knew that the story (choking out) was not true because everybody has bodyguards, especially Seagal. Conrad Palmisano who was the stunt coordinator of "Marked for Death" said that nothing happened. Steven Lambert also said that nothing happened (choke out) and keep in mind that Lambert is a dear friend of LeBell and not of Seagal. He´s no reason to lie.

Plenty of East Coast martial artists have trained directly with him (including BJJ/Judo black belts) and they've said he's 100 percent the real deal. Ask Razor Rey Garcia (Judoka, BJJ, Karate champ, former LEO) or former UFC champ Ricco Rodriguez. I know you "heard" of things in the complaint, but that is NOT the same thing as actually being there on the set where it happened. It occurred on the set of Marked for Death, and the only real witnesses were Steven Lambert, Lincoln Simonds, two of Seagal's bodyguards, and Conrad Palmisano approx 30 feet away watching them. That's it. Anyone else claiming they "heard" this or that is nonsense hearsay. Steven Lambert has no reason to lie about this, as he doesn't work for Warner, nor is he friendly with Seagal. Conrad's personal account also corroborates most of the info given by Lambert as well.
