Steven seagal knows Akido, karate, judo and many other dangerous words.
🤦♂️
That’s brilliant

Also, cholesterol, flabby aikido my ass.
Sometimes it boggles my mind that Steven Seagal is a real person. He’s like a character from South Park that came to life

There is actually a South Park that he is in. They make him cry.

"Let's not watch that one because it's easy to make fun of him when he's old". Joe is honest enough a man to not cheap-out in his criticisms by grabbing the lowest hanging fruit. I appreciate that.
Too bad every single frame of every single video of Steven Segal "performing martial arts" is just as laughable as that one. He is on the exact same level as "chi" masters that knock down opponents without touching them. Aikido has the smallest sliver of applicability in actual combat, and is essentially Tai Chi in all other regards, not to mention the fact that Segal verifiably lied about training under the originator of the discipline. He's an absolute clown no matter how you look at it.
👍
@@CadoonTube That's true for almost all of martial arts disciplines that are taught in US, West in general, including Karate, Capoeira and Krav Maga. Just dancing techniques, and never useful in actual self-defense situations, some cases dangerous for the defender.
@@roseCatcher_ That's the exact case I'm making. A martial art, by it's name alone, should have implications in actual combat or selse defense. Martial = military = combat/defense. Therefore I don't consider those disciplines martial arts. They can be very good exercise and a fun hobby, but they are not martial arts.
@Jack deWinter No one needs to be a martial artist to see that Steven is a delusional man who’s entire life is a power fantasy that he refuses to acknowledge is ridiculous and fake.
Steven is a true Warrior who has followed the path of the Warriors, he's been fighting decades against healthy food, Smart movie scripts and good behaviour with people.

Only someone who knows nothing could say such stupid nonsense confidently lol
Hilarious...
He made it to 70 years old and looks great for his age so he can't be eating that bad. I'm sure he eats like a rich man does and doesn't move around as much because once again he's 70.

@V P Rogan is a LEGIT fighter; that's why he called out Carlos Mencia, because he wasn't afraid of any threats of "OH, my friends are saying they are gonna beat you up for telling LIES about me, saying I steal jokes; and I'm telling them NOOOOoooo, don't beat him up, it's cool!" But they say they're gonna do it, so you better STOP, TELLING LIES about me, because I don't know how much longer I can STOP them!" (And yeah, he literally SAID that in an interview about him stealing jokes). But Rogan wasn't threatened, because he knew that even if Mencia HAD any friends, Joe could kick their asses since he was a former martial arts instructor and fighter. OTHER comedians, meanwhile, were intimidated; and so nobody said anything- particularly since Mencia would ALSO pull dirty tricks at the clubs, by bumping comedians from their appointed show, by Mencia hogging the stage with THEIR OWN JOKES that he STOLE, costing them their livelihood since they couldn't go onstage because the audience had JUST HEARD the bit they were going to do! Meanwhile Rogan was mostly an actor, so he didn't depend on comedy for his success; and thus he was the only comic who could EXPOSE Mencia as a thief who took advantage of the lack of protection for comedians from theft and violence.
Little known fact Steven Seagal is also a grand master 10x blackbelt at Bullshito.

Steven Seagal was born in Alaska, in a log cabin that he built with his own two hands
Akido Chop!! No saw needed

I remember once a guy offered to show me his Judo skills. A second and I'm lying on the floor, I barely felt anything, like boom I'm on the floor now. It's like I was gently teleported. Judo is impressive
Gently teleported 😂
when i took judo lessons as a kid i loved doing the foot sweep move, i just spammed that everytime, much to the annoyance of my sparing partners who would fall on the ground. I was 11 and had to fight highschoolers though, so they were taking it easy on me for the most part haha
It should be studied more, as the slams end fight a lot too. We see things like this with Judo and Wrestlers.
@@littleredrosehow do I become a master and black belt in gentle teleportation, lol
Where you drunk?
From my understanding the critical acclaim about being "the first American to teach in Japan" was highly predicated on the fact that other Japanese dojos wouldn't teach Americans that didn't speak Japanese. Also; it was his Japanese FATHER IN LAW that ran a dojo who allowed Steven to teach Americans. Most notably; American military personnel. This is what added to the perceived legitimacy of his claims and (imo) probably the beginning of his fascination with the armed service , inspiring his stories as being part of it. While that was probably a huge boon to his legend , in reality ; it’s kind of a overstated minor anecdote. He may have been the first American to teach but that’s because of his connection and the fact that nobody else would do it. Bro. It wasn't like a council of Japanese Aikido masters sat down in a pagoda hidden deep in the woods surrounded by candles and incense to have a chit-chat about it. This isn't the Karate Kid. 😂😂😂 I mean , good for him ya know ?! But if his step day was a chef , Seagall would be spinning knives at a Benihana in VanNuyys.
A secret meeting in the woods. 😂😂
I mean he’d still prob beat the shit out of you lol
@@lilsmith22 in a pie eating contest maybe . 😂😂😂
@@lilsmith22 pop it out
Seagal's Japanese father-in-law ALSO had a gambling addiction, and so Seagal claimed he fought the Yakuza, who wanted the dojo; but his ex-wife say that EVERYTHING Seagal said was a LIE, and that all he did was yell at a couple of drunks. His father-in-law just owed some money; and Seagal never even had a black belt.

True though. It's the same as those so-called Chi masters who knock people over with bullshit. 😂
Steven Seagal has a career in film because of agent Michael Ovitz. Seagal was his trainer back in the 80's when Ovitz was a very powerful agent in hollywood and he pretty much decided he should be an action movie star.
Wasn't seagal a bodyguard to some of these Hollywood big shots?? I'm sure Steven stone bodyguard to the stars in scream 3 was a injoke on seagal
Aikido is essentially designed for unarmed combat in armor. I've studied it for years, and while it is very limited in itself, it does allow a broader understanding of key principles from other arts. I consider it to be my "gateway" art into other systems, other ideas. Take what works, leave what doesn't. (forgive me for the horrible paraphrasing) End of the day, physical conditioning, will to win, and experience matter more than what system you start with.
ACtually the limitations are something Seagal was aware of, hes at the very least also very good trained at win chun (you usually see aikido mixed with win chun in his movies), which is a system that i know for fact is used by special forces, for example the KSK here in Germany. Im not claiming anything more, but thats what i know.
Ah yes akido also known as bullshito
Maybe you can clarify something a bit for me. I’ve heard people say it’s for unarmed combat against armored opponents but aikido was developed in the 20s and 30s. It sounds an awful lot more like they’re describing jiujitsu which was more or less developed over a thousand years ago for that express purpose.
Because he's flat out wrong, Aikido was developed by an old man for self defense against street thugs since he couldn't utilize traditional jujitsu or judo due to his age and disposition.
,,not 'armored' opponents ..armed opponents .....Ueshiba was a trained samurai from the social caste system ...he knew how to kill ...but did not want to hurt anyone ...- so he developed the 'spiritual system' in order to promote peace ....back in those days if you walked up the wrong street..a group of bandits would jump out and try and slit your throat ...there was no TV..sports or men rolling round together in swimmin trunks ...Life was hard ......-it makes me sick to see 'mma' f****ts trying to denigrate the authentic martial arts systems !!
He's gone from a black belt in Aikido to Grand Master of No-Kandu.
How long you been holding on to that joke lmao
@@e69alpha ever since Steven Seagal started going to the same hair stylist as 'The Count' from 'Sesame Street'.
OH SNAP!
I’ve always thought he was kind of like a darker shade like his race or whatever but I’m sure he’s a Mexican-t who’s highly efficient in No-Kandu
Even his black belt in Aikido was faked; turns out the judge was drunk and asleep. Seriously, if you have to fake a belt in Aikido, you might as well say you beat all the tigers on Mars.
He should get Steven seagal on the podcast .
He can't fit through the door.
Steven Seagal honestly doesn't have to prove anything to anyone. It's funny all the comments from absolute nobodies like the twat above me who think their opinions matter. Notice that you will never hear anyone who knows their ass from a hole in the ground disrespect SS.
@Illuminator Did you know that he asks girls to shit on him in order to get that beautiful oily skin glow? Then he snuffs them out to leave no evidence.
the thing is Seagal is one of those people that is just painfully humorless and serious, and you just cannot have a conversation with him. he seem incapable of just sitting and talking like a normal person, i wonder if the guy actually has any friends. he is so uptight and serious about himself. which works against him and helps with all these insults people people hurl at him because he is just unlikable. and he has got to be a a legitimate first class narcissist.
Lol
Did Aikido from 8 years old till 21 years old 4-8 hours a week. It's not good for fighting someone, it's amazing a deflecting an attack so you have the space and time to get the hell out. If I learned anything from martial arts is that getting out of a dangerous situation is always the best thing you can do. You should only fight if the life of your loved ones are at stake. Aikido is a great base to start doing other martials arts from. It's like learning to read notes before playing an instrument.
You just can't accept the fact that you spent so much time on some useless crap.
@@valdemariv394 It was never about becoming the best fighter or becoming a human weapon. I enjoyed doing it.
@@verlicht sorry but totally agree with him. you could learn the art of running away, that would have been more useful. and please dont tell me of that time that in a fight you deflected the attack. you learn how to stay out of dangerous situations in many other ways, defenitely dont need aikido
@@verlicht Ignore these morons, I have never done Aikido myself but understand you studied the art because you enjoyed it, and can move forward to learn other things and evolve in combat. These other guys wear affliction and tapout shirts when they go out I bet, knuckle draggers, will never learn to adapt and move ahead.
@@Viney209 you know what's a million times more effective than learning a funny way to move your hands? Getting good at running distance so you can escape the situations you can't deal with lmao
During the 90s, I felt Steven Seagal had a pretty good standing as far as being among the martial artists who can in "real life" hurt someone. He's no different than any of the other stars at the time. Only problem is that he got old and out of shape and I don't think he looks very intimidating any longer at all. His movies are him sitting down or barely moving and somehow everyone's necks are snapping and arms are breaking. It's kind of like what Van Damme said of him when asked about Steven coming on for the Expendables movie that he should lose some weight, not to poke fun of him, but because he could be able to appear as bad as he was in the 80s and 90s and he can move around and do moves and stunts that he used to.
Dude you are hilarious!!!! He wouldn't fight chuck Norris, or anyone that was decent!!! He's chicken
@@thomaskitlica5572 but none of the other stars fought each other to prove their stuff so I’m not sure why Seagal had to? So overall it seems like something entirely made up by fans on who would win in a fictional fight. I just think Seagal is staring in unbelievable roles where an out of shape 300 pound man is going around breaking peoples neck with a patty cake slap move. I think if he lose some weight then he’d look the part.
@@Dan-di9jd chuck Norris got tired of his lies and called him out!!!!! Look it up Segal is a joke in the film industry and the fighting world that's why he left because he was embarrassed!!!
My sensei is almost 300 lb Aikido master and he will snap you like a twig before you can blink an eye. Mexican dude to. Before I trained under him I always thought fat people were weak and slow. That's a mythbuster for sure. @@Dan-di9jd
Steven had hypothyroidsm..not bcoz he eating habit
I met Segal at MGM when I worked there. He was such a prick.
I bet he was hahahaha
Funny thing is, that's not the first time I heard this so it pretty much checks out😶. Also, if I'm not mistaken, wasn't he arrested for domestic violence or something before🤔
Yeah im not suprised considering in all of his movies he always plays ex special forces or CIA and also never takes a single punch. If hes that much a douche on screen id imagine he's definitely the same in real life lol
@Poisonous Nut As well he should, since a front-kick knockout is next to impossible. He must have been referring to a different type of kick, and didn't even know the difference. I got a KO on a marine using a front SIDE-kick, that took me years to develop; and I sure didn't learn it from Seagal. But a front kick rarely comes up high enough to score a knockout.
@Adam Christopher narcissississississsst

Lol
Yeahh..... It could be any color that would show up as dark. Its a valid statement.
lmao

😂
The Steven Segal story is fascinating. He’s a wonderful con artist. The story is really amazing! Yeah, he taught in Japan. He married a rich Japanese lady and it was her school. And, he ran it into the ground and used that marriage to meet someone in Hollywood then married that girl because she could do different things for his career. And he just kept going. It’s REALLY interesting.
Absolute bullshit.
Sounds lame to me....
A Krav Maga instructor once told us in class "Don't go to ground, you will have multiple boots kicking your skull in, and do not grab hold - close enough to grab, close enough to stab"... Those words always stick in my head... I think Jocko's "no ego just run" seems sensible especially on the outside of a cage with no rules and hidden dangers like hidden friends and unseen weapons, eye gauging, biting etc etc etc. Martial arts provide good discipline, self motivation but not necessarily good protection,
😂
I'm getting old. I remember a time when Steven Seagal was one of the most popular actors in the world and everyone loved him.
Same here. I saw his movies in the early 2000s and i thought he was the shit. Turns out eveyone had enough of his shit by then. But it's his own ego that got him to be disliked by nearly everyone
There is propaganda campaign against him, Joe Rogan is just doing his just job talking 💩 about him, put Joe Rogan in front of Mr. Steven Seagal and we will look if his martial is legit or not.
Seagal Shihan is a legit master. Holding rank in karate, japanese jujutsu, aikido, kenjutsu and wing chun. He also cross trains in other arts, like FMA. And competed in police pistol & long rifle comps where he won trophies. His low budget movies aren't for me. But he's a legit budo master. 1. kzhead.info/sun/aqutXZuNaJWqlKc/bejne.html 2. kzhead.info/sun/prhqmKVtf3aenas/bejne.html
The Internet can make you love or hate someone so quickly.
In the 1990s to early 2000s? Sure. The problem is that Steven Seagal let himself get fat in the mid 2000s and never dropped the weight. He's still a legit blackbelt. If he seriously dropped the weight, then he could get back to fighting form.
Fun fact: Seagal claimed that since he's trained in Aikido he was immune to being choked out unconscious. A stunt double Gene Labell (10th degree red belt in Judo, 9th degree black belt in Jiu Jitsu) for the movie Out of Justice was sick of Seagal's shit as well as his treatment of the the stunt doubles offered to choke him out. As soon as Seagal said 'go', not only did Labell choke him unconscious, but also made him shit his pants.
Some actuers are revered as heroes by their fans and the film producers participate in that; this way they can make more money. But there is one exception and that is actress and martial artist Jesse-Jane McParland (now 14 years old) JJ thinks herself an ordinary girl who likes to do martial arts and act. If you also know that she has acted in American films and TV Series since she was 8 years old and also with mean and leading roles and often as a fighter. She has remained an ordinary girl and has her feet on the ground. But in fact JJ is not an ordinary girl who does martial arts, because by the age of 11 she already had more than 300 Championship titles to her name in a multitude of martial arts, 51 of which were World Championship titles herself. As a 7-year-old she already won many Championships and was already 3 rimes World Champion in Kickboxing and a Black Belt World Champion Karate and Taekwondo.
@Grim Sleeper The stunt men, stunt coordinator and two off duty cops from LAPD that were there say it's not true. If it were the filming would have been shut down, and Seagal would have had to get a doctors physical to be approved to work there again, meanwhile the studio would have lost hundreds of thousands per day. gene would have been fired and sued for the lost money. It not only didn't happen, it couldn't have happened.
@@deejin25 There were also several people on set who back Labell's claim although they may have just had an agenda to embarrass Seagal. However, actors get hurt filming on set all the time without filming being halted, being choked out doesn't require a physical. And why would gene be sued when he said Seagal agreed to it to show his "secret technique" that stopped chokes. And Seagal's version of what happened was obvious bullshit. He told Ariel Helwani "nothing happened, he came to my trailer to discuss some moves, then he wanted to do some stretch's, he stretched my back and then I flipped over the top of him and said thank you and that was it". Anyone who's ever trained a day in their life in grappling sports knows back flipping over someone who's grabbing you from behind is choreographed Hollywood bullshit.
@@blacksocrates5071 Where did this fun FACT, originate. Back flipping in a trailer, must have been a custom built extra high trailer, two tall guys couldn't do a throw in any trailer.
Please site the original source so I can vett this. I'd like to either hear it or read about it from the sources mouth. Thank you.
A very high level view on the topic as most of Joe's discussions. This is to be expected from a person that can discuss origami in one show and quantum singularity in another. As a person who studied aikido for 13 years I can confidently say that Seagal was very solid in his prime days. Also most people who reason about aikido effectiveness should first define what exactly they are looking for. For example I may say that a gun is more effective than all martial arts combined but for some reason it doesn't stop people from learning those martial arts and for reasons that include not only kill or win everyone and everything. Aikido has unique philosophical aspects within that help building a balanced personality and a healthy body. Since there's no competition goal trainings are much more cooperative since people view you not as a competitor but a partner in understanding techniques and body mechanics that make those techniques work. Once you properly understood technique you need to spend a lot of time training it - this is no different from any other skill
"Aikido has unique philosophical aspects within that help building a balanced personality" Didn't seem to work with Seagal.
@@princejohn6560 "helps" doesn't mean that it's 100% effective. Also, I don't know how well you are acquainted with him but I don't know him personally and I wouldn't try to look as if I know him good enough to say if his personality is balanced or not.

Aikido is great if you happen to be attacked by a group of people who run at you one at a time, and all have a strong desire to throw themselves on the floor...
Aikido is great if you don't want to hurt your opponent (to avoid lawsuit etc). As a self defense tool against a violent attacker it's pretty useless compared to other martial arts.
Also because a violent attacker would strongly kick your ass... why would he lawsuit you?
Yeah nah, don’t pigeonhole the whole scope of the discipline from just Randori alone.
Even from an Aikido standpoint, Seagal isn't legit. His motion range is way to short when he does his iriminage. He looks like he just wants to walk by his opponent, this is basic stuf every beginner should learn. If you look at his wrist locks you even see his pupils acting like they feel it but they can escape so easily. There is a reason why the main aikido dojo's say his aikido is crap.
the secret of Aikido is the way of falling
Jaime, you the best! have to ask though; you mind keeping the videos the guys are watching up? Feel like I'm missing part of the discussion sometimes.
Steven Seagal's Aikido is really strong because he can mind control his enemies' bodies to move exactly where he needs them to be.
Wrong...God bless !

In Aikido, you don't practice getting good at fighting. In Aikido, you practice becoming good at resolving conflicts, so you don't have to fight. It is primarily an internal job of self awareness. If you choose to look at Aikido as a combatform, it is not Aikido. And for if Steven Seagal is legit? I don´t see his Aikido as the same Aikido which the founder Morihei Ueshiba taught. Just a perspective from a relativ long term Aikido practitioner :-)

you can resolve fights through words or even with the art of running away, so you dont have to fight
Then I'm better off learning how to run fast on long distances than learning that.

@@complex4059 Thats Mr. Gay to you, young man!
Most of your more modern grappling styles, Judo, Brazilian Jujitsu, and Aikido, were based on the Japanese style of Aikijujutsu. The person being thrown, "uke", is taught to roll out of the technique so as not to get seriously injured. Most of the techniques, when applied how actually intended, are devastating to limbs, and in some cases lethal to the person on the receiving end
if you don't exhale and tuck your chin in, when thrown, you can easily blow out your lungs or strike the base of your skull on a hard surface (the part of your brain that controls the movement of your diaphragm lies behind here.) Both situations can be fatal... break falls should be taught in all martial arts... especially TKD and Kickboxing where you can easily be taken off balance and thrown.

Aikido is effective if your opponents go-to-fighting “technique” is “the handshake”
Damaniator Ah, that got a laugh out of me. Thanks.
Haha
Is there any better technique!?
Damaniator ... or a sword 🗡 strike, or a knife attack, an attack with a bat or pipe, a punch, a kick, etc. Only an ignorant fool’s mouth insults a centuries old martial art he has never studied.
@Bob Donald that's awful
There is so much stuff on the internet about Steven Seagal that Joe could have brought up and made fun of-- instead Joe stays on topic and analyzes Aikido. No cheap shots. Joe has class.
He's also completely wrong about Segal, his Aikido and Aikido as a martial art, period. His views are very narrow-minded, focusing only from an MMA type of mindset. He picked exactly the opposite clips of Segal to show, as well. Check our the new one from Jesse Encamp "I trained with Steven Seagal for a day" and the videos by Viking Samurai. Also there are several legitimate, older martial arts masters who attest to Seagal's skills. He's a 7th Dan in Ten Shin Aikido, which is the pre-war style and completely aggressive. Joe Rogan may be a nice guy and good mma fighter but his knowledge of martial arts is greatly lacking. You'll find that out for yourself with some research.
@@MtnBadger joe rogan literally said in this video that segal is a legit martial artist just that aikido isnt a very good martial art for fighting other highly trained martial artistist. i mean hell even looking into aikido i would agree with him cause for it to be as effective as segal is showing you have to know more and be better at aikido than your opponent is at fighting in general cause just like the aikido user knows how to throw and redirect from your momentum highly trained fighters also know of those things and how to counter it, and a throw or redirect is alot easier to stop then say a takedown. also just going to say this aikido would be and is a very bad martial art for self defense unless you are essentially training your life for it since it is a very complicated and technical martial art that needs alot of training.
@@jordanwinter8954 That's exactly my point. Although he said Seagal is "legitimate," he immediately dismissed his abilities. He's completely wrong about his abilities because A) He doesn't practice the watered down, Americanized style of Aikido. B) Even the American version doesn't get enough credit. C) He has belts in several different arts, not just Aikido. You need to do a lot more research into Seagal, TenShin style Aikido and not take the common attitude just because it's what others say. I'm not trying to knock you, just to get people to realize that Rogan doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground when it comes to Seagal, Aikido, the different types of Aikido, what's offensive and defensive about Aikido (Ten Shin Aikido is almost all offensive in nature) and he's lost in the MMA mindset that whatever doesn't fit MMA doesn't work. Half the stuff you do in MMA sets you up to get your neck broken or blinded or whatever because, mma has rules. Actual fighting and Ten Shin Aikido doesn't. You have to get your brain out of the ring, into the street and away from what everyone else who doesn't know what they're talking about who keeps saying Aikido isn't a real fighting art, blah blah. Forget Seagal for a minute... There's a young Asian kid in Japan with an Aikido channel on the Tube, check him out, too. Have fun, take care.
@@MtnBadger he was also wrong about the origins of Aikido. Aikido was not invented by samurai to disarm someone with a sword. Ōsensei Morihei Ueshiba literally started out as a practitioner of Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu, and then studied Tenjin Shinyo-ryu, Yagyū Shingan-ryū, And then Judo. It was from all of these that Aikido was developed with Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu(what is regarded as the beginnings of modern jujitsu) being the primary foundation of the art. The problems come from the fact that after Ōsensei died many of his students made Aikido progressively softer until it’s what many think of today. Having taken a discipline of Aikido myself that was more inline with what it was originally I can honestly say it can be much more aggressive and functional than what people give it credit for.
@@JCole78 And as Ueshiba got older, the style (particularly in the US) got softer as well. There was a definite split in the philosophy of his teaching from others in Japan, just as there was in Tang Soo Do, when it split and also became Moo Doo Kuan.. Aikido and it's supporting styles you mentioned, in its pre-war form, as used by the Samurai, was to be able to fight if they lost their swords and a lot of the techniques were essentially the same, whether empty handed or with sword, depending upon the strike and physical practicality. Meaning thry weren't "just strikes," they had pattern and practice of the same intent. There's a lot more to the style, particularly TenShin Aikido, than most people realize.
As an old judoka he’s got that appraisal about right..respect to the man!!
It's good that Joe is very objective towards Aikido. I appreciate that as both Aikidoka and Judoka.

Aikido isn't meant to hurt people. It's meant to find peace, and to disarm while protecting your attacker. The Walking Dead had an episode called 'Here's Not Here' and it was about how Morgan learned Aikido and was able to heal from losing his son. Steven Seagal has always abused and misused Aikido. You're not supposed to hurt your opponent, in Aikido you're actually protecting them from hurting themselves in their attack. Aikido is a beautiful and spiritual thing to learn. not for fighting and hurting others.
Aikido is the weakest shii ever
@@Weepnot there's a video of a fighter Vs an akaido expert 🤣
@@Weepnot akaido expert maybe but not a fighting expert.
Aikido is quite literally a wartime martial art. It's definitely intended to strip away a weapon from someone and then end them with it. As much as sagal is an ass he is putting forth the effort to revive the version of aikido that was not worthless trash.
@@4themoney455 you can't fight any style probably, fatfuck.
Funny thing about akido. Katana v katana was extremly rare. It only happened in duels and in most senaios both guys get fatially wounded. There is a saying in japan that all samurais abide by. The katana only comes out if you want to die. Or as a last resort. Most battles were fought with ari ashigaru ( butchered that spelling probably) which translated means peasant spearman. The spears were a cross spear with a long spike at the end and a cross tip as well. Samurai were more horse archers than anything else. You would never find samurais fighting with katana in battles unless they are going to die anyways due to their horse dieing. The time katanas were used generally is in duels like a gun duel in western movies. So the application of akido is a completly made up one. Disarming a sword when you dont have a sword wouldnt happen. Your more likley to be killed by a panio than being attacked by a katana when ur unarmed. And in duels you wont be able to disarm the opponent if ur disarmed because u would have died already.
I read this and believe you know what your talking about.
@@dougefresh8029 I wrote this a long time ago. I obv don't have personal experience with this. But I did study Japanese history. Specially studied the edo period. Also studied medieval history and you dont find the wealthiest class of people fighting witg the common folk.

what if you're caught without your sword? Katana are sharp along one edge only (and tip)... you absolutely can disarm an attacker armed with a Katana. Especially, if you are well trained and conditioned to do so, as the Samurai were. That said... I prefer Wakizashi as close combat is more likely if you are ambushed... not that I ever carry mine in public or even around at home... most people just use guns for self defense these days anyway.
"A lot of marital arts that are limited"... exactly why Bruce Lee came up with Jeet Kune Do. Fighters should express themselves, specific arts doesn't allow for that. Styles shouldn't fit the fighters, the fighters should fit the styles. Bruce Lee had no style and trained as if he didn't. He didn't master styles, he mastered himself. Bruce Lee was the first on record to see martial arts as self expression, he did not believe in a art that dictates the artist. Bruce Lee was a TRUE marital artist.
That's is a true coment right there.Very well done my friend 👏
Nobody uses Jeet Kune Do. If Bruce Lee was all that he'd be world champ.
@@SovereignStatesman Jeet kune do isn't a style, it's a fighting expression of ones own ability that fits them. If fighters fight without any specific style then they are in fact using Jeet kune do. The very reason why Bruce created Jeet kune do was to unlimit the limited in styles. Some people just can't grasp that concept, and like Bruce said, styles limit ones true potential of what they could be.
@@SovereignStatesman JKD was never intended for tournament style fighting. It was about incapacitating your opponent. If you can find a legitimate teacher its worth learning, too many fakes out there. You can't cross-stomp someone breaking their leg in the octagon. The book he wrote Tao of Jeet Kune Do covers very little of the style itself.
I've seen at least 5 people use JKD in the UFC and all of them were totally mangled. Bruce was inspirational but he was not a pro fighter and against a pro he would not bring much to the table. Like I said though he inspired a ton of people including myself.

Informative video. I did some Taekwondo.
First of all, I'm your fan #JoeRogan. I'm also Aikido practitioner for over 20 years. Aikido came to the world, as Aikido, after the 2nd world war. The founder wanted an art to rebuild his country. In Aikido there are a lot of punch! A lot! It's very legit mate, and can be brutal, even lethal. So no, aikido wasn't created to disarm Japanese swordsmen. Yes, it was created based on traditional martial arts, mostly Daitoryu Aikijujutsu. Sokako Takeda was his main sensei. It's very easy to hurt, and there are nasty techniques that are very simple to apply. No pressure points needed. Cheers
The old man that Joe Rogan is referring to is Kyuzo Mifune a10th Dan Red Belt. Trained by Jigoro Kano Founder of Judo.
Any Judoka can name the greats. Having not practice judo in over 10 years, I knew it was Mifune. And in that aspect, don't use demonstration Segal for your Aikido debate. Like Mifune, you need to view footage of Ueshiba for a true appreciation of Aikido.

How do you measure yourself with other golfers? ...By height.
I knew Seagal tangentially for a brief time when his relationship with his producer partner was about to go South. At that time I saw him looking for a movie project that would have launched him into the ranks of the 'Last Samurai" and after he had gone through the Hollywood treatment of embarrassing him for his connection with serious Buddhism. He was recognized by major figure in American Buddhism as a Hereditary Tulku and returned major Buddhist figure, he was identified as a Treasure Finder which is no small thing in Buddhist lore. Hollywood critics and wags accused him of buying his position and being economically related with Buddhism. I think has knowledge of an efforts to practice and live the Buddhist lifestyle that he may have inherited -----they did not stand him in good stead with American newspaper treatments. Way back when, I knew him as a serious Buddhist.
Joe is basically right from what I have seen. I would venture to say that there are some specific things taught in aikido and related martial arts that are pretty useful, but it's a bit of a strange martial art. I also agree with Joe's analysis of, and I paraphrase, 'the techniques are more useful if you have tremendous physical attributes.' That would be my take away on that one. It can be a good addition to already existing training in grappling, wrestling, judo and martial arts as a whole though.
Joe jumping in circles to not outright say Segal can’t fight, at all
@Shane McCoy he'd kill him. Anyone that's able to throw a decent punch or kick could. He's never trained properly in an actual combat sport and even his black belt status is questionable when you've had to see films and videos of him
Street Wise Hercules His black belt status ain’t really questionable. Aikido however is.
@@ricksterdrummer2170 it is questionable because he lied about the time back then in Japan. He gave totally wrong times in regard to his japan time. Also he only was able to lead to dojo because he was with the daughter of the dojo master before him. He is a liar and not legit at all. He would get destroyed by every real fighter.
Joe is a serious beast in his own right... He has spent many hours on the mats. As many or more on the mats against top level competitors, as he has on the comedy stage, TV, and the bong combined... Okay throwing the bong in there may have made it questionable.lol Joe is a beast though, and, I believe, still holds records from his youth and early days as a competition strike fighter. Don't quote me on that though. Steven Seagal is more than just an Aikido fighter, and to pigeonhole him as such, I feel would be a grave mistake. If you know much about martial arts, you can see a mixture and variation of multiple styles and disciplines combined into one fluid moving and fairly effective style of his own. You can see styles such as Wing Chun, Hapkido throws and stop kicks techniques, judo, as well as hints of Chin Na, all combined with Aikido, minus the BS extra nonsense steps, to make what you're actually seeing when watching Steven Seagal. Granted much of it is completely choreographed and set for the big screen. However broken down, with the excess bullshit thrown aside and adapted for the streets, it can be used as quite the effective self defense in most cases in a street style situation. Granted, this is my opinion, and to be taken as just that. One man's opinion. What training I have and where from doesn't really matter, this is just the opinion of a man who decided many years ago to give up martial arts and focus on bull riding instead. Now you ever want fact based statements about how to ride bulls or the different style of different riders, this old guy might be someone you'd be interested to speak to.lol

Max respect for Mr Seagal, plus he speaks perfect Japanese.
I used to do judo at ~16 years old. You will be like a rag at the hands of someone more skilled at the same weight category. But that involves your whole body and it's weight in addition to opponents center of mass , unlike aikido.
I’ve practiced Aikido for 7 years (not many in Aikido terms). My advice for anyone that wants to learn to fight is to search elsewhere. While certain techniques have practical application, in my opinion that is not the purpose for practicing Aikido. This I say to Aikidoists who argue with people on videos such as this one about how much it can be used to kick ass. They are missing the mark, just as those that say it is trash are. Aikido is focused inward. It is about gaining mastery over the self, learning your center of balance, learning how to control your entire body, being aware of your entire body and how it interacts with another. The benefits can spread to the rest of ones life. The learning curve is Very steep. I practice with new people all the time who have done other martial arts and their self control is limited, people that box or do jiujitsu. They flail about and can only clash with force and muscle. I am physically stronger than my Sensei but he can move me with little physical effort even if I am resisting with all my strength. This is not mumbo-jumbo, giving it up for the old man. It is decades of experience. He is moving where I cannot resist, outside of where my strength can be brought to bear. It is not mystical. It is physics, understanding of the bones, muscles, and balance of the human body. Aikido is both physical and philosophical. Both aspects must be studied. It is a martial art but it is also the art of peace. Is an art that strives to do no harm to the attacker practical? Maybe not. But is there a benefit in the struggle toward such a lofty goal? I have seen it in my own life in abundance.
This makes a lot of sense, you must have a really good Sensei.
V Power Thank you. One of the cool things about Aikido is that, while it is based on very old arts, it is itself very new. My Sensei’s teacher was a direct student of O Sensei, the founder of Aikido. So he can tell stories of those people and that time and his techniques are very fundamental and very close to what O Sensei was teaching.
Grahamhg Don’t know if I agree with the terms kata/forms but it is true that there is no competition. Basically you practice the techniques with a partner, usually four times each, back and forth. Different dojo practice in different ways as far as how much resistance the attacker is using. Some places are very soft and some are very martial, leaning more to old aiki-jujitsu. Where I practice is in the middle and it depends on who is practicing with who. But the only kata I’ve done is a jo kata and that is not technically considered Aikido.
Aikido is about (humbly) evading and neutralizing threats - true pacifism - developed during a rough, violent time in Japan where the primary weapon of choice was still the katana. If anything, it was pretty revolutionary (for them at the time) and under appreciated. We westerners look at the Japanese fondly now as silly ppl who love video games and Hello Kitty but forget that before WWII they were a deadly world power that had a brutal, cruel and rigid feudal social structure.
Grahamhg Ah, I understand. There are differences between shodokan and mainline Aikido.
Aikido, like most traditional martial arts, is like an antique watch: interesting, fun for the enthusiast, but not very practical.
Except Aikido isn't a traditional martial art, it's an imitation, hence the "-do" suffix. Traditional Japanese martial arts use the "-jutsu" suffix, and even then they were part of a school and should have the school's name attached to them. For example Katori Shinto-ryu jujutsu varies from Yagyu Shingan-ryu jujutsu. Same with their kenjutsu and sojutsu etc, and other schools' martial arts vary from theirs.
@@red5llaw Karate is not a traditional Japanese martial art, it is an Okinawan martial art. Might sound like mere semantics, but prior to the Meiji Restoration Okinawa was the Ryukyu Kingdom and not part of Japan proper. Though Japan did make Okinawa a vassal state of the Satsuma domain during the Edo period, they were prohibited from practicing Japanese martial arts or culture and had more in common with China. In turn traditional, historical karate has more in common with Chinese wushu than Japanese bujutsu. By the way the reason for this prohibition by Japan after their conquering of the Ryukyu Kingdom was to allow the Ryukyu Kingdom to serve as a loophole for trade with China, which had otherwise cut off trade with Japan.
Not to wade too deep into the argument, but to my understanding -do as a suffix describes a refinement and synthesis of techniques with a Zen Buddhist philosophy. The founder of Shotokan karate-do, Gichin Funakoshi, explicitly describes this in his autobiography. Tasked with presenting Okinawan karate to the Meiji Emperor, he consulted masters in several different schools in order to develop Shotokan. He also changed the first character of the word karate from something that meant 'Chinese' as well as 'empty' to a character with strong Buddhist connotations. Jigoro Kano, the founder of modern judo, eliminated a lot of the chokes and dangerous techniques in jujitsu and added his own philosophical elements. Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of modern aikido, was an intensely religious man and member of the Omotokyo Shinto sect. Aikido schools still incorporate certain Shinto practices as well as Ueshiba's ideas about handling conflicts. My initial observation about the utility of traditional martial arts is derived from Dave Lowry, author of The Karate Way column in Black Belt Magazine. He's written a number of books about the history of traditional Japanese martial arts and his own path in them. So whether or not aikido is legitimately traditional or not is, to my mind, immaterial. As a practical system against a trained opponent, aikido is not all that effective. As a method of physical and mental discipline, it's not bad.
Vincent Cuenca: and designed to avoid being spotted. There were LAWS against civilian combat in most countries, so when people got out of the military, then they claimed they were just teaching others to DANCE. LITERALLY. Some morons today even think that martial arts BEGAN as dancing... and I say "so what did the ARMY do?" LOL
You should read about Takeda Sokaku and his relationship with Morihei Ueshiba to understand what aikido is. It's a fascinating story

Akido is for self-defense. It really has no straight-up offensive moves. So if your opponent doesn't come at you, there's nothing you can do. And it is far more effective against larger, stronger opponents, since you are turning their weight and motion against them.
