[QUOTE="BranKetra"][QUOTE="Palantas"]Actually, Steven Seagal is very good. I find it great to read people's posts on how Aikido is ineffective when Steven Seagal, a 7th degree black belt in Aikido, has taught UFC fighters. I guess some part of that martial art is effective. He didn't teach them anything, but give some hints how to perform a kick better they already knew better. Steven Seagal doesn't have any legit fighting record either. At least Jean Claude Van Damme and Chuck Norris have a legit full contact background. If you open up a book about Karate or Aikido, it assumes that the attacker will attack you a certain way or that the one assaulting you is a moron. In the early days of the UFC where clothes were allowed and were there was almost no rules, the Karate and Kung Fu guys were getting their butts handed to them by wrestlers, kickboxers and Sambo practitioners. Being in films is not an indication on how effective it is. Judokas generally perform very well in MMA bouts and Vale Tudo. Yet when was the last time you saw an action film with Judo? Clearly, you and I watched different videos.I'm sorry, but Stevel Seagal does Aikido, and he's in movies, so it must be effective.
