Bollocks.

what billy blanks?
or akido as a wank art?

 

[Structaural]

The latter.

 

[CharlieAddict]

not too keen on akido and i reckon it's pretty useless against a trained fighter.

too soft with no offensive but i suppose it depends on the artist.
but seagal is too fat to be taken seriously...

 

[Structaural]

Check out Yoshinkan Aikido, that's not soft and the body conditioning puts boxing to shame.

 

[CharlieAddict]

just wiki-ed it.

yeah...that looks pretty hardcore.

but that's when MA becomes a kapap type thing isn't it? ie, use by the forces.

okay, you win. seagal is slightly harder than billy blanks.

 

[Structaural]

I don't think Seagal did Yoshinkan though...
It already existed before appropriated by the Japanese Riot Police. Bit like Taekwondo and Tang Soo Do it used to be unified to a certain exent but someone wanted to concentrate on the harder elements, developed it and then politics got involved...

(look out for a book called Angry White Pyjamas - skinny white guy goes and trains in Yoshinkan in Japan to rather amusing effect).

Old Steve did a cracking interview with Richand and Judy a while back. Lollerskates

(can't find it on youtube though)

There's something I like about those old 80s and early 90s action films. They're so silly, and he's definitely more po-faced than Schwarzenegger or Van Damme so he's the funniest of the lot IMO. Plus I love the names of his characters- Nico Toscani, Gino Felino...

Also I love how the above poll is anonymous, so people can vote 'not badass' without fearing for their safety.

I never knew he had a dancehall album out.



Now you know too.

Shouldn't the tread title be Steven Seagal: Asshole
