Steven Seagal was a big deal Aikido master. Akido is considered a joke today. Aikido master will lose all matches against Brazilian Jujitsu and MMA. You can see the YouTube videos.
But I was impressed by Steven Seagal Aikido back in the day AND his first three movies were very good.
Looks like he’s been out of training for a while...............
Akido, Jujitsu, all them are a joke. I’ve seen military dudes who would destroy all of them - these guys will hit you in every bad place you can imagine, over and over, fast — they’ll poke your eyes, slap your ears, crush your trachea, etc. and they take about two seconds to do it.
