Ever since high school I have been a Steven Seagal fan. Now he is not the best actor in the world, but he is a legitimate martial artist. He is the first caucasian, perhaps the first non Japanese to have a dojo in Tokyo. I came across this documentary about 3 or 4 years ago. It highlights his years as an instructor, before he became an action movie star. He brought a dynamic power to a style known for its grace and subtlety. Mike from class told me a story about a seminar of Seagal's he went to and how one of the guys he was with didn't like Seagal. This friend was hoping to get a chance to attack Seagal in a demonstration that Seagal always does at his seminars. When the time came this guy got picked to participate in the demo. When he charged in with full intent to plow over Seagal. This guy got leveled and left lying in a heap on the ground. I imagine it looked something like these guys in this video. Enjoy.
Be Safe, Train Hard
