In praise of Steven Seagal...............

[ComedyPilot]

I just love his scene in Out for Justice The move at 4:58 is Kote Geishi & is very effective, I have been on the receiving end of it.

Ah, the mighty SS....love his 'Lawman' show!

Like Steven, I also cook.

 

[Ghost Donkey]

Do we have any fans of his music present?

 

[ComedyPilot]

Good idea, Steven Seagal, the Musical'

'Im gonna kick your ass, oh yes I aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmm

Mojo Preist?
Yes I have the album.. and it's really not that bad. A cracking version of Dust My broom is the best track on the album.

I take it that this isn't the current SS who always wears a long coat to hide the paunch, waves his arms around a lot in chop socky fashion and never does anything really agile?

I believe this is an 'In Praise of Steven Seagal' thread.

Anything not praising him does not belong, and would be better placed in an 'In Ridicule of Steven Seagal' thread.

That would be a considerably larger thread.

I used to work with a guy called Steven Seagal...I could never mention his name in conversation (or worse still, in meetings) without at least cracking into a big grin, no matter how hard I tried. I could never quite get it out of my system.

My eldest son is interested in taking up Aikido - partly, I suspect, through having seen Steven Seagal. He is also considering Tai Chi, which I believe shares similar concepts ('soft' circular movements), but I guess it depends on what classes he can find. Is Tai Chi 'better' than Aikido ? Does anyone have any experience of either ?

Can anyone recommend a martial art, suitable for a tall & strong 15 year old ? He is not an aggressive type, so I'm not certain karate would suit him.

 

[Over The Hill]

Can we have a Steven Seagal passed me by thread? I have never heard of any of the listed films.


Is he related to Jonathan Livingston ???

Judo.

If you think that then you miss the whole point of learning a Martial Art.

Edit: Thinks back to the scene in The Karate Kid when they are both out on the boat..

What I really meant, is that he is quite a passive lad and I'm not sure that he'd put much effort into kicking or punching.
