This video is evidence that aikido does NOT work against multiple opponents. These students, who have presumably been training for years, completely fail against only three people.
@siasti Your an idiot. They're not going to do break there arms, they are going to flip, and stay safe. If you met one of these kids on the street, try them then. Tough Guy.
@leptiric51 In a real fight, the "3 attackers" would all attack at once, not - very conveniently - one after the other. I know of no aikido technique that would nullify 3 attackers at once. You'd be better to go with strikes or kicks rather than some wrist or arm lock.
I think the first part at least looks like hoax, because the people seems to dive (3 and 4 against Seagal). But the knives part is very good alright... Go hair !!
This video is fantastic to watch. The man the master the best of the best. I would love to be able to do things like him. But a last I feel that I am to old at 67years old. If I had my time over again I would certainly train myself to Steven Seagal's methods. Now I get great pleasure in watching his videos of martial arts. His singing and his gift as a musician as well. I would love to meet him I person before I die. I love is films as soon as they are released I will buy them. They are worth w
Can't watch a martial arts video without 500 morons arguing about how ineffective that particular fighting style is. You wannabe fighters are all the same.. Ignorant and arrogant.
@teenydriller those are kids from his dojo dude -___- you expect him to select big fat guys? and the reason why everybody seems tiny next to him is becuase hes large and 6'4 tall.
I've seen real Aikido in action. Steven Seagal is a joke!!!. You can not flip a person in mid-air like that. The arm would snap. Also, how come there are no real tournament fights of him. It's always staged ballet with the same partner for past 20 years. He's just a showman.
@Jraax dumbass, dumbass, dumbass. They break the fall so they dont get hurt.Aikido is a self-defense art and it's creator believed that you should solve conflict without violence and was completely against violence.You are a major cretin.
First of all, youre the one being impractical. They wouldnt last twelve rounds because real martial artists try not to fight. And a good martial artist has enough extrasensory perception that they can tell when someone has a killing intent about them. They notice the little things. Boxing becomes useless in a street fight when they go for you legs. boxing couldnt help you if your opponent has a mastery range of kicks.
@insertuberusername I disagree...let me ask you a question..steven seagal is a aikido master right? He is one of the best in aikido that we know of right?..Mike tyson is a master at boxing..honestly, who do you think would win in a fight?
The point is this is totally fake. There is no way him or anyone can flip people with such ease. Its impossible. If it was real they would be Aikido fighters with UFC titles. The students are going with it. Look at the video! They are running at him and throwing themselves around. They dont approch him with intention of attacking, they run at him with the intention of been thrown. This is not real martial arts. I do real martial arts: Kickboxing, Wrestling and Jiu Jitsui. This is not real!
@itsBlueSlims Some martial artists actually respect their discipline and prefer not to combat sweaty testosterone filled men, for a worthless, exaggerated title. and 0:49, that throw is fake? look at the way the kid jerks thru the air! Kickboxing is slightly ineffective because there is no direct way to neutralize your opponent, youve got to fight til a ko. In a street fight against multiple opponents this you would seriously exhaust yourself, or risk other unnecessary injury due to this limit.
@insertuberusername "kickboxing is slightly ineffective because there is no direct way to neutralize your opponent"????? are you crazy??? so knocking someone out cold is ineffective?? but throwing someone on the ground is effective? your crazy bro..so mike tyson or steven seagal who wins?? i want to hear this
@mattyblues101 I agree with you, whoever said Kickboxing is innefective is an idiot. But Aikido is equally effective, in Aikido its about neutralizing your opponent not hurting them but trust me if someone with Aikido training wanted to hurt you, he could easily break your arms and if he slams you hard enough your ribs.
@itsBlueSlims Nice one, so while you're shagging a guy to death, his friends have the opportunity to stab/kick you. You would be a complete retard to think that by studying a select few martial arts, you have self-defence nailed. Bruce Lee's philosophy of 'having no way as the way' would be much more apt for the attitude of a real martial artist. You would also be foolish to assume that being a UFC champion really means anything in terms of street fighting.
@Overfiend002 UFC is a disgrace to all Martial Arts, instead of being based on grace, courtesy and respect, it's just a load of roidraged men hugging each other for the delight of a bunch of rednecks
What? This is ridiculous. Who will actually come running toward you sticking their arms out ready for you to do this to them? This wil definately NOT work in a real life situation.
Segal is quite talented and trained very hard, but I remember when Gene LaBell (spelling?) choked him out. You can't let yourself get too big for your britches.
When Mr.Seagal was still a white belter, of course he hasn't achieved yet his speed and professional techniques in aikido! all of us don't have.. until we advance to black belter!
The reason these people flip when he does a wrist throw is so wrist is not damaged. If he done any of this to you and you didn't go with force he creating on wrist it probs snap. I've studied aikido and now I study Krav Maga and we do a similar move for knife disarm with wrist and as most people learn the first time you have a cavalier throw done on wrist it hurts like bitch and you slam in to floor if you don't go with it. So haters research before you bitch because you know nothing all you wa
I honestly don't understand how you're able to learn so many counters and keep them so effective. I'm still a bit skeptical, but it's starting to really prove it's usefullness.
Thats great if you happen to run into a gang that will just run at you like a goup of dumb asses but in the real world people get bum rushed and beat down.

@Mr3whiteboys not exactly. differing martial arts between the two. while segal is a master of aikido, norris trained alongside bruce lee and actually developed his own style, chun kuk do. it would truly be a fight deserving of the $50 pay-per-view price though.
Steven Seagal is no match with me...................... in terms of eating ^_^ joke only
Seriously, this video is very inspiring! However, Steven has not yet show if his art can be use to defeat APNs in my country---the Philippines. APNs are a serious treat to our National Security.
Any martial art is just as good as the partitioner. The average thug on the street that would attack you would not even stand a chance against any discipline if trained well in it.
No doubt he is a master, but lets be honest. In a real fight, he should be disabling his opponents instead of just taking them to the ground. They keep getting back up. If the technique were Krav Maga, they would go down and stay down.
Steven Seagal is a good martial artist and Aikido is a good style...but lets be real..no one! i mean no one! even Seagal, Bruce Lee or any martial artist in the world is gonna be able to hand 5 or 6 guys...unless youve got some sort of weapon..than you might have a chance..
@ChildNinja21 it's a problem if you want to compete in aggressive competitions, but that's clearly not what Aikido is about, so it's a stupid criticism. But then again, many Aikido practicioners also train in other styles, so it hardly matters
What a monster! Seagal has insane balance, speed and the best awareness I've seen of any martial artist. Too be in the moment like he used to be in randori required all of the above and a mind empty of everything but the opponents before him. It takes a LOT of practice to be that fluid and self-aware. Something most martial artists, let alone ordinary people, can only dream of.
K voice of reason it has nothing to do with his technique it's Aikido the best form of self-defense and basically anyone could learn this martial arts. It's not about punching and kicking. It's all about natural movements and using one's own momentum against them. Doesn,t matter how strong you are and also two hands are always going to be stronger than one. That's the essential part of Aikido is to intercept the attacker while he or she's attacking you. Thankyou and always God bless the good.
@ajizzlejiujitsudog You're an idiot. If you would refer to the previous comments you would understand why your an idiot. They are not being thrown, they are jumping and rolling theirselves. They have to properly roll or they may break or dislocate something. Normally, the attacker would not be flying through the air like that. They would just get their arm or shoulder broken.
@DaRealMaverick hahaha. Aikido is theory. In order for your techniques to work you have to rely on someone reaching out to grab you. How do you expect to catch a fighters wrist who is an elite boxer?
@ajizzlejiujitsudog First of all, Aikido is not a theory. It originated during the days of the Samurai, which is why a lot of the techniques require defense against grabbing. The samurai were more vulnerable on the ground. But O-Sensei refined the technique to include defenses against punches and kicks. They don't target the wrist. They target the elbow, then wrist. The wrist is far to fast to catch. The elbow doesn't travel very far or fast and is much easier to control.
@ajizzlejiujitsudog What school doesn't train at full speed? Besides the intial learning phase of the technique, everything is at full speed. I am in the National Guard and am a Police Officer full time. I have used Aikido in arrests and against insurgents in Iraq. It does work in actual combat. The individual performing it has to be very disciplined when applying it.
You cannot judge Aikido based off what you are seeing here. Judging Aikido based off this video is like a person coming into an MMA gym and watching the guys shrimping across the floor in a drill. Well of course their first initial thought is going to be "WELL THIS ISN'T FIGHTING, HOW IS THAT GOING TO HELP ME DEFEND MYSELF"
The concept of Aiki is very complex, and you have to pretty much be taught it, to understand it.
@DaRealMaverick I noticed that your name includes jiu jitsu. You do realize that Jiu Jitsu, Judo, and Aikido share a common ancestory in Martial Arts. Aikido uses the same joint manipulation as Jiu Jitsu. I'm just saying, because I am a Black Belt in Jiu Jitsu and Kick Boxing. I'm currently a Blue Belt in Aikido and believe me, it does work against actual attacks.
Aikido is distinct style that is fairly difficult to detect to outsiders. Furthermore it depends on where you live, but how many people in your area actually do Aikido? Even with a few, how many of them get into fights? One of the principle aspects of Aikido is to know how to not get into fights in the first place. However, there is was an Aikido instructor here in LA that would take his top students to bars to start fights to test their skills.
@soSiccK have you ever tried aikido? I can tell you that it may look like acting because people roll and jump to avoid breaking bones and injuring themselves, in a real fight they'd most likely be out of the fight after 1 move because of broken bones or other injuries.
@GeneralArrow sorry but thats bullshit. many traditional martial arts have been proven to be impractical and unrealistic in everyday life. these guys throw themselves around llike stunt men and its got nothing to do with the techniques that a mixed martial artist would easily be able to block or counter with jui jitsu. like when hes throwing guys around with staffs the guys just hold onto the staff and get flipped over whereas realistically you would just let go of the staff.
@josephthemighty they aren't getting thrown around, they're jumping around like that themselves to prevent the realistic onslaught of broken bones and joints they'd be receiving if they hadn't.
@josephthemighty The very first lessons that are taught in Aikido is the proper falling and tumbling technique. You aren't allowed to practice anything else until you have established that you are able to prevent damage to your body. If you aren't prepared to roll or fall properly you will either dislocate or break something. Jiu Jitsu and Aikido are extremely similar, both utilize joint manipulation and submissions which is why Aikido doesn't require a lot of arm strength.
@GeneralArrow sorry but thats bullshit. many traditional martial arts have been proven to be impractical and unrealistic in everyday life. these guys throw themselves around llike stunt men and its got nothing to do with the techniques that a mixed martial artist would easily be able to block or counter with jui jitsu. like when hes throwing guys around with staffs the guys just hold onto the staff and get flipped over whereas realistically you would just let go of the staff.
he throws them like they are some puppets that he controls,an they are about 150 lbs each,so i dont think so he could do that to a real MMA fighter...
Ok, so here’s what makes a lot of this stuff show rather than substance. The “assailant” carrying out the attack is also an Aikido student/practitioner, right? So it would seem reasonable that they’d know what sorts of attacks not to do in order to avoid getting twisted, clotheslined, subdued, and thrown around like ragdolls. Yet each and every time, Seagal (or any other Aikedo practitioner) can throw or subdue his assailants with the utmost ease. Aikido is mostly an act.
@godsnemesis1 compare it to pro wrestling. is pro wrestling fake? im sure you said yes. WRONG its real. ask kevin nash when hes drunk at a bar to see what would happen if he gave you one of his famous finishers. YOU WOULD DIE and he's big enough to do it to you. Aikido is almost the same principle but in a more perceptive reality, it has much more honor. you need to open your eyes to martial arts and what they really are. Aikido is one of the greatest martial-arts on earth, you just don't see it
@Tixiel hahaha you mean ass-kicked but still very funny. i believe your version was the funniest, i'm an english teacher so I'm just putting in some extra time. good luck with your english and aikido :)
@iSpeedoz So what? They're taking what they learned and putting it to use... there's no point in calling yourself a martial artist if you can't even do any of the moves without practicing.
Now that is a martial artist! His timing, unwavering sense of balance, lightning fast technique selection with nothing forced is inspiring to watch - like a *Japanese* Aikikai grandmaster. Yet at the same time he has the speed and awareness of a pre-WW2 hard trained former swordsman aikijujitsu (somewhat like the rarer current Yoshinkan Aikido grandmasters). Goes to show what years of studying karate, kendo, judo and aikido in Japan under the old masters and talent will do for you!
sucha fuckin worthless martial art id like to see steven seagal fight jon jones see what he does when someone actualy tries to hit him instead of running streight at him flailing their arms waiting to get thrown to the ground
i only got a blue belt in aikido before i quit. but that was enough to know what this man was doing, no efforts at all doing those. and if you think his ukes are acting flipping around. ask a white belt to do a kotegashi or nikkyo on you. you will know why they have to fall instantly
I like him and Van Dam but back then he would have taken Van Dam out so fast it's not even funny because he was better and faster with his hands and he did not play around he was more intense more serious and he would try to take you out as fast as possible there would be no you kick then i kick then you kick again he would not toy with you.
@Americant47 Steven Seagal is legitimately one of the best living master of Aikido. I only just started at a local dojo, and already I can see skills that not even my sensei is able to replicate and he is a 2nd dan.
My dream is to fight with him and defeat him! I don't understand why he decided to do movies instead of continue the fate of a samurai and teached aikido... But it's his life so go on! But i really wish to fight and defeat him. One day i'll do!
Take one Aikido class, and you will stop being doubtful. There's a reason police and military don't make fun of the fat guy who is showing them techniques.
My husband got the chance to take him on at one of his demonstrations at the dojo where my husband studied... and my husband got his ass handed to him...big time... in less than 30 seconds.

Steven Seagal is a good martial artist and Aikido is a good style...but lets be real..no one! i mean no one! even Seagal, Bruce Lee or any martial artist in the world is gonna be able to hand 5 or 6 guys...unless youve got some sort of weapon..than you might have a chance..

The most common negative remark I get about aikido is this:
You learn no attacks.
Who gives a damn, if you're anything like this guy, nobody will get a punch or kick in before their face is shoved to the ground or against a wall.
Go Steven Seagal!

@ChildNinja21 it's a problem if you want to compete in aggressive competitions, but that's clearly not what Aikido is about, so it's a stupid criticism. But then again, many Aikido practicioners also train in other styles, so it hardly matters

What a monster! Seagal has insane balance, speed and the best awareness I've seen of any martial artist. Too be in the moment like he used to be in randori required all of the above and a mind empty of everything but the opponents before him. It takes a LOT of practice to be that fluid and self-aware. Something most martial artists, let alone ordinary people, can only dream of.

K voice of reason it has nothing to do with his technique it's Aikido the best form of self-defense and basically anyone could learn this martial arts. It's not about punching and kicking. It's all about natural movements and using one's own momentum against them. Doesn,t matter how strong you are and also two hands are always going to be stronger than one. That's the essential part of Aikido is to intercept the attacker while he or she's attacking you. Thankyou and always God bless the good.

ajizzlejiujitsudog 8 months ago
@ajizzlejiujitsudog You're an idiot. If you would refer to the previous comments you would understand why your an idiot. They are not being thrown, they are jumping and rolling theirselves. They have to properly roll or they may break or dislocate something. Normally, the attacker would not be flying through the air like that. They would just get their arm or shoulder broken.
DaRealMaverick 7 months ago
@DaRealMaverick hahaha. Aikido is theory. In order for your techniques to work you have to rely on someone reaching out to grab you. How do you expect to catch a fighters wrist who is an elite boxer?
ajizzlejiujitsudog 7 months ago
@ajizzlejiujitsudog First of all, Aikido is not a theory. It originated during the days of the Samurai, which is why a lot of the techniques require defense against grabbing. The samurai were more vulnerable on the ground. But O-Sensei refined the technique to include defenses against punches and kicks. They don't target the wrist. They target the elbow, then wrist. The wrist is far to fast to catch. The elbow doesn't travel very far or fast and is much easier to control.

@DaRealMaverick Do you train full speed at your school? Have you actually seen aikido work well outside of your school?
ajizzlejiujitsudog 7 months ago
@ajizzlejiujitsudog What school doesn't train at full speed? Besides the intial learning phase of the technique, everything is at full speed. I am in the National Guard and am a Police Officer full time. I have used Aikido in arrests and against insurgents in Iraq. It does work in actual combat. The individual performing it has to be very disciplined when applying it.
DaRealMaverick 7 months ago
@DaRealMaverick I would have to agree with Maverick here.
You cannot judge Aikido based off what you are seeing here. Judging Aikido based off this video is like a person coming into an MMA gym and watching the guys shrimping across the floor in a drill. Well of course their first initial thought is going to be "WELL THIS ISN'T FIGHTING, HOW IS THAT GOING TO HELP ME DEFEND MYSELF"
The concept of Aiki is very complex, and you have to pretty much be taught it, to understand it.
BlackShinobiShozoku 7 months ago
@DaRealMaverick I noticed that your name includes jiu jitsu. You do realize that Jiu Jitsu, Judo, and Aikido share a common ancestory in Martial Arts. Aikido uses the same joint manipulation as Jiu Jitsu. I'm just saying, because I am a Black Belt in Jiu Jitsu and Kick Boxing. I'm currently a Blue Belt in Aikido and believe me, it does work against actual attacks.

@4210jj if youd have you wouldn't even know it.
Aikido is distinct style that is fairly difficult to detect to outsiders. Furthermore it depends on where you live, but how many people in your area actually do Aikido? Even with a few, how many of them get into fights? One of the principle aspects of Aikido is to know how to not get into fights in the first place. However, there is was an Aikido instructor here in LA that would take his top students to bars to start fights to test their skills.

@soSiccK have you ever tried aikido? I can tell you that it may look like acting because people roll and jump to avoid breaking bones and injuring themselves, in a real fight they'd most likely be out of the fight after 1 move because of broken bones or other injuries.

@GeneralArrow sorry but thats bullshit. many traditional martial arts have been proven to be impractical and unrealistic in everyday life. these guys throw themselves around llike stunt men and its got nothing to do with the techniques that a mixed martial artist would easily be able to block or counter with jui jitsu. like when hes throwing guys around with staffs the guys just hold onto the staff and get flipped over whereas realistically you would just let go of the staff.
josephthemighty 8 months ago
@josephthemighty they aren't getting thrown around, they're jumping around like that themselves to prevent the realistic onslaught of broken bones and joints they'd be receiving if they hadn't.
TheSacredFox 8 months ago
@josephthemighty The very first lessons that are taught in Aikido is the proper falling and tumbling technique. You aren't allowed to practice anything else until you have established that you are able to prevent damage to your body. If you aren't prepared to roll or fall properly you will either dislocate or break something. Jiu Jitsu and Aikido are extremely similar, both utilize joint manipulation and submissions which is why Aikido doesn't require a lot of arm strength.

Ok, so here’s what makes a lot of this stuff show rather than substance. The “assailant” carrying out the attack is also an Aikido student/practitioner, right? So it would seem reasonable that they’d know what sorts of attacks not to do in order to avoid getting twisted, clotheslined, subdued, and thrown around like ragdolls. Yet each and every time, Seagal (or any other Aikedo practitioner) can throw or subdue his assailants with the utmost ease. Aikido is mostly an act.

WRONG its real. ask kevin nash when hes drunk at a bar to see what would happen if he gave you one of his famous finishers. YOU WOULD DIE and he's big enough to do it to you. Aikido is almost the same principle but in a more perceptive reality, it has much more honor. you need to open your eyes to martial arts and what they really are. Aikido is one of the greatest martial-arts on earth, you just don't see it

Now that is a martial artist! His timing, unwavering sense of balance, lightning fast technique selection with nothing forced is inspiring to watch - like a *Japanese* Aikikai grandmaster. Yet at the same time he has the speed and awareness of a pre-WW2 hard trained former swordsman aikijujitsu (somewhat like the rarer current Yoshinkan Aikido grandmasters). Goes to show what years of studying karate, kendo, judo and aikido in Japan under the old masters and talent will do for you!

I like him and Van Dam but back then he would have taken Van Dam out so fast it's not even funny because he was better and faster with his hands and he did not play around he was more intense more serious and he would try to take you out as fast as possible there would be no you kick then i kick then you kick again he would not toy with you.
