If you’re willing to overlook the fact that one is significantly more dangerous than the other (Putin poses a serious threat to the Ukraine; Seagal merely poses one to good taste) they are essentially one in the same. It was destiny
Steven Seagal used to overwhelm Russian and Serbian bad guys in Hollywood movies with his martial arts techniques. Now Serbia wants him to share his secrets.
Serbian officials offered the veteran American actor and producer a job Tuesday training Serbian special police forces in Aikido, a Japanese martial art that Seagal is famous for in his blockbuster movies.
“When you have such a famous star coming to Serbia, who loves our country and our people, our desire is to have him back again,” the mayor of Belgrade, Sinisa Mali, said after meeting Seagal.
Seagal has received the royal treatment during his three-day stay in the Serbian capital, including meeting with Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic and the country’s pro-Russian president, Tomislav Nikolic.
The action hero is among the Western celebrities who have socialized with Russian President Vladimir Putin and praised him as well as Russia despite the deep chill in diplomatic relations between Moscow and the West.
Serbia — a traditional Russian ally — has officially sought EU membership but has been struggling to overcome strong opposition from pro-Kremlin nationalists.
While in Belgrade, the 63-year-old Seagal received an award from the Belgrade-based Brothers Karic Foundation for his humanitarian work and said he was proud to get the same honor that Putin once did.
The head of the Karic family, Bogoljub Karic, was given asylum in Russia after he fled Serbia when its previous government charged him with corruption and the embezzlement of millions of dollars in state funds.

typical comment...."gay", "its not practical", "its useful only in action movie" etc
they dont understand aikido at all.....idiots
the goal of aikido is to reach to a stage of "no enemy".
aikido rejects the classic way in which an output respond to an input where there are a series of inputs expected beforehand and if an unanticipated input occurs, it will regard it as a foreign matter and exclude. and it means making an enemy.
meanwhile in aikido an output synchronizes with an input. the way deconstructs the dualism of friend/enemy or strong/weak. aikidos training is to learn the way not only in your brain but also in your "body". and to reach to a stage of "no enemy".
this type of way is very the last thing westerners, especially merican, understand.

I don't believe in magic.

What's he right about? That aikido is the path to Nirvana? If there's some kind of spiritual benefit to aikido for some people, that's fine. However, that doesn't have anything to do with whether or not it's effective.
The idea behind it...not saying I believe in Nirvana or that Aikido will take you there but he's right about the philosophy of it.Samurai_Jerk wrote:There are definitely some things in aikido that can be useful for defending yourself but overall it's not an effective form of combat.
