Steven Seagal? Who's that?

[Doctor Stop]

BTW, Steven looks like he's had more shitty work done than Jessica Lange and Sophia Loren combined.

[FG Lurker]

I have friends in Osaka who knew Seagal from when he was here and had his dojo in Juso.

Although he was pretty serious about his study when he was first here they don't have anything good to say about his later years here or what he has become.

[Screwed-down Hairdo]

...what he has become.

I suspect he is Hideki Irabu in Chinese clothes...

Whatta guy

A bundle of sexual assault allegations against Steven Seagal are revealing what may be a long-term pattern of inappropriateness. CBS Crimesider has dug up a 1998 interview with Jenny McCarthy -- who says that during a casting call for 'Under Siege 2,' she was asked to strip and threatened not to tell anyone.

"I go inside Seagal's office, and he's by himself and says, 'Sit on my couch," McCarthy told Movieline magazine in '98. "Then he said, 'Take off your dress.' I just started crying and said, 'Rent my Playboy video, you a*****e!' and ran out to the car."

CBS also reports in 1998, nine women told Penthouse magazine about their experiences of Seagal sexually harassing them. Yikes.

News recently broke that Seagal's reality series, 'Steven Seagal Lawman,' will be shelved as a result of the scandal

Was that his dojo or his mother-in-law's dojo?

That's a very strange and unclear story. One version was that it had went to his wife and he got it into his name, ousting everyone else in the family. But, there are so many versions now, who knows what is true.

If nothing else, Seagal has at least proved his worth as a bona fide FG.

I actually don't know a lot about the story myself but the friends I mentioned above knew him at the time. I'll see what they have to say next time we're out for beers.

I feel like suing him for sexual harassment over that goddamn ridiculous ponytail...

Steven takes out some ads on Craigslist...

He looks more preggers than GG....

OMG - he totally does.

But then I have maintained my girlish figure even at 7 months preggo.

i must admit that was good coaching.

Segal appears to be moving a little better than he was a few years ago. It'd be nice to see someone like Silva use some actual martial arts moves in the ring/octagon. We see jiujitsu on the ground, but most of the stand up stuff we see in MMA fighting is just kick boxing and most of the takedowns are western wrestling style.

As much as I mock the Seagal, he sounded like a damn good sensei and the video made me wish I had my nephew around to try out the moves he was suggesting.

[Doctor Stop]

I still think Rex would kick his Peter Pan ass.



After one week with him in his dojo, you'll be prepared to defend yourself with the strength of a grizzly, the reflexes of a puma, and the wisdom of a man.

[Kuang_Grade]

Seagal stars as the bad guy in Robert Rodriguez's Machete,



where he's cast as ex Mexican federal agent who has switched sides and became a drug lord, although he carries a samurai sword and when mortally wounded, he commits seppuku with the blade already stuck in his belly.

Ryota Machida is all Karate, he even studied sumo to learn how to space and control.

I was waiting for Silva to use some of the stuff Segal showed him in the Silva vs LoudMouthTalkAlottaShit match, but the only thing he sort of did was the palms to the eye sockets to stuff a shoot.

You seriously don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Greco is the oldest martial art in the fucking world!

He was referring to Asian martial arts. Western MA is utilized more as it is easy to adapt/alter in MMA.

Most of the Westerners applied Asian MA in their styles. Sambo/BJJ for example.

Just Japan is reluctant to adapt to anything not Japanese, as you can see with Judo, westerners came strong and dominated the Japanese.

Sorry for using "Westerners" so widely, should be something else, but basically i mean non-asian...

I'm really glad you posted this because I just noticed the spelling of this dude's name...I'd always thought it was Steven Seagull, the moniker applied because he persisted ravenously picking up any scraps he could get and then dropping shit on whoever he could.

Segoof is the leader of the modern day Untouchables. His contribution to law enforcement is legend.

[jingai]

I actually really enjoyed the show. He doesn't do anything resembling police work (really community relations) but it's a lot of fun to watch him interact with the cops and do aikido and shooting exhibitions.

He changed the pronunciation of his name so that he would not be identified as a Joo...

Almost everything you've ever bothered to read about Steven Seagal is a lie. It is true that he has starred in five motion pictures, and it's also true that he has a black belt in aikido. Apart from those facts, there is little you can count on.

Once, for example, Seagal said on Arsenio that he had spent a lot of his youth in Brooklyn. In fact, he was born in Michigan and lived there until he was five, when his family moved to California. He later clarified he recollection, saying he had visited cousins in Brooklyn. Also, he seems to have distanced himself from his Jewish side. Mom was Irish and the family worshiped indifferently, as Catholics or Episcopalians. But Dad was Jewish, and the family pronounced its name the normal way: SEE-gul. When he and Gary Goldman were in business together, Seagal said he didn't want to call their production company Seagal/Goldman Productions "because that would sound too much like two Jews from the garment business." Shortly after that, the actor returned from an art exhibit where he had seen a painting by Chagall. The work moved him to decree that thereafter he would call himself Se-GAL. He declined to attend his father's funeral in 1990.

I bet AO worships Seagal like god.
