Is this legit?

Is this shit legit? ;)

This just happened like a week ago, apparently.

Not in the slightest bit.

I find it funny that just about every video of fake stuff like this I've seen, the "master" always has a ponytail and/or a beer gut.

That's what you get after your black belt. I believe you get the ponytail before the gut.

I've done 3 movies with Seagal, working as a stuntman and actor. Fighting him in each film, I will say this. He is extremely strong and his knowledge base is pretty well versed. Do these moves work...I don't think so practically really...but if he does get a hold of your hand/arm...he can hurt you. He's wrist lock flows are nuts! I was also taught that there isn't such thing as a bad technique just a bad time to use them. Hence why i would never try a wrist lock in an MMA situation lol

Seagal was very well respected and super legit back in the day but he seems to be a shell of his former self. His ties to the Gambino crime family are fascinating and the court case was wild.

I just looked up that court case... crazy!

He has deep crime family connections, i wouldn't fuck with him. His martial arts skills are amazing ;)

What is his bread and butter regarding martial arts? Not bashing, just curious. Personally i feel though like someone should let him in on the joke when it comes to how he comes across to people. Back in the day i admit to watching his movies, but wouldnt waste my time today.
