Description: Steven Seagal taught Karate expert and youtuber @Jesse Enkamp some aikido. As a former aikido instructor I decided to break down and analyze what makes sense and what doesn't from what Seagal taught. 00:00 Does trapping the arms work? 00:38 Manipulating the fingers 01:22 The danger behind Aikido's footwork 02:58 Can you catch a leg like that? 04:20 Punching a kicking leg 06:15 Horizontal fist vs vertical fist 08:47 Conditioning the fists - pros and cons 09:23 Poking the eyes and Aikido wristlocks 10:37 The body-language of lying 11:30 Telegraphing punches and questioning Kata 12:07 Steven Seagal and real fighting 12:55 Conclusions --- Welcome to the Martial Arts Journey YouTube channel! My name is Rokas. I'm a Lithuanian guy who trained Aikido for 14 years, 7 of them running a professional Aikido Dojo until eventually I realized that Aikido does not live up to what it promises. Lead by this realization I decided to make a daring step to close my Aikido Dojo and move to Portland, Oregon for six months to start training MMA at the famous Straight Blast Gym Headquarters under head coach Matt Thornton. After six months intensive training I had my first amateur MMA fight after which I moved back to Lithuania. During all of this time I am documenting my experience through my YouTube channel called "Martial Arts Journey". Now I am slowly setting up plans to continue training MMA under quality guidance and getting ready for my next MMA fight as I further document and share my journey and discoveries. --- If you want to support my journey, you can make a donation to my PayPal at info@rokasleo.com SUBSCRIBE to see when the next videos will come out: ► bit.ly/1KPZpv0 Check the video "Aikido vs MMA" which started this whole Martial Arts Journey: ► youtu.be/0KUXTC8g_pk If you want to support me and this channel on a regular basis check my Patreon page: ► patreon.com/rokasleo #aikido #martialarts #stevenseagal
