Steven Seagal style?

[Aodhan]

I´ve heard he holds several black belts, karate one of them, but who knows... at least it says everywhere that he started training under a karate master.

The striking stuff in his movies looks the same as aikido atemi, and I recognize a lot of the throws/locks.

Wouldn´t it be awesome if there were more running scenes in his newest movies?

While he may have several belts in different systems, I would bet that at least some of them are ceremonial in nature.

I have met him and my co-worker has a brother that works in the industry, and in person he is less than inspirational to put it nicely. However, he was designated as a Lama a few years back, so he has that going for him.

Segals main style is Aikido, however when he was younger he trained in basic Shotokan with a cook that he worked with. Its on Wikipedia and his bio on his page.

You have to remember that you need to dig through a lot of bunk with Segals stuff because he was influenced by the "Marketing Sensei/Guru's" in the 80's to try and market himself.

At one point Segal stated he worked for the CIA doing wet work on black ops missions....or for those of us not wanting to sit in wonder..he killed people covertly for the CIA...or as we like to call it he read a comic book once and thought that was a great idea!

He also created lots of stories to market himself and his movies, which is sad because being a 7th Dan and the first white guy to teach Aikido and run his own Dojo in Japan should be enough to show he can be a tough guy. the rest is silly fluff!
