Pretty accurate but you forgot that he had alot more falling out just like the guy that got him that Aircraft carrier in Under Siege, he didnt wanna pay him. He had a falling out with Julius Nasso whos nephew I was best friend to. I also know his son Kentaro, very nice guy and he makes no excuses for his dad. All I know is that Ive met and rolled with the guys that know him and all says he is the real deal and these guys are guys you wouldnt want to **** with like Jim Berkley, Dan Inosanto, Kent Turnipseed, Frank "Hands of God" Shaw. They know what kind of guy he is but they respect him as a real hard guy. Why he refuses challenges, beats me.
Do you have any links or references to your information. It's a good habit to get into, supporting what you say with evidence.
Define 'evidence' = an anoying thing reqired to please random idiots. I would hate to see the foul stench of facts and evidence corrupting any posters on this forum. Heaven forfend.
From his instructional: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsvmP7ybpRs[/ame] There is also an interview from tatame.com where he says he knows this kick from a very long time ago,I guess he isnt that much of a joker/troll as Anderson Silva.
I enjoyed the clip thanks let's have a bit of fairness. No one accused the guy that helped gsp with his jab of thinking he inventrd the jab. But look what his coaching did for gsp in the Kos fight
I'm cool with everyone you see, except that ***git Floyd. As for the kick itself, MMA fighters have thanked a million people who helped them train. Silva is going to thank the Noguiera brothers even if he won the fight via knees. It doesnt have to be the exact same move.
Sorry I dont have links. I know a lot of this simply through martial arts people. i have been in that world since 1966. doesnt mean what I'm saying is so. check it out and dig deep enough and it is there. have heard Seagal say a bunch of **** in interviews that I knew was bull ****. I think the esquire magazine is the one that had some of it, long ago. that is not the link someone posted though. A lot of the things I say about Seagal , Jean Claude Van Dam, Lee, etc. come from being in the field and are often unpopular when spoken or written. Truth is martial arts is in a period of extreme decline, in terms of quality, across the board. also, almost noone that is touted, is of much quality. star maker machinery does a lot of it. some would say sour grapes or something. what I dont like is when anyone shoots their pie hole off and it is just that. an old school thought is that when someone is shooting off about how good they are, they usually are not.Seagal is a clown in his personal life and a poor representative of martial arts. there have been people in different martial arts that are extremely proficient and as odd as it sounds they are often not well known. some preferred it that way. those that rose to the top and are known usually were not the best but wanted the fame and money and they got it. doesnt mean others cant laugh at them from time to time.
...so there are sentences and there are paragraphs. You also have to remember to start them off with CAPITAL letters, kids. P.S. Chimba is totally winning.
