Been following his career for a while (hell, been A WHILE since he *had* a career) & he gets no respect from almost any serious MA student/practitioner. Summary: he learned enough to make impressive-looking moves to use in his tough-guy movies. NOT in a position to personally verify, but his moves don’t *look* like Aikido to me…and seem to depend on the target standing & waiting for it, not trying to defend - which I’d expect in a ‘serious’ fight (common flaw in my beloved king-fu movies, too, so…).

The discipline required to decouple one’s speech from one’s on-camera facial movements is severe.

he has a black belt in akido...that he got while married to the instructors daughter in japan...so, it's up to you to decide whether he actually earned it or not.
he stayed married to her for about a year, then he came back to the states and started a school, which lasted a couple of years, then failed, then another, which lasted a couple of years, and then failed...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Seagal

i'm not sure what you're asking?
what i was trying to say is that people expect to have rights, with no concurrent responsibilities.
if you exercise your "right" to vote, you should be required to fulfill your responsibility to know who it is you're voting for, and why...

Or, as we might say here, they can’t win, they can’t break even, and they can’t leave the game ”legally”(*)Zelensky offers guarantees for Russian soldiers who surrender
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday offered guaranteed protections to Russian soldiers who surrender amid the conflict between the countries after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced he was calling up 300,000 reservists to replenish Russian forces.
Appealing directly to Russians during an address, Zelensky said Ukraine could guarantee three terms to Russian soldiers in exchange for their surrender. He said such Russians will be treated in a civilized manner, the circumstances of their surrender will remain undisclosed and Ukraine will find a way to ensure those who do not want to return to Russia are not exchanged.
Putin announced the call ups on Wednesday as Ukraine pushes Russian forces back from territory they captured during the war. Ukraine has undertaken a major counteroffensive this month through which it has recaptured thousands of square kilometers of territory.
Putin’s announcement sparked protests nationwide in Russia and led to more than 1,000 arrests. Flights out of the country sold out or their prices soared after Russia called up another round of soldiers, marking the first such mobilization since World War II.
Zelensky said Russian authorities are aware they are sending citizens to their deaths but do not have any other option at this stage of the war.
The Pentagon said last month that Russia has seen 70,000 to 80,000 casualties since its war in Ukraine began in February.
“Russian commanders do not care about the lives of Russians. They just need to replenish the empty spaces left by the dead, wounded, those who fled or the Russian soldiers that were captured,” Zelensky said.
He said every Russian citizen knows that Russia is the one bringing “evil” even if they do not admit it. He told Russians that surrendering to Ukrainian captivity is better than being killed in the war.
“So, the key moment has come for you: right now it is being decided whether your life will end or not,” Zelensky said.
Putin reportedly signed laws on Saturday strengthening the penalty for Russian soldiers who voluntarily surrender to up to 10 years in prison. Those who refuse to engage in combat will also face 10 years imprisonment.

Bloch’s Theorem.
I am reminded of Lalancette’s Corollary to Bloch’s Theorem:
Every major human institution is founded on the belief that one component of the theorem can be falsified.
Capitalism is founded on the idea that you can win.
Socialism: that you can break even.
Mysticism: that you can quit the game.

if you remember Spy magazine, it entertained itself and its readership for years by regularly trashing the cardboard cutout we now know as Mango Mussolini. Seagal was another of their favorite targets for many reasons, among them his changing the spelling of his last name (Segal) in his quest to pass himself off as a mob-connected tough guy, and not just another Jewish kid from Brooklyn (or the Bronx? Don’t care)
Currently, Mr. Tough Guy is famous for being a regular at Putin’s tea parties, possessing a Russian passport, and regularly confessing his love for Mamma Russkaiya…and most recently in the news for begging Pootie not to send *him* to Ukraine

Kadyrov explained to deviators why Russia needs mobilization
Russia is in danger because of Ukrainian nationalists who want to destroy it. Mobilization is designed to prevent this. This was stated by the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov.
“With the help of the fascists operating in Ukraine, they want to destroy our country. And this means that the homeland is in danger. Tens of millions of Russians have no idea how many times our state has been threatened over the past 20 years. And it was only thanks to the clear and competent policy of Russian President Vladimir Putin that they did not succeed,” Kadyrov said in a video message published on his telegram channel.
The head of Chechnya explained that even if Russia left all the regions, including Crimea, the West would not stop trying to put pressure on it. Therefore, a special operation, and as a result, a partial mobilization of the population, is a forced and inevitable measure. “If we do not defend our interests, it will be bad for all Russians. We will lose the sovereignty and independence of Russia, and then the enemies will come to every home,” he warned.
