Re: Steven Seagal's secret life

Steven Seagal never really showed much in his movies, a flip here or a twist there. But the man is an actual sensei and teaches in Japan. I have a video somewhere that shows him teaching, all about his dojo. I wouldn't wanna be his aikidoka! [youtube=425,350]mOKN_GlXvAs[/youtube]
From what I saw on a biography, Steven Seagal had moved to Japan. He had some Martial Arts Training prior to moving to Japan. He wanted to learn Akido, At first he had problems finding a school that would teach him because he was "Kwi Lo", then me met a woman who was much older than him (like 10-15 years somewhere around there) and was a Black Belt in the Art of Akido, (which he dated and married later while he was learning Akido, she is NOW has been a Grand Master for many years, I can't remember her name), Seagal learned very quickly, (I guess his little honey was helping him on learning the art out of school), because of his ability and focus of the art it impressed the Grand Masters of the day with his speed, enthusiasm, etc. After getting Mastered in Akido and weapons, etc, he left his wife in Japan, (as he was supposed to come back to the U.S. to compete in Martial Arts and open a school and send for his wife later), after he got here he pretty much ditched his wife in Japan and divorced her.
I used to like him when he first came out, grant he IS GOOD, but after I watched the biography a few years back and how he did his wife who pretty much taught him the whole art prior to him being accepted by the Akido Dojo in Japan, (as they DID interview her). They also showed videos of her and him in his early years from the Dojo Competitions back then. There was more but I can't remember, but he is a piece of work, (I don't mean good in terms), with women from what was aired on his bio.
Martial arts are something I enjoy learning and while Aikido is not my forte', I have learned a few things about it. Its pretty fascinating how this stuff works if one takes the time and effort to look into it. Steven Seagal just happens to be very good at this particular art.
