    Fake martial arts are epic

    I just can't fathom how it even exists... But then people even believe in things like Astrology and the power of crystals I guess...

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Staged in terms of them knowing how the fight is gonna play out and the 'stories' and all that stuff, but the physicality is real. You can't hurl and smash yourself about without incurring real physical harm over time.

    Steven Seagal knows akido, karate, judo and many other dangerous words...

    There is the story at a Stallone party he and Van Damme got in to an argument and Van Damme asked him to go outside with him. Seagal didn't...

    The whole thing is a show. They know how to pull such moves without getting seriously hurt. "Pro-Wrestlers" are actually stuntmen.

    Nice of him! Van Damme would have been no match against Seagal's bullshido.


    There's also stories of Seagal. eg: Show boating on the set of "Under Seige" saying no one could choke him out. A stunt man on the set said he'd take on the bet (it was a 60yr old Gene LeBell ) who then promptly choked him out, resulting in Seagal messing his pants.

    Seagal had him thrown off the set.

    Seagal has one secret lethal move, though, his "touch/punch of death", if you will: unleashing Vladimir Putin on yo ass!

    That's how his Ninja masters taught him. He blends in with the wind. Unnoticed. Silent. Deadly.

    You gotta know what to do with your arms.

    Tom Cruise knows what to do with his arms when running.

    Tom Cruise is a "girly man", to use Schwarzenegger's famous expression. Seagal is a beast. A juggernaut. A relentless, unstoppable fighting machine. His skills in bullshido, kraprate and fakendo are simply unmatched.
