- Van Damme by split kick.
- English
Seagal was ‘guarding his words’. IMHO, both VanDamme and Seagal have found their niche as action film stars instead of actually doing martial arts.
Keeping in mind that this is only my opinion, I also believe that Jeff Speakman is a superior martial artist. He does cross-train, grapple and allows his Kenpo to evolve.

I expect it. I see it coming. And it is STILL astonishing just how much of a douche he is.
For the record: JCVD has splendid records in semi-contact and ammy kickboxing. Steven ain’t got jack shit.

Even when Seagal wasn’t a fucking hippo, he wasn’t in shape. Even when VanDamme was enjoying recreational pharmaceuticals, he stayed in shape.

I kinda wanted to hear him go on about Jeff Speakman.
[QUOTE=Permalost;2713465]I kinda wanted to hear him go on about Jeff Speakman.[/QUOTE]I’m trying to find the rest of that interview on YouTube to see if there was more dialogue. Speakman or VanDamme would roll Seagal up like a booger.

I have heard Seagal says nice things about Speakman for those who wanted to know.
Seagal talks about Van Damme
It is fascinating to see an early display of the tension between Van Damme and Seagal. It would be interesting to simply let both get rid of their frustrations and engage in a full contact fight.
Seagal is a douche but Van Damme is a complete nutjob, people in Belgium love him as the tragical comedy character he is, a bit like a retarded nephew - but a retard with badass moves.
I think there was some doubt about his record due to a misunderstanding with his original name.
Also, I think in the film JCVD he doesn’t get a part in a big production because Steven Seagal cut off his pony tail and got the job.
He is still the only action star that can actually hold a gun and shoot correctly.

You don’t suppose any other action stars have sought out proper firearms instruction ever? lol.
By the way, where are you getting this idea that Seagal is so great at shooting?

Women that have been on his casting couch.
There was a story years back evaluating all the big action figures at the time and their shooting skills, the only one exhibiting actual shooting skills was Steven with a big difference, second was Clint Eastwood, but way under Steven, the author stated that Steven has very good skills and he actually really knows what he is doing.

Naa he can give most people instructions on gun shooting. This is more than a hobby for him, he takes shooting as serious as he takes his wig, and as a result he is a crack shot. And let’s be fare we all cry out against the fake fighting scenes, but we don’t say nothing when people that can;t hold a fucking gun correctly make shots on moving targets from moving platforms when it is obvious they can’t fucking even shoot. At least with him you get a more realistic scenarios involving shooting (His positions when shooting are realistic, he holds the gun correctly and he is actually very very good at shooting.)

Seagal is actually a pretty talented person in general…he’s just a perfect combination of douche, asshole, and a bit of a sociopath.

Sounds like an actor to me.
Why do you say he is a douche?
The way he treats others, especially women, how he talks about himself, how he comports himself, and the blatant ego-stroking fabrications he surrounds himself with.
