From Black Belt Magazine September 1992
" There is a difference between learning how to fight, learning self-defense. and truly learning a martial art. In one of Seagal's movies, he is heard speaking Japanese. In another, he is seen writing Japanese characters. To truly learn a martial art is to aspire to a certain level of literacy, in much the same way a child is expected to learn how to write. Learning how to defend yourself is only a by-product of this literacy. For example, the samurai, for all their fighting skill, were an extremely literate class in Japan and com- posed many poems and philosophical treatises. It doesn't matter how Seagal stacks up against other martial artists in a fight because it is the principles of the arts he has learned that really matter, not the actual physical techniques. Literacy, language skills, tradition and healing powers learned during the course of martial arts study are in fact all forms of self-defense. Literacy promotes the self-aware- ness needed to facilitate personal development so practitioners will not be insecure and feel a need to resort to vio- lence. The healing arts teach practitioners to protect their bodies from sickness. Moreover, the self-defense scenarios taught to most martial artists are inconsistent with reality. "

Post from Mrs Elle Seagal
GEORGES ST. PIERRE
Georges St-Pierre, the best fighter in the UFC, who became the master of professional mixed martial arts, has a total of 26 victories in his career, won 13 championship belts and defended his championship belt 9 times in a row over a period of 5 years. He is ranked by N1 as the most successful, popular, influential, and greatest fighter of all time in UFC history.
I thought I'd share some of the valuable advice I gave to my son, who has followed in his father's footsteps by being interested in martial arts, practicing boxing, and watching the UFC without skipping a beat.
He said: "Martial arts is a tough sport that requires tough challenges, tests, courage, and struggle. If you really want to go down this path, do it with true love and values. To achieve success, you have to get out of your comfort zone and face tough situations. persevere, aim, challenge yourself, don't be afraid to lose, don't miss every opportunity to improve yourself, not because you like to fight or fight I worked tirelessly because the feeling of winning is incomparable has been shown to cause serious ailments, so take it easy when sparring (punching, boxing) when you're a teenager, and train yourself wisely rather than trying to push yourself hard at that age!” is recommended. Brain damage at any age is dangerous, but it is said that damage done before maturity is more harmful later on, children...

June 9th 2024 - Baku Azerbaïdjan
- Walk of Stars
Training with makiwara after the opening ceremony of the Sea Breeze resort area in Baku, Sputnik Azerbaijan reports.
Thanks to our friend Ramin Mamedzade for this pictures
Seagal visited Baku several times, where, in particular, in 2018 he was the guest of honor at the international music festival “Heat”.
“Steven Seagal is my great friend. He is a true cinema legend, an amazing musician. Everyone loves him in Azerbaijan. I am glad that his star will appear in Baku,” said Emin Agalarov.
In turn, Steven Seagal admitted that he is always happy to visit Baku.
According to him, the Azerbaijani capital is very beautiful, especially the Old City, and he is happy that his star appeared on the Walk of Stars.
This means that the actor, as he himself noted, will come to Baku more often.
It should be noted that the Sea Breeze Walk of Fame became the first attraction in the republic dedicated to outstanding and famous artists, musicians, actors and artists of Azerbaijan and the whole world.

Solidarity With Los Angeles
Dear friends,
Do you remember this place in California where Shihan Seagal teached Aikido to many students?
It is in this house that Shihan Seagal trained Lyoto Machida...
This is a amazing text wrote by Mrs Seagal some days ago.
A fire broke out in Los Angeles on the street that was once my home. In 2002, I moved to Hollywood, worked for Steven Seagal's film company, and got married a few years later. Our first home was in a forested canyon called "Mandeville Canyon" in the small town of Brentwood, Los Angeles, where many celebrities live and have mansions. The Palisades area, which is now completely engulfed in flames, is only 20 minutes away from ours. After giving birth to her son, Reese Witherspoon, one of Hollywood's top actresses, bought our house when she moved to Arizona to live in a more peaceful place. As the fire spread, I wondered what would happen to my old house, until 4 days ago, it came right down to our street and the first few houses started burning. Whether it's because former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, Harrison Ford, Tom Selleck, Bruce Springsteen, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Greg Kinnear live there, or because of the power of the Dharma, it's been four days since we arrived, as you can see in the picture. It was obvious that firefighters were doing their best to remove the dry trees and bushes in the area and moisten the ground well. Why the power of the Dharma? In addition to studying the Dharma with the great Dharma teachers and the sound of the bells and drums on our property for many years, we had built two large stupas there. One was the Buddha stupa, and the other was the Ochirvaan stupa. When we moved, we begged them to leave the stupas as they were, but Reese Witherspoon didn't agree, so they had to move them to a remote provincial monastery in a big pile. Now I think, if those two stupas had been there, would there have been such a terrible disaster or not? It is also strange that the fire has stopped in our street.
May the earth be peaceful, many levels!
Note: in the picture showing the spread of the fire, the green line is Mandeville Canyon, and the blue dot is our house.
