using twitter hashtags on anything but twitter is pretty obnoxious.

For real. I wish they would start probating for that. It's popping up everyone and it is never anything better than annoying.

It makes sense on Twitter, but in any other format it's just obnoxious and sounds like someone desperately trying to be hip.

Either he gave up his neck or Rogan's comments about Jackson's jiu jitsu being a hidden talent are complete bullshit.

His defense and awareness of that choke were laughable.

For some reason it seems any time he's put in a bad spot whether it was against Machida or Bones his defensive game was utter poo poo.

I don't know and this is the opinion of someone who has trained for maybe 3 months consistently and is just an idiot fan as much as the next poster, but I thought he was giving up the neck.

I do this technique called a suplex. You probably haven't heard of it, it's pretty obscure.
UFC 135 Post Fight: Steven Seagal Turned Away by Jon Jones, Insults Joe Rogan

quote:

By attaching himself to these rising superstars, it appears that Seagal is putting his own ego ahead of what is in the best interest of these fighters. Seagal does have a legitimate background in martial arts, but he isn't displaying the humble nature that martial artists should when he attempts to take credit for the accomplishments of others.
I can't tell what's more absurd here, promoting Steven Seagal's super martial arts abilities or editorializing about how all martial artists should be Buddha.

A friend of mine worked on the set of a Seagal movie ("Ruslan") and said that he was constantly bothering the explosives/pyro technicians about how to rig everything up because "he'd studied all of this kind of stuff before." Also he almost made them shut down a whole day of filming because some old oil drums they'd brought in for a warehouse set smelled kind of bad and he has a strict "no exposure to foul odors" clause in his contract or something.

People got so fed up with him that one of the crew snuck into his trailer when he was out, took a poo poo in the toilet and didn't flush it which apparently caused Segal to flip out when he discovered it. Oh yeah, and they had to get a stunt double for any scene that involved running. Basically Steven Segal is a hilarious trainwreck.

Rumor has it he likes to kick stuntmen in the balls too to check if they're wearing a cup.

He also has some weird thing about drinking bottled water and wanting a fresh bottle every time he drinks.

He's just a weird oval office.

Legend says that Segal claimed his strong Chi prevented him from being choked out.

So Gene asked him to prove it by letting him try to choke Segal out.

Gene applied a choke, and Segal passed out and shat his pants.

I do love the stories about people trying to be eastern mystic powerful and them getting destroyed.

I have a buddy who's trained in just about everything over the years he went to a free introductory lesson at a ninjitsu club for as he put it "shits and giggles" he's got a story about a female ninjitsu "master" who said no one would be able to lift her off the ground. Citing some bullshit about how she can plant her feet and use her body energy to grip to the ground.

He doubled legged her on her rear end.

I wish I could've been there to see some small asian woman get double legged in front of a bunch of dudes dressed up like extras from a bad hollywood movie. Apparently he was asked not to come back.

A friend of mine went to a class, a warm up involved giving everyone rubber knives, turning off the lights, and getting them to "kill" each other. He sat in the corner and stabbed two people who crawled by. When the lights came on, someone was hanging from the rafters, their knife in their teeth.
Ninjitsu is awesome.

Ninjitus would be great if they would just admit that they do it because its fun to dress in costumes, flip around and pretend to assassinate each other.

It was on the Sklar Brothers podcast that Seagal held up production on a movie for a day because he was waiting for a 'box of ponytails' to be overnighted from his ponytail guy in LA, and wouldn't come out of his trailer without a new ponytail.
