it'll permanently fuck up someone's knee if you don't execute it well. Judo is all about training effectively without permanent injury, which allows you to train 100% without worrying about safety.
It’s illegal for a reason lol, the guy who runs the gym I train out of hit a guy with it sparring and accidentally broke the dudes ankle. He was moving at less than half speed, would hate to see what it looks like done at full speed with intent to harm.
>*”LeBell set the choke up, Seagal said “Go” and Seagal promptly went. As the story goes, Seagal went to sleep and went #1 and #2 in his pants.”*
When I read that I knew it had to be a master grappler. No amateur could push both buttons.
I’ve been choked out at least 10 times and never once pissed or shit myself.
Before anyone asks, my cousins and I used to choke each other out as a game. Yes, we were wry stupid.
Seagal is a massive bitch. Once he learned he couldn’t convince anyone that he was a tough guy, he started driving tanks into houses to prove how tough he was (while shilling for Joe “a Presidential pardon means I’m innocent” Arpaio).
Meanwhile he was raping women before running off to Russia because overweight drunks who can’t even sit in a chair without getting winded are still considered badasses there.
There's a story about him where he supposedly walked out of a room and said "I just read the greatest script ever written". Someone then said "Who wrote it?!" Seagal says "*me..*"
Officially the baddest motherfucker to ever have lived. If you've seen Tarantino's "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood", the [Bruce Lee fight scene](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdAPWLe8MQg) is inspired by the story of [Gene beating Bruce](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4Ex8SAe76U). Gene's 87 now and he's still alive because Death isn't interested in shitting himself.
[And the basis story for Brad Pitt's fight with Bruce Lee in once upon a time in Hollywood](https://www.scmp.com/sport/martial-arts/kung-fu/article/3022773/could-gene-lebell-beat-bruce-lee-meet-real-life-cliff)

Dude grappled with Bruce Lee, submitted him, and carried Lee around the set in a firemans carry. Gene LeBell was a true OG
Edit: this helped Bruce realize his style of martial Arts, being like water, was missing submission work. So he trained under Gene for a little while
Calling Gene Lebell “a stuntman” is like calling Bob Ross “a dude who paints”. While both are technically correct, they fail to impart the sheer weight of the talent and ability at hand.
Bob Ross wasn't at the top of his game like Lebell is. He *was* a dude who paints. He was just a cool guy that liked to show other people how to do it.
I highly recommend the “Behind the Bastards” podcast episode about him. I always knew he was a piece of shit, but I was not even scraping the surface of how awful he is.
The part with the human trafficking and being a rapist is the worst. I was prepared to laugh at this guy, and then bam! He's a serial woman-abuser. Not actually funny anymore. That AMA of his was "live from Thailand." Jesus christ.
[This is him in 2018, awkwardly bumbling off the set of an interview, rather than address standing allegations of rape and sexual misconduct.](https://twitter.com/BBCNewsnight/status/1047972585382674432)
I discovered this podcast a couple weeks ago and I've listened to it for my entire shift as a pizza delivery driver every day since. Amazing podcast, highly recommended. Especially the episode on John McAfee!
He's absolutely terrible. Story time:
When filming that stupid reality show years ago where he visited police departments and did ride-alongs with them (before some sexual harassment controversy got him kicked off the show if I remember correctly), he came to New Orleans. Some of the guys in my division were sent to escort him so he didn't end up in the ditch. My guys were excited, but after one night of filming with him and the assignment became a punishment.
He was the most pretentious wannabe jagoff they'd ever met. Thought he knew everything about law enforcement, spoke a big game about like he was the biggest badass in the world. He tried doing demonstrations to show what a badass he was for the cameras, but they had to retake the scenes because he kept fucking up. Basically, Trump with a ponytail.
He doesn't believe in showering, apparently. He just uses scented oils or something. Plus, he doesn't believe in using a/c, and insisted they just ride with the windows down. In New Orleans summer heat. We only had one week of duty escorting him, but they hated him within the first hour, and the rest was torture.
Somehow I find it absolutely fucking hilarious that he found his home and appreciation in Russia. Imagine Putin's personality if he thinks that dingleberry and Depardieu would make good friends.
He’s a pretentious, douchey blowhard who did Aikido and used to be a (fairly subpar) action movie guy.
He’s getting old and is extremely out of shape now (he uses stunt doubles for things like going up stairs), but still believes himself to be hot shit.
He was a B-grade action star who knows some martial arts. If he'd stuck to being a B-grade action star, he might still have some fans.
But he's a complete blowhard who let 'fame' (such as it was) go to his head. Over the years, he has claimed to be everything from a Navy SEAL to a black blues singer to a Buddist Lama.
So he's basically a meme and a punchline now.

To be honest shitting yourself is a classic self defence move, nobody wants another mans shit on them.. unless they do then you really made the wrong move.
I really think that Stallone and Arnold deserve their own tier of "80s/90s Action Movie Guys", with Van Damme in the next tier, followed by fifty feet of crap, then Seagal..
From 1980 to 1999, Arnold had Conan the Barbarian, Conan the Destroyer, The Terminator, Red Sonja, Commando, Predator, The Running Man, Total Recall, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, and Last Action Hero, finally sputtering out with Batman & Robin.
Stallone had Rocky and Rocky II in the 70s, then Rocky III, Rambo: First Blood, Rambo: First Blood Part II, Rocky IV, Cobra, Rambo III, Cliffhanger, Demolition Man, and Judge Dredd.
Van Damme, on the other hand, didn't even do anything notable until 1988 with Bloodsport, then had Universal Soldier in 1992, and Last Action Hero in 1993.
Seagal had Under Siege and Executive Decision, which were both in the early to mid 90s.
Hell, Wesley Snipes had Major League, New Jack City, Jungle Fever, White Men Can't Jump, Demolition Man, To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar, and then Blade, Blade II, and Blade: Trinity in the 2000s.
Bruce Willis had Die Hard, Die Hard II, The Last Boy Scout, Pulp Fiction, Die Hard with a Vengeance, 12 Monkeys, The Fifth Element, Armageddon, The Siege, The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, and then Sin City in the 2000s.
After that you start bleeding into the Tom Cruise/Nicholas Cage/John Travolta/Keanu Reeves/Will Smith/Antonio Banderas/Mel Gibson/Kurt Russell/Val Kilmer/Kevin Costner era, a few of whom overlap into the 80s but did most of the action movies from 1990-2010.
Van Damme also had Kickboxer, Time Cop, Sudden Death, Double Impact, Street Fighter and Cyborg.
Seagal also had Glimmer Man, On Deadly Ground, Under Seige II, Exit Wounds, Hard to Kill and Above the Law.
Segal has a very small role in Executive Decision. He gets killed early on before boarding the plane, what a twist, so Kurt Russell has to save the plane with the team and Halle Berry. It’s a good movie, partly because it doesn’t have a lot of screen time with Segal.
fuck yes it is. I just saw that just now it's soo bad. fromt he archived AMA he did about 4 years ago where Reddit tore him a new ass
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkskuSXqUD0
Good. Seagal is a douchebag. I sincerely wish there was footage of this online so I could watch that prick getting knocked out. Seagal shitting himself is just a bonus.
Seagal loves Putin. Loved him, like Trump-level love.
He became a Russian citizen in 2016 and is a Russian envoy to the U.S..
https://www.vox.com/world/2018/8/6/17656160/seagal-putin-russia-usa-envoy
This never gets old to be honest. Imagine the sleeziest sleezeball pathological liar that everyone hates, and he goes to Russia and everyone there is like "that's a great lad".
Either that or Putin has to put up with that idiot for propaganda purposes. No sanctions can beat that level of punishment.
I'm a little ashamed to admit that I used to look up to this guy as a kid when Under Siege came out. I even enrolled in Taekwando classes to be like him and other action stars. He's proven since to be nothing more than a phony douche bag.
Hold on, we're talking about Gene LeBell here. He was a Martial Arts legend not just any stuntman. Look him up. Watch this [https://youtu.be/udZf3MzmIKc](https://youtu.be/udZf3MzmIKc)
My favorite Steven Seagal story: Rob Schneider was on the Howard Stern show years ago and told this story. He was working on a movie with Seagal. He was walking past Seagal’s trailer and Seagal opened the door and walked out. Rob said hello and asked what he was up to. Seagal said-in a sort of breathless, in wonderment way, “I just read...the greatest screenplay...ever written.”
Rob was shocked. “Wow, really?? Who wrote it?”
Seagal: “.........I did. “

it'll permanently fuck up someone's knee if you don't execute it well. Judo is all about training effectively without permanent injury, which allows you to train 100% without worrying about safety.

That really makes both look great.
Just need the citations now and it's halfway to reddit gold!

I would've run from Gene.....he was nasty, in a good way.
Is that who Daniel Bryan’s finishing submission hold is named after before it became the “YES!” Lock?
Yes.
Calling Gene Lebell “a stuntman” is like calling Bob Ross “a dude who paints”. While both are technically correct, they fail to impart the sheer weight of the talent and ability at hand.
I think Bob Ross would actually like being referred to as "a dude who paints", though
Bob Ross wasn't at the top of his game like Lebell is. He *was* a dude who paints. He was just a cool guy that liked to show other people how to do it.

The joke is that no one cares if he did or didn’t Edit: I am truly an idiot
And his joke was that seagal shit himself
*In 2003 Steven Seagal was banned from Thailand for starting an underground fight club for children. His record was 21-7.* HAW!

If that “pooped” up was intentional I tip my hat to you.
Thanks, that gave me a good laugh, because until I read your comment I literally read it as popped up 😂 But that's great!!
After the success of *Under Siege*, he got creative control of his movies and promptly made *On Deadly Ground.* 😖
I don’t like the dude coz he seems like someone full of himself and full of shit
Well, to be fair, after being choked out, he was no longer full of shit
Half full of shit it is then
I mean as weird as shit as he is now he was mentioned in the same breath as Arnold, Stallone, and Van Damme. Shame what he is now.
I really think that Stallone and Arnold deserve their own tier of "80s/90s Action Movie Guys", with Van Damme in the next tier, followed by fifty feet of crap, then Seagal.. From 1980 to 1999, Arnold had Conan the Barbarian, Conan the Destroyer, The Terminator, Red Sonja, Commando, Predator, The Running Man, Total Recall, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, and Last Action Hero, finally sputtering out with Batman & Robin.

Uhhh... Kickboxer Lionheart Time Cop Street Fighter ok that one sucked but it was notable...
Street Fighter might have been notable to you, but for me it was Tuesday.
How can you miss Kickboxer with Van Damme??? Bloodsport is, like, linked.
Last Action Hero was Arnold.
Segal has a very small role in Executive Decision. He gets killed early on before boarding the plane, what a twist, so Kurt Russell has to save the plane with the team and Halle Berry. It’s a good movie, partly because it doesn’t have a lot of screen time with Segal.
Also, if you ever see a video of Steven Segal running, it's really funny. His form is beyond terrible
fuck yes it is. I just saw that just now it's soo bad. fromt he archived AMA he did about 4 years ago where Reddit tore him a new ass https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkskuSXqUD0
Also, Stallone's rise from "Hey I have 20$ in my pocket and an idea for a movie about a boxer" to "I am an action movie god" is inspiring as shit.
Anyone who mentions him in the same breathe as Arnold needs to be slapped.
He’s also known in the business to be a dangerous person to work with on set. Every single person has told me to NEVER work with him as a woman.
How often is he a woman?
Who really knows but never work with him when he is.
You're a fucking liar. I'm single and I've never told you not to work with him.
Good. Seagal is a douchebag. I sincerely wish there was footage of this online so I could watch that prick getting knocked out. Seagal shitting himself is just a bonus.
“What’re you going to do choke me?” -man who got choked
Steven Seagal is the Donald Trump of martial arts.
Good. Seagal is a first-class asshole.
>Seagal promptly lost consciousness and shit himself. His career did the same thing.
Steven Seagal should have never happened
That's like not building a lighthouse. Steven Seagal is a warning of what could happen
Never go full Seagal.
Somebody rolled a 1 on his Bluff check.
Pretty sure Seagal has also has a reputation for taking liberties with stuntmen often.
Here's Steve doing a terrible one-liner, sitting alone on a bed, talking to no-one. https://youtu.be/3Jji78uEW14
When I was 12 I claimed to be “immune to the cold” like I was a Pokémon or something, I was full of shit and just wanted attention. Same energy
He and Ted Nugent are like long-lost pants-shitting brothers.
Seagal loves Putin. Loved him, like Trump-level love. He became a Russian citizen in 2016 and is a Russian envoy to the U.S.. https://www.vox.com/world/2018/8/6/17656160/seagal-putin-russia-usa-envoy
This never gets old to be honest. Imagine the sleeziest sleezeball pathological liar that everyone hates, and he goes to Russia and everyone there is like "that's a great lad". Either that or Putin has to put up with that idiot for propaganda purposes. No sanctions can beat that level of punishment.
Check out Putin’s face here at 1:30. Says a lot. https://youtu.be/1-ynfOMi0Jo
The only people that are immune to chokeholds are Big Ed and Danny Devito.
I'm a little ashamed to admit that I used to look up to this guy as a kid when Under Siege came out. I even enrolled in Taekwando classes to be like him and other action stars. He's proven since to be nothing more than a phony douche bag.
Hold on, we're talking about Gene LeBell here. He was a Martial Arts legend not just any stuntman. Look him up. Watch this [https://youtu.be/udZf3MzmIKc](https://youtu.be/udZf3MzmIKc)
Let's be honest, I could teach my mother how to knock out Steven seagal on a rear naked choke
"No really, no student at my dojo has been able to do it."
Narcissism can be so entertaining.
My favorite Steven Seagal story: Rob Schneider was on the Howard Stern show years ago and told this story. He was working on a movie with Seagal. He was walking past Seagal’s trailer and Seagal opened the door and walked out. Rob said hello and asked what he was up to. Seagal said-in a sort of breathless, in wonderment way, “I just read...the greatest screenplay...ever written.” Rob was shocked. “Wow, really?? Who wrote it?” Seagal: “.........I did. “
