      Not really. Steven Seagal has never been in actually good shape or skilled at a real martial art. All of his fights are completely staged. And aikido is complete mystic nonsense.

      If you were to insult him, he’d be less dangerous than the average overweight middle-aged dad drunk from beers at a football game or some stoner at burning man.

        It’s complicated, he actually is (or was at least) a fairly skilled martial artist in the very specific style of Aikido. But as you correctly say, Aikidos effectiveness in the real world or in mixed-style fights is up for debate. His massive ego really doesn’t do him any favors.
