The Sad Truth About Steven Seagal Going From Master To Meme The transcript below is from the video “The Sad Truth About Steven Seagal Going From Master To Meme” by Goldenbell Training Speaker 1, Speaker 3, Speaker 4, Speaker 5, Speaker 2, Speaker 6  1 Speaker 1 0:00 Steven Seagal is a bit of an enigma for a lot of martial artists because a lot of people see him as a person who was incapable of telling the truth. But at the same time, they respect him as someone who has achieved a high level of skill in the martial art of Aikido. The problem is that if Steven Seagal the movie star, we're just Steven Segal, who runs a martial arts gym in suburbia Midwest, USA, he would be seen as a predator who would be in one of Rob's MC Dojo life make Dojo news videos, because Steven Segal is an absolute monster who has done nothing his entire career, but placed himself in positions to engage in predatory behavior. I posted a video last year called The problem with Steven Seagal. And I was surprised to see that a lot of people defend and Seagull sand that I did poor research or that I've been listening to too many rumors. So I decided to actually look into Mr. Seagal. And I was shocked because Steven Segal is worse than I can even imagine. What I saw was that Steven Seagal has four roles that he plays, and the common thread among all four of them. Well, besides the constant line is that each one of them allow Steven Segal to engage in some very abusive behavior that began the minute Segal stepped into his first role as the sensei. So that's where we'll start. 2 Speaker 2 1:22 He's a legitimate Aikido master like 100% Absolute legitimate Aikido master. 1 Speaker 1 1:28 According to Siegel's website, Steven Frederick Segal was born in Lansing, Michigan on April 10 1952. His humble childhood was underscored by a fascination with the martial arts and the blues. Segal mastered martial arts at an early age becoming a seventh degree black belt and an Aikido master. The thing is, when Seagull first hit the scene, he was telling people that he was from Brooklyn, New York for some reason, I guess to make him appear to be the tough guy that he played in his early movies. This all stopped when seagulls mother told the truth that the family moved to Fullerton, California when Seagull was five years old. He was actually frail due to asthma while living in Michigan, but he thrived after the move to Orange County. She said that Seagull was in a rock music and not the Blues as he claimed. Later, he worked with a Japanese man and Garden Grove. And that's how his martial arts journey actually began. I talked more about this in my previous video, the problem with Steven Seagal, so I'm not going to rehash the stuff from that video. But here's where things get interesting during Siegel's role as the sensei. Oh, and if you wonder why I keep saying Stephens last name is seagull. It's because that's the actual proper pronunciation of his name. Stephen saw the Chagall exhibit at a museum and he liked the sound of the word so we changed the pronunciation of his last name. So after studying Okinawan karate in California, Seagal was convinced to go to Japan around the age of 19. Things didn't work out, and he returned to California where he would eventually meet me Jaco Fujitani. Who was teaching Aikido in California at the time. No, I shouldn't mention that Seagal at one point was saying that he studied under Aikido founder Morihei Ueshiba, who had already passed away before Seagal even made it over to Japan. So golf fans like to deny that Steven ever made the claim, but you can read it for yourself in some of the Gauls first interviews in black belt magazine from 1988 and 1990. In 1974, Seagal returned to Japan with his aikido instructor, Jaco Fujitani not defended this move in my last video, but since then, well, I've learned to Robert Strickland, who was working as a CIA consultant in Japan, and Robert Strickland says that Steven Seagal married me Jaco to avoid the draft. He believed in marrying a Japanese national and moving to Japan would make him less likely to be deported and sent back to the US. I thought this guy was a patriot. Now Seagal fans love to point out that Stephen was the first Westerner to open a dojo in Japan. But that's not true. When his father in law retired from teaching, Seagal took over the teaching duties, but the dojo was owned by his mother in law, and it was managed by his wife. Miaka went on to say that Steven Seagal only earned his black belt because the judge in charge of his grading fell asleep during his presentation. He was so embarrassed that when he woke up, he awarded Seagal with this black bill. The story is about Seagal fighting the Yakuza and throwing people out of the dojo are also untrue. Miyako said that Seagal only chased away a few drunks outside the school. Seagal likes to tell people how the dojo attracted the attention of the CIA and other high ranking military members in Japan. And many of them went on to become Seagal students. Now if you listen to the cigar height. Well, it's because the Gaul was such a highly accomplished practitioner of Aikido, but the reality is These were Americans. They were obviously joining a dojo, where another American was open to teaching Americans in English. If you've never been to Japan, there are some businesses to this day that will not allow Americans unless they speak and read Japanese. And I personally experienced this insensible when I was in the Navy. But keep this part in your memory banks about Seagal teaching people like Robert Strickland, who actually was a CIA consultant and other high ranking military personnel. Because this is going to come up again later. Why? Because Steven Seagal is an absolute monster. But anyway, so golf roll is since a would eventually shift from Japan back to America. Steven told his wife that he wanted to go back to the US to get rich in Hollywood, or to open up restaurants. Morocco believed in cigars dream so she says she spent years saving money and living on the bare minimum so that she could fund cigars dreams. Well, cigar returned to the US where he opened his first dojo in Taos, New Mexico, and he thanked his wife Miotto by marrying his second wife, actress Adrian La Russa while he was still married to me Jaco who was still in Japan, raising their children. So while Seagal is busy cheating on his first wife with his new wife, the Dojo in New Mexico was struggling financially. So God was known to leave on these trips where he'd returned with cash, and nothing was known about his mysterious financial backers. But Seagal likes to say that he was awake carrying out hits for the mob. Eventually, when Larissa filed for unemployment, she said she was basically paying Seagal to stay away from her. But she didn't want to say anything else, because she was afraid of Seagal scary friends. Well, at this point, Seagal is starting to transition to His next role, his biggest role, the movie star. So while Seagal is struggling to keep his dojo open, no, he's married to two women on two different continents, he finally decides to make good on his promise to get rich in Hollywood. So God just happens to me with Kelly LeBrons manager who tells him if he wants to break into Hollywood, he needs to be seen with famous people. Seagal like anyone else who had seen Kelly LeBron and anything in the 80s was completely smitten with her. Don't hate me because I'm beautiful. So he pulls a straight up baller move and takes off to Japan and meet her not long after that meeting with our manager. So Seagal is back in Japan where his wife and kids live, while his other wife is back in the US, and he's going to meet Kelly LeBron so that he can break into Hollywood. Well, he succeeded in meeting her and within two weeks of meeting, they were lovers. And a year later, they were parents. So God at one point had two wives one separate continents while he's warming his third wife. And why is that? Because Steven Seagal is an absolute monster. This dude is terrible, worse than I could even imagine. But back to our story. So by this point, the Taos Dojo completely failed. So God calls one of his shady friends to steal Kelly LeBrons Porsche so that he can use the insurance money to fund his dojo. So I mean, remember what Kelly's manager told Seagal? If you want to make it in Hollywood. You need to be seen with famous people being married to Kelly LeBron wasn't enough. Seagal had to take a page from Bruce Lee's playbook and become sensei to the stars. And that's exactly what he did. In 1987. He opened a dojo in Los Angeles, where he taught Bruce Lee's former student, James Coburn, Sean Connery, he broke his wrist, and the person responsible for launching cigars career. Michael Ovitz Michael Ovitz the range for cigar to meet with executives of Warner Brothers where he would demonstrate Aikido. Martin Makita a karate instructor was brought in to service the gods okay for the demonstration. By the end, the Warner Brothers executives were amazed. They'd never seen anything like what's the Gaul was doing? And one said that he couldn't believe how easily cigar could grab someone and throw them across the room with very little effort. The only thing is that the entire thing was staged. Martin Makita said that the only way cigars techniques would work is if he allowed himself to be thrown for the demonstration. But after that demonstration, Warner Brothers dropped $50,000 on a screen test for Seagal and the entire thing was a complete disaster. So go ahead, no charisma, and his whispering voice was terrible on film. This is when Ovid stepped in. Like I said Michael Ovitz launched the Gauls movie career, ovitz was the casting agent for Lethal Weapon. And when he was called on for lethal weapon to he agreed not to take a raise on the sequel if Seagal was hired to make a movie. Now there are questions about if ovitz was actually bribed by the mafia to vouch for Seagal. And this is something that's going to come up throughout cigars time as the movie star up until he started to make direct to video movies at least in 1990. Seagal is at the peak of his fame, by this time he's done above the law, hard to kill mark for death. And now for justice. making him a bonafide action hero. Around this time, Steven Seagal started his own production company with Julius nasil. And this marks an interesting twist in the golf career. He'd already had a history of implying that he had some kind of connection with a mob. Well, this Julius nasil guy started a pharmaceutical company when he was in college in the 70s, where he was selling health supplements. But what I heard is that he was selling drugs to sailors. And on top of that Julius Nestle's uncle who had the same name, Julius nasil, own a concrete company that was in some trouble involving Anthony Salerno, the original Fat Tony. Basically, these guys were connected to the Gambino crime family. It turns out that NASA loaned Seagal a half million dollars to the Gambino family's money to do a four picture deal. After forming their production company, Seagal was no longer under contract with Warner Brothers, they paid his production company, or sometimes his money went directly to Julius nasil. Now on top of that members of the Gambino family or their relatives started to appear in Seagal movies, Steven Seagal is notorious for aiding stunt men and hurting people on the set. But if you look at some of his early movies, there are people in some fight scenes who never get hit. And it turns out that those guys were all associates of the Gambino family. 3 Speaker 3 11:21 And he was given a piece of every movie that they did, money was coming in. 1 Speaker 1 11:27 So when you hear people like Sammy the bull Gravano, telling stories about how Seagal was crying to the FBI about how he was being extorted by the mafia, 3 Speaker 3 11:36 Steven Seagal all those karate movies remember that things shitting his pants I think twice. 1 Speaker 1 11:42 Well, now you know why the Gambino family went looking for their money after Seagal decided that he didn't want to make any more movies. And nasil sent them straight to Seagal while he was working on exit wounds. Now on top of dealing with the mob, so God started losing all of those friends that he'd made when he was since a to the stars. Seagal managed to get close to all kinds of special forces operators, FBI and CIA agents along with consultants solely for the purpose of taking their stories and telling them as if they happen to him. So God tried to tell the story about training with the Green Berets to a group of his students at a seminar. Everything was going okay until one guy who had been a former Green Beret spoke up and said, Hey, bro, I told you that story. Another time Seagal was treasure hunting off the coast of Barbados with Gary Goldman, and he was bragging about his time when he had been a Navy SEAL. And Gary Goldman was an ex mercenary who vouched in the press for Seagal because they were working on a movie together. But after they fell out, well, Goldman recanted on all of that stuff. And he said that the gall likes to get close to operators to steal their stories and make it part of his own personal narrative. And anyway, after Seagal was done bragging about his time as a seal while they were off treasure hunting, well he almost drowned in calm water. So God completely panic at Goldman and the other people there and to push them back onto the boat. So he was one of those navy seals that don't swim also remembers the gods from from Japan, Robert Strickland, Seagal asked him Strickland could put out a hit on Gary Goldman after he told the press that Seagal was lying about his past. Seagal also called up his friend Robert Strickland, after a GQ article came out exposing him and his lies. So God wanted Strickland to have someone help expose the article writer Alan Rickman is being gay even though Rickman wasn't gay, and as a matter of fact, so God did an interview on the Arsenio Hall Show for the sole purpose of calling out and shaming Alan Rickman. Whenever Seagal is called out he likes to flex by going on TV to try to humiliate that person. It's kind of like what Seagal tried to do in those videos that he did with Jesse in camp. And if you want to hear the details on the smack talk that happened in that video, just let me know in the comments, and I'll have to make another video because this one is going to be really long. There's a lot of stuff because Steven Seagal is a monster. But anyway, Seagal kept trying to get his former CIA consultant friend Robert stripling to carry out his dirty work whenever he got exposed by somebody. Well, that is until he finally fell out with Robert Strickland. So at the time, Seagal was making the rounds of nighttime talk shows David Letterman, Arsenio Hall and the other guys, when he was at the height of his career making movies, SCA was asked about being a consultant with the CIA, did you or did you not work with the CIA? Did I make that up? Are people just saying that to be funny? Or did you actually have a job with a Central Intelligence Agency? Have you ever lived a dangerous life 14:39 that might be like the lives they live? When you're in the CIA, 1 Speaker 1 14:47 and he shared a story about something that happened, while he told a story that he heard from Robert Strickland, and Robert Strickland just happened to be watching the interview. Strickland sued Seagal and Seagal being the kind of person to run Tell that told Strickland to back off because he has powerful friends. Later a friend contacted Robert Strickland. And they told him that he really should back off because Seagal did have some powerful people who were heavily invested in his public image. And now we know that it was the Gambino crime family. It's all this stuff about Steven Seagal literally being hard to kill in real life, like he portrayed in his movies. Well, that was all set up by the mob because they were actually invested in the success of this guy's movies and Seagal you went along with all of it because, well, Steven Seagal is an absolute monster. So while you're above Oh, yeah, that's true. But I don't care not about the law. Obviously, a person showing signs of possibly being a pathological liar, who allegedly gets in bed with a mob to become a movie star has little regard for the law. But once the goal is movie career was relegated to direct to video films. He decided to reinvent himself as a Dog the Bounty Hunter knockoff with a Steven Seagal law man reality series. And this started cigars next role as the law man. According to Seagal, he'd actually been a cop for 20 years while he was also making movies. But the truth is that outside of playing a cop in his movies, Steven Seagal actually has no training as a police officer. He claims to have done some training at the LAPD Academy, but there are no records with the City of Los Angeles to substantiate that claim. The truth is that while filming one of his movies, Seagal started giving martial arts training to local police officers. 3 Speaker 3 16:35 He's a cop now. And he's teaching them how to do karate and all these stupid moves and whatever. 1 Speaker 1 16:41 At the time mafia guys were making fun of them, which leads me to believe that it was while filming under siege, or Robert booth Nichols Gambino family associates work closely with Seagal Joseph John, a retired Navy captain who helps secure the use of the USS Missouri for the film describe Seagal and Nichols is buddies. Now I have no idea what that meant. But I guess Nichols didn't like the gossiping and so much time with the local law enforcement. Anyway, Seagal continued to teach the officers with the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Department by visiting him a few days out of the year. And after about a decade or so they just sort of grandfathered him into the department as a deputy sheriff. So God was not actually doing any type of police work other than volunteer ride alongs he had absolutely zero training. He had not done 40 years of police work as he claimed, nor had he done 20 years of police work. He claimed on his reality TV show, Steven Seagal train and some policemen the same day that he passed the die motivated to go to buds to do a SEAL training. Will Steven Seagal with absolutely zero training as a peace officer drove a tank through a guy's fence killing his dog in order to assist Sheriff Joe our Pio in the Maricopa County Sheriff's Department, bus to guy for chicken fighting. Even though the only evidence that the guy was chicken fighting was the fact that he owned a little over 100 chickens. And he had been issued a citation for being at a chicken fighting event a year earlier. So God was allegedly on loan to Sheriff Joe from the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Department. But the thing is, Seagal was not an officer with Jefferson Parish at that time, he was just a regular civilian driving a tank through this guy's house with a SWAT team to humiliate this guy who later had all of the charges dropped. And he was just so he could show something off when his reality show. So the question is, well, why was the God no longer an officer with Jefferson Parish? After I just told you guys how I got deputized? Well, so God was no longer a deputy sheriff, because Steven Seagal is an absolute monster. See, while Seagal was filming his dog, the bounty hunter knock off reality show, he took out an ad for an executive assistant, Miss Kayden when was hired for the job. And when she arrived in Louisiana, so God told her that one of her duties would be to perform a massage for him. If she didn't know how to perform the kind of massage that Seagal was talking about. Well, he would teach her by giving her a massage. 4 Speaker 4 19:12 I'm an expert in shiatsu massage, please let him aside. You know, you told me that one. Next thing you know she's ever grabbed on by? 1 Speaker 1 19:23 Well, at this point, things get very dark. And I can't really go into the full details of the alleged incident here on YouTube. I'm just gonna say that according to Kayden, she was assaulted three times in a five day period. She said that she was held in cigars home for at least a week. And when she finally managed to escape, Seagal chased after her with a weapon that had a flashlight attached to it. Caden also alleged that Seagal kept two young Russian girls on staff who are available for any extra services in addition to massage at all times of the day, knowing filed a civil suit against Steven Seagal, but her lawsuit was settled out of court. Now I'm not going to judge her decision to file a civil suit versus going to the police. That's her choice because the goal though, this was the end of his career as a police officer, Jefferson Parish was going to launch an internal affairs investigation immediately following the outcome of the lawsuit. And since settling out of court was neither an admission of guilt or innocence, the investigation was going to move forward. And I guess the gall could have potentially been facing criminal charges for as trafficking while the uniform deputy Seagal resigned immediately from his position before the investigation, and he left the state of Louisiana. If Seagal isn't already sounding like an absolute monster. Well, it turns out this wasn't even the first time he allegedly tried something like what happened with Caden when in 2004. Steven Seagal attended Rachel's funeral and during the funeral, Seagal approach Rachel's granddaughter Blair Robinson, about working as his executive assistant. Her father attended the interview with her and she was hired for the job. Good job. When Blair flew out of Scala's office in Memphis, she was informed on the first day on the job, that one of her responsibilities would be to give Seagal a massage every day. If she didn't know how to perform the kind of massage he wanted. He would teach her by giving her massage, Blair left immediately and hopped on the first flight she could get to Los Angeles, and that was that other people are not so fortunate. When Seagal was filming On Deadly Ground about 10 years earlier, he invited an 18 year old extra to a wrap party after they wrapped for that day of filming when she arrived at the party. Well, it turns out, she was the only person there. And when she arrived at the party, she was a virgin. And when she left well, she wasn't. And according to her, what allegedly happened was non consensual. So I'll let you figure it out. And if you haven't, well, I'm just going to say that what allegedly took place happen, because Steven Seagal is an absolute monster. So after being the sensei to the stars, who had three wives, the movie star being backed by the mob, and the ex cop facing too many me to allegations to count, according to The Washington Post, the only thing left for Steven Seagal is to pursue enlightenment. Because if there's anyone who can get people to look the other way, when they're accused of multiple sexual offences, and taking money from shady people, it's a religious leader. 5 Speaker 5 22:23 I just had with the Dalai Lama and he, in his wisdom, decided to make me a deity. 1 Speaker 1 22:30 In 1997, Steven Seagal was recognized as the reincarnation of John drag door je a 17th century Buddhist Lama by the Tibetan leader Penor Rinpoche. While Nora Rinpoche may have recognized the God as a Toku, Hollywood recognize that something fishy was happening. And from what I can tell, it's not been proven that Seagal made a generous donation of Pinot Rinpoche is monastery and Penor Rinpoche is organization denied receiving any substantial size donation from Steven Seagal. But you have to wonder what they define as a substantial size donation. Either way, Seagal took the honor and ran with it and he makes sure to remind people that he was recognized as a Toku every chance he gets where I am. I'm I'm a telco. In 1999, Seagal wanted to let the world know about his high spiritual accomplishment by going on the compassion in the martial arts lecture tour. On the talks, cigar was known to come out in full Tibetan monk robes, announced to everyone that he was a reincarnated Lama, and then give a Dharma talk for an hour on compassion is a spiritual discipline. At the end of the talk, Sagar would open up the floor to questions from the audience. And some of these auditoriums are known to hold 1000s of people at one talk, which was attended by Buddhist professor and meditation teacher Douglas gentille. Cigar was asked by one audience member of he always dresses in full Tibetan monk attire, Seagal his response was to roll his eyes. And then he said, next question, he was asked multiple times about how he's able to reconcile his spiritual beliefs about compassion and non violence, with the violence that he displays in His action films. And his response was to approach each take with a pure heart, and hope that it's visible to the audience. Whatever that means, well, at this point until actually press a goal on this point, after Seagal said something about his movie is really about good versus evil. And at the end, it's all about telling a story about good winning out over evil. But see, the thing is in Buddhism, this type of dualistic thinking reinforces this type of thinking that does not lead to one thing true nature. So that's why genteel presses all about his response, it's not in line with Buddha's teachings. Will cigars response to Jin Till's question was, well see, I don't want to talk over people's head in the audience, 6 Speaker 6 24:55 because we understood that this was clear really lying. 1 Speaker 1 25:01 And the truth is that Seagal had no idea what he was talking about on stage. Just like Seagal says lines in his movies. This was just another opportunity for cigar to flex on stage and pretend to be some enlightened Buddhist monk. The moment someone made him deviate from the script, or the entire facade he was trying to present fell apart. 4 Speaker 4 25:21 Hey, Steven, your ex wife caught you can't bring the kids over this weekend. You tell that to her, she doesn't get those kids over here. 1 Speaker 1 25:29 So what does any of this have to do with Steven Seagal and his martial arts accomplishments, because for some people, none of this stuff diminishes him as a martial artist in their eyes. And my question is, I mean, why doesn't it? If someone from my teacher school had all of these allegations, they be kicked out of the school and stripped of their rank? I guess the idea of Gouda or martial arts morality doesn't exist in some Japanese martial arts circles. And this is strange when an art like Aikido is supposed to have a spiritual aspect to it. But I mean, maybe it doesn't matter what you do, as long as you keep taking falls and talking like a blissed out hippie. My question is, I mean, how do you even know what's the god level of skill is his ex wife said the judge fell asleep during cigars black belt test, and it sounds like it may have been awarded as an attempt to save face Seagal stories about fighting Yakuza in Japan were fake the aikido demonstration that launched his movie career was fake. All the stunt men who Seagal beat up in his movies, it was no different from someone getting hurt taking bumps in professional wrestling. The fights are fake, the injury is real. I'm just going to say this of all of the internal martial arts people that I know personally, some of them have fought and won in combat sports. I've never heard any of them say Wow, man, look at Steven Seagal is movements. He's got great internal mechanics. So I'm going to point to my first video on Aikido the problem with Aikido. And I'm going to say that my understanding of Aikido is that it requires the same internal mechanics that make Tai Chi twin work. And I've never heard anyone say the Steven Seagal has it. So just like everything else that he's pretending to be, for me, he's also the great pretender when it comes to martial arts. And I know some people are going to feel some kind of way about what I just said. And I mean, like, look, this is just me sharing my opinion, based on the things that I have observed about Steven Seagal. The truth is this. If Steven Seagal is completely innocent of all of these allegations, none of this mafia stuff is true. And his Aikido is completely legit. How's that gonna change your life? How will that make you better as a martial artist? And I mean, if you're mad at me for doing a Steven Seagal exposed video, again, how are you getting mad at me gonna make you better? I mean, it's just my opinion that Steven Seagal is an absolute monster. And the only thing that I feel that I can learn from him is how not to be a really bad person. But sometimes Look, man, I tried to stick up for Seagal, like I did in this video where I look into if he lied about fighting Bruce Lee. And he actually mentioned that stuff in the Jessie and cam video. So I may have to post an update to this video very soon, because I know a lot more of the details than I did when I first made that video a year ago. And also, hey, if you want to know something that actually will make you better than you should keep training. Remember to breathe, and come holler at me on the next video.
