Steven Seagal: Aikido for a straight-out fight. Need I say more?

Even though all you guys think that Steven Seagal is a wimp because he does Aikido I have seen him doing demonstrations and my old teacher actually had the priveledge of sparring with him.
I assure you that he is extremely fast with his hands (probably faster than 98% of us to say the least). My old teacher was a pretty good striker and he got to spar Seagal when they were filming Under Seige, he told me that he tried everything and Seagal was so damn fast that he could not even touch him.
It was the same way for the demonstration I saw. He had several different people come in and try to attack him and he could block everything that was thrown at him.
My teacher told me after he sparred with Seagall to never doubt him because the stuff he does in the movies (at least his older ones before all this computer crap) he can do in real life as well.
