although fiction and reality are 2 sepreate things, most of us here can recognize a good martial artist on the screen, we could al see that what was done in the karatekid was crap most of us know we would eat Keanu Reeves alive
But real skills still show
Let's face it one aikidoka will be able to use it it will probably by Segal both on screen and off screen his aikido is short and powerfull
In Wado we hade a wristturn too ( kote gaeshi) but I changed the larger circle into bending the writst and pulling it agaunst your bellyslightly below the navel, now my hand do not do the real work the hips are
did I ever use it in real life no but neither did I end up on the ground whereas others seem to have a lot ( seeing the fact that every MMAists seem to stress the importance of groundfighting)
At least segal looks more valid than Jean Claude van Damme ( except for some of his bull stories
)
So I sligtly support Ewod if anyone can make an art with 6 throws work it's probably him
Oh for all you groundfighters forget a hollywood carreer, collyflowerears just aren't doing it
