I am a big fan of martial arts movies. I did Taekwando years ago getting a blue belt (with a red stripe), should have gone on to get my black belt and am kicking myself for it now. If I were to do it again, I’ll have probably to start from the very beginning (I think).

I am a big fan of [1] Steven Seagal as I like his style of martial arts i.e. Aikido (he has a 7th Dan Black Belt in Aikido). However, in his last 10 movies or so, he has somehow changed his way of fighting — to a more Kung Fu way. My question is… why? He looks real stupid fighting in a style that he is unaccustomed with and with that really makes him look like an amateur martial artist.

Got to admit that kick-em-up martial arts fighting movies are so 80s and 90s, the movie industry is just not interested in it anymore. I think the only person that can make decent money on making martial arts films right now it [2] Jet Li. Even he knows it as he claims to have made his last true martial arts movie last year and concentrating on just action movies.

I looked up Steve Seagal on [3] Wikipedia and it seems that he is making his comeback on the big screen this year. Lets hope he goes back to basics of what made him a unique action movie star - his slick Aikido moves that really kicks butt.
