Stephen Seagal has denied information about the deception of residents of Saratov

American actor Stephen Sigal has denied that the sparring with several rivals at the opening ceremony of the All-Russian Sambo Tournament in Saratov was staged.

“I’ll try not to be offended. I've been doing martial arts my whole life. How can this be a scam? When you are close to breaking a person’s arm or wrist, as a rule, he does not resist so that the fracture does not happen,” said the 63-year-old actor.

Reportedly, doubts about the reality of the sparring came after Seagal overcame all opponents too easily:

Steven Seagal is engaged in martial arts since the age of seven. He lived for about 20 years in Japan, where he was engaged in aikido, after which he began his coaching activities. Segal has the seventh dan in this kind of martial arts, which in its pure form is not exclusively a combat system. Aikido - Budo (the way to stop killing) teaches the same murderous techniques, bu-jutsu, but the main goal is not to defeat an opponent, but to make a person strong, help others, unite all people based on love.

Aikido has a total of ten Danes. Eighth and above are given only by the personal decision of Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of aikido.

Steven Seagal's creative portfolio includes about 50 films, including “Neither Alive nor Dead,” “The Ultimate Depth,” “Today You Die,” “Machete,” and the series “Nico.”

Steven Seagal is known for his warm feelings towards Russia and Vladimir Putin.
